DVD Reviews of Firm: 500 Calorie Workout
DVD Review: Worst cueing ever and hard to follow!
Summary: 2 Stars
I have several Firm DVDs and the majority of them are great. I honestly don't know how so many people are giving this five stars. I am definitely an intermediate level exerciser and can follow cueing fairly well, especially after I've done the workout two or three times. The cueing in this is terrible. She tells you to do the move as she's already starting to do the move or in the middle of moves or way before a set. It's all over the place. You get no opportunity to go through each step or section of the set several times before building on. It's build on once and then let's put a huge section together. I do like some of the fresh moves and she does interesting/different things with the weights. But, if I have to literally stand and watch just to try and follow some of the cardio moves or miss several changes and parts of moves, how will I ever burn 500 calories? If you are a beginner or on the less than gifted/not a dancer side of coordination, I would skip this one. The bootcamp and cardio overdrive videos with Alison are much better for burning significant calories. I would only recommend this for people who can learn dance moves fairly quickly, say by watching them once.DVD Review: I may be out in left field here...
Summary: 1 Stars
This dvd was so poorly cued (as mentioned by other reviewers) that I found the potential for injury HIGH. I am an intermediate exerciser and have been using dvd's to stay in shape for over 12 years. When you are using compound movements with weights the cuing should be accurate, timely, and in sync with the music and the pace of the exercise none of this is true. I would not recommend this dvd for anyone looking for a safe/effective cardio/weight workout. DVD Review: Hesitant but pleasantly surprised
Summary: 5 Stars
I was hesitant to purchase this video because I was unfamiliar with the instructor; however, I am thrilled. If you want a full hour of high intensity cardio this is the workout for you. Perfect excercise when you know you are going to eat a little extra dessert :) It reminds me of the intensity the firm had back when it started. Plus there are a lot of new moves that I haven't seen in other firm workouts (and I have nearly every one). It was challenging but the moves were so creative it kept me interested. Definately buy this!DVD Review: Different than previous Firm workouts ... lacks the fun factor & the rhythm.
Summary: 2 Stars
I've been a so-called "Firm Believer" for a long time. That being said I ordered this workout thinking it would be similar to previous Firm workouts. I was wrong. Along with a new set, the workout features a new instructor (Kelsie Daniels), and while she isn't horrible, she isn't up to the standard of say ... Jen Carmen, or Allie Strickland. She's lacking ryhthm, and it's difficult to learn a new workout routine when the rhythm isn't there to follow. She's also lacking cueing skills, so you never really know what's coming next because she doesn't announce it beforehand, or even go through the moves once to allow the viewer to become familar with them. That gets really frustrating because before now, Firm workouts have always been well cued. In addition, the workout just isn't "fun". It feels disorderly, if not a bit chaotic in nature, and the movements seem jerky and awkward at times. I give it two stars, and will probably sell it. If you want a 500 calorie workout that's worth your money and time, try something by Cathe Friederich, or an older Firm tape. DVD Review: Music was insync to me
Summary: 5 Stars
I enjoyed this dvd and it was challening. I was able to keep step with the music. If one has trouble keeping rhythm to a beat then it would be difficult for them to keep up with the music. I worked up a sweat and would recommend this workout. I did not feel the music and movements were out of sync.
