Why I love The Firm

Just wanted to update everyone on my "The Firm" sucess! I love this program, it makes you feel so strong and starts to "lean" you up so fast! In just one month, I lost 1/2 inch everywhere except my calves where I gained 1/2 inch, which is good b/c my calves are on the slim side. I also lost 4 pounds, it doesn't seem like all that much, but I can tell in my clothes. The best part is a co-worker commented on seeing that I was slimming down, she said she noticed my pants are fitting differently, ( more room in the thighs!!!! HORRAY!!!! Just where I needed the most help! ) I recommend this for anyone who wants to firm and tone up... just check it out pleeeeaaassseee.... The Firm PEACE! [img]/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I'm going to set up a work-out schedule for next week with my collection of THE FIRM videos.

Caramela,

Congrats on the bod success so far!

How does The Firm compare to Tae Bo Get Ripped in terms of intensity level? do you work out as hard or is The Firm more or less challenging?

I recall you used to use Tae Bo once (which I now have).

Also, with the daily exercising, how are you coping with the hair? are you washing/COwashing after each session and air drying or rollar setting still?

Thanks! [img]/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I think that the firm is so much more challenging than any other workout I've done. It's HARD, but the results you get are awesome.
I am doing shampoo washes 2x a week and conditioner only washes the other days I workout. You'd be amazed at how sweaty I get! Then I'm just scrunching and letting it airdry, it waves up quite nicely.

Thanks Caramela, your hair routine sounds somewhat similar to mine.

I'm amazed to hear that The Firm is actually MORE challenging. Whaaaaaaa? I didn't think it got any worse than the Advanced Tae Bo! which really kicks my [censored] [img]/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Thanks for the input. One final question: Is the Firm like a step workout that uses hand weights?

Thanks.

It's not really like a step aerobics workout if that's what you mean. It's very intense body sculpting. You do lots of lunges, squats, leg presses, back work, arm work & shoulder work. It's awesome. You use the fanny lifter for a variety of things. There is one step aerobics-like segment in one of the tapes but that's just one of the many things you do w/the workout. I am hooked!

Thanks it sounds very much like a body conditioning type of work out using weights to sculpt.

Keep up the good work!

I'm jealous!
I used to loooove The FIRM! My body really changed for the better with those workouts. But re-occuring shoulder/neck problems made FIRM workouts impossible for me. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
If you have any tapes with segments led by Tamela Hastie or Dale Brabahm (sp?) look for the only black woman in the background. That's me! Really--I'm not kidding.
Very short hair! [img]/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I don't know the names of the tapes because they changed the names three or four times. And the segments were spliced into a bunch of other tapes. At least nine...
And I only got paid for two! [img]/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Alright Girl!!!!!

What is your workout schedule? Like, what tapes do you do and on what days?

I think you should be like our "Firm Club Leader at LHCF." All of us FIRMERS can check in with one another and keep each other accountable. What do you think?
