The FIRM Time Crunch Cardio - Thoughts

Time Crunch Cardio consist of three 20 minute workouts featuring Allie Del Rio as the lead. The three 20 minute workouts are self contain workouts in
that they each contain their on warm up and cool down.
There are two other cast members. Jen does advance moves. Rebekah does the beginner modification and she is truly modifying the moves. She doesn't use weight and she does all of the blast with virtually no impact.

The three workouts are:
Cardio + Sculpt Combo
Fat Blasting Bursts
Calorie Burning Cardio
I have included break downs for both Cardio + Sculpt Combo and Fat Blasting Bursts. Both of these workouts use weights and they have cardio burst/blast.
Also, both workouts use a lot of multi-joint compound exercises. Lots of layering. So at any one point you could be doing 4 exercises in combination.
If I had to differentiate between the two, I would say Cardio + Sculpt Combos lean towards being slow and heavy whereas Fat Blasting Burst is more fast and light. (Heavy and Light in terms of weight used). I thought the tempo on Fat Blasting Burst a little faster than Cardio + Sculpt Combo.
Calorie Burning Cardio does not use weights. I think this is great because so many of the FIRM cardio workouts use weights. Also this workout has the best music. The music in the other two seemed more background. I like the mini routines that Allie came up with. I just thought a couple of them a bit too long.

The DVD:
The menu has options to choose any one of the three workouts. Each workout is chapter but there is not a separate menu that breaks down each workout. You can chapter pass the warm ups or to a certain section in any of the workouts if you want.

Cardio + Sculpt Combo - 3 1/2 stars
Fat Blasting Bursts - 3 1/2 stars
Calorie Burning Cardio - 3 3/4 stars
