This is the first Firm video to use interval training as the cross trainer series does. Some of the classic total body videos leave me wanting more, but this one is still a challenge for me. The strength work is a little light, but the aerobics leave me sweating and gasping for air every time.

Instructor Comments:
My sister refers to Sandahl as "weird woman" because of the way she stares into the camera. She does make it sort of obvious that she's reading from a teleprompter. Does she remind anyone else of Laurie Metcalf from "Roseanne"? Even some of the music on the tape sounds like it's from that show. As fitness instructors go she makes a fine actress, but she's easy enough to follow.
