Quick Callanetics* series with Callan Pinckney has LB work which is a slightly different take than what's considered floor work, and worth considering:
*Quick Callanetics Hips and Behind Quick Callanetics Stomach Quick Callanetics Legs all 3 come on 1 DVD or separate. the 3-workout DVD is chaptered. Stomach is on the floor or seated. Legs is a standing workout. Hips and behind will give you a run for your money.

thanks for your feedback.
I was answering it in the context of daisy's question about floor work.

AWT, heavy weights and tall box appeal to me the most, and I don't necessarily seek floor work, although i'll do it if it's there.

The classics are very unique. And I'm finding a renewed drive to use them. Put on your own cardio mix(lots of cardio mixes with the same beats per minute). They flyyyy by.
I get the best results doing large muscle work, followed by small muscle/floorwork. They are so effective because they focus on ALL angles.

Well way back when when the classics came out, I was doing them 5 days a week so I guess I'm a test monkey that can answer affirmatively YES to your inquiry. When I first was doing volume 1, then added 2 then added 3, they all have floorwork at the end and I had truly noticeable changes in the shape of my lower body. I looked much much slimmer and more defined in my lower half. With volume 4, it actually did great stuff but I didnt do it as made. Instead, i would rewind to before the standing overhead triceps and I believe it made the workout end at almost one hour. That made volume 4 perfect for me and it was the only firm classic that made my legs sore the next day. Volume 5 and 6, I just never "loved". So the earlier classic floorwork at the end system really did have a great effect on me physically. I felt that the later firms had alot more standing work and that did effect the way my body felt, like the floor work helped me be lean and muscular with the standing, while standing work made me not as streamlined, I guess. Firm Cardio and Firm Strength are classics to me too. I love them and they have the same sort of set up as volumes 1 and 2 with the standing and floorwork. These days I do Ballet Body downloads by Leah Sarago, Tonique downloads, Strong Stride floorwork (clunky dvd setup but amazing floorwork to me) , Linda Wooldridge youtube workouts and run. The floorwork is great for hips and knees too. HTH casey |

Cardio Sculpt has good floorwork, yes, but it's nothing like the floorwork from Volumes 1 and 2.
