What a great workout! I think this is one of the best FIRM cardio tapes widely available. Others have described it in detail so I won't say too much here.

The DVD is fully chaptered which makes it a really versatile workout to have. I often do only the low impact segments for a shorter workout. If you don't have the ball, and don't want to substitute something else, you can always skip those segments.

There is a great variety of moves done throughout the workout: high impact, low impact, step, ball etc. Each instructor brings her own style which really makes it fun.

One thing I really don't like about this workout, and many other firm tapes, is that the stretch is not very good at all. There are two stretch segments here, and both are well choreographed, but neither does a full range of stretches or holds them long enough. I always need to add on more stretching afterwards.

Otherwise, not much to complain about! Another good production from the FIRM.

Instructor Comments:
At first I wasn't sure if I'd like all of the instructors in this workout, but after doing it a few times my thoughts changed. All of them have fun, upbeat personalities that really shine on camera. They're great.
