The Firm: Coretoner Plus Kit

I wanted something for a little stretching and toning the lower body. It has some tough parts and I could really feel my hips when i was finished. It could not be for everyone but it sure works for me!

This DVD is not worth the money. The workout does not tone the core. The ball is held in hands and raised or passed behind the back. I spent more time picking up and taking off the band than the exercise. It is not a good workout. Save your money and look for something else.

This DVD workout is pretty good. However, the instructor does move very fast inbetween moves. It can be a bit difficult to keep up. Overall, my legs were burning by the end of the DVD. It was quick paced and was only 20 minutes long.

Been a Firm Believer for 23 years now, and this is a pretty good vid. Packs in a lot in a short time and will def get the heart pumping!

I bought this workout because I love all things FIRM and have been really impressed with their newest workouts out in 2010. This workout, however, was a complete waste of 20 minutes. I've never been more irritated with wasting money before. Two reps in, Emily is saying, "Oh, it burns!" No, it doesn't, because I'm used to working out for at least 40 minutes at a time at a much higher intensity and pace. This workout is a lower-body and core focused workout, but I'd say it's only for beginners or those who are very overweight. I didn't even break a sweat on this workout, which is saying something, because I sweat during almost every workout! Don't waste your money on this one. Rebekah's 20-minute Cardio Gloves is a much better deal, with equipment you can use in other workouts too!

The band broke the fourth time I used it. Amazon.com sent me a replacement kit, but the new band is just as flimsy as the first one, so I am afraid to use it for some of the exercises that stretch it to its limits. I think that part of the problem is that the instructor is quite short, and I am 5'9'' tall, so the band can't stretch as far as I need it to. Another problem with the workout is that the instructor goes very fast and uses too many words to describe each change in position. This results in it being more like playing Twister (right hand here, left foot there) than doing a workout. I was also disappointed with the attention paid to biceps and triceps exercises, which I do not think are necessary for a core and lower body routine. Overall I like The Firm, but I think this is one of their lesser offerings. I do not recommend this product.

I was not very impressed with this fitness video, I found it lacking in many ways, and not up to the high standards that I have come to expect from The FIRM video workouts that I have used in the past. In short, I think it was a waste of money!

I always like firm video. this workout is excellent if you are looking to change your routine from the firm usally routine (fanny lifter)
