I am trying to dedcide between purchasing SS/PP or PH/MIS/BM. I have read a lot of conflicting posts about SS/PP, but haven't found as much about the PH DVD. I really like ME and want to do endurance type work outs in my rotation for a while after I finish STS, so I am not looking for a 3 day split. I am also planning to purchase BM2, DM and HSC, but just can't decide on a total body weight work out. I think the only thing that is holding me back on PH/MIS is that it is an older DVD....and I am concerned that SS/PP won't really work my muscles to exhaustion....opinions please!
Help me decide.....

If you are looking for something more along the lines of ME, then I would definitely go with PH/MIS/BM. PH is a total body workout that definitely leaves me feeling worked out. I also like MIS/BM although they do have a more dated look to them than PH does.
SS is a circuit done using a stability ball for many exercises and PP alternates between opposing muscle groups (which I like very much). I usually go heavier than Cathe on most of the exercises in these. They are shorter workouts that I usually add in when I want to hit all the muscle groups one more time that week, without wearing myself out.
Also, I don't know how you feel about including abs in your workout, but SS has 1 ab move in each of its 4 circuits, PP does not include abs. PH/MIS/BM each have their own ab portion in the workout.

I agree with Lori Ann about PH/MIS/BM being better. I love the endurance workouts on this one and a great cardio workout with Bodymax. I have SS/PP and use the premixes more than the original workouts. But when I am looking for endurance I have used PH/MIS/BM much more often as even older does not mean it is not still effective...

My strategy is always to buy 'em all! Sad, but true.
thank you all for your responses. And I agree with you morningstar, I tend to want to just buy them all! I am sure I will eventually! I think I am going to go with PH, MIS, BM. I have wanted to try this one for a while, and I think it is what I am looking for. Thanks for your input!
