5.0 out of 5 stars This workout is AWESOME!, April 10, 2002

This review is from: The Firm - Total Body - Maximum Body Shaping [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I love this workout video! I have many exercise videos...many of which are Firm tapes, and I have to say this one is one of my favorites. It has a nice pace - never gets boring, and it's TOUGH. Also, it's 45 minutes long which is the length I like best (I get bored with tapes that are one hour or longer). You get a great workout with weights combined with aerobics and every muscle gets a thorough workout. This workout requires light to medium weight dumbells and a step/box. I would not recommend this tape for beginners....I am intermediate to advanced and I found it very challenging.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hardcore, March 25, 2002

If you are looking for a hardcore work out video, this is it. It is not boring, and the instructor is there step by step for each exercise. After using only less than half of the tape, I was out of breath and needed to take a break, and the following 2~3 days I had problem going up and down stairs. I think if you're a beginner, take it slow and allow yourself lots of time in between each workout for a full rest so you don't hurt yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tracie Long is my favorite Firm instructor, August 19, 2002

This review is from: The Firm - Total Body - Maximum Body Shaping [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This tape is approximately 45 minutes long and is rated for beginner to intermediate exercisers. The tape is focused on weight training and has very little cardio work. That being said, I love this tape because of the instruction Tracie Long provides. She is a great teacher, constantly demonstrating proper and improper technique. Her timing and cueing for upcoming moves is excellent. You do not need to watch this tape 5x to catch on to the moves.

This tape becomes less challenging as you get in better shape, but you can always increase the weights you are using. I have also added ankle weights to increase the difficulty now that I am getting in shape. Tracie moves quickly thru a variety of exercises. There are no long sets, which can be a good or bad thing, depending on your fitness level and personal workout preferences.

Overall, I like this tape because of the instruction and the simplicity of the exercises. I just keep coming back to it time and time again.
