Certified instructor description: Great production quality and an enormous variety of challenging moves. You’ll sculpt your body with an always-changing medley of everything from classic dumbbell routines to high-intensity plyometrics (quick, high jumps that uniquely focus on the too-often-neglected “fast twitch” muscle fibers). Beautifully filmed on the Firm’s elegant mansion set, it features upbeat jazz-type instrumental music. This is a comprehensive, well-balanced workout that systematically blends seated, lying and standing moves. You’ll carefully shape every muscle by precisely varying the equipment and body position for maximum results. Tracie Long, a Firm Master Instructor, demonstrates superb pacing and very clear cuing (even occasionally showing the incorrect form so you can see errors to avoid). At least two sets of 3 to 15 lb. dumbbells, a workout dowel and a step-bench are required (they use a 14" high box; a regular step will work). 2 to 5 lb. ankle weights are suggested. ©1998.

The Firm: Maximum Body Shaping |
| A Solid Workout |
| I was pleased to purchase this title in DVD format. I've had the VHS format for years and I've worn it out because it is one of my favorite workouts. It is definitely in the intermediate/advanced range of Firm routines. It is challenging but in only 45 minutes you work every muscle group. I particularly appreciate the step work. There is only one brief cardio segment in between some tough muscle work. Tracie is an excellent instructor who is upbeat and encouraging. She explains the moves and cues you in advance of changes. - posted by Kathy on 5/18/2012 |

| One of my favorites! |
| I still love my Firm DVD with Susan Harris, but do get bored easily and this is my 2nd favorite. I received good results from both and because I continue with these, I've been able to maintain my weight and size. - posted by Jessica on 5/12/2012 |

| A Firm weight classic! |
| I think that this is one of the last from the Firm when it was still owned by the Benson sisters. If you're looking for a good, solid weight workout (no cardio), MBS is the way to go. Surprisingly tough, considering its length, you've got plenty of "tall-box" presses to get your bum in shape, Tracie's excellent instruction, classic music, a great set and wonderful photography. Stands up to the test of time. - posted by Pamela on 5/5/2012 |

| Effective Workout!!!!!! |
| This is a good video on days you want an effective workout but do not want to jump around.......Works every part of the body!!! - posted by Cheryl on 4/12/2012 |

| This is a Great Workout |
| This may be an oldie in the Firm series, but it is a great weight workout, and that 14' box does wonders for the glutes. Frankly I find the older Firm workouts better than the newer ones. Tracie is very clear with her instructions. Highly recommend this DVD. - posted by Lynne on 3/29/2012 |

| Oldie but Goody |
| I normally work out with Cathe, Paul Katami, Michelle Dozois, and Kelly Coffey to name a few, and in general find Firm workouts a bit robotic, sometimes cheesy, but this one is worth having. It is a well-rounded total body weight lifting workout with just a little cardio in-between to mix it up in a reasonable amount of time. Tracy does a fantastic job cueing. It's dated with the Firm's mansion set and mostly classical music, as well as 90s style workout clothes, but after you get started it doesn't matter because the workout is just great. - posted by holly on 3/24/2012 |

 good soild workout |
| This is a good solid workout. Tracie Long is one of my favorite instructors. This workout takes care of your entire body. Back, arms, legs and abs. There are no tricky dance combinations. You need a few sets of dumbbells and a step up box. The only negative is the soundtrack, it just doesn't flow with the workout. - posted by teresa on 3/24/2012 |

| Loved It! |
| I have several Firm videos that are great workouts and this is another one. I've only done this video 1 time but I was breathing hard and Tracie Long is a wonderful instructor. She makes it look so easy but it's tough. LOVED IT!! - posted by Carrie on 3/4/2012 |

| Great workout for all levels |
| Great mix of moves, pacing, variety, along with safe and easy to follow footwork. Easy to adapt to user's fitness or energy level, though this may require more equipment than you already have on hand. Tracie Long's cuing is excellent and includes lots of hints on how to get the most out of a move, for example, by paying attention to posture. - posted by Letty on 2/23/2012 |
