The Firm: Core Cardio 2

Sure glad I did Franny's 9905 hi/lo before I pulled out this tape. First off, forget the ab section - I went straight to the main cardio (!!) section (36 minutes) that begins with tall box climbs. The step sections were so badly cued, I was getting frustrated even after doing the video three times. This is more of a circuit workout - the heartrate goes way down (believe me, after Franny's hi/lo, I know what down is, and this was it!). Some hover squats, some plyo jumps, four-limbed aerobics, and the music was awful. This will not stop me from doing the workout as an add-on only workout, maybe with All Cardio (love the music), Step and Stones, or CCI. I guess this can be called a "lukewarm" review.
