Hi,
I have all six of the Firms new workouts featuring their Sculpting Stick. I'm in the second week of the following six week rotation.
Monday: Aerobics and Weights---to me this is the toughest of the six workouts. It is circuit style and last about an hour and I think it is a lot of fun. It is a total body workout.
Tuesday: Calorie Killer---this is my least favorite of the six. It is all aerobic with some very light upper body movement during a couple of the routines. They use the two 2lb 'twigs' that come off the ends of the sculpting stick. They also do some step on the 17" Fanny Lifter. The choreography is very simple, but I still don't think it is very safe for me so I just use the blue piece. The instructor doesn't cue very well, and her transitions are a bit sloppy, but I make it work. I think this one is about 45 minutes. :9
Wednesday: Firm Abs---This one is an all ab video with three different 10min (approx) ab sections each growing in intensity. I do the whole video and add about 20 minutes of stretching.
Thursday: Total Sculpt plus Abs---This one is another circuit style workout. It has the best music off all six videos and I really enjoy it. It is more weight training than cardio but there are a few short cardio sections. I go pretty heavy on this one. The video is about an hour.
Friday: Max. Calorie Burn plus Abs---this one is all cardio much like Calorie Killer, but with a better instructor, better choreography and better music. It does include some light standing leg work and a good ab section. This one was a lot of fun and it last about an hour.
Saturday: Upper Body Sculpt---This one surprised me. It looks a lot easier than it is...I was sweating buckets! I just wish there were more chest work, they do a lot of pushups though. This one is about 40 minutes.
Sunday: off
I hope this helps a little bit. A rotation Calendar also comes with the system.
Have fun!
