Truly enjoyable workout

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a truly enjoyable workout. I really liked it a lot. When I was done I went on to do an ab workout. You sweat, but its not that hard. You can increase the difficulty to your level, so that's why I gave it 5 stars. Plus I want to do it again, which is always a good sign! I am glad I bought the Box, (or whatever they call this thing) I have the Fanny Lifter and debated if I should get the new device or not. Now I have the incline, and the next day I felt muscles deeep inside I didn't even know I existed!

If you are advanced or even intermediate, you will probably want to do another tape targeting a specific body part, like abs, arms or whatever. But your butt will be looking hot after this one!

Stephanie Huckabee is very pleasant. She's simply instructing well, there's no "whooohoos" or other corny remarks. Just business, yet upbeat and inspiring. If you don't like an instructor, you're simply not going to like the tape. Her personality is likeable and unobtrusive.

The only negative is that there was no ab section, and I would have liked more weights. The whole FIRM series was based on the combo of cardio with weights, so it seems they've moved away from the "founding fathers".

Still, I love FIRM videos in general, and hope they'll up the ampage again with the workouts and also, more importantly, improve the technology. They have to include chapters to navigating their DVDs. Menu, chapters, navigation! Come'on guys!!! You can do it! (heh)

ps- if anyone has any ab specific DVDs that they love, let me know. Or other cross trainer type DVDs... I want to try some others if the Firm is going to slack off."
