The Firm: Super Cardio |
  Programmable chapters! |
| Some of the workouts are hard,but get the job done. The setting and music is cheesy. But the best part by far is that you can choose up to 8 chapters to add variety to your workout. - posted by Melissa on 11/8/2009 |

| Finally a Firm with Chapters! |
| I've had this workout for years and recently picked up the DVD. If someone thought this too easy, just up the weights. I really consider it a cardio workout anyway. After the thrill of being able to jump from one segment to another (you know, like 90% of most DVDs) I just got mad! Why can't all the Firms be chaptered. - posted by Robin on 10/19/2009 |

| disappointing, but not bad |
| From the reviews I read here, I thought this would be a fabulous DVD. It wasn't. First of all, it's not an advanced workout, but rather an intermediate level. (I'm a Cathe person, and also love the old Firms, especially Variety Strength and Variety Heart.) Weights are so low as to be ineffective and my heart never really got pumping - though my heels certainly pummeled my neighbors' ceiling! It's not a bad tape, but I doubt I'll get much use out of it. - posted by Abigail on 9/27/2009 |

| Whoa! |
| I now understand why people claim to like the "older" FIRM videos better than the newer ones. I do the newer ones (starting with the BSS 1 in 2002), and consider myself in decent shape. Holy cow, I couldn't keep up, and I can see why they have the 10 workout guarantee. Once I master this one, I will be adding more of the "older" workouts into my rotation. Yes, this is a dated video, yes there are leotard clad women in the videos, and yes they can resemble the stepford wives; but I am going to look past these issues and look forward to a great workout. - posted by Chris on 8/13/2009 |

| LOVE THIS ONE! |
| I have all the new Firm cardio workouts and this oldie but goody is so fantastic! Time flew by so fast and because each instructor does various segments and workouts, you don't get bored. You do jump a lot in this one so if you don't like that, then, this one isn't for you. You use the small step of the Fanny Lifter 5lb. weights and a playground ball for various aerobic segments. The music wasn't as bad as people had said and I really enjoyed it. I can't wait to purchase some more of this series in the future! - posted by VIVIAN on 4/11/2009 |

| A Good Hard Workout |
| I did this DVD recently and boy was it hard. I was sweating buckets 10 minutes into the workout. The workout is dated but I still enjoyed it. - posted by Kenya on 3/21/2009 |

| So hard! |
| I love The Firm and this is no exception. It really is challenging, advanced exercisors only. You will totally feel like you have had a killer workout, I am dripping with sweat after this one. The variety of cardio is really nice too, hope you can keep up:) - posted by Kelley on 11/19/2008 |

| liked it but |
| I've been doing the Firm workouts for 20 years and prefer the old classics over the newer Firm videos. This one is fun and challenging, but I'm 49 and found this one to be a little hard on my ankles. - posted by liz on 11/4/2008 |

| Real kickbutt workout!!!!!!!!!! |
| I agree with some of the other reviews that Body Sculpting Basics and Super Cardio are among the toughest of the original Anna Benson Firms. I keep coming back to them time and time again, love them, and never get tired of them. Oh, and by the way, as for the instructors' personalities, they may not be cutsy and bubbly, but they're just fine! They seriously want you to get a great workout, and they do this exceptionally well. - posted by Myra on 9/30/2008 |

| All-around oldie but goodie |
| I've had this on VCR for years, and just recently resurrected. I forgot how hard it was, and I consider myself to be in pretty good shape. By the time I get to the third to last section (Jen's high impact running/knee lift/leg kick section), I, too, want to just strangle her and say, "Enough already." I'm grateful that the final two sections (while still beneficial), allow me to breathe. I like that there are 4 different instructors, who each teach 3-6 segments. I like the change. Also, I appreciate the fact that the segments are fairly short (3-6 minutes in length), which doesn't allow me to get bored. Finally, I really like the music, particularly in Dale's section. - posted by Nancy in SC on 8/17/2008 |
