This workout has already been thoroughly broken down by others, so I am just going to add my opinions. This is an all floor workout made up of the ab and leg portions from Tortoise and Hare. The run time is about 40 minutes and jumps straight into ab work – there is no warm up. The work is as follows: abs 1, table work/laying side outer and inner thigh lifts right leg, pelvic pulses, abs 2, bridge, table work/laying side outer and inner thigh lifts left leg, abs 3, stretch. So you can see that there is a LOT of abs in this workout, despite the name which would imply it is mostly leg work. For an all leg floor workout, I would recommend Firm’s Floor Legs, another compilation made from the original classics.

I like to pull this one out every once in a while for the great ab work (especially the second ab section, which is mostly lower ab focused) and table/laying side work. I make it tougher by using ankle weights throughout (not just for the legs, which is what is demonstrated). It is a low intermediate workout, that would be a good alternate to pilates, which also focuses primarily on abs/legs. I am using it lately as I recover from an ankle injury, and for that purpose it is GREAT. By the end I had a gentle sweat going, but this one is not a calorie killer – it’s all toning.

This workout has the usual high production quality, music synchronization, and good instructor cuing that can be expected with the Firm. This was in the library setting with a very large class. Grade A.

Instructor Comments:
I am a big fan of Tracie Long – her instruction is impeccable. She always reminds you – JUST when you need reminding – how to make a workout harder or easier, and which muscles should be engaged. I think I liked her Firm workouts even better than her later TLT/Longevity workouts. And her physique is completely awesome, very inspirational!
