Image
Calorie Killer was part of the Body Sculpting System 2 set of workouts. Of all the FIRM systems BSS2 is probably my favorite. Calorie Killer features Nancy Tucker (also one of my favorites) in a 39 minute workout. The workout is cardio based and it contains the FIRM's signature 4 limb movement.

There are two sets of tall box climbs (not my favorites) and one set Nancy has you disassemble the sculpting stick and use the twigs to work the upper body as you climb the tall box. I love the floor and step aerobics segments. 3 1/2 out of 5 stars

Those sections were slow and awkward. Maximum Cardio Burn also features a standing leg toning section and a very tough abdominal se...
