Year Released: 2002

Categories: Lower Body Strength


This is my first review, so bear with me. I decided to review this one because I couldn't find one on it.
A little background, I've been exercising with videos for years but consider myself an intermediate.
This is from the 6 pack series that came out after BSS1. I had all 6 videos. This is the only one I kept. I really like it.
Libby starts out with a warmup and stretches, maybe 4 or 5 minutes. Then it is on to all seated or floorwork with abs mixed in. The breakdowns are:(at least what I remember)
Seated quad extensions, then on to leg raises on the floor, first on one side, then the other. There is a stretch on each side after you finish the second set of quad work.
Ab work is next. Then it is on to bridge work with your feet on the fanny lifter, then more ab work, and then more bridge work.
Next is inner and outer thigh work, doing one side at a time before switching legs. Finally you finish with more ab work. The best part though is the stretch at the end. Probably the longest stretch on any firm tape ever and it's very relaxing. This tape is a lettle over 30 mins.
Stephanie shows the modifications for beginner's and options are shown to make it harder. You can add ankle weights to make the entire workout harder and heavy up on the dumbells. I like this tape because it does not have endless reps like some floorwork tapes do so you can really heavy up and still have good form.
I'm hoping the Firm puts out another floor tape soon.

Instructor Comments:
Libby has a very calm and soothing voice, I love her accent. She gives very clear cues. I wish they would have her do another video.
