The Workout That Started It All...

Posted by HuffandBuff at 6:27 AM
So, what was my first video purchase you ask?


My exercise adventure began with the purchase of The Firm Volume 2 - Low Impact Aerobics led by Janet Jones-Gretzky.  The Firm method was created by Anna Benson, who sadly passed away late last year.  The Firm method is based on a concept known as Aerobic Weight Training (AWT).  It consists of using light weights while doing cardio moves to create a cardiovascular effect and, per their claims, burn fat three times faster than standard cardio exercise.  If you can get past the leotards and leg warmers, the ancient set, and the heavy breathing, this is truly a gem of a workout.  The workout has since been converted from VHS to DVD and is available at Fitness Favorites.

Looking for a more current Firm Workout?  Two of my current favorites include The Firm Bootcamp - Maximum Calorie Burn led by Allison Davis and The Firm Total Body Time Crunch led by Rebekah Sturkie.  These two brilliant instructors are set to lead upcoming workouts from The Firm.   You can also follow The Firm on Facebook.

My first dvd was the 10 minute solution toning dvd by Amy Bento. Then I saw a review in Shape for Rebekah's Total Body Time Crunch and like yourself, I have quite a few of the Firm dvds.

Hi Susan,

The Firm will always have a soft spot in my heart because it is what got me started on this journey to a healthier life. I am glad to see they are a part of your collection as well.
