The Firm: Body Sculpt (BSS1)

Categories: Total Body Workouts


I bought these 3 videos about a month ago.. (Ab Scupt, Body Sculpt, Cardio Sculpt). I already had the 14 step from original Firm videos. This tape is wonderful. The best thing i love about it is it has 2 segments, upper and lower. I also love using this tape with Cardio Split 1. Sometimes ill use Cardio Split Lower body with Body sculpt Lower or mix it like Body Sculpt Lower with Cardio Split Upper or Cardio Split Lower with Body Sculpt Upper.Her cuing is very good on this tape and form is perfect. I really do miss the original Firm classic backrounds with the class. I know its sort of old but i really miss that look. Thats one thing i really wish they didnt change about their videos. All the new ones dont have the Firm class in them with the nice sculptures and rug floor. Anyhow, i really think although the segments are short (like in cardio Split 1), i really like this one. The moves are tough but basic so you pretty much know what your doing if your old to the Firm which i have been for 7 years now. I really only use the Firm and have kept as a size 2 even after my daughter! But ill really have to say...eating is still 70% of how your body shape will show no matter HOW much you work out. But this tape is really effective and i love the upper body part. There are a few new moves on the lower body like when Jen tells you to put your 4 inch or 8 inch step to the side of you and with your dumbells you step to the side like a side step lunge which REALLY works the inner thighs! I never knew an exercise that way. ITs a really nice change to the new sculpting ways they have. The upper body is pretty basic but there is also a new exercise where you lift your shoulders above your head but laying over your fanny lifter....this one is tough!! Even with 2 pound weights!! But its a nice change. This one is good when you want a nice workout with weights and zero cardio. So i recemend alternating this one with Cardio sculpt or another all cardio tape from the Firm.Fun Firming!!
