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 love it |
This is the first firm video I bought and used, it is my favorite.
It is a bout 62 minutes so you need to prepare for that, however when I am short on time you can do the first 30 minutes or skip parts, it is made in sections so its easy to do.
When I first did this workout the only other previous training I had was slim-n-six. Going from the hardest video in the slim-n-six to the firm was easy and some of the moves were the same. With the firm though I was really tired by the end of the running in place bit (10-15 min. into it) and couldn't finish most of the moves. It worked me out harder than I expected, especially since I could completely finish the hardest one in slim-n-six! It wasn't so hard though that I felt I would never be able to do it, with in 2-3 weeks I could it fine. If something doesn't feel right I just slightly modify it so it feels comfortable (with pillows or I don't go as low, etc.). Susan Harris does a great job queuing and she has a personality, I love it when she says "Its hard Ay?"
If you have no experience then just do what you can and don't use weights! Stop if you need to and just keep going!

Superior Results from a Classic Work Out |
|
There are some dated elements to this video like the clothing and hair styles, but the the work out is fundamentally effective and enjoyable. Susan Harris is a true master of her craft and delivers a humble and comprehensive lead to a vigerous work out. If you use this work out 4 - 5 times per week you will see surprising results. I love the music they have with this video. Like so many other things, they just don't make them like they used to... This video is 20 years old and is top notch to this day. |

Best lower body shaper! |

I have all of the new and all of the classic videos. By far, if you want a great workout dont wast your money on the new videos, spend it on completing your classic firm collection. This workout is so tough, but it gets easier. And when it does add more weights. Would definatly recommend to beginers to advanced.[...] |

Best Workout EVER! |
|
I started working out with Jane Fonda at 20 years old after having my first child, and between her tape and Richard Simmons, I got back into shape. Shortly thereafter, I discovered Susan Harris's Total Body workout, I couldn't believe how difficult it was! I have continued using this tape now for about 25 years and even compared to all the new workouts (including Tae-Bo) and including personal training at the gym, I can honestly say that this workout is still one of the most challenging workouts I've done! I try and do it once a week mixed in with other workouts, and it definitely does the trick! It's old and a little hokey, but it's effective! I wish they would put it on DVD! |
