5.0 out of 5 stars My legs are still burning!, May 29 2004

By	Michelle Fraley "nickshell" (Tucson, AZ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

All I can say is wow - this workout really lives up to the standards I have developed for Firm workouts. Like other Firm workouts, the excercises are straight-foward and require relatively low coordination (which is good for someone like me who loves to work out but can never seem to follow an aerobic tape because of confusing choreography). However, the instructor does move from one workout sequence to the next rather quickly so you need to have your step and weights nearby - but after viewing the workout a few times and becoming familiar with the routine following her instructions should be no problem. This workout is intense both on the upper and lower body and utilizes many of the same moves as other Firm workouts such as squats with weights, leg press off the step, and the same general arm exercises with the addition of a few barbell exercises. Overall, as an intermediate to advanced exerciser I found this workout to be challenging and interesting enough to keep in my normal rotation. My one major complaint is that the instructor seems a little bland - some people may prefer the fact that she is not perky - but when I am working my butt off I prefer someone a bit more upbeat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the Firm videos, May 7 2004

By	Mab "lattana" (Evans, CO USA) - See all my reviews

I have been doing Firm videos since last year (had to take a break for 6 moths for illness) and This one is my favorite. It is lead by Pam and alternates between upper and lower body and strength training and cardio. Easy to learn the moves but a tough and effective workout.

However, it is not for everyone. If u don't like hard and fast work or don't want to invest in a set of weights (at least 3, 5, & 8lbs) than this is not the video for u. It takes real work but if u commit to it (& add firm cardio to alternate with) the results will be fast and amazing.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best FIRM ever!!!!, Oct 4 2003

By A Customer

This tape is the best workout the FIRM ever made. All the muscle groups get worked, though there is a whole lot of upper body emphasis. I love the jazzy music. Pam is an excellent instructor. Her cuing is right on. The only bad thing about this workout is the editing. But once youve done this workout a few times it wont bother you that much. This tape is a little dated but youll never find as fun a workout as this tape!
