Time graph for The Firm: Total Body Toner
A diverse sequence of all-dumbbell body-sculpting (even the floorwork uses weights). For maximum effectiveness, nearly every fast-paced exercise works multiple muscles at once. Allie DelRio Pointer keeps it interesting with non-stop movement variations — she’s endlessly changing angles, tempos, body positions, weight levels and range of motion. She makes the transitions smooth and natural by always starting with a basic routine, then gradually adding in the modifications (e.g. four plyo bursts with a lateral pull followed by a twist and lunge … then on to a new combo). Requires two sets of dumbbells. ©2007.

The Firm: Total Body Toner

Go Allie!
This workout is not my vary favorite that Allie has done, but I do like this one a lot. I guess I just miss working with the Fanny Lifter or the TransFIRMer. But I do like using the CardioWeights, they are so cool. This workout has very fun cardio in it and I never miss an opportunity to dance will Allie. She is a great instructor who cleverly guides you through this workout with great cueing and personality. You will have fun with this one. - posted by Emily on 5/6/2008
yay Allie!
Allie is always a great lead. This is definately my favorite toning workout of the new bunch! - posted by A on 5/4/2008
Good feeling
I have been working out at home for years and love the Firm videos. Allie is one of my favorite Firm instructors. After completing this workout, I thought it was "just okay" until I woke up the next day. I couldn't believe how sore (in a good way) I was. I felt it for the next few days. It feels good to work muscles in different ways. - posted by Jennifer on 4/30/2008
Time Well Spent!
This is a great head to toe toning workout. It may be only 40 minutes; but not a moment is wasted. I like cardio/sculpt workouts; but at least one day a week I don't want to jump around; I just want to slow the weight lifting down so I can really heavy up and concentrate on the muscles I'm working. This workout allows me to do just that. It gets my heartrate up because it moves quickly enough through the sequences; but not at a crazy pace. The length of the workout also allows flexibility for anyone. You can easily add a 20 minute stretch routine or one of the Firm's 'express' workouts onto the end of this--or simply use by itself. Great buy and adaptable for all levels. This is definitely staying in my rotation. - posted by Carol on 4/19/2008
love this workout
this workout had my heartrate up,and i love that it is not 900 minutes long.the firm is my main workout.i love the 4 limb movements.the little cardio is fine with me.i am not trying to lift 40 pounds or workout so hard that i need an oxygen tank or paramedics nearby.i concentrate on the muscles that is being used.allie is my favorite instructor and alison isnt far behind. my goal is to lose weight. i tried cathe and had no results.with the firm im losing weight and inches.cathe is good,but i had to go back to the program that works for me.this workout is fun and before i know it its over and the hr was up.i used 3,8,and 10 pounds dumbbells. just concentrated on the muscles and felt it.glad i got this dvd. - posted by taylor on 4/7/2008

This one's a keeper!
A great fast-paced workout from one of my favorite FIRM instructors. I felt good, not wiped out, when I was done. I loved that Allie constantly switched from light, medium and heavy weights. - posted by Lorie on 4/3/2008
Deceptively Effective in only 40min
I am new to Allie and enjoyed her as a pleasant, knowledgeable and well cueing lead. The last Firm tape I did the lead wasn't as well at cueing as Allie is so I was pleasantly surprised immediately. After my workout, I noticed an overall general muscle soreness that was welcomed considering I didnt feel like I killed myself during the workout. I have to say these moves are deceptively effective. Many moves are performed with a lower than expected # of reps making you think your not working as hard as you really are..(maybe cause your working so many areas simultaneously). This is a no-dread, but very effective total body workout. I plan do this one regularly. - posted by Nancy on 4/2/2008
Lukewarm about the workout because I like Allie
If it weren't for Allie leading this workout, I would have hated it more. I went heavier in my weight selection, and I still didn't feel sore. Well no, I take that back, I felt sore for a few seconds after I just completed the exercise, but the burn went away quickly after that. I miss the leg presses on the tall box. I agree with a previous poster below that unless you're a beginner or intermediate, you may not enjoy and appreciate this workout. - posted by s on 4/2/2008
Loving it
I have been working out for a week now, I would say that this is a great work out and no boring at all. I am not measuring or weigthing myself, but I sure feel better , my body feels better and I am happier... I love the fanny lifter it just makes the video different... because you don't have to do regular squads or abs work, they combine all the regular steps with the fanny lifter and that makes it more entretaining. - posted by Anabel on 3/31/2008

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.
