The one that works

"I used to hate to exercise, and believe me, I have tried to exercise and like it. I have joined the gym, and done a wide variety of videos... I have danced with Cher, sweated to the oldies, worked my core with pilates, and tried to slim down in six. I got results, but nothing to get too excited about. As you might expect, I would just give up. Was it boredom, or lack of time? Was it laziness, or some other excuse? Yes, yes, yes, yes. The fault is and always has been mine.
But, the Firm approach is the one that I can stick to. Jiggle Free Abs is an incredibly effective routine. I would never do 25 minutes of crunches on the floor, but I can lunge, twist, punch, squeeze and yes even crunch with Allie Del Rio (my favorite firm instructor). I rotate Jiggle Free Abs with other Firm transfirmer DVD's.
One of the things I like best about the 7 Firm DVD's that I have tried, is that they do not waste your time. If I am going to spend 25, or even 55 minutes exercising, then I want results. Even when I was just starting out, I could do a modify version of most of the moves, but still push myself to get a good workout. For me, the Firm workouts, and Allie Dlel Rio are the best.
A final word of caution: I find that most Firm routines are a bit hard on the knees. Be careful.
