I can't say this is my favorite FIRM video, but it's a good workout, especially for your lower body. The first section is standing work consisting of some short high- impact aerobic routines and upper body dumbbell work. The upper-body work is faster-paced than most of the other FIRM videos, so you'll probably want lighter weights for it.

This video's strength, for me anyway, is the lower-body work. I really don't feel like my upper body has made much progress when I'm done with this one, but my buns and thighs sure feel it. I use 10-pound ankle weights for the floor work, and I have to keep stopping. One of these days I'm going to make it all the way through without even grimacing!

This is not a video I would put on my Top Ten List, but it's a good one to do on days when you don't have the energy for anything aerobically strenuous, but you want to feel like you've done something good for your body.
