The Firm Questions

[China]

Hi everyone,
Go Steelers.....next year?!! Congrats Patriots' Fans!

I heard that Firm was sold; is this old news?! I cannot believe it! Does anyone know any details? I have to say I was a real Firmie before I "met" Cathe on my VCR. I have given my Firms a long break because I only wanted to do Cathe. I realize that this was a heated debate on a recent thread. I don't mean to reopen a can of worms here. However, I too was losing some motivation, and these aging bones were getting stressed or something. So, I recently dusted off my Firms, and kids, I am working!!! I really have missed their workouts. Tell me too, sometimes you want several circuits that gets your cardio and strength in an hour(yes, I have CTX). Schedules can be crazy. I have learned a lesson for myself anyway, that variety helps. I adore Cathe, but I love the Firm, too. Opinions on Super Cardio/Super Sculpt?---don't have those. And anyone on the new set that includes a new "step"? I would appreciate all opinions positive and negative, because you are "an educated crowd". Thanks in advance! Take care all!

Hi China, I can answer 1 question. I have Super Sculpt and I feel it's a good workout. One of the Tougher sculpt tapes they have out. I don't have SC. I perfer running for my cardio.

Hi China

The Firm was not sold but a company called GoodTimes is distributing them just as BMG and Artisan did in the past. I do believe without the GoodTimes money no new videos would have been made.

The "Supers" are great! I love them both. Please note they are supposedly not "parts" tapes but for some reason the Warm Up outfits and exercises are different from the "Body of the Workout" outfits and I believe the cool down/stretch work out is even different! We were told they just taped several warm ups and cool downs and then later decided which ones to put with the tape. Well.. whatever all the footage is new and they really are great workouts, high energy etc.

I noticed many people do a total Cathe rotation, then a total Firm rotation. I mix them up all the time and do Cathe's and Firms in the same week.

Hi China,
I just bought Super Cardio recently and I loved it! It's definitely different than Cathe's style of cardio but variety is fun. I just recently started doing some FIRM tapes mixed with my Cathe tapes and I'm having a blast. My two left feet appreciate the Firm's style of cardio, that's for sure. Of course, I'm even having some difficulty with the Firm's footwork. That's pretty sad, huh? The FIRM is all new to me, for whatever reason I never gave them a try, until 2 weeks ago. Variety is lots of fun!

Hi China,
I also meant to ask you if you have been to the FIRM forum to read about the new videos. The website is www.firmdirect.com
and then choose firm forum, then choose review videos at bottom left. Someone has reviewed all 3 new videos and also went into great detail about the new step (tall box) that comes with it. Hope that helps in some way.
