I am a true die-hard Firm fan; however, I felt I needed some more cardio. After all the rave reviews from everyone here, I decided to try IM. I was afraid it would be too hard - but that's what I needed, something hard aerobically. And this is! It's a fantastic workout! I LOVE it!! I was able to follow along and do the whole thing the first time I did it. She explains EVERY move before you do it. Also, the steps are easy to follow. It will not take long at all to catch on. I was actually able to to the "harder" (and a few "hardest") level throughout the whole workout, but that was tough! I really felt good afterwards, too. I added on Frim Upper Arms and 5 -day abs for a little extra toning. Next time I do it I may add on Firm Lower body for a change. Gin says to wait 2 days in between for this exercise. I wonder why(?). That's ok, I'll alternate with other step tapes or Firm Total Body. I would say that anyone in the Intermediate level could do this on the basic level, but it is definitley an advanced level workout if you do any of the variations (there's hard, harder, and hardest). Gin actually does most of the routines at the "hardest" level -Yowza! She is an aerobic wonder woman!

I give this an A++++

Instructor Comments:
This was my first experience with Gin and I must say I like her! You feel like she is right there instructing the class. I find her very motivating and encouraging. She makes you feel that no matter what amount of the interval you can do it's ok, that you're still going to get a great workout.
