I'm a "FIRM Believer" and have used many of the Firm DVDs. I bought this one looking for a good 30 min workout, and this delivers, but with some caveats. Emily is still one of my favorite instructors, but the choreography was much harder to follow on this one than some of her others. The opening set does NOT follow the music well, making it very hard to stay in step. The combo exercises throughout the video don't feel very natural, so I wouldn't recommend it for someone who struggles with coordination. Also, there are a few floor exercises that would be more comfortable on carpet or a yoga mat. Overall it's a good video, just takes some practice and getting used to. I would recommend this for someone at an intermediate finess level with good coordination. Equipment needed: light to medium dumbbells.Read full review
I've probably been doing this dvd for a month and I like it. In the beginning, it was difficult because Emily does not give good cues. With that said, half way through the way video I am sweating and my heart is pumping. I like the incorporation of weights and cardio. The cardio is pretty good and you will burn a sweat. I would recommend that you stick with this video and get her moves down and once you do that you will do just fine. I feel that Emily should make another video to redeem herself in the sense of making another video where she cues a lot better and that way her fans and fans of The Firm will be able to get the moves much more smoothly. Overall good video and one that I use every week.
First of all, I think Emily is a very fun & innovative instructor. She guides you through a very fun & pumped up routine from the very beginning! Some of the older FIRM half hour workouts start a little slow. Not this one! Within less than 4 minutes, you think you're half way through the half hour! She gets you going that quickly, you're really into it! You don't even think of the time later on because it's so fast pace moving! Infact, I wish some more recent FIRM videos were as fun & creative as this one is in such a short time! This one can't be beat when you need a quick work out & sweat in a minimal amount of time!
Gets it all done in just half hour. Great for when time is limited for working out. Changes are quick but you pick up the moves quickly.

This video is not as fun as prior Firm videos. Emily does have an engaging personality, though. More choreographed which frustrates me.
