The Firm - Total Body Toner

Buy This Item The Firm - Total Body Toner by Good Times Video  Available from Amazon  $12.99  on 1-6-2009     This is a great workout, what isn't to like? The warmup is thorough and interesting (the push up variation isn't one I've seen before) and the variety of moves and different weights is fabulous. I like that they use their own weights and not the cardio weights. While there really isn't any cardio, it definately gets your heart rate up with the changes in moves and resistance. I really enjoyed the ab portion in this workout, more so that the ones in the other Firm dvd's I have- I liked the weighted bridges and the variations on working the obliques. The modifications are good if you don't like bouncing around or going deep into lunges/squats. Allie is an awesome instructor- she's informational and motivating without being annoying and her cuing is impeccable. Definately worth the $$ and worth including in a rotation. Reader Reviews I'm really disappointed with this video. I thik Allie's queuing is much better than some of the new Firm instructors but the video was still a bit tough to follow, mostly due to the really poor camera work. Most of the time the shots were very tightly zoomed when I really wanted a whole body shot so I could actually see how to do the moves. This seems to be a problem for all the new Firm videos. I won't be buying another one. As for the music, I'm not sure who it was trying to appeal to; it goes from rock to electronica, to disco and isn't right at all for the pacing. The only good part about it is that the music is so soft you can tune it out.
