 Good workout, horrible leader July 26, 2008

I have done this workout several times now. It starts out very slow, the first 15 min have a lot of down time, pretty long breaks between sets for my taste. After those 15 min however, it does pick up. There are some great "mid section" moves which I really like. Lots of lunges and dips of course. It is an overall good total body toning workout. That being said Annie Lee is terrible! She seems very sweet and well meaning but just a bad cuer! She doesn't tell you whats coming up (eg which foot leads off, when to hold the move, when to go to 3 repetitions instead of 1, etc) She says "last one" AFTER the last one. Her words are generally confusing and unclear. I could go on and on but the gist is that you feel like she is just someone in the class, definitely not the leader. It feels like she expects you to already know the routine. I have done it several times so far so I am getting very familiar with the routine so her cuing mistakes are mainly an annoyance for me at this point, but it is extremely annoying. I will continue to do this because of the great moves, at least until I find a workout that is just as good with a better instructor.
 Great workout. Love it. Great lead and choreography. Get it! July 26, 2008

This is the only workout that I fell for/was extremely drawn to while previewing it after I received it this evening. I very much like Annie's direct but cheerful approach (reminiscent of the Firm instructors of old--Tracie Long, Susan Harris)and the moves--simple, effective, and unique. It was nice not to hear "now one more and we'll add on", to do a workout without impact, and to experience the slight burn of deliberate moves choreographed inventively. I worked up a sweat, but this workout--the perfect introduction to The Firm body shaping exercises (as the back cover copy states)--did not leave me drenched, which I liked very much. I have a variety of workouts and don't feel the need to pump heavy weights, do 16 reps of everything, and be drenched in sweat after every workout. It was nice to feel worked out and revived after doing this workout. The 25-minute express workout will be perfect to do in the mornings before work and/or when you want a short, compact workout. Absolutely wonderful workout. Excellent job Firm and Annie! Excellent job!
Problems with Cuing June 8, 2008

I love this DVD but think that there are surprisingly multiple cuing errors that really distract me...many more than their other videos (maybe she was nervous). Regardless I do love the workout and can feel the difference - does what it says.
Great Sculpting June 4, 2008

The FIRM keeps putting out the best! I love this workout. Never boring. It is a strictly sculpting workout, no cardio on this one. I was ready for a new DVD, and I had that "good" soreness the following day. Thumbs up!
GREAT SCULPTING!!! May 30, 2008

Annie Lee has come a long way. Her cuing is a little slow in some places but after doing the DVD a couple of times you got it anyway. I own almost every firm made and was a little disappointed at first with the new format(I missed the box) But I have since come around. As true with all the DVD's you may have to heavy up in some places if you are a experienced exerciser and rotate your videos to get the total benefits. Try alternating Time crunch with Rebecca S or the new Cardio overdrive and Boot camp with Allison Davis they are perfect companions to this new video!!!!!!
