The Firm - Body Sculpting System: Total Muscle Shaping (DVD, 2004)

I am a firm believer, but I did not like this dvd. This is another workout for people who are advanced at aerobic moves. I'm not that good at it. I liked the lifting parts. The reps were low, so I could use heavier weights. The aerobic moves were above my ability, though, it definately confused my feet! I may keep practicing at it, though. I could get it someday.

I am a bonafide FIRMaholic and own about 45 FIRM dvds. I could not wait for this workout to come up in my rotation because Stephanie Huckabee is one of FIRM's best Master Instructors.

I was not dissapointed! While there are some cardio segments in this workout, the bulk of this workout is all about sculpting! Using mainly heavy and medium weights, she hits every major muscle several times, then finishes up with a nice ab segment. As always, Stephanie Huckabee uses Leg Presses and Box Climbs, adding "challenge" moves for the advanced excerciser. While this workout uses the "box" from the BSS3 system, I was able to substitute the "Transfirmer" for the box very easily.

I like utilizing the Firm box in a new way with half up and half down, adds a great dimension to your workout. The first few times it goes a little fast, so it's easy to get lost, but I'm getting the moves down and really enjoy this DVD. I love the classic series and this is similar in that it is a great workout in less time. I like that it's 50 minutes. Overall I call this Excellent, instruction is great, music is great, it's a good workout that I feel the burn.

It is a good DVD to workout with but it can be a little hard to follow the cardio parts.I have several other Frim DVD's and I just love them. I am not sure that you see results in 10 workouts but you do feel like you have worked out when you get done. Sue

i love this company and this style of exercise...it is very ultra efficient, combining both aerobic and muscle exercises in under an hour..that is why i love it...i recently UNjoined the gym because i honestly get a better workout at home with these videos, plus i wanted to save a little money. these are a little outdated compard to the 2005 version but just as good, awesome workout but you do need the box..i have the 2005 version that has two steps that make up to 14 inches just like the one they use it these videos...love them
