Got the FIRM Body Sculpting System 2

[yasuern]

I am about to go do my 1st workout with it and will be back at about 3pmish to let you guys know what I thought.



Okay once I learn all the steps I think it will be a very intense workout - I did the CD called total sculpt plus abs - it combines weight with low impact cardio for a good rounded workout.
I am sweating!

I've been very tempted to start this program. I will be curious to see what you think after a few workouts!

Good luck!

I have some friends at work that have been doing The Firm tapes for years. I tried some of them a few years ago but coudn't really get into it and didn't stick with it. Now one of them lent me some of the newer tapes and I bought the Body Sculpting tapes with the new fanny lifter and I love them! I have been doing these for a few weeks now and I haven't lost any weight yet but I do feel like I am definitely more toned. I am planning on ordering the Body Sculpting System 2 when I get back from our upcoming trip to DL. How does the sculpting stick work? Do you use it alot in place of weights. I just found the W.I.S.H. board and I'm glad to see there is someone else who likes the Firm!

I am sooo on THE FIRM band wagon. I have the body sculpting tapes. The only one i dare to do is the AB tape. I love it! It goes so great with a 2 mile watp tape. I feel so "skinny" for some reason after i do the ab tapes. I really enjoy it a lot and try to do it 3 times a week and rotate that with a 2 mile watp tape. These are the only "sets" of tapes i own and they are just awesome tapes and i'm not at all bored doing that AB tape. It's challenging, relaxing and fun all at the same time. I hope more of you guys venture out to the FIRM tapes and get on the band wagon. I did'nt buy the fanny lifter though i just had a step stool rubber maid thing i use that works just fine. I'm gonna try the other two tapes but i don't think i'm fit enough to keep that fast pace yet.

You use the stick fully assembled for added resistance,balance and as a weight - the two ends come off (they call them twigs) to be used as hand weights. They suggest that you should have hand weights a set of each in 3lbs, 5lbs and 8lbs - but not for a beginner. Even though I couldn't get all the moves - I still liked it and you do sweat and you can feel it in your muscles.

The Firm has radically changed my exercise regimen. I try to do The Firm three times a week. I've watched my body change shape, with amazement, actually!

Bicker,

Amazing before and after photos. Did my 2nd Firm workout and all I can say is WOW - its a workout but I really like it! I know I am burning fat and you really feel the muscles working. I will keep posting my thoughts.

You're all experienced web folks, so this may not be new news but there's a great board, http://www.videofitness.com that talks up a storm about home fitness videos. I'm partial to www.cathe.com myself, but you'll find plent of FIRM fans there

I'm still giggling about finding a workout thread here!

Have any of you taken advantage of fitness centers at Disney, or do you find there isn't enough time...aside from the 1000 miles you walk in a week?!

Hi <b>magicbeader</b>. Welcome to the DIS and a special welcome to WISH. I'm glad you found us.

Thanks for the links. I'm curious as to why finding a workout thread here on WISH made you giggle? Giggling is good, don't you think?

Bicker, those before and after photos are absolutely amazing! WOW! Thanks for the link.

Hi Nativetxn and thanks for the welcome. Well, to be honest, I spend about 90% of my online time at VF and a lot of money on exercise videos...so to stumble on it here while doing my Disney investigating was fun and completely unexpected! Makes me feel not to far from "home"

I read for the first time in "new messages" and found this W.I.S.H thread...I looked quickly for the meaning of W.I.S.H but have yet to stumble on it. I scanned the conference and it seems like weight loss and health are primary topics here? That's pretty cool.

Yeah, it's a pretty interesting contrast, eh? Yet, I feel I've improved my body in the last year, since that After picture was taken, as much as I had in the year between the Before and After picture. I haven't lost any more weight, of course, but I've been building up my body to make weight-maintenance easier. Hopefully, my wife and I will take some neat pictures during our Smoky Mountains hiking vacation next month!

Just keep thinking: "Double-step touch..." Lalala.
