Certified instructor description: A classic Firm-style interval program with a specific focus on creating lean, strong — metabolism-increasing — muscle fiber. Alternating upper and lower-body exercises, each body part is individually targeted with a well-planned series of varied routines (e.g. toes-out squats, toes-straight-ahead squats, and one-legged squats). Rebekah Sturkie always keeps you totally focused on correct technique (“come on, let’s think about what we’re working”). The shorter between-toning aerobic segments are all athletic-style drills that build agility and power. DVD also has a 14-minute, all-cardio bonus workout. Requires 3 to 5 lb. dumbbells. ©2008.

The Firm: Get Chisel'd

Enjoyed
This video was challenging but fun at the same time. It gradually builds up in intensity and then before you know it you are done!!! Also love the add on section. - posted by Latona on 1/13/2012
The Firm " Get Chiseled"
Really good work out! The time went so fast! - posted by Pam on 11/26/2011
One of my favorite Firm videos
When I first tried this video a couple of months ago, I wasn't impressed for some reason. However, after doing this video a second time, I can definitely say that it is one of my favorite Firm videos of all time (I also really like Dangerous Curves). I think this video really focuses on the important areas for a woman: butt, legs, stomach, back, and triceps. I do believe that form is more important in this video than the typical Firm workout; perhaps that is why I didn't seem to get much out of it the first time around. Also, the warm-up is deceptively simple, but by the half-way point, I was really sweating and huffing and puffing. I highly recommend this one! - posted by ohmira on 11/25/2011
Okay... but
First, I want to say that I owe a debt of gratitude to The Firm because I developed my love of fitness and exercise because of them. I have been using them for years ever since they first came out and in my early years of exercising I enjoyed them very much. However, now that I am a more advanced exerciser I find The Firm routines a little, well, wishy-washy. I really wish the developers would take a look at some of the more challenging routines (Amy Dixon's tabata, Michelle Dozois, Patrick Gudeau, Kathi Frederich's core circuit) and develop a more advanced workout video. Having said that, however, I think The Firm dvds are good to have on those days when you don't feel so motivated. - posted by Debbie on 11/16/2011
Great Workout!
I really like this instructor and generally buy anything that she teaches and am generally not disappointed. This is no exception. From start to finish she doesn't miss an opportunity to work but yet another muscle. I've been doing Firm exercise videos for many years and always feel like I'm getting a good workout. I like the way she goes from weight work to cardio. However, I have decided that jumping inches off the ground just isn't for me, so when she starts hopping around, I just jog in place....still leaves me breathless and I think I'm saving my knees. - posted by Joanna on 10/20/2011
Challenging
I have been a Firm fan for more years than I can count and this one does not disappoint. It's tough, but thankfully is just the right amount of time so that you still have a breath left. I'm not a jumping kinda gal, so for some of the cardio segments I just ran in place...knees high....my heart was a pumping. I love the abs section. I was actually sore the next day. I highly recommend this Firm DVD. - posted by Joanna on 10/12/2011
Great overall workout
Loved this workout! I am a higher intermediate/adv exerciser, and got a terrific workout with Rebekah. I really concentrated on the parts of the body that she was working on for maximum effectiveness, and the cardio bursts really kept my heart rate up. The ab workout at the end is also great. Use weights that are appropriate for your fitness level, and you will get a great muscle toning/cardio workout! Would highly recommend! - - posted by Joyce on 9/3/2011
This is a tough one!
I love The Firm workouts. This one is great! I knew it was going to be tough, because, I was breathless after the warm up and I work out hard often. This is a good one for a day when you have over-indulged and need to burn ya some calories. Definitely more advanced than intermediate. Loved it! - posted by kelly on 8/3/2011
great workout!!
This video was kind of tough for me. I am high intermediate and it really kept my heart rate up there! It's fun and challenging. I swear I have gotten stronger using this video. Great instructor! - posted by Sherry on 7/31/2011
My favorite
I have lots of the firm videos and I have been doing them for over 20 years. Get Chisel'd is currently my favorite. If you want to tone your body and burn a little fat this one is great. I like that there is no step up box because I am 48 and my knees can't take it. But don't let my age fool you, I am 48, but because I have been doing The Firm videos for so long I can still do a bikini justice. After using this DVD I feel like my body has been worked from top to bottom. I love it. - posted by Teresa on 7/23/2011

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.
