The FIRM Cardio Weight System works because it combines fat burning cardio and body sculpting weights to burn up to 3 times more fat than cardio alone. It melts away the fat and reshapes your body for results you can see in 10 workouts or less. The Total Body TransFIRMation Kit includes 2 handles and a total of 8 lbs of weight that allows for a customized workout for all levels of fitness. In addition, The FIRM Total Body TransFIRMation Kit includes 210 minutes of programming that includes the following DVD's: "Hi-Def Sculpt" with Annie Lee, "Hard Core Fusion" with Allie Del Rio, "Cardio Overdrive" with Allison Davis and the "Bonus" workout "Cardio Party" with Rebekah Sturkie and all the FIRM Master Instructors. All of this comes with a 48-page Weight Loss Success Guide and includes a Custom Carrying Case.Shape, tone, and strengthen your body with the Firm's Total Body TransFIRMation kit. Equipped with a set of Firm CardioWeights, 210 minutes of workout programming on DVD, a 48-page Weight Loss Success Guide, and a custom carrying case, the kit will melt away the fat and reshape your body in no time. CardioWeights are the Firm's most effective fitness tool yet, with a pair of 1-pound handles and 8 pounds of additional weight, letting you customize your workout depending on your strength or fitness goals. By combining the body sculpting weights with a fat-burning cardio routine, you can burn up to three times more fat than cardio alone. Simply pick your resistance level for each workout--the weights screw easily onto the handles in a clockwise motion--and increase the resistance as you become stronger, leaner, and more confident. Even better, the handles and weights are designed to work exclusively with the Firm's unique blend of aerobic and body sculpting exercises. When used in conjunction with the Firm Master Instructor's directions, you will begin toning and burning fat immediately.

This product is really great. I enjoy working out and the routines are not super difficult.Customer Review: Fresh, Fun & Effective
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I had very good success with previous Firm workouts; in particular the older ones & the BSS2 (Total Sculpt plus Abs, Maximum Cardio Burn, & Complete Aerobics & Weight Training). The reason I strayed--as much as the fanny lifter did great things for my posterior, it wreaked havoc on my knees. I was so delighted to see these new videos without the step! They have helped me build up my strength & endurance again, where I'm able to throw in some of my Firm's with the step back into the mix. They've updated the workouts, with new moves, good music & an overall fun factor. The lunges without a box makes you feel muscles you haven't in awhile & that's great, because not everyone can do or wants to do step aerobics; or if you just can't master that 14 inch platform like myself. I have a problem with the cuing at times--especially in Hi-Def Sculpt. Annie doesn't do a very good job. In a live class a miscue is understandable; but when something is taped--it should be re-done to present a professional & polished product.
Hard Core Fusion will make you sweat as will Cardio Party. Cardio Overdrive is a nice cardio with light weights and all these are cued well. There are some different moves & twists on old standards. Tweaking tried & true exercises never hurts & will only help you see continued results.
While in most cases new weights aren't needed by most, the neoprene grip on the cardio weights is a much welcome design. (I sweat alot & sometimes am worried about slippage). There isn't enough weight for itermediate/advanced exercisers to use for sculpting; but for a cardio/sculpt workout, you shouldn't use much more than 5-6 lbs anyway. It is enough weight to start for a novice.
The retail kit available here is quite different than the infomercial kit. There are far less weights--thus the cheaper price. I would rather have seen four extra weight plates so you could make a pair of 5 pound dumbbells rather than the extra set of 1 pound handles. I ordered the retail kit & will say the case that comes with that is much nicer. Why? The center of the retail case is big enough to hold a DVD case. The infomercial purple case IS NOT. This makes the other case great for travel. The Transfirmation DVD's (all four discs) are in one DVD case, which means I can put any four exercise DVD's in that case & have a pair of 3lb weights (which is fine for cardio intensification when on the road) all together.
I'm glad they've gone back to the basics. The first two Firm volumes there was no step in sight. This new series provides some great variety & will give you results.
Customer Review: Good Workout
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I have been a Firm fan for sometime now, and really like the fact that they have come up with a series that does not need fanny lifters and sculpting sticks.
Pros:
Great workouts with express option for those short on time days, now you really have no excuse not to work out.
You don't waste 5 minutes of a 30 minute workout assembling steps. Although I love the fanny lifter, sometimes I just want to workout without having to move things around a million times.
The work outs get you moving, and sweating and maybe tough for beginners, but are ok for intermediate levels.
Good explanations about proper form. I like the fact that they have a Bonus feature on the menu that explains some moves. This way you can really practice the move, before you start the workout.
Hi-Def Sculpt and hard core fusion (Allie is great, as always) are the best videos. The cardio party gets a little too "dancy" for me, but I am beginning to enjoy it. Cardio overdrive is fine; I like Ultimate Fat Burning by the same instructor more than the Cardio Overdrive (you have to purchase this DVD separately).
The instructors do quite a bit of "Waist work". This is a problem area for me and I especially enjoy the workout because of the streches and wood chop moves. Other firm tapes I have do not address this area as much.
The Sets are good, so it's visually pleasing.
Cons:
Sometimes the Cueing is off, and that can get irritating.
Music could be better.
WEIGHTS!!! They add up to just 3 pounds per dumbbell, I just use the 5 and 8 pounds dumb bells I had at home.
I think the pros out weigh the Cons and the 4 stars( I would like to give it a 4 and 1/2 rating) are just because I thought I would be getting a better set of weights.
Customer Review: Great product!
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I think this product is great! Although, as an extremely obese and out of shape person, I don't recommend trying to do any of these videos except Hi-Def sculpt if your obese or overweight, because the other videos are pretty fast paced, I tried doing cardio party, I could only do 15 minutes, and I felt like I was going to pass out after.
I still think this product is worth it though because when I lose more weight, I'll definitely be able to enjoy the other workouts, and I'm really looking forward to that too! I really love the Hi-def sculpt workout, it's slower paced, but still gets me to work up a sweat, and it's not boring to me!
A faster paced video, but not as fast as cardio party that I like is Total Body Toner, it doesn't come with this set, but I like that one too.
The reason that I gave this review a 4 is because this kit only comes with 3lb weights, and two 1lb weights, but the women in the videos are using 5lb weights or more. I'm thinking of buying a set of weights, but probably not the ones that go with this set, making the ones that come with it practically useless to me, or I could pay like $25 at The FIRM's website for like 4 more 1lb weights... I haven't decided yet.
Customer Review: Love it!

As the proud owner of a whole library of unused workout DVD's, let me start by saying I'm no expert on workouts. I'm a novice, to say the least, and more often than not I quit my fitness plan before it's even started. But not this time.
I bought this set for myself for my birthday, and I have been using it for about a month now. I absolutely love this set, almost 100% -- with the exception of Cardio Party. I usually skip that one, mainly because my feet get tangled up trying to do some of those moves. On the other DVD's, though, the workouts are varied and always changing, and just when I think I might pass out, the instructor moves on to something else. Using the weights has really done a lot for my muscle tone, and it gets my heart rate up while making me feel strong. I love that!
Using this system -- and Crunch Pilates on the days Cardio Party is scheduled -- I have already lost several inches over most of my body, all except my arms, which are getting toned and defined like never before. I love that I feel successful when I do these DVD's, and even if they're not challenging enough for some, they certainly do the trick for someone like me. :)
