The Firm - Total Body Time-Crunch (DVD, 2007)

I'm a huge fan of The Firm videos, and this is one of my new favorites. The best thing about it is that it has lots of new and different moves that work the muscles from different angles. I especially like the combo moves like the Triceps Tummy Trimmer and the deadlifts with abductions. It's great to have some new ways to work out, since it's so important to keep changing up your workouts to keep the muscles growing.

I know many people misses the old firm videos, but this is a body tonning with a little cardio combination that won't dissapoint you. It's very well cued and IMHO it's for a begginer/intermediate level. You can make it more challenging by adding more weight. I think this is one of the best of the "Pink series" workouts along with total body toner and get chisel'd.

I am 53 years old and find The Firm exercise dvd's to be perfect for me. Especially the Time-Crunch series. For my age they are not too terribly hard and I can complete them in less than an hour. Ten years ago I did The Firm Tough Tapes, and they were very challenging, more so than what I want now, so I have switched to the Time Crunch. I would recommend these to anyone.

I bought this DVD and another recently from the Firm. The new moves are fun to do, but, like the other other DVD, several of them are facing the side and it takes longer to learn what you're supposed to be doing. In one place on this DVD, the instructor's footwork doesn't match what she's telling you to do. So, while the workout is pretty good, this isn't my favorite DVD.

I have been a big fan of Firm for a long time.I was looking for something new to add to my collection .I enjoyed the new instructor and the format as usual was fun and challenging-time flew by . Ab section at the end was great.Its also nice to have the choice of 45min or 25min workout

I bought this DVD about 6 months ago and had only used it TWICE, last time being 4 months ago and I work out regularly 4-5 times each week. I recalled that I didn't quite like it and that was why it was passed over each time I chose a workout to do. I have 23 Firm Workout tapes and DVDs (and another on the way)plus countless others and always seem to enjoy the workout I get from the Firm DVDs. There was only one that I considered a total waste of my time and this one ranks second from the bottom. Yesterday I decided to give this DVD another try. It's not as strenuous a workout as some of the others but it's the instructor that I find hard to follow. With some of my favorite Firm instructors, such as Allie, Emily and Kelsie, it is not even necessary to keep your eye on the TV as their cuing is so good. Allie and Kelsie are especially good at cuing and as a result, I purchase any workout DVD of which they are the instructors. With this DVD, the cuing was so poor that I found myself stopping and then trying to catch up. It shouldn't be necessary to always watch the TV when working out. Just the verbal cues will do to allow one to keep up. And I agree with another reviewer in that the Instructor's voice is so very monotone....definitely not a motivation.

Needless to say, I will not purchase any future Firm DVDs with this featured instructor.

I PERSONALLY LIKE THE EARLIER FIRM WORKOUTS; THEY SEEM TO BE MORE INTENSE. THESE ARE GOOD WORKOUTS TO ADD INTO YOUR ROUTINE. JUST DO NOT EXPECT TO "SWEAT" LIKE THE OLD WORKOUTS.

I wanted something new from the Firm, so I decided to try this workout. It seems to target muscles all over the body and mixes up cardio with weights. The only thing I don't like is that the queuing could be better, or at least spend a few more seconds on some exercises before moving on the next. But it's a great workout, and I'm glad I bought it.

I bought this to add to my collection of Firm workouts. I am very selective on what I purchase for workouts and I am pleased with this one. It is really fun and perfect for a more light day of aerobics and weight lifting/toning. The time will go by quickly as you burn and firm! I highly recommend this for a beginner exerciser.

Great instructor, high energy, great pace to get heart rate up and keep it up. A real burner of a workout! One of FIRM's best!

I have been using the Firm Transfirmer Videos for over a year now, absolutely love them, and the change in my figure, but needed a change, so I thought this video would be good. Whew...it is a workout. I sweat like never before. It is really fast paced, so you need to be in decent shape, kind of hard to do of course not knowing the routines yet. Lots of free weights, working lower and upper body simultaneously. Pretty fast paced so it can be straining if you don't have the proper form. Be careful! I would definately recommend this video. Both 45 and 25 minute workouts on one DVD, so that is GREAT!

This alternates cardio and toning with weights. I think each is 5 minutes long approx. I find some of the cardio moves a little hard to follow, but move as best I can just to keep going. The toning is excellent! The music and background are very good.

Rebeka is somewhat monotone, and maybe a little unclear at times, but overall her cuing is good.

Definitely one that I use frequently

I love this workout! It came fast and quick! You will not be disappointed in these work-outs. I religiously do these work outs 6 days a week. I have about 10 of the FIRM work outs and I alternate every day.
Excellent instructor and a good work out...

I have bought so many workout videos and just didn't like them. My friend told me about The Firm. I initially bought Tight Buns and Killer legs and LOVED it. I bought this one a couple of months later. I really like the instructor although the girl you follow if you're a beginner is a bit irritating. Rebecca, the instructor is great. It's a good overall workout. My arms are toning after just a couple of weeks. The cardio part is hard to keep up with, but that's always been difficult for me. The toning portions ROCK! I highly recommend this and think it's worth being in your collection, although it isn't my favorite (just because the cardio moves change too quickly for me).
