The Firm: Total Body Fat Blaster |
  Old but good |
| Allie always leads a good workout. This is a bit dated, but sometimes it's nice to be taken back a few years to the "good old days" of aerobics. It's a nice addition to my Firm collection. - posted by Amy on 5/24/2010 |

| Long time favorite! |
| I have had this workout (on VHS!) since it was first released in 1998. Twelve years later, it is still one of my favorite workouts! I do wish the DVD was chaptered, though. I often repeat certain segments, or the entire cardio portion, to make the workout an hour long. The choreography is not tricky, but interesting enough to keep you from getting bored. Like all Firm cardio workouts, this is comprised of 3-5 minute segments, rather than one long cardio routine. I prefer this, as it keeps my interest up and keeps my heartrate up even while it recovers from the plyometric segments. - posted by Jane on 4/2/2010 |

| Oldie but a Goodie |
| I really like this workout. IT is dated yes. I know a lot of people have a hard time looking past that but the workout itself is good. It uses basic moves to give a really good workout. It is not a hard core full out workout but it will get your heart pumping. - posted by Amanda on 3/21/2010 |

| A little dated but a favorite |
| This is from 1998, but it's still a very good and fun workout. It's not super-intense, but it's great for intermediate days when you just want your workout to be done and not drag on with boring music and moves. Very good cuing and music, lots of variety. Much better than the new Frim releases. - posted by Letitia on 6/20/2009 |

| Good, Fun Cardio |
| I'm just getting back into serious exercising and am sticking with the Firm since I've always had good results with them. I was a little unsure about this workout because of its so-so reviews and rating. I've done it a few times, and I really like it. It's great for me cardio-wise, I'm able to maintain my mid target (keep in mind, I'm still just at low intermediate)through the aerobic section which is just what I want a couple of times a week. Not much toning, but that's not what I use it for. I will admit that it seems dated, but that didn't make it any less fun. This is a good workout for me. - posted by Leslie on 7/10/2008 |

| Dated Workout |
| I really like Allie DelRio and was excited to own another video in which she was the instructor. I was very disapointed when I did this workout. The moves are dated and the workout had more high impact "Jane Fonda era" aerobics than I expected. The DVD Package Design is from 2003, but I am certain this workout was filmed prior to that. I love The Firm, but I will definitely not do this workout again - particularly when there are so many current, and better videos from which to chose. - posted by Shari on 2/25/2008 |

| Beginner level |
| It's a good video, well cued and fun choreography, but it isn't an Intermediate level work out. Better for beginners. - posted by Kris on 1/29/2008 |

| FUN AND EFFECTIVE |
| this is one of my favorite firm workouts. i enjoy the moves that are implemented as you work on different areas ranging from cardio to toning and you do have fun. the best segment for me is the back exercises done with the step and the ab work. you can feel how it works your body and you get to chose the intensity on each move - posted by HELEN on 1/6/2008 |

| Nice workout! |
| This is a good cardio workout. It doesn't include as much toning as most Firm workouts do, and you can use light weights. There's a good variety of cardio segments: jumping jacks, hops, plyo-jumps, low-step, high-step combos, etc. The choreography on the step portions still trips me up a bit after doing the workout a dozen or so times. I like the back exercises at the end, which most workouts don't give you. The abs workout is unusual and tough. Very nice workout all around. - posted by Lilly on 8/28/2007 |

| Too Much Fun |
| This is the only FIRM I own prier to the year 2000 that I can actually do. It is fun and I love the leads. I am glad that I bought this DVD. It works me out in ways that I need to be worked. It kicks my butt from start to finish! - posted by Emily on 3/19/2007 |
