Movie Reviews of The Firm: Body Sculpting System - Cardio Sculpt
Movie Review: Love this workout, wish DVD had a menu
Summary: 4 Stars
I first purchased this FIRM series on VHS with the original Fanny Lifter and I purchased my own weights. This was in 2004. Essentially, this is one of my favorite workouts (keep in mind, I am not an avid exerciser)! I think that the cardio-strength training blend is just right and the modifications make the workout one that can be tailored to anyone's needs. I really feel that the workout targets all of the problem areas (for me)-- arm flab, thighs, etc. Plus, I enjoy the cardio segments, especially the one with the Samba music.
My only complaint, and I believe that this was addressed by another reviewer, is that the DVD has no menu and you cannot skip or reverse to a different segment. Sometimes I want a modified (30 minute workout) and I'd like to not have to fast forward the same way that I did with the VHS. I'm sure they've (the FIRM) remedied this with their current DVDs. I've yet to upgrade to their newer systems because I really love this workout, so the DVD issue is minor.
Movie Review: Love it!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was so happy to find this DVD. I have already done this program in the past and lost thirty five pounds. But when I purhased the program I had VHS tapes that I used so much they finally gave out. So I did not want to purchase the whole program again (the steps and other videos) and was very please to find only the part I was missing. If you have already used firm before I know there is no reason to sell you the pros of this video. If you have never purchased this program before please make sure you have the Firm steps you can't do the video without them.Movie Review: One of my standbys
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using the FIRM videos for about 7 years now off and on, and I am very familiar with most of the instructors. Allie is one of my favorites by far. She's upbeat but not chirpy, straightforward but fun. She respectfully and carefully shows modifications for all levels of exercisers. I also like that she doesn't make you do two sets of sixteen things right in a row so that you're hating it by the end. She WILL say things like, "This is a long set, so stay with me here," which I personally don't like because I hate hearing that it's a long set - but when you actually get right down to it, each set is not that long. Each set is relatively short (maybe twelve or sixteen reps total) but then the workout spirals back to the same muscle group eventually, so you get enough reps without burning out. Her cardio moves are fun and easy to learn, and she gives verbal cues with good timing so you don't get lost. I agree with other reviewers that this is more of a moderate toning tape with some cardio thrown in, but it does make me break a sweat and I feel that good burn all over when I'm done. I actually look forward to doing this workout, and I don't even mind that it's close to an hour long. I look forward to any future FIRM DVD's that Allie comes out with - she's a great instructor.Movie Review: Great results
Summary: 5 Stars
I like the combination of weights and aerobics in this routine. Ally keeps changing it up so that I can keep going for the entire hour. I also really like that she walks you through warm-up and cool-down activities. And best of all? I can see the results, I feel better, and actually find that I have more energy!!Movie Review: doesn't disapoint
Summary: 5 Stars
allie is awesome. she works you in this workout. it's exactly what the title says. sculpting for a few minutes and then cardio off and on. allie always has a bit of more 'dance' in her cardio moves - which i prefer. she's always been a favorite of mine and doesn't disapoint me here.
