Summary: Floor & step aerobics, very difficulty
Comment: "The Firm Parts: Not-So Tough Aerobics" is a combination of step aeorbics and standing floor moves, some with weights and some without. This tape was edited from about half a dozen earlier "The Firm" workout tapes -- 7 minutes here, 3 minutes there -- like one of those serial TV shows that shows bits & pieces from previous shows. The lady pictured on the cover fills in transitions between segments, telling you what equipment to get and how to stand to get ready for the next segment.
Tough Aerobics Mix" is an extremely challenging aerobic workout. Unlike most Firm workout tapes, this exercise session only uses light weights (3 to 5 lbs) and a low step (3" to 7"). So it is suitable for days between weightlifting sessions. Some of the exercises are low impact, and some segments are bouncy/high impact.
One problem with this workout tape is that the edits are disruptive. The visual transitions from set to set give the exercise session a "cheap" feel. Still, the overall workout is worthwhile.
I exercize regularly, but I just cannot keep up with the pace of this tape. I would recommend this tape only to people who are in excellent physical condition -- if you do 5+ hours of aerobics each week and 3+ hours of weightlifting, you'll greatly enjoy this tape.
This workout has background music that is enjoyable and varied. Visually, the workout quite entertaining: colorful backdrop, statues, murrals on
The Wallb, and a variety of people exercising in different clothing. It looks like you are in a class with many other people.
