This is one of the FIRM Parts series. I must admit that I have had it on my shelf for well over a year and had never tried it out. Well, that all changed yesterday and with the way my triceps feel this morning, I felt I had to review it!

The workout is about 40 min long. You need to be sure to have many different size dumbbells readilly available in case you suddenly discover that the weight you usually use for a particular exercise is the wrong weight to use on this tape...you'll find out quickly.

First of all, let me say that I usually do my triceps and shoulders with 5lb dumbbells. Well, I had to lower my weight yesterday because after a minute with 5lb-ers on my triceps, I had to move to 3lb-ers. There are a zillion reps in there and I could so feel the burn!

As for the rest of the tape, I felt that there were enough sets of each upper body muscle group that I got a fairly good workout. Biceps were definitely lacking and Lats may have been a bit overdone, but I suppose that's fixable if you just substitute one set or more of lat work for some bicep work. there is also no ab work

All in all, today I feel pretty good. My triceps have a nice dull ache in them and I feel like superwoman today! I've never really had a workout target the triceps that much! I was disappointed that there was no ab work, but added on an ab tape later on in the day. I feel like I got a great workout and i will definitely be adding this one into more of my regular rotation because I think, given how I feel today, that this tape will give me great shape to my upper body if I use it regularly.

Instructor Comments:
Deprise Brechia (I know I spelled it wrong) is the "personal trainer" for this one and has very little play in the video. The otehr instructors are the ones we know and love from the classics.
