This 52-minute video from 1992 combines low-impact and step aerobics with strength training. You keep the heart rate elevated for fat burning and cardiovascular conditioning while working the muscles. Jayne Poteet leads a class of fit exercisers of varying ages through a workout that's as tough as you want to make it, depending on how heavy your weights and how high your step. The aerobic moves are basic--no patterns, no complicated footwork--so beginners can manage the workout. The strength moves are sometimes combined with aerobic moves and sometimes isolated, and they are done slowly for safety and effectiveness. This is a well-designed workout except that the largest upper-body muscles (chest and midback) are left for the end (they're most efficiently worked early in a workout) and the shoulder presses start behind the neck (they're safer starting in front of the shoulders). Poteet includes both upper- and lower-body strength moves, but emphasizes the lower body. You'll need a barbell, dumbbells, a tall (14-inch) step, and a medium step. --Joan Price

 good, solid workout February 14, 2008

I've owned and used this video for nearly 10 years. I'm a Jazzercise junkie and use videos when for whatever reason I don't go to Jazzercise. After trying many videos and CDs, The Firm and Gilead, in my opinion, consistently give the best, and safest, workouts. I often turn to this video for a good, all-over workout that isn't too vigorously jumping or dancing. The cuing is excellent and you can ramp up or tone down the weight levels depending on how you feel. I've never used this video with a barbell but use free weights instead, and they work just fine. After all these years I still find this video challenging and don't get tired of it.
Excellent workout August 8, 2007

I have been doing the Firm for years and this is still one of my favorites. I saw another reviewer commenting she previewed the tape and thought the instructors were too into themselves. She obviously never has done any Firms. They are as tough as you want them to be by adding poundage. I love this video because it's low impact but you can still make it difficult by adding heavier weights. The hover squats with the dumbell always makes my butt feel worked. I like the newer Firms but the old ones make me sweat the most. Jayne Poteet is a great instructor.
Works great, just right March 7, 2006

PROs
- This is one of my favorite Firm videos. It's not so easy that you'd get bored or feel under-challenged, not so hard that you'd give up. When you get stronger, just add poundage.
- There's a sufficient variety of exercises and good sequencing to keep you from getting bored and/or too exhausted.
- Step-ups with barbells interspersed with calf pumps are my favorite part, and if your heart wasn't pumping before this segment, it will be soon enough.
- The squats are excellent--you really feel your thighs and legs getting exercised.
- Jayne Poteet is a good instructor, w/ great cueing, counting down the number of reps at every 4 reps (16, 12, 8, 4). This works really well for me because I know I'm getting closer to the end of the set.
- I like the stretch before and after the workout.
CONs
- Not too much of a "con" but I think a longer stretch routine (for all the Firm videos I've tried, actually) would be healthier and more effective.
A Firm Believer since Volume 1 September 20, 2005

This is volume 6
An outstanding workout when you want something a little lighter;but you can add intensity by using a higher step up box. Remember the Firm is into shocking your body so there are moves in this work out that are different -- moves shouldn't be done the same all the time anyway.
Since The Firm dosen't sale these older volumes anymore and this was one of the last true "volumes" it has become a collectors item for those of us that truly know the Firm. Enjoy!
excellent firm workout June 1, 2004
