Editorial Reviews

Master Instructors Tracie Long & Susan Harris skillfully lead this tough workout (62 Min.). Equipment includes short & tall steps, heavy & light dumbbells & optional barbell. The warm-up (12 Min.) is divided into four parts: fluid, compound moves, floor core, step aerobics & prep-stretch. Alternating intervals of heavy weights & cardio challenge even the most advanced exercisers for maximum results in minimal time (43 Min.). Aerobics include ballroom choreography. Final floor core & seated stretch (7 Min.) assist recovery & relax the body. Beginners start with light weights & work up gradually. SUPERIOR RESULTS WITH X-TRAINERS: The Tortoise & The Hare For fast, lean & shapely results, alternate The Tortoise with its companion workout, The Hare.

This review is from: The FIRM Tortoise by Anna Benson with Tracie Long & Susan Harris (DVD)

I was very disappointed, I was expecting much more from Tracie Long...
This video is OK.
The music is rather boring, it's slow, and the cardio segments on the step are very low intensity.
I couldn't get my heart rate up at all.
The lifting segments are very general, consisting of very few lunges, step ups, and curls.

I would recommend this workout for a beginner to the Firm or for pregnant women.

If you are someone who is familiar with the older Firm workouts, this probably won't do much for you either.

As a side note, The Hare is literally the same thing, it isn't any faster and it includes some general lifting segments.
