Body Sculpting Basics is a total-body workout designed by Founder of The Firm Anna Benson. Susan Harris leads a routine that astonished the exercise community when first introduced. For the first time, weights & aerobics were combined in one program. This is now a proven best method for simultaneous fat loss and muscle toning in the least amount of time.

Maximum Body Shaping gives serious results with tough body building sets which shapes the entire body with weights. Synchronized to a high-energy music score, this fun-interval training routine leads you through upper and lower-body exercises; adjust weight and intensity to workout as your become stronger. Master Instructor Tracie Long delivers a popular, tested and proven routine that includes high intensity weight work with short aerobic intensifiers.

Designed as a pair, FIRM Strength and FIRM Cardio cross train by varying the sequencing of exercises: FIRM Strength shapes muscle by first working the upper body, then the entire lower body, and FIRM Cardio burns fat using PHA (Peripheral Heart Action) training to work the upper and lower body alternately. PHA sequencing also strengthens the heart by repeatedly making it pump blood back and forth between distant muscle groups. When used on alternate days they sculpt your body by preventing muscles from adapting to predictable exercise sequences, and maximize aerobic endurance and fat burning.

Master instructors Jennifer Carman and Stacey Milner-Collins lead you through fun, low-impact aerobic segments – alternating with classic muscle toning routines. Also includes ab routine, stretches to increase flexibility, and “4 limbed” aerobic patterns with light dumbbells.

Master instructor Stacey Milner-Collins targets your most hard to tone problem areas: abdominals, buns & thighs. Enjoyable simple, low impact aerobic segments alternate with classic muscle toning routines and stretches to increase flexibility.

Lift, tighten, and shape all three major problem areas (hips, buttocks and thighs) with this intense workout. Three factors make these routines as effective as they are popular. 1. Performed entirely while lying down, this workout allows maximum-intensity concentration (and muscle toning) by focusing on one body part at a time. 2. Continue to grow stronger and shapelier by gradually increasing ankle weights to five pounds. 3. The FIRM's unique (but optional) trick of adding dumbbells (3-12 lbs.) to "floor" exercise adds the ultimate level of intensity and results-especially for the buttocks. Master Instructor Tracie Long leads these tested, proven routines compiled from The FIRM's acclaimed Tortoise & Hare Cross-Trainer workouts.
