Summary: Very good toning & cardio
Comment: This really is a 4 STAR. It wont let you change the number of stars you originally put in.
It's mixed with toning and cardio segments. The toning is good and easy to follow. Some of the cardio is hard to follow but I turned the volume up and it helped me to follow. The abs at the end are very good.
The cardio is fun. It takes a few time to get it, and helps just to watch it a couple of times before you do it.
I changed my original review, but I can get the stars to change to 4 instead of 3.

Summary: cuing where?
Comment: Time and time again I give this workout a try but the step always get me upset. The warm up trows my off, when she says double I don't know what I am suppose to double. The plus side is that I do sweat a lot and that we do squats and lunges. She also includes an ab section. I am very disappointed, I wish I would have saved my money for a different Firm workout.

Summary: It's great as long as you can keep up
Comment: If you know the lingo of the Firm gals and know the names of the moves, etc. then this dvd is awesome and you can feel it. If you are truly out of shape and think you can keep up with this, think again. It's hard core, I love it but I wouldn't recommend it to new exercisers.

Summary: Great All Around
Comment: This is further proof that the folks at the FIRM know how to create a soild workout. The cardio gets your heart pumping, and the sculpting moves get your muscles burning! Emily is a good intructor, she cues well. You'll need 3 sets of weights light, medium and heavy. I really like the abs moves in this one, they were challenging. I use this dvd in my rotation frequently.

Summary: Disappointing
Comment: I love the Firm, but I'm very disappointed with this and the other new Firm DVDs. Some of the four-limb segments are good, but I find the aerobics segments unnecessarily complicated and they don't even raise my heart rate. With my older Firm DVDs, I always feel like I've had a workout; with these new ones, I don't. Also, these new routines feel harder on my knees (because of twisting more than impact) and back. I have minor back problems, and I find myself modifying the moves in these new DVDs to protect my back from being strained/"put out." And I miss the fannylifter/transfirmer. I don't know if these changes are because Gaiam now owns the Firm, but I really hope they go back to the more intense, more straight forward routines. I would return this one and get my money back if I could.
