The FIRM Tortoise by Anna Benson with Tracie Long & Susan Harris

Yes it is old, but you will feel it, and you will feel it in the areas where you want it, try the gluts, the upper thighs, and the triceps. Tracie Long you are superb!! She's the bomb. This workout consist of light aerobics and resistance, resistance that includes: forward lunges, backward lunges and leg lifts, each one of the lunges and leg lifts include weights, for the experience person that does exercise, it will be undeniable that you will feel this in the gluts and the frontal and rear thighs, what a synergistic and good combination, this workout is. For the experience person, this will be a challenge for you, you will find yourself huffing and puffing saying "the step again" As the cover says, you will see results, if you remain consistent, you will see results in those problematic areas (glut, thighs and upper arms) your body will be your report card. This is a good workout to do 3 times weekly with a cardio the other day, trust me, if you have any other tapes/DVDs, in resistance, I don't think it will score to high over this one. This is one of the many classic firm workouts that deserves a "Platinum'' It takes about three workouts to tolerate this one, but well worth it. You will not be sorry.

The day I received the dvd I anxiously opened it to review the entire workout! My other copy of the Firm is a VHS and is worn out from years and years of use. During the first review the workout paused several times but only briefly so it was tolerable. Over the next couple of weeks the dvd now stops and the amount of inactivity increases each time. It has become very annoying! Can you please advise what guidelines to follow to get a good copy of the Firm which I really want or to get my money back.

Always happy with the firm. Tracy Long is awesome. Only problem is transitions are quick between exercises and I find myself pausing to adjust weights.

I was very disappointed, I was expecting much more from Tracie Long...This video is OK.The music is rather boring, it's slow, and the cardio segments on the step are very low intensity.I couldn't get my heart rate up at all.The lifting segments are very general, consisting of very few lunges, step ups, and curls.I would recommend this workout for a beginner to the Firm or for pregnant women.If you are someone who is familiar with the older Firm workouts, this probably won't do much for you either.As a side note, The Hare is literally the same thing, it isn't any faster and it includes some general lifting segments.

I bought this DVD because my VHS tape finally just wore out and stopped playing! I've been using this workout for over 10 years, along with others, and find that it is the best for reshaping my body.

Love the video - but can't get this copy to work. Seems to be blank.

This is a great workout! You get a fully chaptered DVD at Collage Video for $14.99. What gives with the ridiculous pricing here?

Love it. Some new moves and I like Tracie Long.
