This video misrepresents itself. Although the title is Low Impact Aerobics, it is not low impact. The cardio intervals include jogging, jumping jacks, and other moves with hops. This is a 65-minute reissue of a 1988 video that features Janet Jones-Gretzky, who is so slim that you can count her ribs through her white leotard, leading a class of fit, gorgeous exercisers (female and male). This aerobic interval workout combines fast cardio (no patterns) with more controlled cardio plus weights, though still at a fast pace. We've learned a lot about exercise since 1988, and these two-second reps with weights are not as effective as slower reps. They are also more likely to lead to injury. Although the video is targeted to all levels, unless you're an experienced exerciser, it's too easy to lose correct form when you're doing such fast reps and aerobic moves at the same time. You might find the weight intervals repetitious (tons of lunges and shoulder presses). A floor-work segment uses ankle weights, followed by a stretch. Unless you miss the old Firm workouts, choose one that is more up to date (and therefore safer and more effective). --Joan Price

- Older video but definitely does the jobI started doing this exercise tape when I was in high school (18 years ago), and I LOVE it. I wish it was on DVD. I agree that a lot of things have changed in the exercise world since this tape was originally made, but it remains the best workout video I've ever done. If you stick with it, you will DEFINITELY notice a difference in your body in 10 workouts.

- Great workout classicI originally bought this tape back in the late 90's, and it was one of my first Firm workouts. It is very complete- you get about a half-hour of aerobics with light-to-medium weights, then 20 minutes or so of floor work, then a long stretch. It is 65 minutes total, but really isn't exhausting. It works every body part, but I would say this workout is mostly for the maintenance of muscle, not to build lots of muscle mass. It is VERY 80's, but if you don't mind that, invest in this workout.

- Not Low Impact- but definitely the best!I no longer have a VCR- does anyone know where I can get this on DVD? I can't find it anywhere and because it's copywrighted no place in town will convert it for me. Please hit me up if you have any info on how to find this on DVD.

- Perfect for serious exerciseYAY!! I LOVE this one!
I did it so often I know it by heart. I also own most of the FIRM videos, and this one is definitely the most difficult of all my exercise tapes. I actually tape recorded it, and when I travel I take my ipod with me and do it to that (since I know the routine).
You should see my body, thanks to this tape. It takes an hour and you will sweat! The ab work could be a bit tougher, and you have to stretch your pecs a lot more after you're done, otherwise ... Read More

- It's an oldie but very very GOODIE!!!This is my favorite firm of the 6 volumes. Because this workout only require ankle weights and multiple dumbell sizes. You will see results after 3 or 4 workouts instead of 10 as they specify. If you have bad kness you might not be able to do it, but if not it is doable!!
