Great instructor leads a fun yet intense lower body workout!
This is one of the newest workouts from the Firm, and I like it a lot. It's not quite as tough as Firm Lower Body Sculpt 1 (an older all-standing lower body workout), but it is more aerobic and still quite challenging. Plus, it was nice to see instructor Kelsie Daniels again--she looks just as good as in her old Firm/FitPrime days!
Kelsie moves very quickly through a 5-minute warm-up (I had a little trouble keeping up with her transitions the first time through). She adds interesting twists to basic moves such as bob & weave, knee ups, outer thigh lifts, and inner thigh touches; the warm-up concludes with a moving stretch for the hip flexors, calves, and quads. The main part of the workout is structured so that you do a toning series on one leg, do a short (30-40 seconds) cardio burst, and then repeat the toning series on the other leg. Kelsie cues either heavy or medium weights for each series; since it was my first time through and I was already pre-exhausted from...
Really great dvd :-)
This is a fantastic workout. It's enjoyable, fun and makes you work hard. It's aerobic interval training and the toning is geared for the lower body. By working these larger muscles, you not only keep your heart rate up at all times, but you burn fat more. It's easy to follow and Kelsie is a good instructor. There are five segments and it takes about a half hour for the whole routine. This is good if you are short on time, but want an effective workout. You need some dumbells and you're good to go.
I like The Firm dvds. This is no exception. Because it's non complicated and fun, this is becoming a workout I do at least every second day. I enjoy it and hope you will too.
Excellent addition to my collection
Kelsey's cues were excellent as usual, tough workout that works your entire lower body, while working up a sweat. Highly reccommend!
