The Firm – Body Sculpting System 2 – Complete Aerobics & Weight Training
I had the complete opposite experience with this workout than did the previous reviewer. The combination of doing upper and lower body exercises simultaneously caused my heartrate to soar which caused symptoms of overtraining.
Many people love this video but I just had a bad experience with it.

If you are in relatively good or even average shape and are looking to really tone up and sculpt your body, this isn’t the workout for you. It didn’t get my heart rate up and I didn’t break a sweat. The instructor spent too much time in between exercises to explain what was next, too much down time. I actually got bored.
The sculpting stick was not needed, and the ‘fanny lifer’ was used to just sit on much of the time when the exercises could have been modified standing or kneeling.
I am extremely disappointed. I wasn’t sore or challenged. This might be a good workout for someone who is extremely overweight and needs to go at a slower pace, but anyone looking to drop 5-20 lbs or firm up this isn’t for you!

I have a few of the newer The Firm videos and I have the same complaints about all of them. The aerobics segments are extremely confusing and hard to follow. The instructors speak way to fast and their movements are too fast as well. By the time I figured out one movement they were already onto the next. Also, I think it’s important to have a good warm up before getting into any workout and you won’t find that here. I also found it very annoying the way you have to keep moving your fanny lifter, sculpting stick and weights out of the way as the segments change. It completely interrupts the workout. The weight training segments are decent, but for the most part, I didn’t get a very good workout from any of the videos. For me these videos were a waste of money.

This is undoubtedly a great overall workout. However, I don’t find myself wanting to do it as often as some of my other DVDs and videos because the instructors and the overall tone of it seems stiff/fake to me. I’d say that’s true about the whole “The Firm” series though. So if you like the rest of the series, you’ll probalby be fine with this too. They just don’t get me motivated to work out.

I was very disapointed with this video. If you are not a pro dancer these steps tend to go way to fast. By the time I got the steps, she had moved on to the next move. She talked a lot without explaining much. The sculpting stick was hardly used to make the purchase worthwhile. A broom handle would work just as well given her lack of use. Overall I have used much more effective video workouts. Don’t waste your money.
