Smile new to firm

Hi everyone,
I just ordered the Firm tapes with the stick a few minutes ago. I was doing Winsor Pilates and while I like that, I need the cardio. I have never done the Firm before and am a little frightened but I fell for the infomercial so here goes. I am hoping they arrive by next week so I can start doing them while children are in school. Any other newbies here?? I have been LCing since late June. Donnie

I ordered the new tapes, I bet it was several months ago, time flies! Anyway, I love them. Since there are 3, it's takes a while to get all of the routines down, but I LOVE them!! I don't think they took too long to arrive.

They are fun, and since there are 3, you get a variety and don't have to worry about boredom.

Good luck!

PS Have the Winsor Pilates tapes helped? Do you see any results? I am such a sucker for ordering these things. I really want it, but I have been holding off. I ordered the Power 90 before I saw The Firm and I don't like it at all. Therefore, I don't want to waste any more money!

MsBrisby,
You can check Mari Winsor's book, The Pilates Powerhouse in any bigger bookstore, to see a preview of the exercises on the tape. (Or even you can buy it for $18.)
For reviews, I would recommend this independent site: http://www.fitnessinfomercialreview...sor_pilates.htm
I learned the basic of Pilates from another source, and with that knwoledge the book was more than enough for me.

I discovered the firm in 1992 and I think they are the best. I own 35 tapes and they have proven to be a wonderful investment. Do them 3-6 times per week, continue low carbing and you WILL drop sizes. Just think about where you want to be by the holidays!!!! You will be sore the first week, but continue to work past the soreness.
