Picked up the Firm Express set today, planning on starting fresh on Mondya with it. Has anybody else tried this program? Any tips or suggestions if you have??

    Hi I just started this on Sunday. I do workout 3 tomorrow. Love it so far! They go by really fast and you feel great after. I also have been trying to do a little walking after the workouts.

    Here's my suggestion...warm up before starting the workouts. I have found that if I'm already warmed up, I can do each exercise more intensively, without worrying about getting hurt. I warm up for 5-8 minutes by marching, then I start do squats, heel lifts, the V-step, and even jumping jacks.

    I also add a second routine on days when I feel pretty strong - maybe the Pump It Up workout or the Abs workout, or even jumping rope. I've ordered other short workouts by The Firm and I will add them to my workout after I've done the Express DVD. I have also done 2 Express workouts in a row, and by the second one, I'm spent. Even if you get through 5 min or 10 min of a second Express workout, it's a true accomplishment!

    Had a rough start, was all gung ho and between work schedules, school schedules and holiday events I have fallen WAY off track, at this point I'm hoping to get back on track at least a little bit this week (had to buy a pair of pants and almost cried in the dressing room)

    I started The Firm Express in December 2011. If you have completed the program, please share your story. I am wondering if I should continue with the program, or try something different. :smile:

    How are you tracking The Firm workouts in MyFitnessPal? It's a mix of cardio and weights? Wondering what everyone else is doing.

    I just ordered these this week after loving their longer workouts. I ordered a hrm and watch that tracks calories so I can put in the correct amount of calories burned. I'm just sticking it under cardio (that's where I put the longer ones).
