The Firm: Cardio (aka Variety: Strong Heart)

Heidi Tanner
Year Released: 1995

Categories: Circuit Training (cardio and weights)


This video is far superior to older Firm productions. The cueing is much better and the movements are more controlled than previous videos. While this video is titled Cardio, there is a lot of strength training using innovative techniques in addition to traditional movements. This makes it very motivating and fun.

Even the aerobics portions are improved! More interesting choreography than the earlier volumes, but still basic enough to follow along and use weights when warranted.

While this video requires a lot of equipment (tall step, short step, dumbells, ankle weights), and there are frequent equipment changes, it can be done in a limited amount of space which makes it perfect for home exercisers trying to acheive a challenging workout. I highly recommend this video and consider it among my favorites.

Instructor Comments:
Heidi does a better job cueing that instructors from older Firm videos. She is always encouraging proper form.
