VHS Movie Reviews of The Firm - Firm Parts 4 Pack [VHS]Movie Review: Give it a chance Summary: 5 StarsOnce you get past the music and the breathy instructors, these are great videos. I really like the upper body sculpting.
Movie Review: Kind of dated but still excellent! Summary: 4 StarsI have a newer version of the FIRM that was produced in 2003 and I ordered this set out of curiosity and from reading so many postiive reviews to see how much the system has evolved from previous editions. I also wanted to add a little variety as I was starting to get sick of using the same 3 Firm tapes over and over. At first I had to laugh at the cheesy music (it's bad, but not distracting) and the crazy-80's outfits of the models. They are all so thin and willowy they don't even look like they should have any muscles. However, like another reviewer said, "exercise is exercise," and these tapes definitely deliver. I really appreciate the simplicity of (most) the moves and the excellent cuing of the instructors. I have only been exercising consistently a little over one month, so I can't do everything on these tapes yet. But they are definitely fun and and my muscles are sore the following day. When doing the Upperbody workout tape, I do find myself modifying some of the moves between working the biceps and the tricepts. I just find that doing these two exercises separately instead of blending together works better for me. I don't have any real complaints about this workout except I don't really sweat that much when doing it; this may be an indication that I need to increase my weight. I love the back exercises and they are done in excellent form that is very comfortable and effective for me.
The Standing Legs tape leaves me sweaty and exhausted but it is still my favorite tape of this 4 pack. Overall, I'm very happy with this set. One thing I find especially useful on these tapes is the attention and time given to proper stretching, warm-up and cool down. The more modern Firm tapes seem to compromise this area. Since using these tapes, I find that my lower back doesn't ache as much and that my balance has improved. The Abs tape is my least favorite, just because my abs are my least favorite exercise to do. I haven't found an abs tape that I like anyway. I'm sure it will take many, many more sessions to become what you would call "buffed," but I definitely feel the difference in just one month. I have so much more energy and sleep better. And yes my clothes have started to fit much looser which is a much appreciated benefit!
Movie Review: Tough and refreshing Summary: 5 StarsI love the FIRM but I like FIRM classic the best. Since i didn't have the cash to buy all the individual volumes yet i bought the Four pack to get a good mix of the classic tapes. Tough Tape 2 is exactly that TOUGH. I was sweating and moving and truly felt like i was building muscle.5 Day Abs is a love of my life because iuse dit in high school and it got me flat for prom so it is a staple in my workout. Upper Body was a Killer! i love the movements and i was sore for two days b/c i used new weights and went heavy but my arms and shoulders look great for it. Standing legs is another killer which will leave you tired and exhilerated all at the same time. I love a lower body challenge and that's what it gave me. You will need a few peices of equiptment but they are written on the back of each tape with this set so you can prepare. A step, a Dowel or weighted bar, free weights in varying poundage, a mat, towel (cause you will sweat) and plenty of water. Have fun, exercise and love your body.
Movie Review: SUPER FAST GREAT SERVICE Summary: 5 StarsI ordered this on Friday and received it on Monday.. very prompt.. thank you so much..
Movie Review: Really tough Summary: 4 StarsI first started this workout after having my 2nd son. It is really tough!I like the excercises,and after a few months of doing it was able to get through the whole tape. The tough tape 2 is nice because it covers everything. The standing legs is a killer! I had results with in a couple weeks. Everything was firmer like the name "the firm", but I am very slow to loose any weight. Overall it's good for firming up, but not for weightloss.
