Editorial Reviews

With the approval of Gaiam Americas, Inc. The FIRM Volume 3 'Low-Impact Aerobics' DVDs with Sandahl Bergman(original 1988 Release) is exclusively manufactured and distributed by Fitness Favorites, LLC. Designed by Anna Benson, the DVD has a menu & chapters, and is packaged in a full-sized, shrink-wrapped DVD case. A preview of this workout is available at Anna Benson Workouts on You Tube. Both fitness & video experts judged this production to be "the best." And FIRM users agree: in an independent poll of thousands of FIRM users, 99% called it the "most effective" of all workouts they've ever used. The FIRM typically produces results within 10 workouts. After a cardio/stretch warm-up (5 Min.), this 60 min. workout features 3 cardio +weights intervals (13 Min., 12 Min. & 12 Min.). Each has body-specific cardio, before appropriate resistance-sculpt. The 4th interval (18 Min.) alternates floor sculpt with same-muscle stretches. The diverse choreography has both exercise variety & effective sequencing. Like many high-budget movies, the music was scored to a rehearsal video. Actress/Dancer Sandahl Bergman is a polished performer with excellent technical virtuosity. A fit, attractive cast of 20 with different body types & ages, illustrate Ms. Bergman's easy-to-follow instructions. Appropriate for intermediate to advanced exercisers. Recommended Equipment: Beginners can start with no weights. Light dumbbells (3-8 lbs.), heavy dumbbells (10-15 lbs.), tall 14" step & optional ankle weights (2-5 lbs. per leg).

This review is from: The FIRM DVD Classic 'Vol. 3 Aerobic Weight Training' by Anna Benson with Sandahl Bergman (DVD)

Results, results, results!!

Ignore the 80's style, cheesy music..and MAN..you will have that GREAT toned body in such a short time!!

DO NOT BE FOOLED!! This one is HARD, thourough, complete, and one of the BEST total body workouts EVER!! I have owned this one since I was 16--I am 30 years old now!! This workout NEVER gets old (besides our ever-changing styles of clothing and makeup)..this one is PERFECT!!

My ONLY complaint..is that the warmup/cool downs are TOO LONG.but I'm leaving my 5 stars because I simply fast forward the long warmup--and do my own. :)

Please, please invest in this workout...you won't be sorry. And the way you will see results won't leave you feeling dissapointed. I havn't ever seen one bad review on the Classics in ages. This is perfect for beginners, AND advanced. Infact, advanced exercisers never stop loving this video (such as myself). I wish more workouts would be made like this one..such fantastic and visable results..actually in LESS then 10 workouts!!

Simply a classic and a fortune for your body. :)

This is the best workout ever and I'm so excited that it's finally on DVD. Everything about this workout is quality. The music, the timing, the sequencing, the BEST!!! It is from the 80's, but if you can get over the clothes, it's an amazing workout. Sandahl Bergman will kick your butt! (and you'll love it!)

This review is from: The FIRM DVD Classic 'Vol. 3 Aerobic Weight Training' by Anna Benson with Sandahl Bergman (DVD)

This is my go-to video when I want a serious workout. Don't be fooled by the 1980's workout gear. Sandhal Bergman leads this video and she is a professional dancer but she's tough. She looks all innocent in the video except she's killing you the whole time. This video is an interval workout where by cardio and weights are used (sometimes together). Its a one-stop-shop for the whole body. After this workout you will not need to do another workout one to supplement it. Its all here and you will be dripping in sweat by the end. The video not only tests your strength but your endurance.
