Great workout :-0 September 6, 2008

The Firm have been impressing me lately. I wasn't always a fan of theirs but their latest releases have been so good I am going back to them now and really enjoying them. Alison is back and doing another terrific job with cuing and motivating you. She's encouraging without being over the top and she lets you know what's up next in time to get it down.
This workout uses a mix of aerobics with toning and comes with a cool looped band. The intervals are about 8 minutes each and keep your heart rate up and tone your muscles at the same time which to me, seems to be the best way to shape up quick. There is also ab work done on the floor so it really does get to your entire body. It is probably best suited for intermediate to advanced exercisers and even for me (intermediate-ish), it's challenging enough. My legs were burning while doing the lower-body portion and that gives me encouragement to keep going because I know I'm doing some good.
I really enjoy this. It's fun and fat burning and led so well. It's a new favourite of mine and hope that The Firm will keep bringing out quality workouts like this.
Terrific workout for intermediate FIRMers and above! September 17, 2008

This workout was terrific! I have been using the FIRM since 2005 and I this is definitely one of my favorites. The 55 minutes passed very quickly and for occasions when I don't have that amount of time, there are 3 express workout options. Alison's cueing is supurb and she generally stays in tempo. When the resistance band is utilized, she allows adequate time for the band to be properly placed. Although there are the usual "beginner modifications," they generally are not referred to this way and I think that's a big hint that this is not quite the place for beginners to start. (Speaking of which, the only downside of the entire workout is that Alison gets a little bossy with Emily, who is performing the modifications.) The cardio portions are very challenging, even when one opts out of the plyometric power options available. The resistance portions are excellent as well. I was particularly impressed by the ab portion at the end! I highly recommend this workout for intermediate and above exercisers.
Alison does it again! September 11, 2008

Once again FIRM instructor Alison Davis did a great job of delivering a fun and effective workout. I can't believe how quickly the 55+ minutes went by. She incorporated a lot of new and different cardio moves that we haven't seen in FIRM workouts before. The lower body workout using the loop is great as well, you can feel your muscles engaging immediately. She ends it with a good ab routine using a few new moves. I suggest previewing the workout once or twice before actually doing the workout.
Awesome workout!!! September 7, 2008

I just completed this workout for the first time and it is AWESOME!! I started using The Firm in February and this is by far the best one yet! The cardio sections were fun and almost felt a little like a dance class again. Alison does a good job with cueing, so it is easy to pick up the footwork. The band is a great tool for adding resistance for the lower body and abs. The one caveat with this workout is that it would be hard to keep pace if you are not already familiar with some of the Firm's standard moves. Dangerous Curves Ahead will be a great addition to my workout rotation!!
 Great but one problem September 28, 2008

This workout really burns calories! The cardio has some fun, unique moves I really enjoy. The problem I have with it is that the performers other than Alison aren't very nice to watch. One seems to have a deformity of her belly and it is very distracting and unpleasant. One of the performers looks like a skeleton with hair and the other two are chubby. I like to watch performers who look like they have improved their bodies by doing the workout - that helps motivate me. Watching these women is very discouraging.
