I only do Firm and Fitprime workouts.
Yes you will lose weight and tone up by doing these workouts. I am not a big fan of the workouts that have been released since 2001 from Goodtimes. I much prefer the originals that are mostly put of print. A lot of people have complained about the leg presses bulking up their legs and getting a "Spongebob Squarebutt", but I have never had that happen, it really has helped to tone my hips, glutes, and legs. The full 14 inch step is not for me right now though, so I use the smaller portion, just b/c my knees are not that strong yet.
When I did Firm workouts from both tapes & the studio, I lost 50 pounds in about 8 months with no major eating changes, other than reducing the sweet tea I drank to 1 glass per day and drinking 1 gallon of water.
My results were defined arms, and weight loss in the tummy first. Everything else slowly shrank down to, but I could not see it, but it was noticed by others surrounding me and in my clothes.
I own most of the workouts that have come out, but if I had to pick my favorites, I would pick Volume 1 (Body Sculpting Bascics with Susan Harris) Core Cardio 2, Maximum Cardio, Super Sculpting, Cross Trainer Hare, Cross Trainer Tortoise, and Ballroom Aerobics made from both cross just noted trainers.
From doing these I have gained so much more than just physical fitness. It has given me an inner strength, confidence, my depression has lessened tremendously. I highly recommend these workouts.
I have only started doing Fitprimes b/c they were created by the sisters and now ex spouse who started The Firm. The main difference b/w the 2 is that fitprimes incorporate more yoga and pilates as well as functional fitness to build core strength.
