Certified instructor description: Focused body-sculpting routines featuring an endless variety of lower-body toning moves. You get three full “giant sets” including extensive hips/thighs-focused toning (lots of lunges) and ab floorwork. You can target just your lower body with this video or get a total-body workout by alternating this video with the Firm’s Upper Body Split (their complementary routines work different muscles so you don’t overtrain any one group). You even get a cardio benefit during the toning segments — this program raises your heart rate with lots of fast-paced squats and lunges. Created from previous Firm videos, you’ll work out with nine different instructors on several different sets. Requires at least two sets of dumbbells and a step. A 14" tall step box, 3 to 5 lb. ankle weights and a medicine ball are optional. ©1999. DVD has: Chapter menus, Narrow screen.

The Firm: Lower Body Split

Love this workout!
This is one of my favorite lower body workouts! When you want to focus on sculpting the lower body, but want some great cardio too, this workout is perfect. I LOVE it! - posted by Robin on 10/5/2007
Don't bother
This video does not have comtemporay music or instuructors. I felt like I was working out in a musueum. A lot of equipment is required and they are changed out too much. It did work my glutes, but I would like something more recent to work these areas. Statues everywhere and sweat, just don't mix. - posted by lisa on 7/19/2007

Good Old Firm!
I'm an original Firmie going back to the 80's, and have been replacing my old VHS tapes with DVD versions when available. This workout, along with Upper Body Split, remind me how great the original Firm was - even though I'm a Cathe devotee now, it's really nice to have these old Firm workouts on DVD to do periodically. I'll never understand why they changed a good thing... - posted by Sally on 3/18/2007
Tough - Advanced - Effective
For anyone who wants a top notch, advanced and effective lower body work out - this is the tape for you. For anyone who can't afford a personal trainer, but wants to work HARD - this is the tape for you. Yes, some have complained that the workout is too long (70 Minutes), but is that too long to commit to sculpting beautiful strong legs and buns One caution, this workout is not for beginners, but for intermediate and advanced excercisers who are looking for an excellent lower body workout. you will not be disappointed. - posted by Cheryl on 8/21/2006
An effective workout
I find this to be a long but effective video. If you want something to change your lower body this is it. - posted by nada on 6/19/2006
Oh My Gosh
I have to say, IT WILL KICK YOUR BUTT..Yes, it may be a little long, but you can go to the segment you want. What a great work out for your bottom half - posted by Tiffiney H on 6/14/2006
Super Compilation
This was one of my very first FIRM dvds and I still love it. According to Video Fitness, the segments are plucked from "Cardio Burn, Maximum Cardio, Power Cardio, FIRM Cardio, FIRM Strength, The Hare, Fat Blaster, Maximum Body Sculpting, and Better Body & Buns." My favourite segments are the sets taken from Cardio Burn (lunges and plie squats) and Better Body & Buns (leg presses, tall box climbs, hover squats, lunges, squats w/ leg abduction, dips). The only thing I would ask for is more leg presses and less lunges. I guess I'm a glutton for punishment ;-) All in all, this is a wonderful lower body workout, with a warm up, stretch, short cardio segments, both standing leg and floor work, and final stretch. There are also ab segments taken from Power Cardio, Fat Blaster and Maximum Cardio. You will need a tall box and several sets of weights; they also use a barbell, med ball and dowel, but I sub all of these with free weights. Ciao & Enjoy! :-) - posted by redwizard on 3/12/2006
Holy Smokes!
This is a parts workout compiled from a bunch of the (pre-Goodtimes) Firm workouts and it is intense, to say the least! Part of the intensty stems from the fact that it is 70 minutes long and part of it stems from the fact that the parts they chose to edit into this workout are very challenging. Make no mistake, you will see results with this workout really quickly -- I noticed impressive results after doing it only three times. I would not recommend this for beginners because it demands some degree of stamina. I do like it better than "Standing Legs" -- it just seems more "do-able" for some reason, definitely more fun. - posted by Amy on 6/28/2005

Reading a Time Graph
X
Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.
sample time graph
Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
