If there were ever a key piece of advice I could give about maintaining a workout regjme, this would be one to take note of and never forget,
If you keep doing the same thing, you will get the same results.
Be willing to periodically change up your workout routine.
As you surprise your body with a new and different physical challenge, your body will be prompted to respond in a manner that speeds up your metabolism, burning more calories and fat than if you just continued doing the same routine day after day.
The Firm workouts were just what I needed to move beyond my usual cardio routine. It was at this time that I needed to be challenged by lifting weights that were heavier than my usual 3 lb. weights. The original Firm Workout Program was designed and produced by the Benson sisters in the 80's. Other companies have continued to produce a variation of the original Firm Workout, but I've found that they are not as rigorous as the 80's original Volumes 1-4 set of DVDs.
The first volume of DVDs are at least an hour in length and do a thorough job of toning all major muscle groups with light (3-5 lbs), medium (5-8 lbs), and heavy (10 lbs and up) weights. They also include a lengthy floor routine to work the thighs and buttocks using ankle weights (1 1/2 - 3 lb) and heavy weights. I highly suggest that on your first attempts at doing the workouts, DON'T USE WEIGHTS. Watch the videos through the first time that you get them and on your first try at it, do the routine with no weights at all. As your body adjust to the routine itself, incorporate weights as you feel comfortable. If you choose to go with the original volume of Firm workouts, you'll have to be comfortable with working out to 80s music and watching instructors with leg warmers and bright, wild colors. I find it rather entertaining.
The Firm is by far the most complete workout routine to lengthen and tone your muscles. If you're ready for a challenge, dust off your leg warmers and drag that step box out of your garage and get to work!
