I would recommend this as a nice change-of-pace video. It is not something that's likely to become the cornerstone of your lower body training. For those not familiar with the Firm Parts format, these are clips taken from the first six Firms. Instructors include Susan Harris, Janet Jones-Gretzky, Sandahl Bergman, LaReine Chabut and Jayne Poteet. Kathy Derry serves as a sort of Mistress of Ceremonies, introducing each segment. The video is all floorwork, starting with bridge and proceeding to table, side leg lifts, bridge, side leg lifts, table and bridge. I used weights with the bridgework, but leg lifts and table are plenty hard for me without any added weight. I would rate this at about an intermediate level; it would also be good for a beginner looking to move up or an advanced person using added weight. You should get a decent burn from this. Although they say it's for quads and butt, I feel it mostly in my butt and hams. One problem that is typical in the Firm Parts Series: the warm ups and stretches don't really correspond with the muscle groups you'll be working, so you may be better off adding your own stretch.

Instructor Comments:
Typical Firm instructors and milieu-either you love it or hate it. None of the instructors are on long enough for me to work up any strong emotion for or against them.
