Summary: Lives up to it's name
Comment: I love this workout. Lots of cardio, not too complicated. You do need light and heavy dumbells but no step. A lot of the moves are newer for The Firm and they are fun but challenging, really working stabilizing muscles and relying on balance. It's 45 minutes with a great warmup and cool down. I do wish there was an abdominal section at the end. Some of the exercises claim they are working your abs but I didn't feel it at all. Maybe that is the best kind of exercise?

Summary: Great
Comment: This is my favorite workout from the TransFirmation set. It's not too long and burns a lot of calories (between 450-550). It takes a couple of workouts to learn the moves, but once you learn them, the video is fun.

Summary: Fun, Fun, Fun ~ Oh, and a great workout!
Comment: I love this workout ~ I have included it in my rotation five times so far, and it has not lost its luster. I get bored easily, and have a huge collection of workout vids. The 45 minutes fly by due to the fun and varied moves, as well as the pace. The weight segments are great...I normally find weight segments in vids too short to be effective, but Alison manages to squeeze enough reps in to make it worthwhile. I use 5-8lbs, and this definitely keeps the blood pumping for me. I won't break down the entire program, as others have done this... so, the verdict for me is exhilarating cardio, strength, and motivating music... what more can you ask for?? Definitely a keeper.

Summary: Great return to the Firm!
Comment: I am a more advanced home exerciser, but I really loved this DVD! I had done a lot of the Firm a few years ago and loved it then, but had fallen away from the Firm in the last couple of years because everything seemed like the "same old, same old". I read some good reviews for this one, so I gave it a try. I'm really glad that I did! The cueing is great, the moves are more innovative than I've seen from the Firm in the past. Allison is a very pleasant instructor. It's a nice break from some of the harder DVD's I usually do, but I still feel like I'm getting a good workout. I highly recommend!

Summary: Imagine jumping around acting a fool and this is this workout!
Comment: I was so excited to get this DVD. When I placed it in the DVD player, I had such high hopes; they quickly were deflated.
The warmup was very short and then she jumped right into a bunch of disjointed moves that involved more hand eye coordination than anything else. For example, swinging the arms in one direction while the legs are going in another direction while raising knees and kicking.
After this segment, she tells you to get the weights and then you use more hand eye coordination to lift weights in an alternate fashion, while moving to the side, and moving your legs.
After that segment, it was more swinging the arms and jumping around. It keeps going like this.
This was an instructor's attempt to turn a dance routine into a cardio workout; it was not a workout. This is what I do when I am bored and want to just act a fool in the house.
I do not recommend this DVD to people wanting a serious exercise workout. THis is more for people that have time to kill to have fun.
