The Firm: Super Cardio Sculpt

Nancy Tucker
Year Released: 2002

Categories: Floor Aerobics/Hi-Lo/Dance


I only found two reviews for this workout, so I thought I'd add one. Here's a crude break down:

0-6:00 Warm Up
6:00-10:30 4 limbed aerobics with the short section of the fanny lifter
10:30-16:00 Tall box work
16:00-21:30 Floor aerobics, low impact
21:30-27:00 Floor aerobics, higher impact
31:00-32:30 Tall Box work
32:30-36:30 Step aerobics with a lower body focus
36:30-40:00 Stretch

Athletic moves are used for each segment/combo. With all the different combos, time goes fairly quickly. Typical of the newer firms, one background exerciser shows modifications for beginners. Nancy does a great job of cueing the earlier segments, but it seems like there is there is less cueing in the later segments.
Do I like this workout? I've been on the fence since I purchased it. I was expecting something a bit different as Collage advertised it as aero-tone intervals, but other than the short 4 limbed segment at the beginning you do not use weights. If you are looking for athletic cardio, that mixes up floor, step, and tall box work you will probably really like this workout. If you are looking for aerobic weight-training (more like classic firms) then this will probably not suit your tastes.

Instructor Comments:
Nancy leads several Firm instructors through the workout. They are wearing coordinated (but not matching) outfits, blue on top, black on the bottom. I find that these newer firms do not use very flattering lighting, it's harsh and blue. This doesn't really bother me now, but it definately gives these a different look and feel than older firms.
