I bought this tape when I was not able to get in as many workouts because of my work/travel schedule. There were weekends when I was home and knew I needed to work out but just couldn't face a really hard workout. This fits the bill perfectly, but I think it is also very flexible, as you could modify it to make it harder. Today I used it to help get myself out of a slump, which I've been slowly but surely working my way out of. Anyway, I think it is a great beginner's tape or light day tape for intermediate or advanced exercisers. It's actually pretty light on upper body work and if you do the lower body work the way Tracy does (with a dowel and sometimes 1 dumbbell for counter-balance) there are really just a lot of lunges and squats with little or no weight. The toning segments are broken up by short,low-impact aerobic segments that are fairly easy but fun. I even like the Rodeo move, although I wouldn't want anybody to watch me do it. All in all, I still feel that I have done something good for my body when I'm finished, but don't feel beaten up. I think it is also a great introduction to the Firm for people who might not be ready for the harder tapes. I'm really glad I have this tape in my collection.

Instructor Comments:
I think Tracy is especially good in this tape. Her cueing is great and she is motivating without being annoying or intimidating.
