Movie Reviews of The Firm: Lower Body Sculpt, Vol. 1
Movie Review: Great, time-saving workout!
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought I was in pretty good shape until I did this workout for the first time! Very intensive for the lower body! I really can feel the results!Movie Review: All standing lower body sculpting routine using the Firm Fanny Lifter
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent lower body sculpting routine that really targets those glute, hip, and leg muscles through use of the Firm Fanny Lifter, a high square step which can be set to three different heights (if you don't have a FL, a full-size adjustable step could probably be used as a substitute). Firm instructor Lisa Kay does a solid job leading the workout, which comes in right around 30 minutes. In addition to the FL, various sets of dumbbells are used throughout.
The workout begins with a 6-minute warm-up and stretch using the FL at its mid-range height. Exercises in the first segment include plies, leg presses on the full FL, hover squats, and then a second leg press series; calf raises are also included as part of the leg press work. Next comes a short (3 minutes) aerobic section using the low (purple) portion of the FL, which was fun and helped keep the heart rate elevated. Another toning segment follows, this one with dips, lunges, and squats, and then there is another 3-minute aerobic sequence, this time on the floor (includes some small plyometric jumps). Yet another set of leg presses comes next plus more calf work, squats, and finally, dips/curtsy dips. The workout ends with a 3-minute stretch seated on the FL.
Although I haven't always clicked with Firm workouts, I enjoyed this one very much, and I felt that my lower body got an excellent workout. I also think that the routine is quite customizable to meet your needs: the first time through, I was already tired from another workout, so I used a bit lighter weights, but you could easily go quite heavy on your weights as well. Furthermore, I loved that the workout moved quickly, which meant that my heart rate stayed in my target zone for about two-thirds of the workout (eg, over 20 minutes). I would definitely recommend this routine, especially for those like me who do not enjoy floor work and thus prefer standing exercises for their lower body.
Movie Review: Great Lower Body Workout
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this workout to be really great, could not make it through the whole video. Don't Know why people complain about these videos they are awesome. You do need the fanny lifter though I dont have it I have the transfirmer and just use that. You may need weights but I didnt my own weight were good enough.Movie Review: Not pleased.

The Firm Lower body sculpt DVD did not meet my expectations.
Not enough info was offered to let you know that you need to purchase additional equipment (the Fanny Lifter) in order to do the workout. So once I got the DVD I could not get stared right away. The moves are very slow, not enough repetitions, too many routine changes, not to mention the lack of enthusiasm by the instructors. Lines are definitely learned. Not unisex friendly. I could not see my husband working out with me to that routine! More for "Stepford Wives" I have heard that The Firm Series from the 1980's is better than the current. But I'am not going to experiment. I'll continue to work out to my Billy Blanks videos.
Movie Review: Great timesaving workout!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is classic Firm in only 30 minutes! The first time I did this tape my legs felt wobbly and I was using some other Firm videos at the time. It's not so bad now but is still a great workout for those who haven't got an hour to spare. The instructor is motivating and not cutesy. This DVD is a definite plus to any serious workout library! Great for the serious who are short on time!
