5.0 out of 5 stars I'm a Firm fan, Jun 28 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Firm: Body Sculpting System 2: Complete Aerobics & Weight Training (DVD)

I have had this workout a few weeks and am really enjoying it. I mix it up with other Firm workouts among other things.

I do think the intensity level, especially for cardio, is quite a bit lower than some of the older Firm tapes. However, it is still challenging enough for me (an intermediate level aerobics person) to get up a good sweat.

I did get the Fanny Lifter as I think it adds a lot to the Firm workouts (although this workout only did one or two sets of step-ups with the Lifter). I don't think the sculpting stick is needed for this one. The twigs can be duplicated by using 16 oz. cans from the kitchen, and I think using the stick for balance actually lessens the intensity of some of the exercises.

As others have mentioned, I'm not sure I like the production of the newer Firm workouts as much. The workout participants seem even more smiley and plasticky and fake than usual. The main instructor on this workout, though, is very good. Cues are spot-on, and she is upbeat without being overly peppy.

I'd recommend this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another top-notch Firm workout, Jun 23 2004

This review is from: The Firm: Body Sculpting System 2 - Complete Aerobics & Weight Training (VHS Tape)

This is another effective Firm workout that is both challenging, fun, yet doesn't aggravate my bad back. My only beef with this workout is that the instructor, Emily, keeps saying "whoo" throughout the workout. Ease up on the fake-sounding enthusiasm. But the workout itself is great. I definitely recommend the Fanny Lifter with all these new tapes. This tape doesn't rely on the Sculpting stick too much so you could get away without it and not lose much effect.

This review is from: Firm: Body Sculpting System 2: Complete Aerobics & Weight Training (DVD)

i have several of the Firm on VHS, they are an excellent tape to get into aerobic weight training. i love the interval training concept as i do not have the attention span for workouts that its just all one thing repeated like say step. the interval part keeps me from quitting as i know i wont be doing say ABS or LUNGES for very long and its on to the next exercise. i bought this workout on DVD to spring myself into getting back into working out and its really helped me stay on track and found this an excellent fun workout i especially love the cardio kickboxing. i look forward to doing this workout and have recommendeed it to several friends who have asked me how i'm losing my weight as consistantly as i have been.. i'm VERY happy to say i see continuing results, at firsti took it easy and did some of this workout but over time i did add segments and still do not do the whole workout mostly cause i would like to be able to MOVE the next day. its an exceleent workout.. Emily is a wonderful instructor and would like to see more firm workouts taught by her. good luck to anybody starting an exercise plan!

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT WORKOUT
This works...Great for advanced/intermediate levels. Beginners as well, as long as they follow the modified movements. Excellent weight training for the thighs and upper body.
