The Firm - Express Cardio (DVD, 2004)

This is a fun, intense 30 minute pure cardio workout. The choreography is varied and interesting without being overwhelming and Stephanie never asks you to do anything on the box that feels dangerous. Her cuing is excellent--I think that Stephanie does a superior job with cuing and flow in this workout. Stephanie also improves on her performances in previous Firm workouts--unlike older workouts like Super Body Sculpt, she speaks with good intonation and doesn't slip into a monotone. She stays upbeat and encouraging throughout the workout, which makes it more fun for the user.

I think this workout is hard to follow. I don't usually have trouble following a Firm workout but I had to keep going back to find out what they were doing. It is fast paced and they really don't take the time to explain a move before they do it.I think most people like to be able to do a workout without having to learn it first. Who has time to keep rewinding in order to learn it? I still have trouble with it ( after using it 3 or 4 times) but I know I will LOVE it once I catch on, hence, the Good rating. It gives me quite a sweat and it is fun when I know what I am doing! I would recommend using this DVD with the Transfirmer instead of The Firm Box because of stability problems with The Firm Box. The Transfirmer is very stable.

Great music! Fast and fun! Good variety of movements, nice fit girls that actually look like they are having fun and enjoying the workout. The instructor and some of the other girls are actually sweating. This is definately not a boring cardio workout like a lot of others out there. So far I own four of The Firm's dvd's! Love em!

This DVD is a great workout. I was sweating for the whole 30 min. The Firm Express is wonderful. If you are a beginner to the Firm this DVD is not for you. It's fast paced and you need to know the Firm moves first before trying this Express DVD. Great Workout!!!

I believe the firm workouts are good and effective but if you don't have alot of experience with a step and the termiology, I would be cautious with this workout.
Moves quickly from one new thing to the next..I am still learning.
