THE FIRM is bizarre and I'm old
So summer is hitting, which means it's time for THE FIRM. I can't even remember why, but for some reason, they're summer workouts, and, yet, it's been years since I've pulled them out. So the other day, I did the FitPrime Time Crunch, not too bad. Today, Tough Tape 2. Having only done newer (pink) or Xpress FIRMS in recent years, the experience of the original FIRM blew me away. IT'S SO FREAKING WEIRD Y'ALL!! And for the first time, I noticed that the credits feature a "writer." All that weird speech is SCRIPTED. I don't know why, but I was freaking out from all the weirdness--the patter, the outfits... And then I kept imagining those women having to memorize lines like "And now the happy couple..."
That all said, I also recall Tough Tape 2 being the easier of the two and it kind of kicked my ass. Not doing the FIRM for years means also not doing step-ups, and, with 20-pounders, I was gasping. So the ladies of Charleston put out a freakish product, but still get the job done. But honestly, after being away so long, it struck me as all new kinds of bizarre even as I realized that I am soooo much older lol.
