Do I need all six Firm Classics?

I am planning on getting volumes 1-3 from Mary, but I am pretty unfamiliar with 4-6. Is there a reason I might want to get the later volumes as well? I might get them eventually, but I'm wondering if they are different enough from 1-3 that I might want them RIGHT NOW. (lol)

They certainly are different! Among other things, Vol. 4 is more cardio than strength and is less than 45 minutes long, Vol. 5 has much more emphasis on lower-body strength, and Vol. 6 uses a barbell and has no impact and no floor work.

No floor LEG work, I should say...

Volumes 1 - 3 are my favorites, especially Vol. 2, but you do need all 6 because they're just all good.

Vol 6 is my fav too. You can decide how much weight you want to use. Barbell is optional. Moves are slow and controlled. Jaynee Poteet is so calm. I love the stretch at the end.

Volume 3 is the mother of all Firm Classics in my opinion, not even Cathe Freidrich can do this one. LOL. (kidding). Volume 1 and 4 are my next faves.

I personally have all except Vol. 5. I'm bottom-heavy as it is, and I shy away from workouts with a lower-body emphasis...especially those with heavy weights!

My answer is : Yes. haha I do Vol 4 and 6 the most often in any given year. Vol 6 seems deceiving,in that is more "gently" paced but oh boy! I am WORKED OUT when I am done. Vol 4 is a must just so you can see-and do- the Dork Dance LOL I love the content of 4-all the standing stuff is complete,then you go to the floor. The leg walks in abs and the stretch feel so good! Have fun dvd'ing!
