This was my first FIRM tape - and my very least favorite. I *hate* the silly warm-up - "big squats" with hand-claps and "hip wiggles" coupled with the even sillier music. I don't like that the 30 minutes of aerobics are divided up. And I really dislike all the high-impact aerobics.

It does have some of the good FIRM aspects (IMO) - easy chereography, yet you really get a thorough workout, weight work, strength building, etc. I knew that the FIRM was on to something, though, so I did this tape off and on for months til I finally purchased other FIRM tapes. Now I never do this one!

Recently at Blockbuster I saw an old exercise video called GymJazz by Sandahl. She had the totally 80's spiky hair and makeup, and was wearing some funky black leather type outfit. I think she looked more at home on the cover of GymJazz than the FIRM! :-) In terms of form and cueing - she's fine. Not bad, not impressive.
