Yes these are the Prime Powers - Lower Body Shaping and Fat Burning. Be careful of your knees though - one of these (can't remember which as I've only done each once) is a lunge, dip, and squat fest.

Gosh...thanks for the answers...and quick ones at that!! I didn't even expect anyone to know! I'm so mad at myself for getting rid of them. I kept a LOT of my older Firm's, yes VHS too......but then once I moved and threw out a bunch of VHS....but I still have a lot too....I think I'm one of the few that still has them....but I still enjoy a tape or 2! I've been going thru my oldie's lately.
Also, these 2 USED to be easy for me.....but that doesn't mean anything NOW.....I did BallAero the other day and I remember I never used to feel anything from the med balls and I was over-joyed cuz my arms got mildly sore from the med ball work!! Now, I'm all excited and have been digging up med ball workouts......oh geez....I'm such a freak!! Oh well....whatever makes you happy! I ended up ordering from Fitness Favorites as I couldn't find the partner DVD on Collage....so I may have paid a few more bucks their ....but oh well....I better get to listing a few dvds on Ebay to sell to get the money to pay for it!! I can't wait to do them and bring back some more memories!! I have fond memories of Firm days. The Firm and Tae Bo ....my intro into the Fitness World!! And..........Wow...the memories on you ladies.....yeesh!!! Go ladies go!! |

Enjoy your new videos! I've been doing the Prime Powers for 18 years now, and specifically this month with my rotation. My tip for Prime Power Lower Body is that you need to keep track of which side you work. There might be some confusion when Kim switches positions and angles and you sort of have to mirror what she is doing to get even work in both legs. One fun part of PPLB is watching David McLauren (from Classic volumes as a cast member) try not to over smile and crack up when the camera zooms in. He aged beautifully from the days of Volume 3 & 4. Spotting seasoned FIRM instructors in class ( such as Nancy Tucker, Nancy Stevens, Dianne Anderson and others) from the 'olden days' also continue to make these crosstrainers a real treat for me. Have fun!

When the Prime Powers first came out, I had also just got my first home computer and discovered this forum and a group of people besides me who did the FIRM. Anyway, everyone seemed to hate them, so I never ordered them. I bought them for the first time last year and I really enjoy them. The lack of leg presses and high-impact makes them good for the older exercisers, which I think was intended, but they are both a good workout in any case.

I love the Prime Powers! For me the background and the music shows Anna's quirkiness! She just had "IT" when designing workouts. I really enjoy them!

I absolutely hated the Prime Powers when they first came out. The awful set and music! Ugh! I couldn't get rid of them fast enough.
I've had them again now for about a year and do them every once in a while (so many Firm workouts/only so many days in a week). I wonder how many other workouts I'd actually like now that I got rid of years ago. |
