I bought this tape years ago for $49.95. It introduced me to the FIRM and made me a FIRM believer. I had lost it over the years, and never replaced it. Instead, I bought newer FIRM tapes. I remember not caring for the tape--except for Susan Harris who remains one of my favorite instructors of all time. I bought this tape at Wal-Mart for $16.97 one week ago and have done it two times now. WOW! The leg segment left me intensely humbled! I use a 40-pound barbell for the step-up box segments on most other FIRM tapes. So I was really disappointed when I could not make it through the leg floor work with 5-pound ankle weights and a 8 pound weight! I now realize I still have far to go. I like the music on this tape. One selection is really goofy (a tuba plays one of the stupidest songs I have ever heard and this music makes everyone look as though they are extremely flatulent), but I love the rest of the music. The thing I like best about this tape is that it still contains basic body buiding moves that will never go out of style. If you are new to weighted workouts, this tape is a must have! If you have abandoned this tape for newer FIRM tapes, go back and revist it--it is a killer!
Overall Grade for this Tape: A
Grade for Susan Harris' form, instruction and strength: A+
