Of the 3 BSS1 tapes, this one was probably my favorite…though that is not saying much. Jennifer Carman is remarkably sculpted and looks really ripped…almost too ripped for a nice, southern gal. Anyway - this video is pretty focused on the sculpting end of things (as the title would lead one to believe) and I find that it is not very fun.

This workout is filmed on the new post-2001 Firm set which is fairly plain and white. There are 5 master instructors (including Jen) and one of them always shows the modifications for beginners. The workout uses the 3 in 1 Fanny Lifter and it feels like they are a little too fond of always saying "Fanny Lifter". I think I prefered when they used to call it the "Tall Box" in the older Firms.

I don't know what it is, but I just couldn't warm to any of the original 3 BSS1 tapes. Maybe they are just too drastic of a departure from the original Firms...the new set is really austere looking and the girls all seem really plastic-y. Admittedly, many of the older Firms have been critisized for seeming like the girls have no personality, but if anything, the invasion of Goodtimes has made this much worse. Perhaps it is just a preference for the older tapes.

I know that this tape got some good reviews from other VFers,and it may well be the best of the BSS1 tapes. I just have trouble getting into it and I never reach for it. It will be going out of my collection in the near future.
