Year Released: 2000

Categories: Lower Body Strength


Wow, I am sooo surprised to see that this video made the hall of fame! NOT IN A GOOD WAY!

This video felt very cold to me. Icy, as if there were robots exercising on the screen and i wasn't part of the class. Well, I am not physically, but there are those great videos where you feel as though you are right there with them (aka Super Cardio/Sculpt Vol 1 Tough Aerobic Mix and many others)

Jennifer Peluso.. wow.. i know small people have defended her, but at least they should've put a little self tanner on her! Maybe she is strong, but I don't see it at all. I am VERY surprised (like many other reviewers) that the FIRM chose her. Have you noticed that she isn't featured in any other video? There is a reason for this. As another reviewer said, she is the strangest FIRM instructor they have ever chosen. I have NEVER thought any other instructors are weird, and this is the main problem with this video!
********************************
also, this video is VERY easy.
I am advanced, and i agree with others that it is an intermediate/high beginner video.
The music is offputting, and this video is bland.

This FIRM is discontinued. This FIRM can not be found on most websites, except trades and ebay (maybe a few more) but Fat Blaster is still made.

Other videos (for intermediates if you are) that would be better are MAX BODY SCULPTING or FAT BLASTER or if you want to work harder SUPER SHAPERS or CLASSICS.

This is just my opinion, maybe I am waay off, but how many times do you hear this video being mentioned as a favorite to others?

Instructor Comments:
Jennifer Carman is great, but ..not in this video. Until I recieved Super Cardio/Super Sculpt
I didn't realise how good she really is. I really didn't "connect" with this video. I think you have to connect in order to keep wanting to do it over and over. I think for example VOL 1 has a big pull for people because they enjoy Susan Harris and are bonded with her in a way, that is why they keep exercising with that video!
Jennifer Peluso.. what can I say that hasn't already been said?
She is weird, she seems to try to be in a porno and when she does her ab pilate work thing, she sniffs to show proper breathing, but after a while, this starts to sound gross! I can figure out how to breathe after the first few examples! Taber Bruner is OK. Heidi Tanner is much better. (the doppleganger) The only instructor we still hear of today is Jennifer Carman. hmm.. why is this? :)
It is true.. the other TRI TRAINER, fat blaster, ALL THREE instructors have been used in new videos-Lisa Kay in AbSculpt, Allie in Super Cardio/Cardio Sculpt and Nancy Tucker in Super Sculpting.
