Super Cardio Sculpt is a 40 minute workout led by Nancy Tucker. This workout came as an add-on to the original FIRM Body Sculpting System. Of the nine workouts that came as part of that system, this and Body Sculpt were and still are my two favorites. Super Cardio Sculpt breaks down as follows: Segment 1 - warm up Segment 2 - 4 limb aerobics (uses light weights) Segment 3 - Step aerobics (using the top portion of the fanny lifter) Segment 4 - Low impact floor aerobics Segment 5 - Step aerobics Segment 6 - Low impact floor aerobics Segment 7 - Tall Box climb using light weight (shortest segment) Segment 8 - Step Aerobics Cool Down Segment 9 - Stretch.

The workout was also released on VHS. Of the 10 segments, 7 of the segments contain squats of some sort which started to annoy me. "How many times can we do squats in a 30 minute workout?", I pondered by the fourth time they cropped up. The segments are broken down into low impact floor aerobics, box step aerobics, four-limb (using light weights) aerobic. All of the combinations are very basic and easy to learn. It has been quite awhile since I the last time I did this workout. In fact, so long that I can't tell you when. I thought I remember the workout having more intensity, more pizazz, more oomph! but it is lacking in all that and more. Lisa tried to give the workout energy but it...
