The Firm: PowerBurn 45 |
  Too dance-focused for me |
| While I have only done two of the three sessions, it is a bit more dance-like than I expected. I was under the impression there was one dance session and two cardio/toning sessions, but they are all dance-focused. Not really my cup of tea. I have other Firm videos that I love, but this one is not my style. - posted by Barb on 2/17/2012 |

| Good workout |
| I like this video and if you don't have the cardio express video worth buying. My disappointment is I had the previous video and felt I nearly bought the same thing twice. - posted by Paula on 9/28/2011 |

| Disappointing |
| I have been a Firm believer for years, but this one was repetitious and boring. Generally these DVDs are varied and fast paced, however PowerBurn 45 is minutes of the same thing. I will do my other 20+ DVDs before I do this one again. - posted by Joanna on 7/14/2011 |

| Good Variety |
| Having the variety of 3 workouts was nice. Cardio inferno is my favorite for a lighter workout day. If you have knee problems the other 2 workouts are not as good. - posted by Stacey on 3/20/2011 |

| Like the variety |
| Overall I liked this video. Has 3 very different workouts that get my heart rate up, though I use them on my lighter workout days. The cuing for Cardio Inferno was difficult at times and hard to get some of the steps right. I really liked the Fat Burning workout the best, works my whole body and a bit more intense that the Cario Inferno. - posted by Anne on 2/24/2011 |

| Best of the Combos So Far |
| PowerBurn 45 is by far the best (and most used) of the recent Firm Combo DVDs they have put out. I know some reviewers were upset in seeing that these were older titles just compiled into one DVD, but for those newer to The Firm that did not have these DVDs already, it made for an unbelievable savings. Ultimate Fat-Burning WO was a great cardio-strength 40 minute workout. Good cuing and some tougher-than-expected segments from Alison. Allie's Cardio Dance Slim Down is easy (IMHO) but can easily be upped to a higher intensity with jumps and light handweights. I really enjoy this workout when I modify it to a higher level. Cardio Inferno, however, was my surprise favorite. I have been less-than-impressed with Sue Mi in other videos but she does a nice job here and the intensity of the cardio segments was much higher than I anticipated. Overall, a great deal for the price. I use all three of these in my rotation frequently (with the add on's to Allies as explained above). I am in my early 30's, a mom of 3, and work out with The Firm 6 days a week. - posted by Shannon on 2/23/2011 |

| A great value! |
| This DVD is a great value. All three workouts are fun and effective, but the Ultimate Fat Burning Workout alone would have been worth the price of the DVD. It has become my favorite workout in my collection. It makes me sweat like crazy, but the routines are really fun, too. Just when I am running out of steam, another segment starts, and I find myself excited to keep going. As for the Cardio Dance Slim Down with Allie, it is a little on the easy side. But the routines are fun and "dancy." It will be great for one of those days when I am not motivated to workout or feeling tired. Cardio Inferno was surprisingly challenging. It kicked my butt! I had read some negative reviews about Su Mi's cuing abilities, but I thought she did fine. It was a great, shorter workout. - posted by Stephanie on 2/17/2011 |

| It's a keeper!! |
| This is a great workout and its definitely worth the money. Of the three I have only done Alison's Ultimate Fat Burning Workout. I couldn't believe that the time had gone by so fast. I didn't feel like I was too winded or that I wasn't getting a workout. It was "just right" :) I was sore the next day which is a great sign. If you need more of a challenge just increase your weights. Can't wait to try the other two workouts, but every time I put this in I just want to do Alison's. She is a great instructor! You will be pleased. - posted by Tommi on 2/17/2011 |

| Love It |
| I absolutely love all three work-outs on this DVD. I didn't think I'd like the dance segment but it was a lot of fun and I had a good work-out even though it was the first time I tried it. It's difficult to find low-impact work-outs that are not for beginners, but this one has it all. Well worth it. - posted by Dorene on 2/17/2011 |

| Love this video |
| It has three different sections. I have not had a chance to try the third one yet, but if it is anything like the other two, I will love it! The workout is great and the steps are not hard to follow due the people who are guiding you. Thanks so much for a great workout! - posted by vicki on 12/23/2010 |
