Fat to Firm Fast

I just bought this and tried it today. I really liked it as well.

1. There is a one background exerciser with a body type that is not normally shown in videos; that is, she isn't tiny and ripped.

2. I generally hate functional fitness stuff but really enjoyed this one. Doing squats while picking up a dumbbell from the floor, then coming up to a front raise is similar to something I do at work constantly - pick up very full 4" binders from the floor and then putting them on a shelf someplace.

3. Loved the tricep work where you do a plank on your knees with a tricep pushup, then come back into a down dog.

4. I liked the twisting variations a lot.

I really liked the different level choices. It is a video that you can adjust to your strength and energy level each day.

This one's a keeper.
