Editorial Reviews: Amazon.com Interval workouts incorporate a variety of activities that are powerful and short in duration. These intervals create an anaerobic workout that forces the body to adjust to variations of intensity and motion. Interval training has the real potential to burn fat and build strength. The Firm: Body Sculpting Basics utilizes these same aerobic and anaerobic components to create a 60-minute workout that promotes strength and stamina. Instructor Susan Harris presents simple dance-style aerobic combinations and weightlifting techniques that are sure to make you break a sweat. This video is somewhat dated (lots of '80s-style leg warmers and traditional dance aerobic movements), but the content is so stellar that it would more appropriately be coined as a fitness classic. Pliés, squats, and split-leg lunges work the major muscles of the lower body, while lateral raises, curls, and push-ups concentrate on the upper body. Light weights (5 to 8 pounds) are used throughout this workout, and a set of ankle weights may be helpful if you are looking for a challenge. Cueing comes quickly and Harris does not give much information on form or body alignment. Therefore, beginners should watch the informational portion of this video (the segment immediately before the workout) in order to train as confidently and safely as possible. This is a brilliantly designed program that merges weight training and cardio in an effective and approachable (not to mention quick) package. --Olivia Voigts

I always wanted to start working out but always found a reason not to. Finally I mentally prepared myself that I would start and stick to it. After the first run through, I seriously thought I might die and told my son he may need to call 911 before the workout was over. I stuck to it and the next 2 days I felt like I had been hit by a truck. But I had the patience I promised myself. Today I have done the workout 4 times and wow, I can't believe the strength I have already built and I am no longer cursing under my breath at Susan Harris because she really does do a nice job. I know I will see results in 10 workouts, and I already feel so much better. Try it, you'll see. The Firm - Total Body Sculpting August 5, 2009 Peabo (North Hollywood, CA) I first came across the VHS tape back in the 90s. It is a great workout that will surprise you with the intensity. Yes, it looks like an exercise version of "One Crazy Summer" but once you get past that aspect, you're hooked. I even purchased the DVD version and am returning to it now that my Curves location has moved too far for a convenient workout. Also; get a length of 2 x 4 board at the hardware store - that is required for the leg and pec work. I went to Home Depot years back and had a 2-3 foot length cut - costs nothing and makes a difference. Invest in a 1 pound leg weights to start and 3,5,8lb dumbbells from Target.... I just started back up on this last night and god, am I aching today. A good kind of ache - the great thing is you can bring up the workout with increasing your dumbbell poundage AFTER you've built your strength. Dvd of The Firm: Total Body - Body Sculpting Basics being shipped out in September July 30, 2009 Scorpgirl When I saw the classics of vol. 2 and 3 were on dvd I did some internet searching to see if this one was on dvd yet, and lo and behold I ended up on Anna Benson's website (she is the creator of The Firm workouts in its early years), and that she is converting it to dvd to be released in September along with volume 4 time crunch. Hopefully it will be available here on Amazon. Sure the decor, outfits and music in this volume are outdated but who cares because the workout can't be beat for getting a body into GREAT shape. I love, love, love this workout and I was in the best shape of my life when I used it over ten years ago. I have other fitness dvds of the firm which are good but I missed this version because it shows results fast and I think it works out all areas of the body without alot focus on say just the legs, abs or arms. I highly recommend this video and am so happy it's going to be on dvd. DVD July 20, 2009 E. Parker (Albuquerque, NM United States) I received confirmation from Anna Benson's site that this will be coming out in September on DVD- can't wait! You cannot beat the classic Firm for a kick your butt workout, and Susan Harris is the best instructor you could have to motivate you through a killer workout! The Firm with Susan Harris July 15, 2009 Pamela Marko (Godfrey, IL. USA) I have always loved this workout. But unfortunatly I thought I had ordered a dvd. I did not pay attention it was my fault. This has to be the best work out ever. I have everyone of them. I wonder if anyone knows where I can get the DVD. Showing reviews 1-5 of 164 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...33 Next »
