Binding: VHS Tape EAN: 9781568120041 Format: Color, NTSC ISBN: 6301413229 Label: Live / Artisan Manufacturer: Live / Artisan Number Of Items: 1 Publisher: Live / Artisan Release Date: May 16, 2000 Running Time: 60 minutes Studio: Live / Artisan Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Interval workouts incorporate a variety of activities that are powerful and short in duration. These intervals create an anaerobic workout that forces the body to adjust to variations of intensity and motion. Interval training has the real potential to burn fat and build strength. The Firm: Body Sculpting Basics utilizes these same aerobic and anaerobic components to create a 60-minute workout that promotes strength and stamina. Instructor Susan Harris presents simple dance-style aerobic combinations and weightlifting techniques that are sure to make you break a sweat. This video is somewhat dated (lots of '80s-style leg warmers and traditional dance aerobic movements), but the content is so stellar that it would more appropriately be coined as a fitness classic. Pliés, squats, and split-leg lunges work the major muscles of the lower body, while lateral raises, curls, and push-ups concentrate on the upper body. Light weights (5 to 8 pounds) are used throughout this workout, and a set of ankle weights may be helpful if you are looking for a challenge. Cueing comes quickly and Harris does not give much information on form or body alignment. Therefore, beginners should watch the informational portion of this video (the segment immediately before the workout) in order to train as confidently and safely as possible. This is a brilliantly designed program that merges weight training and cardio in an effective and approachable (not to mention quick) package. --Olivia Voigts Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Little Asian Review, Oklahoma city.Hey, I am back again buying the same tape..Out of all the firm videos, this was my only favorite. Mine was all sctrached out and can't make a copy..If you are motivated and patience this tape can make you feel like to the bone..ouch!!!worthed!! and feel good about yourself..In time you fine all those, 3, 5, 8, and 10 pounds easier and increase to heavier pound..Sounded like I am advertising..I am just a normal little asian person...Have fun!! Rating: - Best lower body shaper!I have all of the new and all of the classic videos. By far, if you want a great workout dont wast your money on the new videos, spend it on completing your classic firm collection. This workout is so tough, but it gets easier. And when it does add more weights. Would definatly recommend to beginers to advanced.[...] Rating: - Best Workout EVER!I started working out with Jane Fonda at 20 years old after having my first child, and between her tape and Richard Simmons, I got back into shape. Shortly thereafter, I discovered Susan Harris's Total Body workout, I couldn't believe how difficult it was! I have continued using this tape now for about 25 years and even compared to all the new workouts (including Tae-Bo) and including personal training at the gym, I can honestly say that this workout is still one of the most challenging workouts ...

I HAVE BOUGHT OVER 100 EXERCISE TAPES OVER THE YEARS BUT THEY DON'T COMPARE TO "THE FIRM" AS FAR AS RESULTS AND FUN. VOLUME I, 2, 3, 4, AND 5 ARE THE ABSOLUTE BEST!! AND THIS ONE IS THE BEST OF ALL. I WORE OUT THE ORIGINAL ONE I BOUGHT. THAT'S WHY I NEEDED THIS ONE Rating: - still the best!after having tried several other workouts, this is still my favorite. 22 years later its still the best!!! |
