The BSS3 is introducing yet another prop: it's a step-like device that can be set up at an angle for lunges. I think it's called the box? It seems similar in some ways to the Ramp that Gin Miller developed, and I know that some people at videofiteness are interested in BSS3, but are thinking of buying the Ramp, which is sturdier, rather than the "box," which looks like a cheap piece of @#&@! If this is like previous Firm offerings, the kit will initially be available only with the new gizmo, but the DVD's/videos will probably show up in Walmart and on QVC after a while.
There is a bunch of information on this system available at videofitness.com. Here's what I've been able to gleen from the posts.
The gadget in this system is called the box. It is actually a rectangle and can be adjusted to be just the box height, 8 inches tall, or inclined at one end to become a ramp. They are producing 8 videos to go with this box, although I think as with previous systems you'll get 3 along with the box and the other 5 will be available as a separate group. I think the longest video is around 50 minutes with a majority of them being around 30-35 minutes. I believe this will be very similar to Gin Miller 'the Ramp' as Goodtimes is distributing both. Apparently a ramp can make certain exercises like lunges more effective for the muscle and less impacting on the joints.
Not too sure about this Firm system. I have both BSS1 and BSS2 and find them each to be okay (I do prefer the first system over the second). IMO, the workouts just seem to be getting shorter and less intense with each offering. I guess I'll wait to see the informercial or see it as a TSV on QVC before deciding to purchase or not. I believe they are trying to get this shipping February so I suspect the informercial would start airing around that time as well.

The box will also take the place of the Fanny Lifter in this series as it raises up to 14" for leg presses. There are 3 videos coming with the box, Complete Body Sculpting around 45 minutes led by Christa, Total Muscle Shaping around 45 minutes led by Stephanie, and Fat Blasting Cardio led by Lisa. If you pre-order from the Firm website, you also get Firm Power Yoga led by Kirsten. There are 3 more coming out later called Advanced Cardio Express by Lisa, Express Total Body Sculpting by Pam, and Hips & Thighs plus Abs by Pam. All but the first 2 mentioned are around 30 minutes.

I think that I will wait to see the 60-second videos that Collagevideo.com offers. If Goodtimes starts shipping in February, Collage Video will probably get them in March. I am always looking for 30-minute videos for days when I need to move but can't get it together for a Cathe video. Thanks for the information!!
