The FIRM ZipTrainer FIRM & Cardio Upper Body - Review



 FIRM & Cardio Upper Body is set up very similarly to its Lower Body counterpart.
The DVD menu gives you the following options:
Play All
Cardio Workout
Upper Body Workout

Hitting Play All gives you a 30 minute workout.  Selecting either of the other two option would give you an 18 minute workout.

Both of the workouts feature 3 segments (either cardio or sculpting) followed by an SBT (Short Burst Training).  The SBT is 30 seconds of intensity followed by 30 seconds of recovery before moving on to the next segment.

Like the Cardio Lower Body workout, the Upper Body Cardio Workout contained a lot of 4 limb total body exercises.  So you are working both the lower and upper body.  For example, in one of the cardio segments, Emily has you lunging and dipping off the dome in addition to performing upper body moves with the core ball.

For the Upper Body Sculpting Workout, the segments are divided into the following categories:
Segment 1:  back and biceps
Segment 2:  chest and triceps
Segment 3:  Shoulders and core

This workout flows fairly well and the music is energetic. 
The two Ultimate Edition workouts are definitely my favorites out of all the ZipTrainer workouts.

  1. Hi Saundra, I've gone back to really enjoying the firm workouts. I'm making my way through the firm express. Very tempted to buy the zip trainer after your reviews.
