I have the oldest Firm videos. They are oldies but goodies. They're the videos I keep coming back to because they're such an awesome workout. I love the way they combine aerobics with weight-training, the moves are simple to learn but very effective, the instructions are clear and easy to keep up with, and the production values are superb.

My only warning is that they can be a little hard on the knees if you have pre-existing knee problems, as I do. I work around this by using a much shorter step than they show, and by substituting knee-lifts for the lunges and plies.

Are these the old, old videos you are talking about. Where they use wooden steps and lots of the gals have on leotards and leg warmers and the guys have on belts? My brothers girlfriend (she's all of 18 and these were probably made when she was a toddler!) gave me about 4 of them a while back and I cannot get past the outfits to actually do the workouts. Plus I do not have a bench. Maybe I'll have to just get over my hangups and do them.

Smoo - once again, I'm still so impressed!!!

Default Wow!!

I found my first attempt at doing The Firm was really hard. The steps changed too quickly for me and I couldn't pause the DVD. The 14" step was too high for me also. I think I'll do the walking workouts for a while first and try it again in a month or two.

Smoo-

I was searching for some before/after pics of real people who use the Firm - you are an AWESOME inspiration!! I have done them for two days now, and man oh man I am sore. But after seeing your pictures I think tonight I will go put in the aerobic one and get at it! I want to see those type of results
