The Firm - Cardio Sculpt (DVD, 2003)

I have used the Firm Video series for years and when I have done their workouts 3-4 times a week, I always lost weight and saw visible results, as they promise. They are exteremly convenient as you can do the workouts in your own home at any time. No gym required! I also love how the workouts are structured, pairing a weight bearing exercise usually followed by a cardio sequence. It really keeps your heartrate up burning more calories and gives you a cardio workout for your heart while strengthening your muscles at the same time. I needed to purchase this DVD version of the 3 pack Firm series because the age of VMS is over and I want to start building my workout DVD collection. I have no dislikes about these DVD's; all 3 are awesome! I recommend these Firm DVD's to anyone that asks!

I already had this video on VHS and had to get it on DVD so that I could exercise in different rooms. It is a fun work out video! The instructor, Allie, is really good and she is easy to follow. The video really works and you can see results in less than 10 workouts! They aren't lying!!

The Firm videos....really any of them really do the job. I don't always like the workouts, usually don't love the music, but the box says guaranteed visible results in 10 workouts or less, and it's true, I see results after doing their videos once or twice.....they are the leaders in cross training with weights from way back when everyone else was just doing aerobics. They are always on the cutting edge, and the workouts are excellent....they also have others in the video doing multi-level workouts, so you can start in whatever shape you are in, from beginner to advanced.

I've used this video for about 3 weeks and I really like it. I'm already seeing results. The cardio sculpt is strenuous, but I break it up into two workouts (and do it a bit more often) and it is just right. The use of the step up boxes are very effective, but it seems that if you are not careful you can slip. All in all a good workout, hard, but you can modify easily for your level.

I have been a die-hard Firmie for approximately 10 years now. Because of this reason, several of my VHS tapes have been replaced with DVDs and scratched DVDs have been replaced with new ones. This was the case with Cardio Sculpt. Allie is my favorite Firm instructor and I will continue to buy her workouts individually and in duplicate.
