I love this video!!!!!!!!!!!!
I must say I have a few videos from The Firm, & this one is my absolute fave! It's 55 mins, but trust me it just flies by! Allie rocks! It never fails, every time I do this workout I break into a crazy sweat! You don't need to purchase "The Firm Sculpting stick". You'll do fine with hand weights & a broom stick (or something).
Maximum Cardio Burn will do what it advertises!
This workout, led by Allie Del Rio, is a 55 minute long cardio and ab workout. The equipment used in the video is the firm fanny lifter and sculpting stick. You could use any sort of step you own, a broomstick, and a light pair of dumbbells to substitute.
This is a classic firm cardio workout, combining low-impact aerobics, step aerobics, and strength segments. Allie mixes it up frequently. Just when you start to get really tired she changes the segment, which helps keep it interesting.
As an intermediate/advanced exerciser, I got through it easily, although I definitely got a good cardio workout. The choreography is interesting, but not too complex. I will say, however, I know some beginning exercisers who only made it through the first fifteen minutes the first time they did it. The ab section is challenging. Definitely a worthwhile addition to your fitness DVD collection.
This workout utilizes the Fanny Lifter and the Sculpting Stick, but I would recommend using neither for the first couple of times through the workout to get the moves down, it is still rather effective without the step. There is some complicated choreography for the first time user, but Allie does a good job breaking it down. There are 6 mini routines, each one does an 8, 4, then 2 set breakdown of the moves. Because the workout is divided into segments, it is easy to pause, catch your breath, drink some water, and then start back up. The instructor has great cueing, and once I got a hold of The Firm's vocabulary I had no trouble keeping up. The segments have a kickboxing routine, sculpting, cardio, and a few use the fanny lifter for sculpting. There is a longer ab routine that is sure to have you sweating the first couple of times through. I just wish that they had held the stretches for a longer amount of time. All in all, I like it, and would buy it again.
