The Firm: Cardio Party

Finally, after years and years, a FIRM workout that's all cardio with no boxes, Fanny Lifters or steps. I'm a low intermediate exerciser, and I loved this workout!
I'll leave it up to the next reviewer to do a full break down of each section, but basically there's a warm up, then cardio segments led (in order) by Alison, Emily, Rebekah, Annie, and Allie, who finishes up with the cool down and stretch.
Each segment had different music and different moves, like side lunges and boxing moves that reminded me of Project You Push/Pull, Latin moves (led by Allie), and some good ol' cardio moves like side to sides and grapevines led by Emily.
The set is nice and bright, the gals look great and the transitions between instructors are smooth. There was one segment (I think with Annie) where the music and the moves got a little off, but if you keep following the instructors, you won't get lost.
For some reason I get some of the best results with "plain" cardio on the floor, and I used Kathy Smith cardio workouts for years to supplement my FIRM body sculpting and AWT. I'm thrilled to finally have some fun non-step cardio from the FIRM.
A+.
