Fav FIRM Classic?? - Page 2

kimmie2191 · 11-20-11, 02:32 PM

Volume 1 is my favorite and I still use that one pretty regular. Volume 2 comes in a close second.

But I have all the classics, (except for #5) and use them every couple of months with Firm Strength, Firm Cardio, Tortoise, and Hare.

the Jayne Poteet one, and

better body and buns.

I own both of these, but got them off youtube so I could do them off iTunes. I hate posting links to full workouts, but as long as you try them and if you like them, buy them, I feel a bit better about it... plus it's freaking cool they are there...

ETA: my favorites are Vol 1 & Vol 2. Vol 1 was the first workout video I EVER did, over and over and over... I can recite it even!! Vol 2 I love and fell in love with Janet. She's perfect

It is VERY hard to choose

But from the Volumes, I think 1 is the best (most comprehensive, KILLER floor work), 3 and 4 are great, and 6 has some great cardio and strength with NO LUNGES and is a little easier.

Out of the other BBH-era Firms, I like Firm Cardio the best, along with Better

Body and Buns for strength.

My favorite cardio ones are Fat Blaster and Maximum Cardio (both fun, fun, fun).

ETA: How could I forget to mention Maximum Body Shaping/Sculpting with Tracie Long, a strength classic.

We're supposed to have only 1 favorite??
Vols 1-4, Firm Strength, Firm Cardio, and Total Body Shaping Mix. I wouldn't part with any of them. I'm working on adding Vol 6 to the list; I like it but not quite as much for some reason. I disliked the chair warmup but I'm sure it's more than that.

Firm 5 I only know from Parts. Something about LaReine bugged me a little (maybe it was her name, lol). Plus it emphasizes the lower body and I prefer total body workouts.

Including the parts, the workouts I did most often (the true test of which I liked, right?): Vol 2 (me too, Melzie!), Vol 1, Tough Tape, Standing Legs, and FIRM Strength (aka Strongbody). (I liked vol 3 a lot too, but the best parts were contained in Standing Legs).

I loved, and did, all of the classic Firms a lot, though.

Volume 3

Volume 2 is my favorite total body classic with volumes 3 and 4 tied for a close second. Tough Aerobic Mix is my all time favorite--of the original classics this is the one I did the most. I wish it would be put on dvd.

Volumes 4 and 6

EnglishIvy · 11-20-11, 08:26 PM

Volume 3

Though I like volumes 1 & 2 and Better Body & Buns as well. I did a rotation last year (including Super Sculpting, Bust & Butt, Tortoise, Hare etc) and it was very enjoyable. I was a little bored with volumes 4 - 6 but they were doable. All for the best as I have to be careful with too much high step or I get the the dreaded shelf butt

Volume 6 is my alltime favorite, followed by Volumes 2, 1, 5 and then 4. The only Classic I dislike is 3 - combination of instructor with whom I don't click and (IMHO) dreadful music.
