Body Sculpt Blaster is part of The Firm’s Body Sculpting System 1. It is led by trainer Nancy Tucker. When I did this workout this morning I did not remember it, so it must have been a Firm workout I purchased then never got around to doing. I was definitely missing out! This is an excellent total body strength workout! My shoulders and legs are still burning several hours later. And I love the length. At only 33 minutes this is a thorough total body workout if you are short on time and if you aren’t, it is perfect for using add ons. I am currently working through Firm Express so I added a 20 minute Express workout on to the end of this and I was seriously fried and worn out by the time I was finished! Together they both worked me hard!
And again with the workout titles! No wonder I never did it–I probably thought I had done it. The title sounds like a handful of other Firm workouts and the cover looks the same, too!
Body Sculpt Blaster is 33 minutes; 2 minute intro, 4:30 minute warm up and 3:30 minute stretch. Equipment: Fanny Lifter or high/square step that raises to 14 inches and dumbbells.
