Today was Maximum Body Sculpting with Tracie. Love this one! Another with limited cardio, although the cardio there is is plyometrics, but I did all of that as prescribed and managed not to modify beyond only using the blue portion of the FL for tall box climb.

I did The Firm BSS2 Maximum Cardio Burn Plus Abs with Allie Del Rio yesterday. I enjoyed this one, too! They used the Fanny Lifter and sculpting stick; I used only dumbbells for the workout.

My last workout of 2021 was The Firm BSS2 Complete Aerobics & Weight Training with Emily Welsh. I only used dumbbells and got a good workout

It's a good workout either way. Probably flows better just using the dumbelss too :-)

My last workout of the year was Tracie Long's Leaning Out. Technically not TheFIRM, but since she was a former instructor, I'm counting it lol. She's not always the best at cuing, but it's different and fun

Happy New Year! Thank you for checking-in. We can do another Firm check-in in the future if you wish :-) I noticed an increase in energy and my migraines haven't been as frequent. I was mostly doing Margaret Richard's workouts before with walking/stretching.

My first FIRM-style workout of 2022 was Kick Butt Fast Cheetah, with Kimberly and Heidi. This one is great, a perfect 45-minute workout with a good mix of cardio and floor work. It's very light on sculpting, and the cardio is almost entirely low impact. The only things I modified were not doing full tall box climbs and skipping the cobra segment, because lately cobras and upward-facing dogs have bothered my back a little. Otherwise, this was fantastic, and only required the use of 5-pound weights.

Karla - I think Tracie Long counts.

Happy New Year to you! I really enjoyed the check-in, so I'd be up for another Firm check-in. I'm glad you noticed improvements; my energy level improved as well. Both the check-in and having a rotation helped me stay consistent and motivated. It was nice knowing what I was doing each week. I only struggled a bit when I switched from 3 to 2 Firm workouts. I switched from 3 Firm days/2 cardio & Pilates days to 3 cardio & Pilates days/2 Firm days, which I didn't like as much.

I enjoyed the BSS2 workouts so much, I'll be repeating them this month. I may stop posting here, though, since I'll be doing the same 3 workouts each week and I think others have moved on.

kat999 - Hi! I thought I was the only one continuing with Firm workouts.

I haven't been doing tall box climbs either.

Today was FitPrime Metaboost with Heidi. For some reason this one was really tough today, even though I don't feel like it is usually. I hope I'm not getting sick.

Today was The Firm Basics Sculpting with Weights to ease myself back into The Firm workouts!
