Movie Reviews of The Firm - Total Body Toner
Movie Review: Total Body Sweat-Factor! A new Firm Favorite!
Summary: 5 Stars
I did this DVD for the first time this morning and have to say that this is one that I am going to use often. I loved it! I have bad knees myself, having had surgery on one 5 weeks ago with a second on the other in a few months. Due to other reviews of "bad knees", I debated long and hard whether or not to get this one. I have to say that I am so glad that I decided against many of the negative reviews all over the internet by buying this one. In fact I loved it so much, I have 14 more Firm Pinks in the mail now! I was totally against the Pinks as I once thought they wouldn't be nearly as effective or fun as the BSS1-4 Systems (Fanny Lifters & Transfirmer Sets). They seemed easy, and "lacked" the personality that the other systems have. Not true; I am eating my words...I loved this one!
Now since I am getting back into exercise after being down for many months, this DVD did present some challenge using 3s, 5s, and 8lbs dumbbells and not going as deep in the lunges/squats; followed beginner modification for that. Many advanced exercisers may frown upon this due to the "lack" of challenge factor that some have talked about. To correct that issue, heavy up!!! You have to make a workout work for you. You get out what you put in. After today, I know that I can go heavier on many of the exercises and will be better prepared for the next time I use this. I have read elsewhere that there are "too many squats & lunges". Not so. If you have done any of the Fanny Lifter or transfirmer DVDs, you'll get just as many, if not more lunges, especially when you include ALL of the work on top the 14 inch box. That right there is harder on the knees, my knees, than this DVD. I felt no pain and no discomfort in either knee whatsoever. That's huge considering I have days were they swell just by going up and down my stairs to do laundry.
The movements are creative, many something I have not seen in the BSS1-4 DVDs. Now they may be similar to the other Pinks, but since this is my first Pink...it's different. Her cueing is spot on, she's not overly chatty or talking as if we're 5 yrs old. My abs are pleasantly sore right now-a few hours after working out, and I really felt it in my hips/butt/thigh region. I will say my biceps didn't feel worked, but again, that is bc it was my first run-thru and I know to use heavier next time; my fault, not hers or the Firms. I felt just great after this DVD! I was sweaty and a little winded, but I felt worked out, not fatigued. I had the energy to do what I needed to do without feeling sluggish like I have after certain other DVDs/instructors. There is NO CARDIO in this workout as the description and title state. So if you expect intervals, you will not get it here. Now, there are tempo changes, but not cardio with the exception of the warm up. That doesn't mean you will skate through this. If you use the proper amount of weight, you WILL feel it and you WILL sweat!
Nothing I can complain about or would change! I love that it is only 40 minutes long!! I have so many DVDs weight lifting, cardio, and both that are 50+ minutes and it's nice to have a solid workout that gets you in and out in minimal time. Not a wasted minute and no body part left untouched. Just 40 minutes of solid toning/weight lifting and I loved every minute of it. It went by quickly and I am so thankful I purchased this. I wish there were many other 40 minute toning DVDs as good as this. We don't have to kill our bodies or spend 60-90 minutes lifting weights to get an effective workout. No gym memberships required here; just a good attitude, several sets of weights, a mat, and your best effort. Glad I bought this one; it's making me excited to try many more Pinks and Firm Products!
