Kiana went on to have her own show. I remember working out with lots of TV shows - Cory Everson, Tamilee, Kiana and others.

I don't really remember this infomercial in any detail, but I am forever thankful to it and to The Firm. This infomercial caught my interest enough to not only buy the product but to use it and stick to it.

I remember trying the workouts and quitting, just like I had done with every other workout that I had tried before. Then for whatever reason, I decided to try it again over Memorial weekend in 2003. It was hard. I distinctly remember being winded and wondering how much longer when Alllie said that this was the end of the warm up! I thought I'd die before the thing was over! LOL! I remember feeling really frustrated at how hard it was and almost starting to cry during hover squats with Jen. But something about the workouts and my belief that they were the ticket to success kept me at it. The last several years have been hard because I really don't enjoy working out and I got to the point of finding excuses to not to work out as often as I typically did. Where as I used to work out 5 or sometimes 4 times a week, it dwindled to 2 or maybe 3 times a week The last two months have been a forced break since I got that nasty cold/flu thing with the non-stop crazy cough and stuff in chest and head that is still lingering. During that hiatus I realized that I missed my old workouts, so I had decided to go back to "my roots" and start doing what worked for me before, and that includes The Firm. Thanks for posting this link. I plan to watch all 3 parts and maybe it will work its magic on me again.

i also use my FL a lot. it's one of my favorite fitness purchases. since i never owned the wooden-looking ones shown in the classics and WHFN, this was my ticket to the being a real firmie. i make sure the rubber feet stay on securely being that it's probably hard to find replacements these days.

i got my kit from QVC with VHS tapes. eventually, i traded for the DVDs that were in 3 separate cases, and then i traded again for the set that came in 1 case.
