he Firm is just simply one of the best workouts for the money, and when you consider the price of joining a health club, it's downright cheap. Add to that visible results in 10 workouts (which I have seen) and it's worth twice the price. My only problem is, at 5 feet tall, the steps (when stacked) are hard, but I pull through. Over a month or two, you'll be glad you persevered. I hate cardio, so this one DVD has given me the results I desire without having to jump around. I break up my workout into three days so I stay motivated and don't give up - lower body one day, upper body the next, and then abs. By the time I've done one full three-day rotation, my entire body feels stronger. I've gone from a size 10 to a loose size 8, and my goal is to hit size 4 by summer. Starting so early in the year, it's gonna happen. If you've never tried any other Firm videos, this a good one to start with, hard enough (with additional weights) for a more fit trainer, and just simple enough to get a coach potato into the zone. And if you've got the courage, do what I did. Take out your digital camera (and a tripod, if you have one), take a picture of yourself from all sides (not sucking in the stomach), do The Firm, then take another photo in about 3 weeks. When you start to see the definition in your stomach, butt and thighs, that will keep you motivated more than any of these quotes! I stick my new "after" photos on my refrigerator once a month; I'm so proud! For anyone who's said this is too easy, up your weights. This is a workout you can almost NOT grow out of. Ultimately, I think this is a fabulous workout for women who don't want to be bulky, but long and lean.
