Sunny: Cyprinodon had a good suggestion. I know the Firm did a set of 3 "basic" tapes but I've never done them - they came out several years after I started Firming. I personally started with Vol. 3 but I'd hate to admit how long it took before I could do it let alone do it with weights It still kicks my butt more than any of the other Firms. I have to be having a "good" day before I even attempt it Do you have any of the tapes or are you just considering getting some? Do you use weights now? Are you just a "beginner" to the Firm or a "beginner" to exercise? Other than the basics and the newer tapes from this past winter, I own them all (43 or so). If you have any questions I can try to give you an honest opinion if that would help you. And of course, I'm sure the others here would put their suggestions/comments in too. HTH
