Firm: Bootcamp Maximum Calorie Burn |
 AMAZING WORK OUT!! |
| After I tried this DVD, it immediately became my favorite! Alison is a great instructor, the music is really fun, and best of all the moves get my heart rate up and get me sweating! I would recommend this workout to anybody who wants to see results and feel energetic and great about themselves. - posted by Chantal on 5/5/2008 |

| Alison= Awesome |
| When I workout at home, I don't want easy, peasy workouts. I want workouts that gave me the most bang for my buck. This is more cardio than C+S, but IMO this is one of the tougher 'new' Firms. - posted by A on 5/4/2008 |

 One of the best! |
| I just bought this DVD and used it for the first time yesterday. I wore my heart-rate monitor to find out how hard I was working and WOW! Within the first 10 minutes, I was up to 123 and had spikes into the 150s throughout. Very challenging for this regular exerciser and former FIRM devotee who'd gotten weary of the weaker DVDs they started putting out. Another advantage to this one is that dumbells are the only equipment necessary. I'm sore today.
I took off one star for my only complaint, which is that the camera-work often doesn't line up with the instructions. For example, the instructor will change the movement and the camera will either pull in for a tight shot when you need to see the instructor's whole body OR go to the person doing the modifications when I'm trying to follow the primary instructor. This made it difficult to hit the moves correctly, and I imagine I'll just have to do it a few times before I've adjusted. - posted by Jan on 4/28/2008 |

| Loved It |
| I loved the way this workout had my abs working. I did the low impact modificatiosn and I was sweating. The cardio and resistance workout was good. The ab work and stretch is a nice end to the workout-with enough time one each. - posted by Luz on 4/27/2008 |

| Omigod! Loved it! |
| This one just kicked my butt. I was sweating within ten minutes and I definitely feel like I did something good for myself. This one is a winner. You won't be disappointed! - posted by Shannon on 4/26/2008 |

| Tougher Than I Thought |
| It's been my experience that with the latest Firm DVD's (the ones released in 2006 and 2007) have not been a tough as the previous Firm series (e.g., BSS1, BSS2, BSS3 and the Transfirmer). However, this DVD is not the case boy was I sweating buckets and alot of the moves were hard. This is definietly one of my favorites. - posted by Marie on 4/21/2008 |

| Love This One ! |
| This is a great workout that I really look forward to doing. I think Allison is fun and does a good job. And Alli's presence, as always, adds alot too. The sets of lunges in this one are fabulous and really make my butt burn (which, actually, a lot of other Firm videos do not do!). I also think the incorporation of balance moves and standing core work while sculpting legs and arms is wonderful. It makes the sculpting sections total-body and keeps my heart rate up. On the cardio side, this video is great too. Lots of variety and many new (to the Firm) moves. I am still working my way up to the double-leg jump to the plank! VERY hard!! - posted by Micah on 4/17/2008 |

| Working up a Sweat on This One |
| I work out 7 days a week with different Firm dvd's. I really enjoy them all. This one was a good addition to the serveral that I already have. I have done it now 4 or 5 times and have worked up a sweat each time. My biggest complaint is the editing. I agree with another Firm Bootcamp user that said that there is too much focus on Sue Mi who does the beginner's modificaiton. The camera zooms in on her when they are transitioning to a new move. If you are not doing the beginner's move, then you are stuck watching her and don't know what you should be doing until they have already done it 4 or 5 times when they focus on Alison again. That happens more than once but after seeing it serveral times, I am more aware of what is going on. Anyway, it is a good workout meant more for someone who has some experience working out. - posted by Ann on 4/7/2008 |

| I burned 600 calories! |
| Despite doing the beginner modifications in the cardio segments, I still burned alot of calories. I liked the choreography and love the fact that there's room to grow, in both strength training and cardio endurance. Shame on me. I had this DVD for many months before I did it last night. It'll now be in my weekly rotation. Alison, great job! - posted by Lorie on 4/4/2008 |

| Wow, what a great workout!!! |
| I love the Firm and have all of the systems and add on dvd's, but I never got around to using this one until this morning and all I can say is wow!!! This is a great kick butt workout! I plan to incorporate bootcamp in my Firm rotation and I highly recommended this one if you want to burn some serious fat. - posted by Vilma on 3/25/2008 |
