The Firm: Dangerous Curves Ahead
FIRMTHE: DANGEROUS CURVES AHEAD (DVD MOVIE)
Review by Titania Knight from Roc City, ny:
I enjoyed this new Dvd by the Firm . I was a little disappointed though by the band I have rather large thighs and when I attempted to place the band around my upper thighs, as the workout suggested it got all twisted up and started to cut of my blood cirulation to my legs. Please be aware if you are full at the bottom like round hips and big butt with thighs this might be difficult for you to use. I enjoyed the dvd otherwise I love Allison and I plan on getting in touch with the women at the Firm about this problem . Just Please Be Careful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review by G. Pendavinji from morton grove il:
it's impossible to not give this dvd 5 stars even though i am not the most coordinated person. i would say that is my only difficulty because i am already very active, but my problem is i don't normaly like cardio like running ect. but i loved this. i hope i am going to get down the moves cuz sometimes i have to rewind bcuz as i said my coordination is off.
Review by KSJ from :
This is a total body workout with one 55 min workout, and three separate express segments; one for cardio, one for sculpting, and one that is cardio-abs. 145 minutes total, and I got a band! I really enjoyed doing this workout. I have been a FIRM junkie for 10 years now, have done everything from Susan Harris and Traci Long videos to the newest Transfirmation system. This one falls somewhere towards the top of my ratings.
What I liked:
This is another video with Allison Davis-McLain as the lead. She is very motivating. I thought that Emily did a great job as the "modifier." There were a couple of new faces too that were energetic. Time did seem to cruise on by, I sweated, and my ab muscles ached the next day, which is always a good sign to me.
What I didn't like:
This video contained a lot of calf-pump type jumping exercises, which for me, is a killer on my knees and my calfs (Duh, right?). There was also something Allison called the "lunge plyo" where I was supposed to go into lunge position jumping when I switched legs. I didn't attempt to do that one.. looked kind of scary to me. I also didn't like that Allison would say every once in awhile "Now listen!" I don't like being talked down to in an exercise video; I kind of felt like I was in kindergarten when she did that.
All in all, a lot of fun, and a lot of bang for my buck.

Review by Frank Cardoso from edison, nj:
I bought this dvd to try a different type of aerobic exircise.. I used Richard Simmons tapes after having my son.. but while they helped me lose weight.. it was low impact and I didn't always feel the burn.. and I didn't always sweat.. I've had this video for a week.. and I've done it three times so far (i work weekends so I limit it to 4 times a week..).. and let me tell you.. sweat pours off of me and I'm not one that sweats easily.. I love this work out.. The moves are hard..but after a few times I've got them down pretty well.. i'm not trying to lose a lot of weight (I'm 130) I want it to help maintain my curves and sculpt my muscles.. and I feel the burn with this one... with the full workout I really feel I get a good high impact cardo workout and tone.. since the toning is inbetween the cardio segments.. i feel liek my muscles are working that much harder.. I highly reccomend this video.. I think its fun.. and fullfilling
Review by blondie from chicago, il:
I own a lot of The Firm workouts, and they haven't been impressing me lately. However, this workout actually made me sweat and kept me interested. They actually had new moves to do! The DVD comes with a band. It's not that impressive, but it does give a bit of a break from weights.
If you are sick of The Firm, I would give this a shot. It's one of the better ones of their new offerings.
