The Firm: Core Cardio

Tamela Hastie, Carissa Foster, Dale Brabham
Year Released: 1999

Categories: Floor Aerobics/Hi-Lo/Dance


Am I the only person without a glowing review for this video? I thought hi-impact moves like this went out with Jane Fonda and leg warmers. At one month shy of 40 my joints were screaming in pain for at least 24 hours after this video. I consider myself an "experienced intermediate". I have been working out about three years and can keep up a good pace for nearly an hour of cardio. I have no problem getting through all the other FIRMS and found Cardio 2 to be a much better video and much more interesting. If they said PLYO's one more time I thought I would scream. I do love the way the FIRM is offering separate cardio and strength tapes. Anyone try the new split tapes yet? I feel I get a better workout separating strength work from cardio. I'd say Cardio 2 much easier on the middle aged bod (and more varied). Also love FAT Blaster and Maximum Body Sculpting.

Instructor Comments:
I found all the instructors adequate although Tamela Hastie is a little too happy!
