"Like a previous reviewer, I liked this tape the best out of the Firm's TRANSFIRMER series. I don't really care for the additional aerobic training the other tapes offer. I already treadmill and do elliptical for an hour six days a week. What I do need however is strength training that can target my entire body and this tape does just that. You can really feel it while you are working it as well.

While the tape may not be as strenous a workout as far as geting your heart rate up it DOES target all the major muscle groups in effective strength training exercises. The transfirmer box is used to help shape quadriceps and hamstrings as well as biceps, triceps and deltoids. The abdominal exercises demonstrated are challenging enough that they can produce effective results when done on a consistent basis over time.

I would highly recommend this tape as an adjunct to running, walking, elliptical or other aerobic exercise. The loss of muscle mass is a real phenomenon for those of us over 50; and, as it is explained on this tape, strength training will increase metabolism and thus slow the loss process. This cannot be overlooked."
