Calistro ~I don't own every Firm ever made, but I do have the majority. I have lent out or given away a few I regret, but hopefully I will find them sooner or later.
Here's how I've modified my Firm/Fitprime Workouts: 1. Tall Box is only the blue portion. I work hard on form and really only use the leg on the box for movement up and down. 2. No Plyos: I do wide leg kick backs or get on my rebounder for segments with lots of plyos, jacks, bunny hops etc. 3. I have nerve damage in my neck and forearms: No heavy weights over head anymore. I use my medium poundage for over head press,etc. 4. Squats, Lunges, & Dips: Shallow for now. But I'm working on them. I keep my legs a bit wider when stepping forward or back to give myself better balance. Occasionally I'll use the dowel, but not often. (still too prideful). 5. Floor work: I use the step to lay over and support my torso so that I can really work hard in the legs and use proper form without compromising my shoulders, wrists, neck. This does not take away the intensity of the lower body. 6. Aerobic segments with a step: Only the purple portion. My HR is through the roof with just this short step. Some days I'll just use the floor with no step and still get a great cardio workout. 7. I have taken the 60 min. Classics and divided them into 2 workouts. It's quite easy to do with great chaptering. I just started using them fully just today. That's all I can think of for now, but will add more as it comes to me.

I do FIRMs or BeMax streaming workouts 6 days a week. Monday was Prime Power Fat Burning from 1996. Yesterday was Express Cardio from 2004 and BeMax Core & Restore Barre #1. Tonight will be Zero in Ten: Target Toning from 2010. I use the 8" height for fast tall box climbs and 14" with a dowel for leg press. I love plyos. I'm 61.
