The FIRM FIRM Basics Abs, Buns, & Thighs Workout with Stacey Millner-Collins is a 45 minute total body workout geared towards the beginner exerciser.   While this is a total body workout, the emphasis in this workout is on the abs, buns and thighs.  Throughout the workout, you will be doing several sets of exercises that focus on these areas. The first set of 'abs & core' is performed lying and the second set of 'abs & core' is performed seated. The cardio segments are performed in a control manner.  One cardio segment uses the dowel (dowel aerobics) and one segment is 4-limbed movement.

I have done several of Jessica's walking workouts.  The music and exercises chosen have appeared in other workouts. Thus, I felt a real familiarity with workouts.  I have included a list of the exercises Jessica performs in this workout. While I only listed the exercise once, some of the exercises Jessica repeats as she moves through the workout. Buns and Thighs Walk - 3 & 3/4 stars Flat Abs Walk - 3 stars
