FIRM Check-In Week 24

[sueg]

WOW FIRMIES!
I've never started a thread. But I wanted to report my Sat-Sun-Mon FIRMing, before my day gets too crazy.
Saturday was CA&WT w/ Emily. On Sunday, my morning got away from me so I backed off Cardio Sculpt w/ Allie & squeezed in Super Body Sculpt w/ Stephanie. This AM, it was Cardio Sculpt Blaster.
Sunday afternoon, I caught the new FIRM informational over lunch. It is the 3 workouts (Lisa, Christa & Janet?) and the new incline step. I'm going to research this new package, before my FIRM Believers membership expires. I had read that the new step had some problems. It seems that the three workouts don't require a sculpting stick (which I have resisted buying) but I want to see how long they are. I won't buy it if it's three long workouts. That just doesn't work for me.
Have a happy & healthy day! SGG

Good afternoon Firmies!

Welcome to another week of Firming!

Thanks for getting us started sueg, your work outs always sound so great! I wanna see the new Firm infomercial. I'm toying with the idea of getting the new step/box system. But I do want to see how it all works.

Saturday I did super cardio sculpt, Sunday I did the ab portion of super body sculpt and this morning I did Calorie Killer and boy was that tough!

I hope you each have a great Firm day!

Hello all.

Yesterday was Calorie Killer and today I did complete aerobics and weight training.

A new product huh. They are keeping me buying new things Oh well, DH is just going to have to deal with it

 

[sm4987]

Hey all, if you want to see the new informercial, go to the firm direct.com website. They have it so you can see it on windows media player

 

[sueg]

I spent some time on firmdirect & got alot of good information about BSS3. The 3 workouts are: Complete Body Sculpting 45 min. w/ Christa; Total Muscle Shaping 45 min. w/ Stephanie & Fat Blasting Cardio 30 min. w/ Lisa Kay. With my Firm Believer discount, it's only $53.91. And they announced that a special offer is forthcoming for all Firm Believers, who will receive a special e-mail. So I'm definitely waiting until the special announcement. I don't know if there will be a price difference, but they are saying that there will be priority shipping for these orders. That is pretty important because I've found the firmdirect shipping is quite slow, esp. when you compare it w/ overstock.com
There are some hints of problems with the new incline step, because there is a posted list of do's & don'ts on its proper use. Seems like FIRM is trying to say that the problem is not the step itself, but some of the ways that people are using it. Maybe it's an adjustment from the way the Fanny lifter is used.
I'll try to post whatever I learn from the site. SGG

FIRMIES!
What a lousy night of sleep...I've been up since 3:45AM. But I forced myself to do Ab Sculpt w/ Lisa Kay. Can't take an off day when the weekly weigh-in reveals an added pound.
Have a happy & healthy day! SGG

I have been dying to see the new informational. I don't have a computer at home yet so I am once again at the public library. Sat was a rest day for me and Sunday I worked out but pretty much ruined it by the ice cream and chicken fingers I had!! OK I blame PMS. today was super body sculpt and yesterday was super cardio blast with Jen (the older tape).

Sueg thanks for starting the thread, see you guys tomorrow!

 

[ZerasPride]

Today I did super body sculpt and did the entire session (upper/lower/abs) all together. I usually break it up and do the ab portion separately but I wanted to see if I could do the entire work out and not quit before it was over. I think I've done the entire work out once before today. Anyway, I'm proud of myself for getting through it all.

I am definitely interested in Firm 3. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for the inforomercial and I'll also check out the website. Thanks for the advance notice sue!

Yesterday I did Cardio Sculpt Blaster with Lisa. I think this is going to become one of my favorite FIRM workouts. I've also been looking at the BSS3. I'm not sure if I want the new step though.

I really want to try some of the Cathe dvds... I've won one on ebay so I'm waiting for it to arrive. I'll let you know how the workout is!

 

[ZerasPride]

Rae Ann - I would love to know what you think of the Cathe work out. I'm thinking of adding one or two to my collection. Cardio Sculpt Blaster with Lisa Kay is one of my favs too. I'll be doing that one tomorrow morning. I like that it's 30 minutes from start to finish and I really feel I got a nice total body work out. Oh, and I really love the fact that there are no leg presses in this one!

 

[sm4987]

Hello all. Today I did Cardio Sculpt Blaster and I also did Calorie Killer. I feel really, really good and really, really tired

I ordered the new firm series and I can't wait for it to get here. I'm all excited!!!!

 

[sueg]

FIRMIES!
This was the first morning all week that I felt rested, so it was Body Sculpt Blaster w/ Nancy (needaburger), instead of my planned day off. I like this quick workout, except for the second set of leg presses w/ tempo variations. I lowered my challenge by dropping to 5 lb. weights for that set, but overall, it was a good workout.
Have a happy & healthy day! SGG

Today was Calorie Killer for me. I was going to do MCB+Abs, but I changed my mind at the last minute. Have a great day!

I was going to do the Emily tape but I have a ton to do today so I did my tv show. Not that I'm wild about it but I feel like a at least keep things going. Tomorrow back to Emily. I really like this tape

 

[sm4987]

Today was super body sculpt with Stephanie today. I really like this tape. Her ab workout is my favorite!!

 

[s&k'smom]

Today was the Emily tape. I really like that ab section. Nothing like working out before you take your kid out to dinner for his birthday. All I see are fries and cake in front of me!

FIRMIES!
Today is my planned off-day. But the real reason for my post is to share the info from the e-mail from Firm Believers on BSS3 offer. The package includes four workouts:Complete Body Sculpting, Total Muscle Shaping, Fat Blasting Cardio & FIRM Hips, Thighs & Abs, plus a bonus Power Yoga described as 30 min. of sculpting which relieves stress and increases mobility. I always wanted to try this Yoga tape, but I don't think I would go out to buy it.

You can try BSS3 for a 30 day trial (But what are the chances that I will return it!!) for $19.95 S&H. If you keep it, it's an additional $53.90 for Firm Believer Club members. I think it's a pretty good deal & although the S&H seems high, it does include the new FIRM Box.
I'm think that I'm going to order it. The offer is good until 8/16. But I'm scheduled for a lengthy vacation, starting on 8/17 & I'm afraid if I order now, it will come while I'm away. While I've always felt that Good Times shipping is PAINFULLY slow, they were suggesting that they would give priority to these special orders. So I think I'll wait until 8/15 and count on at least a 2 week turnaround for shipping.

I'm pretty excited. Maybe this is just what I needed to rekindle my FIRM enthusiasm--5 new workouts, a new piece of equipment & a few good nights of sleep.

Have a happy & healthy day! SGG

Good morning Firmies!

This morning, which is supposed to be a rest day, I took it easy and did the warm up of super body sculpt and the first set of push ups (I did 10 manly man push ups - Wohoo!) and then I did the ab portion at the end. Kinda whimpy but I just couldn't totally skip a Firm work out so 15 minutes is better than nothing. I think I'm getting a bit stronger because that ab section usually kicks my butt but it wasn't so hard this morning.

sueg - thanks for giving us an update on BSS3. It sounds wonderful and since you may be the first one of us to own the new set, you have to give us a review once you've had a chance to use the new equipment and try out the new work outs.

Have a great day guys!

 

[s&k'smom]

Thank you Sueg for the info, I can't wait to hear your review.

Zeraspride, I know what you mean about the manly pushups, I love when I can complete a set.
