My friend and The Firm

I've got a friend who lives in Montgomery, where we met in college. Smart lady, about the same height and build as me, strong in her faith. She's got 10-15 pounds that she'd like to drop. She called me one day to ask about The Firm, and I gave her the lowdown. She made it clear that "I want to use whatever you're using." She and her family have only 10 hours of internet use a month, so I happily did the research for her on barely used Firm sytems on eBay. She bought The Firm tapes and Fanny Lifter within the week.


She's been cracking me up ever since she started with it. E-mail: "Screams... of happiness, I got The Firm in the mail two days ago. ...of agony, I did the Cardio Sculpt tape yesterday. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being Miss Muscle Beach and 1 being dead, I'd say I was a 2-1/2." She loves the system, and has found how hard it works her even being low-impact.


Last week I knew she was scheduled to start using the Body Sculpt tape with Jenn as the instructor. Jenn has the body I want, though I have to keep in mind she's about 15 years or so younger (it doesn't seem that her hips are spread from childbirth). The Body Sculpt takes the weight work on the Cardio tape, eliminates the cardio which normally gives you a rest, and multiplies the intensity and concentration on the upper and lower body. I still groan doing it, and I've been working at it for almost a month since restarting my regimen. Yesterday I got a *very* short e-mail, three words, from my friend summing up her first experience with the Body Sculpt: "I hate Jenn." I almost fell out of my chair laughing!

Love the punchline! I'm sure your friend will stick with.

I love that Body Sculpt tape, and Jen DOES look good! I have some older Firm tapes that have some of the floor exercises I miss, so I wish I had a couple of hours & I'd do 2 tapes for my total body workout! There's lots of squats & lunges on that Body Sculpt tape & I have trouble getting back into it if I take a break for a week or so from the tape (& talk about a sore body!).

That was very funny to read. I kind of hate this one lady at Curves.........I call her the Flashdance Lady. She does this real quick run on the platforms. And she is skinny, blonde hair, and pretty. Did I mention I do not like her?
