5.0 out of 5 stars Great Total Body Weight Workout!, November 29, 2002

By

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

Generally I am not fond of the Firm's compilation tapes (this video was derived from several different Firm workouts), however this one has come to be one of my favorites. It works the entire body, with an emphasis on the glutes (plenty of the Firm's tall box presses, LOTS of lunges, squats, hip extensions & table work). I use fairly heavy poundage and find I get a most thorough workout. As an aside, this is NOT a cardio workout -- the minimal cardio work appears to have been included more for "fast muscle twitch" and as recovery for the next set of weight workout. Highly recommended. If you're new to weights, the Firm Beginners or Maximum Body Shaping used with light weights would be perfect.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great total body work-out!, June 9, 2002

This tape is just what the title says. It's a mix of instructors and moves, to shape your total body. It's great on variety, and keeps you moving without getting bored. The only down side may be for people with lots of Firm tapes already in their collections. This tape features a couple of new sections by Tracy Long, but the rest of the tape is spliced from other Firm videos (the Crosstrainers mostly). I'd suggest getting this tape only if you don't have the other two. Then it would be perfect to get the best of several work-outs in one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tough toning, easy cardio, October 13, 2002

The toning in this video includes pretty much every muscle group in the body--back, abs, arms (biceps and triceps), shoulders, thighs, buttocks--very effective if you want to firm up. The instructors make it very clear how the moves should be performed and show you what NOT to do. The cardio is mostly low-impact and not very challenging, which is the major criticism I have of this video. Most of the higher impact moves include alot of power jumping, which gets to be repetitive after a while. There are also quite alot of segments that have lunges, which are effective, but really, how many lunges can one person stand?

I have to wake up at 5 in the morning to have enough time to do this before work (it's 67 minutes long!) but it's well worth it. You'll see the difference!
