Summary: I love this Video and the Instructor
Review: First I have many many Firm Videos.. I know I didn't like that fact that I had to buy the stick however I had an old step and I simply use that. I am really shocked at some reviewers who said the instructor is out of shape.. Becasue some how Skinny=Equals fit. I am build much like Allie I work out everyday using the Firm Videos for the past 4 year. Get this Video it is great..

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not as good as previous Firm workouts
Review: I bought this dvd expecting the same high-end production as the previous Firm videos and similar challenging workouts. I was disappointed in both respects. I have been an avid Firm follower for the last six years. But since their production has changed (for whatever reason), their workouts lack the same stylish sets, less challenging excercises and even the music doesn't seem as fun. Granted, nice sets and music do not make a workout better, their approach has changed and I felt let down. I don't feel as challenged during the workout. I would definitely recommend the older series of videos. Also, noting on a comment in a previous review about the tatoos on Ali, I also was not too impressed with this. I personally prefer my instructors tatoo-free (or at least in places I can't see them). In earlier videos she didn't have them, so to me it's question of: what was she thinkink?

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Stick with the older Firm series
Review: I found this video to be significantly less challenging than many others in the Firm series. I'd barely broken a sweat by the end. Also, the Abs Section is hardly 5 minutes long.
The format of the DVD isn't broken into segments like some of the others I've used. The entire content of the DVD is in one track, requiring fast-forwarding through the front matter each viewing, a waste of the available technology.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Agree with Tiff
Review: I have to say that as much as I loved the old series and have a new appreciation for the dvd format, its unbelievably annoying to have these workouts all on one track. If you're purchasing a longer workout dvd and wish to skip thru certain sections of the workout for whatever reason, you have to sit there and FF through it instead of being able to skip through track to track like any other dvd. The only one that was even remotely close was the full cardio workout dvd and even that one would have at least three segments thru each track. I just wish they would tailor it more for those who aren't able to take the time for each and every segment.

Summary: Loved this one!
Review: I just started back doing my Firm tapes/DVD 2 weeks ago and thought I would try this one in the set that I just bought first because I love Allie!! I consider myself a beginner/inter but love a challenge and by the time I was done with this video I was sweating and had a great time.. There are so many different moves, styles and fast pace exercises in it that I didn't get bored and will definately be keeping this one in my routine..

I noticed Allie's new tattos right away but they were not distracting at all and as for her look I thought she looked great and very fit.. She is an excellent instructor and makes all the workouts fun with her wonderful energy!!

Summary: Firm Believer
Review: I love this video.I'm at an intermedite to advanced fitness level and felt I got a great workout.I wish it would have had another cardio section to make it a bit longer though.Allie is my favorite firm instructor with a realistic body figure I find achievable.I'm suprised how many people dislike the tattoos.Yes they are noticeable at first (which does not bother me) but If you are putting your all into the workout it should not be a problem.

Summary: i normally dont like cardio
Review: i prefer plain weight training/ sculpting, i have many firm videos and now dvds and they are my #1 choice to lose weight and inches with the least amount of effort.. not saying you work workout within a inch of your life.. you will. and i have had so much success with the Firm. i bought this cause it was such a good deal, i wanted to add cardio and i was bored with the workouts i had. i have workout attention deficit disorder so keeping myself entertained and motivated is a challenge. this dvd was one fun simple moves but still challenging workout that i sweated buckets thru and i'm already feeling. i really liked Allie as an instructor she was energetic and encouraging and informative, in fact i learned tips from more than one exercise that i hadnt realized i was doing not quite right. i stated above i really dont like cardio, but i actually had a fun time going thru the segments and the new twist i loved the different four limb segments. i highly recommend this DVD along with the others.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This is a great Firm workout!
Review: I really liked this workout! I really don't know why people are complaining. Sure, it might not be as hard as previous Firm workouts, such as Body Sculpting Basics (which is still my favorite!) But only The Firm gets me sore in the places right where I need it. The workout is fun and Allie is a great instructor. When I was done, I felt like I got a great workout. This is definitely better than Total Sculpt! By the way, I do not have the sculpting stick, and you certainly do not need it. When you use the twigs, I substitute 3 pound dumbells. I could easily use 5 pounds to challenge myself even more. And my husband built me my own 'fanny lifter'-6,8.and 14 inch really sturdy steps. If you can build one on your own out of wood, do it, it saves a lot of money!
