The Firm: Body Sculpting System - Body Sculpt

Anyone who is interested in this program may not know that this is the second of a 3 DISC'S EXERCISE PROGRAM. If TONING is what is wanted or mostly needed, this is the one to go for. Familiar Face JENNIFER CARMAN is the "LEAD INSTRUCTOR", WITH THE SAME INSTRUCTORS WHO WERE ON "CARDIO SCULPT". And as before, the exercisers are instructed to follow LIBBY FOR MODIFICATION.This Program isn't as strenuous as "CARDIO SCULPT" is. I must say that I prefer this Program to "CARDIO SCULPT", though it does partner up with it perfectly. And this PROGRAM IS NOT AEROBIC. This is why it goes so PERFECTLY WITH CARDIO SCULPT. Originally there was a ROTATION CHART when this was purchased as a set, and I haven't a clue what happened to mine. One of my "ROTATION IDEAS" is to rotate this program with "AB SCULPT" and maybe a half hour Dance or Walking Program. Either way, I'm not going over an hour. Another idea is to rotate this program with "BODY SCULPT". But it works out great. JENNIFER CARMAN WAS THE LEAD INSTUCTOR ON ANOTHER "FIRM EXERCISE PROGRAM" titled "BETTER BODY AND BUNS", which was when I first remembered her.JENNIFER'S INSTRUCTIONS are clear, as she carefully lead the exercisers on their way to a better fit body. She seems to enjoy being a "MASTER INSTRUCTOR". Though I owned this Program before, I read some of the reviews. I was surprised when someone actually said this program did not work for her. I'm just wondering how could anyone use this program and not noticed any Toning, Firming, some Slimming or even any Muscle Building! I don't know if the "GUARANTEED VISIBLE RESULTS IN 10 WORKOUTS!", IS STILL IN EFFECT. BUT NOBODY IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE "JENNIFER", "ALLY", "LISA", "CHRISTA" OR "LIBBY" IN JUST TEN WORKOUTS. I think that it was REFERRING TO WHAT I MENTIONED EARLIER. NO ONE IS GOING TO HAVE AN HOURGLASS FIGURE IN JUST 10 WORKOUTS: FLAT TUMMY, SLENDER JIGGLE FREE THIGHS, FIRMER UPLIFTED BEHIND, AND SEXY ARMS AND SHOULDERS. Even if a person doesn't change their diet and still eat horribly, like I do, they should still see some results. NOTHING FROM NOTHING LEAVES NOTHING. IF YOU DO NOTHING, NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. YOU HAVE TO PUT IN FULL EFFORT TO GET BETTER RESULTS. I ALWAYS HAVE TO PUT IN AT SIX GOOD MONTHS TO GET BETTER RESULTS. OF COURSE I GET SOME RESULTS FROM CONSTANT USE FOR AWHILE. I bought this because it is part of a 3 Discs Exercise Program, that I had years ago. I was at a Local Wal*Mart and I saw THE TWO PART FANNY LIFTER, WHICH INCLUDED THIS ENTIRE PROGRAM, EXCEPT ON "VHS". I still have the "VHS" PROGRAM, FACTORY SEALED. Maybe I'll sell it. This was around the time I came across THE FIRM: BODY SCULPTING SYSTEM 2. I bought that too.

I'm not really one to write reviews for things, but I feel as though these workouts deserve recognition. My first experience with The Firm was a few years ago when I decided to buy and try the Transfirmer series of workouts. I wasn't necessarily a beginner at that time, but man..those workouts kicked my butt! I then ordered the previous body sculpting series videos to rotate to avoid boredom. I had great success with them but for whatever reason, I ended up joining a local gym and the The Firm videos/step began collecting dust. Fast forward to present, a husband and almost 2 year old daughter later, I decided I needed something that worked for me at home bc trying to coordinate a toddler to your desired gym schedule isn't necessarily the easiest task (not to mention wasting so much gas). It dawned on me to re-order some of The Firm workouts, new and older DVDs; no more driving 30 minutes to the gym for me! Let me tell you, as someone who is by no means a beginner when it comes to fitness, these workouts are no joke. I got a better workout with these DVDs than I did at any class or time on the treadmill/elliptical. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who wants to get in shape and get there FAST. I can tell a change in my body already-they promise results in 10 workouts, but you'll see it before then. Trust me. What's also great is that you can make them as easy or as challenging as you desire-increase or decrease your weight. Either way, you'll get a great workout!

When I gain weight like I go back to what works. This works. This would get five stars but there are some flaws in this workout. I ordered this because my VHS version will not play yes I still have VHS versions of thing don't laugh. Working out in the winter in the Midwest can be a challeng I am not hard core enough to jog/ bicycle in sub zero freezing Chicago cold. Add kids and budget and time and will almost never get to the gym. So you need a good and reliable stack of workout tapes that will force you into shape but not take half the day doing it. (P90X with a 45 minute workout are you serious? I have don't have all day to workout!) That is why I always go back to the Firm. That said I noticed now that this is for someone with workout expecience. If you have never worked out before this would be confusing . My sister an aerobics novice and finds this overwhelming. The pace is fast and you better know what a grapevine is because they are not going to explain it to you. The calling and the moves are sometimes off. I'm no rythm queen but I get thrown off at times by the moves and the way she calls them. Maybe it's me but this said it is not so off that you can not complete the workout which is challenging and that is best thing about this workout. The moves are basic and it works your whole body and the dvd can be done half upper body and half lower so no all day workout and it takes a while to outgrown this workout. Again not for newbies to working out cause the pace is fast but for those of us that have falling off the workout wagon and want to get back into shape. This is great.

I like that the DVD was clear and easy to follow. I also really felt a work out since you do a lot of the same move that you were doing traditional weightlifting however they put a different spin on it so you actually using the muscles in a slightly different way. I did not buy the fanny buster and I think it’s the biggest stupid waste of time and money. If you have a step from step aerobics you can use that instead

If you are looking for a new routine by firm instructor Jen, this is NOT new. Different cover but same routine from 2 yrs ago. Very disappointing
