This is my first introduction to the Firm, and it's a good choice for that. I wasn't sure if it would be strenuous enough for me, but my heart rate was in its target zone the whole time (after the warm up). This workout alternated low impact aerobics with light strength training. The aerobics moves were similar to step aerobics without the step. The tape can be done in a small space, which is important to those of us trapped in small apartments! I wasn't quite prepared for the number of props needed. I was able to scrounge up replacements for everything, but be warned. You need lots of stuff. I got a kick out of the music on this one. The cool-down music sounded like it would be more appropriate for the climax of an epic movie. Perhaps that is how the Firm sees their videos? Also, I found the little poses at the end of some of the sets a bit odd, but enjoyable. This tape has inspired me to try more Firms when I advance a bit more. Meanwhile, this one fits the bill quite nicely.
