Well now you guys have me looking for the Zip Trainer and High Def Sculpt! Such enablers! I have looked at the zip trainer so many times before and just never brought myself to buy it. It might be time to finally place an order for it! Also searching ebay for hi def sculpt.
I didn't realize that there was an "official" Cardio Weights system. I have several of the workouts and just thought the weights were something the Firm was selling separately, not a total system.

No, this was the big informercial system of 2007. Per usual, there was lots of drama about the price of the system and the price of the shipping, because of the weights. The basic system included Hard Core Fusion, Cardio Overdrive, Hi Def Sculpt, Cardio Party and 2 pairs of 1 lb handles with 3 pairs of 1 lb plates. The deluxe system also included Tight Buns & Killer Legs, Core Solutions and a pair of 1.5 lb plates. Then there was a retail system only sold in stores that was the basic system, but only included the 2 pairs of 1 lb handles and a single pair of 1 lb plates.

Hi Def Sculpt is probably my favorite Pink firm, most of the others were just meh for me. Total Body Toner isn't too bad.
I like the slower pace that HDS offers, and while many of the moves are compound they are done at a nice pace. For me the main turn off in many of the Pink Firms is that there was too much going on at once in terms of compound moves. It's all strength too, no cardio moves at all and there are stretches throughout. My only criticism is that there are too many lunges in this workout, but since many of them are done with light weight I go with it. |

For Hi Def Sculpt, I use 7 lbs and one 12 lb weight. What I like about the Gaiam FIRMs, is that most of them just use weights. I appreciate that more and more as I get older. My favorites are Ultimate Fat Burning Workout, Bootcamp Maximum Calorie Burn, Total Body Time Crunch, Dangerous Curves Ahead and Calorie Explosion. Annie's best friend, Alison, leads most of these.
