The Firm: Cardio (aka Variety: Strong Heart)
Heidi TannerYear Released: 1995
Categories: Circuit Training (cardio and weights)
Heidi is a "new" FIRM instructor and not so much the sex- symbol as the original instructors. Both her cuing and form are very good.
This is a very enjoyable full-body workout. It's a cross-training format with aerobics interspersed with toning. The aerobic sections are fun and the toning work is very effective.
After the warmup, the workout starts with pushups. I like having those at the beginning so they're out of the way! During the workout, after several of the toning routines, Heidi does stretches to relax the muscles you just worked. I like this as well -- it gives you a little breather before you move on to the next routine.
This is an excellent and fun workout for any level of exerciser. You can vary the difficulty by the weight of your dumbbells and/or the height of your step. I would recommend this one to anyone.
