The FIRM: Super Cardio Sculpt Review

The FIRM: Super Cardio SculptNancy Tucker, 2002

This is a 40 min cardio workout led by Nancy with 4 background exercisers-Libby provides beginner modifications. The set is bright and white with blue accents in the background. You will need your Fanny Lifter or another step and a set of light dumbbells for this workout.

This is a moderately choreographed (but nothing dancy or hard to follow) cardio workout. Nancy keeps things moving right along and really keeps the heart rate up. She alternates floor aerobics, 4 limb floor aerobics, step aerobics, and tall bax climbs to keep things interesting and prevent boredom.

The routines are your typical Firm fare without being boring or repetitive. Some of the aerobics include: tri-star, straddle step, V step, side step, grapevine, knee ups on the floor and step, ham curls on the step, tall box climb with dumbbells, and the likes thereof.

Done as is I would rate this a lower intermediate workout because Nancy doesnt really bump up the intensity all that much. There is a lot of low impact and they only use the short section of the Fanny Lifter. I wore my weighted gloves, used the 8" section of the FL, and added in plyos and bigger arm movements and I got a GREAT sweaty cardio workout. I enjoyed this w/o and dont use it enough!
