The Firm Time Crunch DVD (Classic Firm Volume 4)

The Firm workouts (along with Ballet Beautiful from Mary Helen Bowers) has become my fitness tools.I wanted to add some of the Firm classics since I read how great they were (some even say that even better that the lastest).This workout was great. Besides the dumbells, you will need a step with this DVD (I still own the Fanny Lifter step, so I used the blue portion), so keep that in mind.

The Firm classic series is one of the most effective workouts available. Have use the series for years. When I work 60 to 70 hours a week the program helped me to stay in shape due to limited hours for exercise.

The original Firm, in its day, made the only effective exercise videos bar none. They surpass Jane Fonda, Kathy Smith, Karen Voight and all the other that were out there. I tried them all and only The Firm worked. I am now pushing 70 and have to pace myself after several months of idleness during the COVID shutdown. I use this video to alternate with Volume 2 and fell better already. No nonsense, no special equipment and it will kick your butt no matter how old.

I was sooooo excited to see the original firm videos out on DVD!! I have all the classics...volumes 1-6 and love them all. I also got 5 day abs plus Tough tape 2 as well and rotate them 5 days a week. I never seem to get bored with them and see such great muscle tone all over! I always look forward to working out with them. I have done P90x, newer firm dvds, 10 minute workout....you name it and i always come back to the Firm Classics....love Susan Harris in this and on volume 2, i believe, and love Kai's energy! About 3 classics are a bit shorter around 45 min....good for when i don't have a lot of time....but i always make some time for my workouts. I use 5 lb., 8 lb., 10 lb., and one 15 lb., weights from Target and ankle weights, exercise mat and bought a small step stool and a taller step stool at target for the steps. Love the sets, music, cueing and routines...feel so invigorated after a workout...simply the best! Better than any class! But i do need to turn on my fan full blast and have it blow on me...

I worked out with the original Firm series back when. Years later, along with a few extra pounds, I dug out my VHS tapes and player and both had bit the dust. I searched online and was happy to see a DVD version I can play on my computer. The FIRM works and you do see a difference within a short amount of time. The Time Crunch version is my favorite. Thank you!

This is a great Firm tape from their 'classic' period. They have a bench you can employ for some step moves if you choose to; I prefer not to as it means dividing my eyes between the TV screen and the bench to make sure no stumbles. But a bench is not necessary, as this is a very good workout -- you just want some free weights of your choosing. Many of the great, tough Firm tapes are 60 minutes, and this 45 minute one flies by in comparison. There's still an aerobic workout and a reasonable stretch period, although I am starting to incorporate more of my own stretching (pilates) to augment the relatively short stretches in this series of workouts. One standout of this particular DVD is the arm sequence -- it's tougher than some of the longer ones I do and it also works the back. So overall, if you enjoy classic Firm DVDs, this is a good complement to the collection.

I love this work out and I'm so glad I found it on dvd. I love doing the firm workouts.

I am so glad I found this DVD and the other original Firm exercise videos. They really do work and I like the routines that they offer. You can make it easy or hard, depending on the weights you use. I like to push myself a little and it is easy with these exercises. I highly recommend all the original Firm videos. (not the newer ones). The original ones say Guaranteed visible results in 10 workouts on the front. I had these on VHS tapes and was so sad that I couldn't find them on DVD. Thank you gaiiam! I also like Jillian Michaels exercise videos.

I had it on the old VHS Tape for the old VCRs. and its still a good workout video.
