I am right there with you guys. I lov(ed) the FIRM too - Vol 1, Parts, and Tortoise and Hare kept me in shape all through college and beyond. I still work Standing Legs into my rotation today - ouchee!! - but this new stuff from GoodTimes, um, leaves something to be desired. Nonetheless, I continued to order for the sake of having variety and in the off chance that I'll learn something new and effective - BSS1 (well, OK) BSS2 (a stick?? why not just a barbell?? and is it just me or did the instructors all look like they GAINED weight since BSS1??), and finally BSS3. That is when I gave up. After numerous calls to cust. serv. and 3 replacement boxes, I finally own one that doesn't slide, crack in the middle and the legs unfold - but do I really want it???
I'll make use of the ones I have that I can tolerate - but I won't be ordering more. Now if Cathe comes out with a new series...YEAH BABY!!
PS - What do you think would happen if the FIRM instructors attempted to do a Cathe workout??? }(
