As someone who owns the ORIGINAL workouts that this title is comprised of, I know that “The Firm Boot Camp 101″ should probably be an awesome, effective and fun workout. I know this because The Firm’s “Slim Without the Gym” and “Fat-Burning Sculpting Ball Workout” are both great workouts. This program basically takes the “Sculpting Ball” workout and interjects the jump-roping cardio section of “Slim W/o the Gym. ” In doing this, however, I personally don’t think they improved anything. In fact, with the original “Sculpting Ball,” you at least get to choose the weight of the ball (4 lbs. , 6 lbs. or a monstrous 8 lbs. ) With this program, you are given the 4 lb. , which is fine for me, but may be too light for some. As far as the boredom argument goes, the original “Slim w/o. . . ” uses THREE pieces of equipment: jump-rope, resistance cord and resistance loop. Again, in my opinion, the original wins. AND both original programs have both cardio and sculpting already. . . Your choice. But if you don’t have either DVD, hey, being a huge fan of The Firm, I’m sure you will find “Boot Camp 101″ fun and effective. If you DO have both workouts, however, don’t fall for this marketing gimmick!
