I’m still undecided about this one. I love Carissa Foster – I’ve liked her ever since her debut with the FIRM several years ago. This workout is “okay.” I like it for the most part, although I do think there are an excessive amount of equipment and position changes. You start on the floor with core and leg work. That takes up roughly half the workout. Then you do standing work with cardio bursts mixed in. I’d call this mostly an intermediate workout, touching advanced at some points. I guess my major hangup is that it seems gimmicky sometimes – using equipment for the sake of using equipment, flopping around trying to quickly get in different positions for the same of getting into different positions. I think, though, I will keep this for at least a little while longer. I like it enough to give it a few more tries.
