The Firm: Basics - Fat Burning

Stacy Millner-Collins, Jen Carman
Year Released: 1997

Categories: Circuit Training (cardio and weights)


I am a beginning exerciser and was excited to get a tape for "beginners". I was very surprised by this video. It was too easy for even me! I didn't break a sweat and my heart didn't even feel like it was beating hard, let alone getting into my target zone. The leg work was intense and I definately felt that, but the rest of the workout was way too easy for even this beginner. I want to try other Firm tapes for intermediates.

Instructor Comments:
There were two instructors in this video. Since I am new to The FIRM, I do not know the difference. The dark haired woman that lead the aerobic sections sounded almost mechanical. Her cuing got on my nerves. The blonde woman that did the strength work was much easier to listen to and sounded more natural.
