The Firm: Total Body Time Crunch |
  I really liked this workout but... |
| This easily deserves 4 stars but why not 5? Well, the "moderate" level choreography was a bit hard for people such as myself that have two left feet and need slower cueing to get it. Apparently, I'm not the only one. The aerobics moves are hard for those of us who are uncoordinated and then it's "let's add on" and you're thinking "oh geez, I still haven't gotten this down". But that said, I found that following along as much as I could did the trick and, like anything else, the more you do it, the more you learn the moves. I even substituted similar moves that weren't as complicated so that I didn't end up tripping over myself. But there ends what I found bad about it. The rest is lovely. Rebekah is an excellent instructor and very motivating. She flows through the workout gracefully. The strength portion is great and I love the 3-in-1 combos...all-in-all, this will have me looking to grow my firm collection. - posted by Julian F on 5/13/2008 |

| Time well spent |
| I really liked this workout. For me it was just the right length. You get a solid cardio/sculpt workout without feeling completely drained. The sculpting sections move slowly enough that it's easy to heavy up on if you want. I like the express option; but was slightly disappointed in the express workout. It was mainly sculpting & very little cardio. I would have liked to have seen a better balance of the two. Four stars is because of Annie. Her moves are very stiff; but what bothers me is that she rarely goes through a full range of motion. This will drive intermediate/advanced exercisers crazy & is a poor example for beginners to see. It's a good thing she's not the beginner's modifier cast member. This will get your heartrate up & you'll be pleased with the overall workout you get from this one. - posted by Carol on 5/1/2008 |

| Great workout! |
| All I can say is WOW! The corkscrew move is truly amazing. Simple moves that are very effective. There is also an option on the DVD menu to review all of the combination moves so that you can follow along with the fast paced exercise easier. The 25 minute express workout is excellent as well. - posted by April on 4/30/2008 |

| Fun Workout |
| I received several workout videos for Christmas. This one is my favorite. The instructor is smooth and keeps the workout moving along. I like the fact that she alternates aerobic and weight sculpting. The music is motivating. I am 53 years old, so it took me several times to get the routine down. But now that I got it, I really enjoy it. Good workout! - posted by Lorna on 4/28/2008 |

| Worst Firm DVD Ever! |
| This is the most confusing Firm I've ever done. I had to stop and start it so many times I finally just gave up after 25 minutes. The cueing and moves are thrown at you so quickly you never get the sequence down before she moves onto something else. Don't bother with this one. - posted by Nancy on 4/21/2008 |

| Great workout...great results! |
| Love the Firm workouts, especially the Classic ones and was kind of hesitant to buy the newer workouts (like this one)...glad I bought it. Great workout, heart rate stays up, Rebekah has good cueing and love the music. I would say this is an Intermediate workout if you are used to the Firm tapes. I have lost alot of inches and gained great muscle defintion! Highly recommed this workout. - posted by Shannon on 4/19/2008 |

| Really Fun!! |
| I have been doing The Firm for years and I really like this video! (just did it yesterday) I think Rebecca is a good instructer with an enjoyable personality who makes the video very fun. I like watching Emily too, she adds a lot of energy to the set even though she is only doing the beginner variations. I think the choreography is great, I really like the multi-purpose, 3-in-1 moves. These really kept my heartrate up during the sculpting portions of the video. Try this one! - posted by Micah on 4/17/2008 |

| Great workout |
| I was a motivated Firmer for years and fell off the workout wagon for the past year and a half. I would definately agree this workout is great for a less advanced excerciser. It definately got me sweating and I feel that you can make it as difficult or as easy as you want. Add more weights, go higher impact, this dvd can grow with you.I thought Rebbecka did an excellent job. - posted by Shaniqua on 4/10/2008 |

| Good Workout |
| I bought this dvd over a month ago and have done it serveral times as part of my rotation. sometimes I do the 25 minute workout as an add on to my work out. That seciton is more strength training than cardio. I wasn't sure if I liked it at first but after completing it several times, it works up a sweat and covers total bady. I wish it was a little longer than the 45 minutes. - posted by AT on 4/7/2008 |

| I Did not like this one |
| I did not like this video at all. Her cuing is terrible. I also found it difficult to do some of the moves. " The Firm: Ultimate Fat Burning Workout" is much better. If you are intermediate and seeking to move up, I would look at Cathe. She is great! - posted by tammy on 4/5/2008 |
