The Firm DVDs Arrived Today!

Thank you, Fed Ex, for delivering on a Saturday!

I immediately popped in The Firm: Power Sculpt, which is a 20-minute toning DVD.

I ****loved**** it!!!

Yes, me, who hates, fears and runs hiding from anything weighty, toning, etc--yes, I loved it!

I'm not in the best shape strength wise, and I did the tape without the bar--to learn the moves and get used to it. The instructor was cheery, the music was--well, elevator type but it fit the workout and was pleasant, and the workout, without the stick, had me pouring sweat immediately.

This is *just* what I was wanting and hoping for. It will take me awhile to build my strength up, so I'll be doing this awhile. I am happy!

I ordered two other The Firm toning DVDs which I have not watched yet. I will build up to those, but for now, I'm happy that I'm going to be able to move in the right direction without fear, allowing myself to be girly, and enjoying it!

I love my Richard Simmons cardio DVDs, but I have a sneaky suspicion I am going to be checking out The Firm's collection.

Oh, happy day!

  2. Yay!! I love The Firm as well. I have the original 3 workout set with the Fanny Lifter. :) I don't use it as much as I should though. Maybe you're inspiring me to break them out again this upcoming week! :)

  3. Funny, but I thought you were talking about a different version of "The Firm" too-lol!
    Glad you like your new workout videos. They will definitely help you tone and build muscle which as we all know speeds up the metabolism, burns more fat, etc. All good!
    Enjoy and you go girl!!

  4. LOL Jack's comment. And good for you, enjoy! I am an outdoor workout girl, but the outdoors offers little in the way of upper body strength, so I may have to check it out. Better than the gym!

  12. I need to increase what I'm doing for strength training, too (using elastic bands). I like following video for this sort of thing, maybe I'll check out Firm. Thanks for the review.
