*MASSIVE*FIRM ultimate compendium - 340 pages of FIRM workout breakdowns & rotations!

Whoa, this is very impressive. A FIRM forum member Vanessa put together a 340 page document she calls "the FIRM Believer's Ultimate Compendium" that details all of the FIRM workouts along with their release dates, workout breakdowns, categories and so on.

Then she put together all the FIRM rotations that have been developed over the past 10 years and put them into this document as well.

It's unbelievable that anyone would be this committed, it's a TON of work. I'm so impressed. Forget the masters thesis, this thing is amazing. Granted, she did print it in a 14-point font but still, it's a lot of data.

I would download it while you can, I suspect that this will not be available online forever:

warning: it's 3.143 MB, so be prepared.

dawn - thank you. awesome! i have a spreadsheet of the firms that i own that breakdown the minutes, the toning emphasis, the # min of cardio. it's a 1-pager, but useful for sorting when you're planning a rotation. i compiled the minute breakdowns from Collage's catalogs. if anyone wants one, PM me w/your e-mail address.


whoever was requesting this a few days ago - please take note!

This is great timing because I was thinking about doing a Firm rotation of the old Classics. I just printed the word file to a PDF document which makes the compendium much more manageable. The PDF file size is down to 1.11MB. If you don't have a PDF creater you can go to download.com to download a free one. I use PDF ReDirect and have be very happy with it.

Thank you Vanessa for creating this comprehensive document and thank you Dawn for bringing it to the board!

Susie, Vanessa sent that doc to me and I am hosting it on my personal website until the FIRM can load it. I will ask Vanessa if she minds if I put the smaller version out there. I never thought to convert it to PDF. It should be better for everyone to use the PDF. Thanks for thinking of it.

Here's a link to a smaller PDF version. Same content just word takes up more space.
