The Firm - Body Sculpting System: Complete Body Sculpting (DVD, 2004)

This is my favorite FIRM video. The level of difficulty is perfect for someone who is relatively fit. The FIRM box is a MUST to do the dvd and the box does NOT come with the video if you just buy the video alone.

The firm is an awesome workout! Make sure you get the videos that come with the steps also known as the fanny lifter. There are a lot of old workout videos called the Firm that are not meant to be used with the steps and they do not give the same results. They are not easy videos if you are just starting, but you don't use weights at first and just do what you can do. These videos are amazing for your butt! You will see it lifting and transforming within 2 weeks. It is amazing. It is also great for the legs and thighs. Way better than going to the gym!

I like the variation in routines and the fact that I really can feel the workout. I thought the mic on the instructor was turned down too low. Sometimes it is hard to hear what she's saying over the music. I tried to find the Box online but couldn't locate it on The Firm's web site. That means I have to be creative with the equipment I have in order to achieve the same incline for the workouts. I decided to buy it because they guarantee results in just 10 workouts.

I have many Firm workouts and this is one of my least favorite. For me, Christa is hard to understand and even hear above the music at several points throughout the workout. However, if you want a killer workout that will leave you feeling like you've definitely accomplished something give it a try! Not for the faint of heart!

This is one of my favorite Firms. It has great music and the exercises are alot of fun. Its a workout I look forward to. It uses the Firm Transfirmer which is a step that can be used at 6 or 8 inches for aerobics or 14 inches for the Firm leg press which really is a wonderful exercise. But work up to the 14 inches because it can be hard on the knees if you aren't used to it. Start off with the 8 inches and then work up to it. This step also can be used at an incline. Now this is such a genious part of it. I love it! Now, lunging doesn't hurt my knees! And you can even do leg pressess on the incline. And doing step on the incline totally zero's in the glute hamstring area and off the knee/quad area.
This workout alternates muscle toning with step and floor aerobics. Christa is a great Firm instructor. There is alot of lower body work like squats,dips off the step, lunges onto the Transfirmer and leg press. There is also quite a bit of upper body work too. The workout finishes with abs and a great stretch.
The only thing I don't like is that the DVD isn't chaptered. But the good outweigh the things I don't like.
