Another gem from the Firm.LaReine Chabut is awesome and very motivating.This has a twelve minute aerobic section that lets you choose twelve minutes or the full effect of twenty something minutes.I usual do the rewind thing a do twenty minutes.It uses the aerobic stool and of course the Firm Fanny lifter.This tape also helped me lose 80 pounds it is wonderful.Another plus is that you get a great lower body by the fanny lifter and the tough floor work at the end of it.It has sure shaped my lower body and it will do the same for you.LaReine Chabut is awesome.

PROs
- The routine here is similar to the Jayne Poteet video except that instead of a bar bell, you use dumb bells for the whole work out.
- Like the Poteet video, this has a good combination of exercises and isn't too easy or too hard. It's just right and all you need is use heavier weights when you feel that it's getting easy.
- Chabut is a decent instructor with good cueing.
- The stretch routine is nice.

CONs
- I don't like it that you have to rewind the video to do a full 30-minute aerobic workout. That doesn't work for me at all because then I interrupt the aerobic effect to rewind (or click back to that section of the DVD). For this reason, I use this video less than Jayne Poteet's.

I hadn't done weight training when I first used this workout. I worked very hard to learn good technique, and it has paid off. I enjoyed the short discussion about weight training for women, fat burning, muscle building, etc. Excellent workout!
