First off, I can't believe how cheap these DVDs are now. I bought this set when it first came out and spent quite a bit. Having said that, this is one incredible set of workout DVDs. I swear by BSS2. I have 3 and 4 and still turn to 2 over and over as I find it to be the most effective. I lost a quick 20 lbs in about 2 months of doing this workout. I ate right, too, though. It incorporates a lot of weights and strength training mixed in with aerobic activity and also mixes upper body with lower body. It is hard the first, I would say 5-10 times, but gets much easier with practice. Start slow and do not use weights in the first 3 or 4 workouts. Follow all the rules for beginners. Once you master the moves then you can add weights or get tricky. Don't get discouraged in the beginning because you might not be able to follow every move to a tee. You will get it eventually and as long as you are moving it is working. One thing to remember is to try to use good form when doing any of the weight training. The instructors are very good about emphasizing that for you. The Maximum Cardio Burn DVD is GREAT! I love it. It really is one that you can start out as a beginner and add much more intensity to it as you get better. That's one of my favorite things about the FIRM, you can keep adding intensity to keep challenging yourself. If you are looking for a really effective group of DVDs these are it! Oh but make sure you pick up a fanny lifter and the weighted stick.

I love the Firm and I had these VHS tapes from 3 years ago but wanted them on DVD and they were the most affordable here. These are really effective if you stick to them. The Firm has never let me down and this system (Body Sculpting System 2) is my favorite of them all. The Complete Aerobics & Weight Training DVD is amazing and the others are wonderful as well.

These DVD's are amazing. In a few weeks I have seen wonderful results. I work out at home daily and these are my new favorites.

I have yet to be able to finish one of the workouts without feeling like I'm going to DIE! This is a REALLY GOOD set of videos! It really works you! Not for the beginner though, but you could get it and build your way up. Adjust some of the steps to your speed and work on it. It's a MUST BUY for anyone trying to lose weight and tone up!

I have this set on VHS but the tapes are old and losing quality. I decided to purchase the set on DVD so I could continue with the workouts that I enjoy. The Firm workouts are great, I love what the fanny lifter does to my lower body.

Don't let the cover fool you! I actually already had this set stashed away somewhere, but this cover is different than the one used when the Firm first released this series. Because the woman on the cover isn't a leader in any of the videos, I thought it was a different set. That being said, I am happy with the product. One of my DVDs had broken, so I was glad to have a replacement. This is a fantastic set! I love all of the Firm products, and these DVDs are especially tough. You will need to have the Fanny Lifter and Scupting stick for these videos - or at very least, a stackable step and a broom handle or something similar. They are tough, but good. Each video is about 50 minutes. Also, if you have bad knees, the 14-inch step is very difficult to do properly. I often find myself using the 8-inch piece by itself. The instructors all do a good job of cueing the moves. Total Sculpt Plus Abs is a strength and toning video. There is little cardio, though you will find your heart rate stays up through the whole thing because you alternate and sometimes combine upper and lower body exercises. Complete Aerobics and Weight Training will leave you utterly exhausted! It's easily my favorite of the videos. The lead, Emily, has an infectious enthusiasm, and has designed fun aerobics moves. The cardio sections that use the step require time to master. I tend to trip over my own two feet quite a bit! Maximum Cardio Burn is a fast-paced cardio workout. It does give you breathers every now and then by using the Fanny Lifter for slower glute & leg work. If you are seriously overweight, you will likely find it difficult to complete, but hang in there. It does get easier. I have not gotten strong enough to master all of the Firm Abs workout. It is divided into 3 short sections with increasing intensity. They can be completed individually or as a unit. The exercises go well beyond standard crunches, though they certainly have their place. The first section left me feeling like rubber for 3 days. You can't go wrong with this set. Just make sure you have the Fanny Lifter (or Transfirmer) and Sculpting Stick, or suitable substitutes, or these videos will be worthless to you.

These are excellent workouts for anyone wanting to get in shape at home. They all can be modified for the beginner or advanced exerciser. You'll have to buy the "fanny lifer" for these workouts, so if you don't already have, you'll need to purchase separately.

These DVDs are the best! They say visible results in 10 workouts or less and they aren't kidding. I definately recommend these DVDs if you're serious about working out and losing weight. They combine aerobics and strength training to give you the results that you want. Each DVD workout is easy to learn after a few tries and the results are amazing. Personally I use the DVDs four times a week and have already noticed amazing results. The only downfall to the whole workout system is that they require additional workout tools. Make sure you have a 3 in 1 sculpting stick and the fanny lifter and you're good to go. I highly recomend these DVDs

So far I have been using this dvd package for two weeks and already I am beginning to notice a difference in my thighs and abs. I really like the combination of weights, cardio, and abs along with strength training. The program is designed to keep your heart rate going while working key areas. I have not been bored, and I don't see that happening for a while. I am fully challenged each time I do this work out. And the price is great for all you get.
