Title:

The Firm Power Half Hour

Release date:

2008

Description: 
This is a fast paced, thirty minute workout that combines strength training and cardio. There was a warm up (about 4 minutes); separated strength and cardio intervals: first strength, then first cardio, then second strength, then second cardio (of about 5 minutes each totaling 20 minutes, making up the meat of the workout); a quick standing ab routine and plank work following the final cardio segment (about 3 minutes-no poundage used here); and a final cool down/stretch (about 4 minutes).   Videofitness.com,  

Claim: Complete workout in thirty minutes.  Visible results in ten workouts.  

Level of difficulty: Intermediate.  It took four workouts for me to finally get through the workout without stumbling.  By the time I got to the eighth workout, I finally got the hang of it.  I was completely drenched with sweat at the end of every session. I was glad to see the timer hit twenty minutes because that signaled that the end was near.  

Recommendation: I would recommend it only if you are used to exercising. The cardio sessions move at a fast pace and are somewhat difficult to keep up with.  The results are worth the effort.  I had a lot of energy and began to see some muscle definition in my arms.
