I use the FIRM. I love it!!

Some of the tapes are Sculpt only, some are sculpt and cardio and some are cardio only. My muscles have never been so toned, even when I was a skinny minny in my teens!

I have a couple of weight training books I use for reference and which are pretty user friendly,and they are both soft cover and not too expensive. The first is "Weight Training for Dummies" and the other is one of those "Everything about" series books. They illustrate a lot of the various exercises and cover a lot of background information too, like suppliments etc. I think both are really geared for women. The "Dummies" book includes moves you can do with free weights and machines, depending if you are working out at home or in a gym. The "Everything" book made me really evaluate my problem spots and decide how to put together a routine that would be good for me.

I have been doing the weight training for a little over a month, and more seriously the past couple weeks. My big decision was whether I would be better off adding weight or going for repetitions. It's been an evolving process, but the good news I haven't been sore and haven't been hurt, all while toning slowly, so I know I am on the right track for me.

Good luck!
