The Firm: Calorie Killer 2 (aka Power Cardio)

Dale Brabham
Year Released: 2003

Categories: Floor Aerobics/Hi-Lo/Dance


Calorie Killer 2 is an excellent workout that contains a little bit of everything, cardio with plyometrics, high/low impact aerobics, ball aerobics, 4 limb aerobics, strength work, tough abs, bridge work, low back strength and a stretch at the end. It clocks in at about 45 minutes. The workout moves quickly, and I had to stop the DVD in order to get my equipment set up. The music is typical Firm instrumental which is nondescript and nonintrusive.

This is a great workout to pull out on days when you aren't sure what to do, but want to work hard and quickly. It gets the heartrate up because there is a lot of plyo (jumping). If you do not like high impact, then this is not the workout for you. There is not a lot of strength work, so you would not use this workout to gain muscle.

Calorie Killer 2 is the identical workout to Power Cardio, which was a video sold in stores; there are no differences in the content.

I definitely recommend this workout to people who like the Firm, want a cardio-intense workout with plyo, and want an intense workout in 45 minutes. A+
