The Firm: Basics - Sculpting With Weights

Tracie Long
Year Released: 1997

Categories: Circuit Training (cardio and weights)


After giving Fat Burning to a friend, I had sworn off FirmBasics because they were too easy, but since I adore Tracie, I just couldn't help but buy this one. There are several series of standing leg work that she does without weights, but if I use my "super-heavy" dumbbells on those, and heavy on everything else, I can still get in a workout that feels like a workout! I do add some high-intensity to the aeorbics segments and some extra ab work in place of the pelvic floor contractions. Even though I have to modify this workout to match my fitness level (intermediate/advanced), I still think this is an awesome workout that can be done by anyone at any level. This is yet another quality video put out by the Firm that is definitely worth adding to my workout collection.

Instructor Comments:
The only reason I bought this video is because Tracie is the lead--she is my absolute favorite! Her cueing (sp?) and form are excellent, and she is in incredible shape, which is a real motivator. I keep telling people that someday I'm going to look like her, but, ya know, I'm not all that!
