The Firm: Total-Body Shaping Mix |
 LOVE THIS! Like the original FIRM! |
| I started working out to the Firm volume 1. Body Sculpting Basics and I also have Volume 3. 4 also for shorter easier days and I love those! Challenging and interesting. I have never bored of them in 20 yrs! (I Hated 2 and 5, seemed to much more beginner tapes. I have tried some other tapes searching for the next level or at least as challenging. I had to give away several videos since I found weak comparisons. I was very excited to find this Tracy Long video! It reminds me of the original Firms in intensity etc.! I couldn't be happier. It keeps my heart rate up and uses the high step (I use a 10 inch box and it works just fine and I am tall) When I do this one I say "YES! This is what I'm talking about! The original Firms they are the best." The warmup is weak and one cardio section with Dale is too but that is small potatoes. Ab section is good though. I also like Cathe's Boot camp and Patrick's Dumb training, that one's a bit easier but up the weights it keeps the heart rate up and I can feel it the next day! - posted by Janet on 7/3/2009 |

| The BEST LONG Firm TOTAL BODY compilation workout |
| I did this workout yesterday for the first time in about 3 years and it was fantastic! Because I've been doing cardio lately, the cardio segments with the "newer" instructors (Jennifer Carman and Allie Strickland) that were offputting to me years ago (as there is nothing like them in the classic Firm (Volumes 1-6) workouts) are enjoyable to me now. It is 67 minutes of sheer sweat-producing moves that work out your entire body. Firm total body compilation perfection! (Note: If you don't mind the Firm full body compilation workouts and don't have 67 minutes to workout, I suggest either of the two short Firm 3-in-1 Bootcamp workouts--one is about 37 minutes and one is about 42 minutes, and both include cardio segments using a medicine ball. The "third" workout, at 71 minutes, is a combination of the two shorter workouts. However, if you're interested in a longer total body Firm compilation workout, I think that you'd be better off purchasing this 67-minute workout.) - posted by Joy on 7/21/2008 |

| Quick, Sculpting tape |
| I find this is a good tape that covers all the bases in a short amount of time- if that's what you're looking for this is the tape for you. Tracie Long is one of the best, most accurate, and safest instructors around. - posted by Christine on 1/27/2008 |

| A great overall workout |
| With this workout, you get a good balance of tall box moves, interval training (plyo jumps), heavy weight exercises, and ab work. An enjoyable and compact workout that leaves you well worked out without wearing you out. Highly recommend. - posted by Joy on 1/11/2008 |

 Too many pauses |
| I'm a big Firm fan, but this workout just doesn't do it for me. The weight training sections were too slow for me -- I like the Firm videos that keep a high level of activity, even when the weights are used, so that my aerobic level stays high. With this one, the segments felt too choppy and I kept losing my target heart rate. I know others really like it -- this type of workout just doesn't work for me, so I thought I would mention it for others out there like me. - posted by Dorine on 7/31/2007 |

| THE FIRM needs new moves |
| I love The Firm workouts but now when I buy a new workout, it is a clip off an older tape. They need new and refreshing moves and without new equipment. I use my own arm movements while doing lunges and climbing the fanny lifter so I get a total body workout. - posted by Margo on 7/12/2007 |

| The BEST!!! |
| I have several of the Firm workouts from old to new. I enjoy them all but this one is the BEST!!! I never get bored (oddly enough because I have all the workouts that compile this one). Hits all areas and is challenging. If I could only have one Firm workout, this would be the one I'd have. - posted by Carmen M. on 5/11/2006 |

| Seriously, the best |
| If you only buy one Firm video, this is the one. - posted by KPW on 10/17/2005 |

| YOU GOTTA PICK THIS ONE! |
| This is a SUPER Firm Tape! One of my favs...I thought Tough Tape 2 was tough...this is the ultimate, but not so hard that you get discouraged. A great workout, it's got everything...aerobics, abs, weights, lunges. I'm dripping with sweat when I'm done with this one! You don't get bored with this--love those plyometric jumps!! I don't even have a Fanny lifter, just a regular step and I'm so SORE the next day! Between this tape, and Karen Voight tapes, and running, I'm not bored at all! This one is a WINNER!! - posted by Rachel on 10/14/2004 |
