They call this one a "short workout" - originally Volume 4 of the Firm classic total body workouts. It does give you a very thorough workout and it breaks up the routine so that you're doing short non-weighted cardio segment interspersed with powerful weighted segments. Lunges, plies, deltoids, biceps, triceps, lat rows, and a solid ab segment followed by a thorough stretch. I added this tape to my routine, graduating to it a couple of months after I had my son 16 years ago and found it to be not boring at all. That and a reasonably healthy diet caused me to drop 43 pounds in six months and I remained in solid shape by using this tape three days per week for several years. Like most of us, unfortunately I found myself dropping out of the exercise routines due to day-to-day life. But after getting a wake-up call and realizing that I'm in the WORST shape of my life, I broke it out again today, starting out slowly and with no weights (there's a segment at the end where they tell you how to start without getting sore) and I have to tell you I made it fine through it, I feel wonderful, and I wonder why I ever put it to the side.
The moves are fluid, safe, and easy to follow. The instructors aren't annoyingly perky. You do need a step-up box and some hand weights after the first week, but that's easy enough. It's a solid workout that delivers the promised "Visible results within 10 workouts". I just wish they'd bring it back and put it on DVD! + See Full Customer Review |  |
