Pink Firms - Need Suggestions

[bubbles76]

I have tried a few, and am finding that I really like them at this stage in my exercise journey Simple, not fussy, can easily heavy up with more weights, and no brainers for early in the morning. Can anyone recommend any Pink Firms that they like? I'm looking for some that are more strength oriented than cardio, but a combo of the two is not bad if there is an express option to do the cardio seperately. "Purple" Firm recommendations are good too

Additionally, as most of the Firms are AWT style, can you do one every day and still get results without injury? By "results" I mean increased strength, endurance, and muscle definition. Not looking to lose weight, but would like to flatten my stomach.

Annie's Hi Def Sculpt is one of my favorites - it's one of those that doesn't seem like much when you do it, but it sneaks up on you and I always have DOMS the next day.

I can't answer all your questions, but 2 that I really like that got me re-interested in the Firm were Allie's Time Crunch Cardio (has 3 short workouts that can be combined, 2 of which use weights mixed with cardio) and Rebbeka's Get Chisel'd (it doesn't have an express version I don't think, but there is an extra 15 minute cardio on it). I also like Allie's Total Body Toner, but I haven't done it in a long time and don't think it has an express version.

I don't care much for the pink Firms anymore, but I do like Allie's Total Body Toner. Also, Hard Core Fusion and 500 Calorie Workout are good ones, but they are an even mix of weights and cardio (well chaptered, though, so easy to skip the cardio segments).

Oh, I've been wanting to try Total Body Toner! It's on my wishlist. Jane, why don't you care for the Pink Firms anymore?

Total Body Toner is an underrated gem in my book! Starts off with four limb which I love, but then you can go heavy. There's a bit too much ab work at the end for my tastes, (I don't like crunches, etc.), so I do my own ab work and stretch at that point.

Hi-Def Sculpting is good too. I also really like Punch, Jump and Jab, but some may not like that it's not too focused on either weights or cardio. However, I sometimes just enjoy a nice mix that gets my blood moving (and I love Kelsie).

Finally, if you like non-fussy, strength oriented FIRMs at about the "pink" intensity I recommend FRIM Classic Fat Burning. The set is totally cheesy (jungle theme with creepy plastic leopards), but the workout is great!

I think it's because of all of the Firm DVD releases that FitFaves is doing! I have always loved The Firm, but to me, there really is no comparison between Anna Benson Firms and Gaiam Firms (that said, I do still like most of the GoodTimes Firms). Also, the pink Firms are much faster paced so I can't go as heavy on the weights.

Kelsie's Tight Buns and Killer Legs
also Punch Jump N Jab!

Total Body Time Crunch is one of my favorites. The express option is all sculpting. In answer to whether you can do AWT workouts everyday, I alternate those that use heavy weights with those that just use light weights.

Total Body Time Crunch and Burn and Shape are my favorites. Hard Core Fusion is also a good one and has a shorter 35 minute premix.
