More Firm! What's the best post-Classic workout?

I did Firm BSS2 Complete Aerobics and Weight Training this morning. I've always loved doing it and felt thoroughly worked when finished. Which brings me to my question!

I know there's a transition period between the Classics and the BSS workouts, and some folks consider some of those middle level workouts to be classics, while others don't. Rather than discuss the definition of "Classic" Firms, I'd like to pose the following question:

Of all the Firms from BSS1, through all the BSS, the "Pinks", the Express set and all the different "gadget" sets (Wave, Zip...), which workout, in your opinion is the very best?

I'll be interested to see what y'all think!

The best Firm's post classics to me are:

Firm Total Muscle Shaping-Stephanie Huckabee. It has leg press. I like all the bicep work. I just feel like it's similar to a classic. It uses the TransFirmer which changes into 8 or 14 inch step and also an incline step. I like the lunges and ab work using the step. The music is much better than all the other post Firm classic.

Firm Aerobic Body shaping-Allie Del Rio. This has leg press, step, floor aerobics and I like the music the best.

Firm Complete Body Sculpting-this is my favorite. It has fun step, leg press, and so much more. I love the music.

These 3 workouts remind me of Firm BSS2 Complete Aerobics and Weight Training.

The "pink" Firm's that I felt like were sort of like a classic are

Firm Hard Core Fusion. Its all done on floor..no step. And Allie combines a lot of lower body with upper body so its metabolic. I also like the kickbox flavor to it. Its not as tough as the workouts above though and the music isn't anything like classics.

Firm Total Body Toner is metabolic. Its shorter and doesn't have a dread factor. I also like that Allie teaches it.

I agree with you that Complete Aerobics and Weight Training is a great workout.
I've recently got back into the Firm and the ones that I enjoy the most are the workouts from BSS3 and the transfirmer:
Fat Blasting Cardio
Total Muscle Shaping
Complete Body Sculpting
Ultimate Calorie Blaster
Aerobic Body Shaping
Supercharged Sculpting

And what helped get me back on my FIRM kick, was the add-ons from BSS1 which are also great (and mostly 30 minutes!):
Cardio Sculpt Blaster
Super Cardio Sculpt
Body Sculpt Blaster
Super Body Sculpt, etc.

Enjoy!!

I love Body Sculpt Blaster with Nancy Tucker. It's the very first workout where I already owned the VSH but also purchased the DVD.

I love the BSS3 sets as well, but use all my all bss sets quite equally.
I still love Nancy's Calorie Killer, and Emily's Burn and Shape is cawt.
I very often go to the Firm basics series, and I also love Stacy's prime power Fatburning, which just cheers me up with the crazy jungle theme and the Sousa march music-segment.It makes me feel goofy and happy.

I started with BSS2 so they will always be favorites. I also love Cardio Sculpt Blaster, Super Cardio Sculpt, Jiggle Free Arms, and Ultimate Fat Burning Workout. Oh, and Cardio Overdrive.
