The Firm: Total Body Toner |
 My Go To Strength Workout When Pressed For Time |
| When I don't have alot of time in my day for a strength workout, I go to this one regularly. On my regular days, I stick with Jari Love and Kelly Coffey Meyer. I go heavier for these as well. To the last reviewer, if you bump up the weights, it will be challenging. I do the entire workout with 8 lbs as my light weights, 10 as my medium, and 15-20 as my heavy. If you do this, I promise it will be more challenging. If you use light weights, you are correct, it is not challenging enough for someone more intermediate-adv. or adv. It then is great for beginner to intermediate exercisers so I think it is labeled correctly for that. I love Allie. Her instruction is perfect. I like that she does not rush through the moves and pays attention to form. Some Firm workouts, they go so fast trying to get so much in in so little time, that form is compromised and it can be dangerous. I feel like I worked my entire body in the short amount of time that I have to do it. Especially with my heavier weights. If you are a beginner or intermediate, you will feel like you worked everything as well, for your level. This one will stay in my regular rotation when I am pressed for time. Great job Allie! I highly recommend this one for whatever exercise level you are at! - posted by J on 11/11/2011 |

 Great instructor...not as challenging! |
| I love Allie! She has great energy and is right on with her cuing and motivation. However, this DVD didn't cut it for me. I was looking for a challenging strength training workout I can do 2-3xs per week and didn't feel the burn at the end of this DVD. I would recommend this workout to someone who is more beginning...not an intermediate workout. - posted by Joan on 10/21/2011 |

| Great Workout! |
| I am so pleased that the Firm is still producing quality workouts. This one, led by my favorite instructor, is well paced incorporating all muscle groups while getting your heart rate up where it should be. It's challenging but doable. I always feel like I've done a complete workout when done. I've been doing Firm workouts for more years than I care to admit, and I'm still so motivated by this team. - posted by Joanna on 6/16/2011 |

| Allie gives a new twist to old favorites |
| Allie's cuing is excellent, plus her enthusiasm keeps me going without becoming annoying. The workout is fun, not "dancy," easy to learn and exhausting (give me a break, I'm 67 and a former smoker). You only need weights so you don't have to stop and arrange extra equipment. I am glad I ordered this tape. - posted by Barbara on 4/8/2011 |

| Lives up to the name |
| I got this workout after using the express version available as part of another dvd. I was not disappointed. Some of the moves were new, but I could follow well enough on the first try, so I know this will be in my regular rotation. - posted by Jennalicia on 2/28/2011 |

| Total body toner is super |
| I've been using FIRM videos since the 1990s. I can tell you, this is a winner. It is easy to follow and allows you to use the weights that challenge you. The women I work out with also rate the Total Body Toner a winner! - posted by cathi on 2/24/2011 |
