What program did you use? Did you compress it when you rendered/exported it?

I use premiere pro as well, and I just export/render normally.  Don't forget to deinterlace if you have to.  You can change the export settings in premiere when you choose where to save/title your movie, and there'll be a box under save called settings.  As for compression, I just use this:

Download the free program.  You have to have Quicktime though...It exports to MP4, .AVI, and others, but I can't remember them.  It's pretty easy to use, and you can choose the percent quality you want while compressing it a bunch.  Just toss your edit in there and it'll do it all for you.

most versions of premiere will allow you to export to adobe media encoder, where you can easily compress the file.
if you have an older version of premiere you may need to download a compressor like sorenson squeeze, which is easy to get from a torrent site.
