 Good cardio/ weight mix September 10, 2008
This one is a very good mix between cardio and weight training. If you like the concept of David Kirsch but find his DVD a little bit boring (or you don't have all the recommanded equipment), so this is the one for you.
This workout alternates three sections of plyometric moves (weight training plus some power moves without weights like jumped scissors or jumps combined with push-ups) and three cardio units.
The cardio units are mostly typical aerobic moves with some nice modifications (hooks, kicks and in the last one a jump called "shooting the basket"). Before the last cardio section you're almost ready to give up, but the music is so motivating and funny, that you put all your energy you have at this moment into it for this last part.
The cool down (with core training) is very good choreographed and is one flow. No hurry, no standing up, lying down and so on, just one flow.
The cuing is very good, but sometimes they're showing the beginner exercises a little bit to often.
The total length is about 50 minutes.
As equipment, you need three pairs of dumbbells.
This DVD has no indication about the region code, but works for me in my DVD player and in a Playstation 2 for Europe.
Alison really works you out!! September 1, 2008
I didn't think this dvd was going to be this tough. But, I must say that I have gotten a very good workout from all of the dvd's Alison leads on. Whenever i see her leading the dvd I will but it because she always makes me sweat and gives me a good workout. Would reccomend to people to try you will get a good workout.
Actually harder than I thought... July 30, 2008

I have to admit that I didn't think this work out would be that tough. Don't be fooled by the southern girl charm like I was! This instructor will work you out. The mix of plyometric and cardio drills was enough to get me sweating about five minutes into the routine. All you need is two sets of dumb bells. I love that it was tough and to the point. I wouldn't recommend this one to a beginner. I consider myself a very solid intermediate and I struggled at times. I plan to use this DVD about twice a week now that I know how challenging it is..and I will never again judge a work out by its cover :)
Outstanding At-Home Workout July 16, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I love this video so much; it's easily my favorite at-home workout DVD! It's an intense workout...all these people who are saying it's good for beginners are CRAZY. In fact, I would tell anyone starting this video to start out with only very light weights (or none at all). I'm in very good shape (I work out 1-2 hours every day), and this video is a challenge. When I first started it, it would leave me so sore that I'd have to avoid working out for 2-3 days after (I was using weights heavier than I should have used). Since I've started using lighter weights, it doesn't leave me crazy-sore the next day, but I can definitely feel it in my muscles. The combination of weights and cardio bursts is great- my heart rate stays up the whole time, and I sweat like nuts! I think this is especially good for toning lower body problem areas- the hips, [...], and inner and outer thighs. But there is a lot of upper body work too, so just up the weight if you're looking to tone more of your upper body.
Again- I can't recommend this enough! Perfect for when you can't make it to the gym or the weather isn't good enough to go for a run.
Makes you sweat- but not hard to do! July 14, 2008
I have been using the Firm workouts for a few months now, combined with Weight Watchers. I have lost 25 lbs in 4 months thanks to the Firm! This video can be challenging at times, and can't help but laugh at Soon-Mi's funny faces! The accents are in all the Firm workouts because it is based out of I think Lexington. The plyometric sections are tough- and I count down until the 3 sections are done! But when you do this a few times a week, and alternate with other workouts it is good.
