FitPrime Live G-Force 3 and G-Force 4 . This is a two DVD set. G-Force workouts are rebounder workouts created by Anna Benson of Fitness Favorite, FitPrime and The FIRM fame. In G-Force 4 , Carissa Foster, Tracie Long, Cindy Thorp and Eleanor Washburn takes you through a 53-minute fusion style workout. This workout encompasses a medicine ball, a rebounder, weights, tall steps and includes sculpting, cardio, pilates, and yoga style moves.

The FIRM Core Cardio 1 is a 47 minute compilation workout made up of parts from  three FIRM workouts, Cardio Burn, Maximum Cardio, and Power Cardio.  It features Carissa Foster, Tamela Hasties, and Dale Brabham as the leads. The workout has a core/ab section at the beginning of the workout.  After that, the three ladies take you through a series of floor aerobics, box aerobics, medicine ball aerobics, and 4-limb aerobics.  There is quite a bit of impact in this workout and while there is a lot of variety overall, many of the individual segments are repetitive. The one gripe I have about the workout is when the workouts went into the 4-limb segments (there were about three), all the Ooommph and intensity seem to go out of the workout.  The workouts uses a short and tall box (there is a series of tall box climbs), a medicine ball, and light dumbbells. 3 & 1/4 stars
