This is the first of the WHFN workouts that I've tried, and Pratima has urged me to post this review, so here goes:

I was initially a little confused because the cover shows Kimberley, but then Heidi Tanner starts off saying, "Let's work out from the ground up!" I thought maybe a "From the Ground Up" video got into the wrong DVD cover. But no. Heidi warms you up with a very simple hi-lo combo of V-steps and mambos and stretches.

Kimberly does about five cardio sections interspersed between the weight segments-- very short and includes simple kickboxing. Ie, jab-cross-duck is one section, and shuffles + two roundhouses and two front knees are another. These segments were not very tough and I would not do Push Pull with any cardio expectations. Kimberley is fine, but this workout doesn't really give her any chance to shine.

Heidi does all the weight segments; variations on leg presses, tricep kickbacks, French press and pushups on 14-in. step. She does one shoulder fryer, where you step up on the 14-inch platform while doing laterals.

Brief pilates/yoga segment, so short it's almost negligible. You start out with a variation on the rollup--you lie on the floor with your leg stretched forward, you pull your upper body up as that leg comes inward, then roll back down. You also do that move where you lie on your side, propped up on your elbow, and lift up to work your core, doing a few reps of torso twists. Then you do the cobra a few times.

Overall I got an intermediate weight workout with some tougher moments, very little cardio, with scarcely more pilates/weights.

If you like Firm Classics, complete with Greek statues and brightly mirrored room, you might like this. The music was fun, production values great. They had a country twangy song during the pushups, which was funny. Very reminiscent of old Firm classics, with some of the old vets back. Very bright and clean picture, and Heidi is just as she was in the old Firms.

Instructor Comments:
Kimberley doesn't get to show off much kickboxing chops here, but does fine with what she has. Heidi is Heidi--if you liked her in the old Firm videos, you'll like her here. It was like doing a Firm Classic updated for the new century.
