Cardio Dance Club, Target Toning Zero in Ten, Total Body Toner, or Bootcamp: Maximum Calorie Burn?

I'm looking to maybe add some new dvd's to my collection. I just can't really get into my Jillian Michaels ones. Maybe I'll try them again at some point. The programs I listed seem fun and interesting on the website, but I'm just hoping for some input from my fellow Firm-believers. :smile:

Thanks.

    I checked out Cardio Dance Club from the library and have done a couple of the workouts. Like most Firm videos, they don't teach you the moves first so you have to figure it out as you work along. I liked that I was constantly moving but I was not sweating like I would with a normal cardio workout. I would not buy the video but if you find it at your local library, definitely pick it up for something different to exercise to.

    Thanks for that! I just hate buying a workout dvd and end up hating it so I don't do it.

    Maybe I'll see what the local library has to offer. :smile:

    I have Target Toning Zero in Ten and have done a couple of the workouts and I like it. It's good for those days where you are short on time and just want to hit a few target areas.

    my most favorite recent addition is the 500 calorie workout with Kelsie. That thing makes me SWEAT! add in the weights and I am one sore girl after! Also, since I'm heavier, I burn more than the 500 cals that the video says= win! (well, until I get down to 150 lbs, then I'll be right where it says)

    Cardio dance party is fun, not quite the burn you would get with a live Zumba class but I feel spoiled I took a live class with Allie when this DVD first came out. Bootcamp Max Calorie burn is really good,- A couple are the newer ones which I don't have. If you don't have any of Kelsie's workouts you might check out Tight Buns and Killer legs- fantastic workout.

    I live in Columbia and Allie still teaches at the Firm in Lexington- next town over. I so want to go someday and take a class with her but I worry that I would be so starstruck that I would fall on my face! She also owns a hair salon right over by 2 of my accounts :)

    I've gone to Columbia/ Lexington from the west coast for a couple of their weekend classes they do for FIRMies -Allie is the sweetest and yes I'm so star struck, with pictures taken with all the instructors-even drove to Charleston to go to a place where a former Firm instructor taught to take classes! You should go- they just built a new studio but I haven't been to it- its been about 4 years since I've been able to get back there. I remember a couple of people went to her hair salon too ;-)
