Customer Reviews

Dissapointing
After reading all of the positive feedback for this product, and even some negative reviews which claimed that the workout was for beginners, I bought this DVD. Unfortunately I did not find it suitable for a real beginner. None of the moves are explained or demonstrated slowly enough to grasp if you are not already used to aerobics, and the constantly switching camera angle - presumably used to keep you interested - makes it impossible to just mirror the instructors moves. I bought this DVD as a cheaper alternative to gym membership, which is out of my price-range, but it really isn't a suitable replacement. If you don't know how to chasse and samba already, then this product is not for you.

Suprisingly good actually.
The Firm UItimate Fat Burning Workout [2006]

After reading some of the reviews I decided to give this workout a go. I've never heard of The Firm until browsing on Amazon. I regularly go to the gym and have loads of excersise dvds that I workout at home with so I wasn't a notive when I got this.

I think this is a very good intermediate workout that makes you feel like you have done something rather than some celebrity dvds which don't and are disappointing.

I liked the fact that I can fit this into my busy day and that it is only 40 minutes, which is good for those days you don't have enough time for a full on workout.

I disagree with others that the instructors timing and cues are out. If you are used to cardio workouts and gym classes the prompts are fine. Alison is very pleasant and not annoying like I thought she might be. The moves both with and without weights are easy to follow and you don't stand there looking dazed trying to figure out what to do.

My only critisisms are that you don't get enough time for a quick drink and the ab work seems a bit pointless to me. Maybe I'm doing it wrong!!

Does exactly what it says
I have tried many workout dvd's but i like this on the best so far.
It really does work your whole body and I am starting to see changes - my clothes aren't tight - result!!
I would reccomend this to anyone new to exercise or not, you really feel like you've done something and the time flies.
