The Firm: Basics - Sculpting With Weights

Tracie Long
Year Released: 1997

Categories: Circuit Training (cardio and weights)


The first time I did Sculpting With Weights I was severely disappointed. I hardly broke a sweat. Whenever Tracie would say, "ooh, this is tough," I'd think, "yeah right!" I wished there had been something on the box that said THIS IS A VERY BEGINNER TAPE. Then not too long after I was diagnosed with mononucleosis. This is a fitness enthusiast's nightmare! I couldn't work out for over a month! When I regained some strength it was nothing like it used to be and I found all three Firm Basics tapes aided me in my recovery and they were much harder this time around. After about a year after diagnosis I had my strength back again, finally! Plus my mother is using the Basics series, so I guess it wasn't a waste of money after all.

Instructor Comments:
Tracie is great as always. Stacey has a lovely soothing voice and is pleasing to look at. As you may know, I've said Jennifer sounds like she's from Mars. Well, she REALLY sounds like it on this tape. When I first heard her say the words, "welcome to the Firm" I almost cracked up. Oh well, she's a good instructor anyway. I'm sure in real life she's more human.
