Just adding my 2 cents. I really, really like this Super Shaper series. It's what the Blast Set should have been. Some of the routines are in CC1 & CC2 but with different instructors and exercisers. (Allie leads a ball-aerobics segment that Carissa leads in CC1.) The continuity is much better because the cast is pretty much the same and the instructors are all exercising in the background too. There's more time to get and put away the various equipment necessary for a Firm video so this doesn't feel like a compilation of several tapes. The warm-up stretch is about 4 minutes with a 3 minute Yoga style cooldown. Even the intensity queen, Cathe F. has lengthy warm-ups and cool-downs for intense exercise. If anyone is debating whether to Get CC1, CC2 and Bust & Butt or Super Shapers, get Super Shapers which consist of Super Cardio, Super Sculpting & Cardio Split. (Besides, you save a few bucks.)

Instructor Comments:
Allie was first seen in the Crosstrainer's Firm Strength and Firm Cardio working out with poundages too heavy to handle(or so it seemed.) Her girlish voice in Fat Blaster was irritating she was a competant instructor.l She's much better in this series. Dale looks and moves like an athlete. I thought she had the best cueing in CC1 and CC2. If and when the other Firm Cardios are released, hers would be the one I would buy. Carissa has the longest legs since Susan Harris. She leads the yoga- style stretch that was supposed to be at the end of the Blast Set. Jen Carman really comes into her own in Super Shapers, very high energy, genuine smiles and great rapport with the exercise.
