Step Boss Peripheral Heart Action (PHA) 3 clocks in at just under 55 minutes.  In this iteration of PHA, Cathe takes you through two blocks or rounds of alternating lower and upper body exercises. The first block consist of 8  lower and upper body exercises. After performing all 8 exercises. You repeat the whole group for a second set. The second block consist of 6 lower and upper body exercises that follow the same pattern as the first block.You are doing two sets of all exercises. There's lots of platform work in PHA3. On quite a few of the exercises you are removing the step platform and working just with that piece of equipment. There are also a lot more functional and body weight moves than previous PHAs. I was trying to figure out why this workout was 10-minutes longer than the other two. I think it is because there is more single sided work in PHA3.

PHA2 is a fast moving cardio-inducing total body workout. It alternates lower and upper movements.  The original PHA workout has been one of my favorite Cathe workouts. In PHA2, you are performing 8 exercises per round. There are two rounds. Each round is further subdivided into two sub-rounds or sets. There is an A round and a B round.  You will do all 8 exercises in round A and then repeat them again in round B before moving to the next grouping.  The number of reps vary by the exercise. As stated earlier this is a fast moving workout. There is really no time to write anything down.  This is one of those workouts where you want to have an idea  of your weight selection before hand. I like this workout just as much as the first PHA.
