Today's Workout (1/5/08)

I did The FIRM Cardio Sculpt Fusion (aka Total Body Lite) with Emily Welsh. Even though this was an easier workout (or a "recovery" workout), I was sweating pretty good with it. This is my sixth day in a row of working out, and I' m looking forward to my day off tomorrow. My body is starting to feel tired.

I received my TransFIRMation System last night, and was really excited about it. The workouts look good. I wish I hadn't had to buy the whole kit-and-caboodle, but you couldn't buy the workouts without the silly little weight kit (which was a joke). I have all of the weights I need, and these (while nice) are just a gimmick. You can make them into one pounders, three pounders, or 1 five pounder. Pretty silly. Still, I was excited to get it and I'm really motivated to keep going.

I'm considering doing The Firm Prime Powers (Lower Body and Fat Burning) on Monday and Tuesday. I'd rather just start using my new workouts, however those two tapes are easier workouts which tend to never get used after I start advancing. I always thought to myself that if I was ever to get out of shape again (umm...yeah, I'm there), those tapes would be decent workouts. Otherwise, they collect dust. So I'll probably do those again and then start with my new Firms.

What the heck is someone going to do with 1 or 2 pound weights (or 1 5-pounder)? You're right - silly. I will be curious to hear what the workouts are like and whether they are challenging. In my opinion, the Firm has really gone down hill since Anna left but I continue to keep an open mind.

I agree with you, Sassy. The FIRM lost their creative force when Anna was forced out.

Still, I think the FIRM is one of the only fitness programs that does AWT right. I'll definitely post on my thoughts about the workouts.
