Movie Reviews of The Firm - Cardio Sculpting Balls Kit
Movie Review: Outstanding Core/Ab workout & fun to boot!
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD is a sweatfest--guaranteed! While I think the word 'sculpting' is a tad misleading, (I believe you need heavy weights for that), this will definitely tone your muscles & provide some sculpting benefits. Don't scoff at the two pounds. I can do a 15-20# lat row; but in most sculpting workouts, you do have a break here & there for your muscles. With this workout 98% of the time you are holding, pushing, pulling, thrusting, swinging, etc. one or both balls for a straight 55 minutes. They WILL GET HEAVY! Think of it as as a low weight overload.
I think Rebekah does a fine job leading & the moves combined with the balls give you a different type of workout than traditional dumbells. This variation also provides a fun factor. Be advised at times it moves very quickly; but if you can't do it right away, that only gives you room to grow. What's nice is there are two express workouts. Two workouts that are 25 minutes each that are parts of the whole workout. It's a great way to learn the choreography & get your feet wet before jumping into the hour long segment.
I'll be honest--it's the best ab & core workout I've ever experienced. (I've done a lot of them!) When doing the simplest moves I noticed I was holding my abs & core tightly just to maintain proper form & control--even without Rebekah's reminders. Traditional ab workouts don't always give me the best results; but I felt this one! Complete core work through a 'functional' type program. You'll feel it all over & burn some serious calories as well. -
Movie Review: The workout is OK...
Summary: 2 Stars
...but the Stepford co-instructors ruined it for me! The one in back on the right and the one in front on the left have these horrible, fake, hideous, plastic smiles for THE ENTIRE LENGTH of the workout. Their phony expressions do not change in the slightest, making me wonder if there was something wrong with them! Video makers want their instructors/cast members to look pleasant, but let them look HUMAN for heaven's sake!
As for the workout, the balls are fine for aerobics, but there's no way any muscle is going to be "sculpted" with 2-lb weights. How far the mighty Firm has fallen! These new workouts pale in comparison to the classics, to say the least. It's back to Susan Harris and the gang for me!
Movie Review: Love the firm
Summary: 4 Stars
I have used the original Firm and got great results. I was a bit sceptical to buy this new Firm,but i wanted a variety in my workout so i purchased the Sculpting balls. I am now a FIRM believer. At the end of the workout, I was felt my entire body got a great workout. I plan to purchase more Firm DVD's. With a consistent workout and lifestyle, this can really work.Movie Review: Cardio Sculpting Balls Workout is Very Hard....But Fun Too!
Summary: 4 Stars
I am a dedicated "Firmee" and this new product did not disappoint. There is a long workout and two shorter, more focused workouts for days when you don't have much time. Very challenging....but fun too. And they featured some Firm "Believers" in this DVD - a first I believe. Well worth adding to your collection.Movie Review: Meh... so so
Summary: 3 Stars
I was really looking forward to the release of this dvd, really. I couldn't keep up through Cardio Core Fusion, some of the moves were really awkward and you have to be a little bit more flexible to keep up (side lunges while moving the balls front side and back). The push ups with one hand on the ball were really hard on my wrists, so I couldn't keep proper form. Her cardio was okay, lots of sports drills. The toning was good, I was achy during that portion with the types of moves and the reps. Rebekah is great at cueing, she did look on the thin side, very ribby. I enjoyed that she would start her workouts from a basic move to more advanced. I enjoy the fact that this one was not at all dancy. I agree with another reviewer that she 'recycled' her warm up throughout the other workouts. This is a fun idea and is great for some variety during your workout schedule. Three stars for repetition, three stars for the level of challenge involved.
