Summary: Way Better than Going to the Gym
Comment: This is my first voyage back into working out using aerobic exercise, and I really like this video. The instructor is cute, perky, and not annoying, the exercises are totally fat-blasting and do-able, and the music is bearable.
The first time I tried I got frustrated, but who doesn't? When you aren't used to moving around at a fast pace and in coordination, this can seem overwhelming at first. But on my 2nd try, I had absorbed much more than I thought I did.
The mix of stretching, cardio, weights with cardio, dance, and kickboxing are really awesome and she does the reps long enough so that you don't feel all over the place. She has you do several moves in order over and over, so you really have it memorized by the 3rd or 4th time.
I am trying to shed a few pounds and tone my body back up. This is the way to do it. I am working my whole body and building fat while burning muscle, which is something that running on a treadmill and elliptical machines don't do easily.
Highly recommended!

Summary: Great over-all workout
Comment: I have been working out with Firm VIDEOs for 20 years (specifically, Firm Workout with Weights-Vol 4. and Firm Crosstrainer-Cardio), and was hesitant to try a new one. The Ultimate Fat Burning Workout is a good combination of both cardio and weight workouts. Although the cardio could have been tougher, this DVD offers a great overall total body workout in a reasonable period of time. (40 min.) Alison is an excellent instructor and very easy to follow. I would highly recommend this DVD to anyone who is looking for a comprehensive workout in under one hour.

Summary: One of the Firm's best
Comment: This is one of my favorite Firm workouts. I'd say I am intermediate/advanced when it comes to home workout DVDs. I've been doing this one since I was a beginner and its still effective. I like Alison Davis as an instructor--I have four of her DVDs. If you like this one, also try Cardio Dance Fusion and Total Body Time Crunch. I like these because they mix cardio and weights, yet don't make you buy those stupid gimmicks like the The Firm Fannylifter or the Exercise Stick. Its just your body and some weights (you dont need to use the Firm weights--any free weights will do). This one is great and doesn't get old, and Alison is very easy to follow.
The DVD has a warm up segment, 2 cardio segments, 2 toning segments and a cool down with some light ab work. It runs about 40 minutes total. I wish it were longer but I haven't found a Firm video that has a workout that lasts more than 45 minutes. However, you can always go back to a section and repeat it for a longer workout.

Summary: Loved It!!
Comment: This is the first "The Firm" workout I have bought since basically collecting videos for my workouts. I *LOVE* this one! It really, really gave me a great workout and I am just drenched after it's over. Alison does a great job in this video starting out slow with the steps before speeding it up and adding on. Great cues for the moves. It is now my favorite video because of the intensity of the workout it give me.

Summary: Great workout! The FIRM is the best!
Comment: I am a regular home exerciser, and am very partial to THE FIRM series. I have tried many other workouts, but The FIRM is my favorite series. One thing I have noticed over the years, is that The FIRM series is the "most professional". What I mean by this is that the instuctors commentary strays little from the workout instruction. I can't stand it when I hear a personal comment in a DVD. It gets tiring if you do the workout more than a couple of times a month. Additionally, I like the fact that all the attendees in the class with the instructor, dress similar to the instructor, in non-offensive workout gear. I have a couple of Crunch series DVD's and some the people in the class are wearing the strangest things. Pajama like bottoms are hardly inspiring for a workout.
Now, more specifically to this workout with Alison Davis. I like this one quite a lot, and it's definitely one of the favorites in my collection of 20 or so DVD's. I like fairly hard core exercise that pushes me, and I really only find that in this DVD and a couple other FIRM workouts. I especailly like the ones with Aly Del Rio (another good FIRM instructor) and Alison Davis.
I have managed to stay a 2P for 8 months by doing THE FIRM most every day. I really believe it's one of the toughest workout series out there. The only reason I did not give this 5 stars is because I wish it were just a little bit more challenging than it is.
