5.0 out of 5 stars Great instructor leads a fun yet intense lower body workout!, February 29, 2008

This review is from: The Firm - Tight Buns & Killer Legs (DVD)

This is one of the newest workouts from the Firm, and I like it a lot. It's not quite as tough as Firm Lower Body Sculpt 1 (an older all-standing lower body workout), but it is more aerobic and still quite challenging. Plus, it was nice to see instructor Kelsie Daniels again--she looks just as good as in her old Firm/FitPrime days!

Kelsie moves very quickly through a 5-minute warm-up (I had a little trouble keeping up with her transitions the first time through). She adds interesting twists to basic moves such as bob & weave, knee ups, outer thigh lifts, and inner thigh touches; the warm-up concludes with a moving stretch for the hip flexors, calves, and quads. The main part of the workout is structured so that you do a toning series on one leg, do a short (30-40 seconds) cardio burst, and then repeat the toning series on the other leg. Kelsie cues either heavy or medium weights for each series; since it was my first time through and I was already pre-exhausted from another workout, I just used 10# the whole way through, but you could definitely go heavier.

Kelsie begins with a curtsey dip, upping the intensity by adding a knee lift and then a quad extension. She also performs a single leg squat, again adding the knee lift (which was killer here!). The first cardio blast consists of a back lunge combined with a knees high jog, and then the weight work is repeated with the other leg. In the next series, Kelsie starts with a side squat, first adding abduction, then a repeating abduct lift with balance and final a rear glute lift. A fun cardio blast follows: you begin with a simple hamstring curl but progress to a hopscotch move. The next weighted series starts with a one-legged dead lift, then adds a heel push to the rear. This is followed by a short forward squat adding a rear glute lift. Kelsie calls the next cardio segment jumping jacks, but the are more jumping planks: you jump the feet out to plank position and then jump them in and out. For the final weighted series, you'll do a 4-count plie, adding a leg balance and then also a leg lift. I loved the final cardio sequence of plie squat to side leg kick. With about 7 minutes left to the workout, Kelsi does brief cardio cool-down consisting of a few squats with back rolls and a few more plies. She then transitions to the floor for some short, one-legged bridge work which is nicely interspersed with stretching moves for the hamstrings. Kelsie concludes the workout with some nice seated stretches (forward bend, side stretch), bringing in the total time at 31 minutes.

Overall, a nicely intense, solidly intermediate, fun lower body workout that I know I will enjoy doing again and again: 4 1/2 stars!

This review is from: The Firm - Tight Buns & Killer Legs (DVD)

This is a fantastic workout. It's enjoyable, fun and makes you work hard. It's aerobic interval training and the toning is geared for the lower body. By working these larger muscles, you not only keep your heart rate up at all times, but you burn fat more. It's easy to follow and Kelsie is a good instructor. There are five segments and it takes about a half hour for the whole routine. This is good if you are short on time, but want an effective workout. You need some dumbells and you're good to go.
I like The Firm dvds. This is no exception. Because it's non complicated and fun, this is becoming a workout I do at least every second day. I enjoy it and hope you will too.

Kelsey's cues were excellent as usual, tough workout that works your entire lower body, while working up a sweat. Highly reccommend!
