The Firm: Body Sculpting System - Cardio Sculpt

I've own this program before. There are two other Programs in this system, titled: "THE FIRM BODY SCULP" and "THE FIRM AB SCULPT". I'm sure that there are consumers who aren't aware of this. Originally each program came individually cased inside of an "outer sleeve". This is one of "THE FIRMS" better programs, though it is somewhat strenuous. But I would suggest modifying any move that can't be safely done or without pain. I don't step to high because I have somewhat of a bum left knee. I also don't jump up and down. When I first had this program it came with the Two-Part "The FIRM STEP", in "VHS FORMAT". I then wound up buying the step again, but with DVD'S. I used it for awhile and then put it to the side, probably during "Rotation". I didn't use it again for a long time. Then about four and a half years back my entire program, on DVD'S, were stolen. Though it wasn't the only "FIRM BODY SCULPTING SYSTEM" I had, I was brokenhearted to have lost it. I actually had forgotten about this program until I decided to go back to "THE FIRM". Over the years and even recently I've used other programs: "HULA", "BELLYDANCING", "ZUUMBA", "SALSA", "BALLROOM DANCING", LESLIE SANSONE "WALKING PROGRAMS", JOYCE VEDRAL'S "STRENGTH TRAINING PROGRAMS", AND OTHER VARIOUS AEROBIC PROGRAMS. I've mostly only kept to a few, like: The Walking Programs, Some of the Dance Programs, Some Of Joyce Vedrals Programs, and "THE FIRM", which seem to be the most effective.I'm really excited about getting back with this program. I know about and trust "THE FIRM" to get me into shape fairly quick, if I use the program. I've already began a steady exercise program. Unfortunately I've had to use a different step, one that I've had for years. "THE CLASSIC STEP". It will suffice until I get another adjustable step. I would suggest this to anyone who wants to get into shape and strength train at the same time, without using alot of time. Buy this. Hopefully the entire program can be found at one time. If not, then buy them individually. They're not to expensive. The thing is, I'm not sure that "THE FIRM STEP" is still available. But I think it's worth it to look for one. If they aren't available then get as close to a facsimile as possible. Some kind of a step is needed, even if it is a short one.

first of all i'm a 100% authentic firm customer and i have been since 1998 and i resent the person that said these reviews were fake. i dont waste my time or others commenting on these DVDS to be fake, i do it cause i believe in this program!! doing these enjoyable but aerobic interval weight training workouts altho has been the toughest thing i have done and i feel complaining muscles everyday. the firm has toned my body head to toe twice twice because i was sick for 6 months and by the time i regained my health i gained the weight i had lost the first time back. but i've used this firm system to lose almost all of it now. i have a size to go. and it took me 8 months. but i've watched myself tone up. i highly recommend the Firm. even if you are a beginner like i was you can still do lighter weights and not do the whole DVD just a mix of segments working the major body parts and work up to them all like i have. you will feel stronger and happier that you commited yourself to do something good for yourself. and it IS a commitment. sure there are exercise days i dont feel like doing it.. but i do cause its a commitment i intend to keep. and you will tone on this program. at first you dont think you are, but stick with it. you are worth having the best body you can and enjoy your success. i'm not ever going to be petite or thin, but i'm working on the best body i've been given in this life and the firm helps that with good advice and fun workouts no matter what your body type is.now on to my review of Cardio Sculpt which i just purchased and worked out to. excellent mix of fun cardio and weights. Allie Del rio is a fun informative instructor see also her other cardio DVD Maximum Cardio Burn plus Abs for a great cardio workout. This workout has more of the weight based body sculpting i like. but i can't deny that Allie's cardio videos are the few i really like and look forward to doing and are such fun and motivating but complete workouts i'm glad i went outside my usual weight training buys and got something different. i hope this review helps the true exercisers out there. Good Luck to you all starting a fitness program. it will change your life for the better.... it has mine.

The FIRM has been around since the mid-80s and truly were the trailblazers of the cardio WITH weight-training movement. Our modern workouts almost always have a weight-training component to them, but they didn't always. The FIRM has also changed hands over the years as they competed to stay interesting and relevant. This FIRM series called "Body Sculpting System" (BSS) was developed to continue their commitment to body sculpting through weights, but it is in a way "easier" than their earlier workouts. By no means is this series ineffective. In fact, all their workouts can be tailored for an advanced user through the use of increased weights. I think the moves in this series were selected specifically to be easier on the joints. The cardio in this video is lower impact. It's now known that higher impact isn't necessarily better (and definitely not better if you have weak/bad knees or back). If you want to ramp up intensity, you certainly can! The instructors in this series are long time master instructors of the Firm, so for many they are welcome familiar faces. More importantly, they guide the user well with perfectly timed cueing. You will most certainly sweat with this video! With this series you will need a set of dumbbells (3-15 lbs. most beginners don't use weights at first, intermediates 3-5 lbs. and advanced 8-15 lbs.) and you will need their "Fanny Lifter" if you do not have a Fanny Lifter, any other aerobic step (preferably with a short and stackable taller segment) will do. Even a low stool and a tall one (this is what I used back in the day when I couldn't buy their old school wooden stools the company sold).

It was perfect. It came by mail 2 days after I ordered it. The workout is challenging. I love it.

A+++

It’s ok
