Time graph for Firm: Bootcamp Maximum Calorie Burn
Lots of tempo variations and a huge variety of movements (from kickbox and plyometrics to legendary Firm favorites like “four limb” and aerobics-blended-with-dumbbell-toning). Even the “feel” is classic Firm — the quick-changing moves are well-planned and the cuing is super-precise (Alison Davis makes sure you’re constantly focused on proper technique). The cardio features both dance-aerobic and athletic-style movements. The toning includes traditional weight training, functional fitness and multi-muscle exercises. Also, many segments intermix the cardio and toning for maximum time-efficiency. Requires two sets of dumbbells (e.g. 2 lb. and 5 lb.). ©2007.

Firm: Bootcamp Maximum Calorie Burn

Wow!
This workout gets my heart rate soaring! I sweat every time! Great combo of cardio and sculpting. I love Alison, too. Try this for a cardio blast! - posted by Jessica on 12/26/2009
A calorie burning inferno for me
This is a new work out for me, but I've done it a couple of times and it whips me. I think because it has so much plyo in it which I find the hardest of all. I'm absolutely amazed at the people who say it doesn't get their heart rate up. I had to modify and drop down on some of the plyo. I'm a solid intermediate exerciser and I can do the FIrm's 500 calorie burn, no problem. While some here feel that's a harder work out, I have to say this one is harder for me. I look forward to conquering it, although I'm not sure I'll ever do all the plyo, as my knees don't like it. She does at least two sets of each plyo move so I think my program will be to do plyo the first set and move down to the modification on the second. I used 5 and 8 lb weights and this worked fine. For some of the weight moves I think you must be very sure you're strong enough to up the weights from there. Some have said some of the weighted moves were awkward but I think that may be the result of using too much weight for them. I have encountered some of these moves in other videos and as long as you don't overdue on the weights to me they don't feel awkward. I will probably do this workout at least once a week for awhile as you can almost feel the calories burning. One more note---while many in the reviews on this board say they like the old Firm videos better, I'm the voice for the other side. I have all the old Firm videos, and compared to the new firms they are so stuffy, slow moving and boring to me. I can't do them anymore because just looking at their covers induces a dread factor in me. I admit they had some tougher and longer muscle toning segments, but I use other videos now for stronger muscle toning emphasis. The "Pink" firms fly by for me, no dread factor. I love 'em. - posted by Ruby on 11/14/2009
Does The Job!
I've had this workout for over a year now and I continue to keep it in the rotation because it never fails to get my heart rate up and keep it there. Alison is one of my favorite instructors because she is not overly perky and has a more laid-back attitude. However, this workout is not laid back and still kicks my butt every time. The plyo sets are killer, and even the weight lifting parts incorporates the four-limb movements that keep your heart rate sky-high. This one is a winner. - posted by Brittany on 11/11/2009
GOOD WORKOUT TO HAVE

Work and Play
This workout is a little different because it alternates Plyometric Sections with Cardio Sections though the Plyo sections are really toning with a few plyo moves. With the Plyo(toning) sections compound moves makes them more effective and as always, heavier weights will make the workout harder. It has your typical bootcamp moves with a little Firm variety. I'm not a huge fan of bootcamp workouts which is why I must need them! But the hard work is incorporated with some creative fun moves. The last cardio section was fun, almost a cool down and then the workout ends with some standing ab work and then floor ab work. The instruction was good, I think everyone likes Alison. The music was pretty good, I like the last cardio song, kind of a fun 70's feel. I feel well worked out afterwards but not exhausted. - posted by Carrie on 9/6/2009
Decent workout!
I needed a mid-length interval video that would get my heart rate up quickly and keep it up. I am pretty pleased! Mostly my heart rate is in the high 120's, sometimes 130's and occasionally moves into the anerobic zone. There is no dread factor whatsoever! Alison makes this very enjoyable and the time flies by! I feel like I have had a good workout when I am finished. I have been using 8 lbs and I think I may need to increase that. This is one of my most used videos when I don't want to get out the hour long advanced ones. - posted by Janet on 8/27/2009
MY FAVORITE!
This is an excellent all around workout. I love Allison Davis and her cues are well done. This workout is a little on the intermediate side and in some places advanced. You will work up a sweat! - posted by JILL on 8/14/2009
Great cardio
For people like me who love weightlifting and stretching but hate cardio, this is a good one to make you get your cardio in. I thought Alison was awesome in this workout. Good music too. The only reason I didn't give it five stars was that I thought some of the weight work was awkward. - posted by Barbara on 7/31/2009
EH IT'S ALL GOOD
I really am struggling with the rating inter/advan…I want to rate it intermediate only…all in all I really feel like I get a good hardy workout but not at the advance level…I love the plyometrics, & all the cardio workouts but would have to agree the weights are somewhat odd…over all I feel this one is a good one to have in a collection - posted by DAPHNE on 7/16/2009
Great workout! Get it!
I really enjoy doing this workout, the time goes by fast, especially considering this is one of the longer firm videos. There is a lot of cardio packed in; it has three cardio segments as well as plyometrics mixed into the sculpting. So this is a great workout for days that you really want to get your heart rate up and keep it up. Although the sculpting is definitely there, too, just not as much as the cardio. I always feel really well worked after this one!! - posted by Soledad on 5/8/2009

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.
sample time graph
Level
X
Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact
X
Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography
X
Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis
X
Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Floor aerobics & toning
X
Definition: Includes two workout activities. The aerobics segments are fast-paced standing movements like marching, dancing and jumping. These segments require no equipment. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against a resistance. These may include Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: The combination of both activities provides a balanced workout. The aerobics burns calories, strengthens your heart and increases stamina. The toning builds lean muscles, increases your metabolism and makes everyday activities easier.
