The Firm: Crosstrainers - The Tortoise

Susan Harris, Tracie Long
Year Released: 1995

Categories: Circuit Training (cardio and weights)


"Tortoise" is one of my favorite cardio/strength workouts.The ballroom segments are a nice change of pace (the Charleston is my favorite!). The weight work is excellent. I also like how the ab work is separated into 2 sections.

I didn't like, however, the opening stretch before the 1st set of abs. What was the purpose of that?

Instructor Comments:
Tracie is the instructor's instructor: nice body, perfect form, adequate form pointers, and a pleasant demeanor.

What gets me mad about this workout is how Susan gets NO credit whatsoever! Despite this, Susan is a nice addition to this workout, although she only leads 3 sections of this workout.
