The Firm: Super Cardio Sculpt |
  Sneaks up on you! |
| I've had this one since 2003, have done it countless times, and just did it again tonight. What I like about it is that it starts off seemingly easy, but by the end I am always dripping with sweat. The fact that it starts out slow makes it a "no dread" workout for me -- one that I can always convince myself to do. When I'm not in the mood to work out, the thought of immediately launching into a high-intensity segment is off-putting. This one eases you into it, and then before you realize it, you're huffing and puffing and loving it! - posted by Barbara U. on 6/21/2010 |

| Complicated footwork |
| The workout starts off pretty easy, then it takes a turn for the worst. The choreography did not flow smoothly. The steps were hard to follow at certain points. Lots of constant changes with the footwork. - posted by Char on 3/1/2010 |

| Great DVD from a Great Firm Series |
| I own all the DVDs from the BSS1-BB4 systems and this particular series, the add on workouts for BSS1/BB2 are my favorite! They are short and to the point and this one is no exception. While it is not my favorite of the Add-on DVDs, it is still a great workout and gets a lot accomplished in minimal time. Lighter weights are recommended and they mostly add to the cardio effect. However if you increase the weights used slightly, you can still get some good strength out of the time used. It recommends 3 & 5 lbs dumbbells, for shoulders as it's wise to not go too heavy bc of the speed, I use 4 & 5 lbs. My max weight for this DVD is 8 lbs, which is far lower than what I use in their sculpting-only DVDs. You can also add a weighted belt and/or weighted gloves for more of a cardio burn if you don't want to add a lot of high-impact movements for various reasons. Not being a die-hard Firm Fan, I do love this DVD/series. It's not long, it's not boring, and it's easy on the joints. You can use this as a light day workout by following the beginner options and use no weights, or push yourself by increasing the weight range safely and adding ankle/wrist weights even. I love that the choreography is simple and it doesn't wear you or your brain out! I've long used Cathe and other higher intensity instructors for weights and cardio, but I've recently come back to my older, and more enjoyable workouts like these. You'll get a great workout without feeling tired or exhausted afterward. Maximum benefit and maximum results in minimal time. - posted by Julia on 8/28/2009 |

| Just what I wanted! |
| This workout is just what I was looking for. Right length, uses the fanny lifter, all cardio! I have Cardio Sculpt Blaster with Lisa Kay and Calorie Killer with Nancy Tucker as well as upper body and lower body workouts all from the same BSS1 add on series. This was the only one I did not have. I did it easily all the way thru the firsty time- familiar with all the firm moves and lingo. If you like this series you will also want this to compliment the rest of the workouts! - posted by Tracy on 6/1/2009 |

| Basic solid workout |
| This workout is pretty good, not very advanced, but if you put your "all" into it, you'll get a good enough workout. For those days when you want a shortish, solid workout, this one fits the bill. Nothing new and nothing terribly creative. - posted by Cheryl on 11/30/2008 |

| This is a new one for me. |
| I just love this workout. I did it last night after my electricity came back on. (the hurricane, you know,) I use the Transfirmer and 5-10 lb weights. The time flies. - posted by Robin on 9/7/2008 |

| I love this workout |
| This is still one of my favorite quick cardio workouts! I have done it probably at least 50 times over the past few years and I still love it. Nancy is an excellent, enjoyable instructor, the moves are varied, and its nice to do step routines with the floor moves. Without the step, floor aerobics alone can get pretty boring after a while (as in some of the newer FIRMs). The set is great for this (and the other five workouts in this series) also. I always go back to these workouts, they encompass everyhing in a short time and get my metabolism burning! - posted by Cheryl on 9/2/2008 |
