Firm Instructors

I'm relatively new to both Cathe and the Firm, but has anyone noticed how the Firm instructors for Body Sculpting System 3 seem almost emaciated! I was so shocked to see this. The other Firm instructors from the past looked incredible healthy to me. But I'm not motivated to work out when I'm looking at the girls in the new videos. I much prefer the workouts from a few years ago.

I don't have the BSS3 system yet. I ordered through Amazon.ca. I did see the infomercial and it bothered me too. I prefer the look of previous years as well.
 
I recently abandoned Firm world (where I lived for 2 years) for Cathe (in May) and I remember the day I got my BSS3 tapes how shocked I was at Christa and one other. (can't remember her name -- she rejoined the Firm instructors from the old days) In previous videos they looked healthy, but in BSS3. . . yowsah! They are unfortunately moving toward an emaciated and implanted world. (although Christa and the other one I mentioned are exceptions to the implant issue)

The videos are really stilted, too. Did you notice that? So carefully scripted and you NEVER see any sweat. One of the first reasons I loved Cathe was that she sounded like she was just talking to you -- not from a memorized script and you saw SWEAT!! You heard her breathing hard! (and her "crew" looks real)

Love Cathe . . .used to love the Firm

I have to say that I absolutely love the newest set of Firm workouts. They are much tougher than the other 2 sets, especially Stephanie's newest cardio workout. I wore my heart rate monitor and I burned 215 calories in only 30 minutes, and I only weigh 126, so I thought that was pretty good.

As far as the instructors? I agree that they looked way too thin. Christa had the flu sometime before shooting and lost almost 20 pounds. She has since gained it back and looks her old self again. Pam says she is naturally thin and likes the way she looks. I have to say that Pam actually looks better, for some reason, in the add-on videos than the set that came with the workouts. And they were all filmed during the same week.

I also would like to see the Firm instructors sweat on camera. The reason they don't is because they film the workouts in sections. Each time you hear the music change, more than likely they stopped for a break. A while back there was a picture posted on the website of the instructors practicing for the videos and they were drenched in sweat.
 
I haven't seen the new workouts/instructors, but I've heard how emaciated two of them look. Seems like with the Firm, you either get the big implants or emaciation. Nancy Tucker looked too thin to me in the BB2 workouts (especially when you think that the camera supposedly adds 10-15 pounds).
 
Did anyone else notice Libby's pooch in her belly? It seemed her choice of clothes brought attention to it. I too think these workouts or more intense. I was pleasantly surprised, I really like these.
