I think it's fine. I do not find these upper body workouts challenging, although you do get a nice burn. You shouldn't have a problem with heavier weights the day before. I LOVE these workouts for what they are doing for my thighs and abs.

I'll probably be sorry I asked this, but what is P57? I find out about sooo many excellent workout dvds on this site - is this another one I'm gonna "need"?

It stands for Physique 57 which is a barre type of workout and is really good and pretty tough.

It's been getting great reviews and seems very effective. A lot of ladies that lift heavy with Cathe for legs are humbled by these types of workouts, as it really works you differently and makes you actually shake if you do it with proper form. The music in the DVDs but the instructor is sort of chatty and goofy and has been compared to a female Tony Horton.
I personally like them very much. I find them difficult.

I ordered mine September 2. I ordered all three dvd's. I called them this morning and asked where my order was as I have not received any notice that it had shipped. I was informed that one of the dvd's is backordered and hence it has not shipped. They have no idea when they will get them back in stock. So who knows how long it will take!

Oh great! I just ordered mine a couple days ago! So, now I just went and read the email regarding my purchase and it said allow 2 - 3 weeks for delivery. Good thing I have 6 weeks left of STS anyway before I begin these. Plus, STS cardio should be arriving shortly thereafter.

First of all, I did the workout (60 minute one) on Friday, and yes, I agree, I was humbled! The upper body work was very minimal, so I didn't feel any stress working it after doing MM Upper BOdy premix on Thursday.
But the lower body stuff! WOW! I couldn't believe I was getting so much burn on this work, NO weights! It's good stuff!! I can definitely see how it shapes and firms and lifts your buttocks!!
As far as the ordering and shipping, that was the WORST experience for me. I'm used to Cathe.com. I ordered Stretchmax on Sunday, and got it on Wednesday!!!! P57 I ordered 8/19 an received it this past Wednesday, 9/9. So that was 3 weeks!!! Sucks!

P57 out of stock
I ordered on 9/3. Called on 9/12, told one DVD is out of stock so they are waiting. I sent them an unhappy message last night. I received a reply today, they claim they are out of stock of all three and will get them soon. No date or week mentioned as to when that "soon" might be. I clearly asked customer service if the items were on stock at the time of ordering back on the third and they confirmed they had it in stock. It is really indicative of what kind of business it is. No problem in saying what a customer wants to hear in order to get your money

I've heard this so many times. They really should be upfront about the back order situation. They should just post the information on their website. That way you can decide if you want to order knowing that the item is back ordered or in stock. I mean Amazon tells you if the item is in stock it shouldn't be a big deal to let us know.
