Hey Amy...you don't like this new workout tape, do you?
LOL
p.s. I have always hated Firm tapes. Just not my thing I guess.

RE: The Firm

You know, I never tried, no make that finished, a Firm tape. I had received Tough Tape I or II (not sure) and starting laughing when I started doing it and said to myself, "I don't think so" and then I traded it. I do own Standing Legs from a trade and someday will try in an effort to give the Firm a chance I suppose. I should at least preview it as it has been a virgin in my collection for years now.

Hi Kim!

I am not a real big Firm fan, but I do like Standing Legs a lot! It is a great workout. It will have you sweating, huffing & puffing bigtime. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

<<The Cardio Sculpt could not raise the heartrate of a jackrabbit! It is NOT cardio -- it is a waste of time -- same ol' Firm moves rehashed with instructors with elfin voices.

The instructors and cast seem stilted and fake. They give this stupid wave and vacuous look as the "Lead" introduces them. I get the impression they are all a bunch of dilettante southern belles with too much time on their Lilly White hands! Oh, to not have a career and be able to frequent a gym 8 hours per day. If those workouts gave those women their bodies, then my butt can sing show tunes! >>

Amy, you are KILLING ME!!! LOL! "Elfin voices" -- lord, I'll think about the Munchins from the Wizard of Oz whenever I hear them.

Thank god for Cathe

I've used the Firm for years and still like their variety. I expect I'll get the new workouts eventually.
But now Cathe's got me spoiled with dvds, and I'm determined to not buy anymore vhs workouts.
So if the Firm ever puts their workouts on dvd's, I'll probably get the newer ones, but in the meantime I've got plenty to do with my old Firm tapes and new Cathe dvds!
