The Firm: Cardio (aka Variety: Strong Heart)
Heidi TannerYear Released: 1995
Categories: Circuit Training (cardio and weights)
I've been using both tapes (StrongHeart and StrongBody) since May 1996. I like this series much better than the traditional Firm tapes. The music was much better and the exercises are intense. Since I am relatively new to exercising on a regular basis, these tapes definitely have changed the look of my body. I don't worry so much about not enough aerobics in them since I always end each session with 30 minutes on my Nordic Track or 30 minutes of Reebok Step Training w/Gin Miller. By adding strength training with traditional exercise (lunges, abdominal work, plies etc), I have gotten faster results in reshaping my body. These results could not have been achieved with only aerobic workouts. I have all of the Firm series, and they definitely know what they are talking about. I rarely deviate from these tapes, but when I do, I put in Karen Voight's Strong and Smooth Moves which is the closest video to the Firm. I have gone from 224lbs to 190lbs (people tell me I look smaller). I will never give up these tapes!!!
THANK YOU FIRM!!! :)
