As another reviewer stated this is NOT the workout with Kai and Susan. This one is a brand new Firm release featuring Rebekah Sturkie... and by far the best they have put out in a long time. Rebekah is a natural in front of the camera and is just a joy to workout with. The music is fun and I even found myself humming one of the tunes the other day... that is a rarity for Firm workouts. The workout is 45 minutes and alternates cardio with toning, in classic Firm style. There is an express pre mix with just the toning segments. The only thing that could make this DVD perfect would be to have a cardio only premix, but you can use the skip button on your remote and do this yourself. The cardio is all Hi-Low and the only equipment needed is a set of dumbells. This workout is as easy or as hard as you make it and is really fun. If you can only buy ONE of the new releases, THIS is the one.

I think its a shame how Amazon has really gotten confused over these new Firm DVDs. First, this is not the "old" Time Crunch with Susan Harris and Kai Soremekun. This is a "new" Time Crunch with Rebekah Sturkie and all the "youngin" Firm ladies. (Though Allie and Sue Mi have been there since the mid-90's and are still in the set).
I bought this from the Firm site as a 5-DVD package (which includes others listed to be released in December on Amazon). The DVD is interesting. Quite different from the "old" ones, though. No step or fanny lifter involved. Just good ol' cardio and weights!
Also of note, Amazon has a few titles listed under "The Firm" which are Gaiam releases, not "The Firm" brand. I am sure people who pre-ordered these titles will be surprised when they get them and they see they're not "The Firm". Oh well.

Great all around cardio plus strength workout - gets a lot in for 45"! Interestingly, despite its age, it uses intervals to maximal effect - a very modern technique to maximize calorie burning! For intermediate to advanced level - gives a great workout without over-stressing joints, or excessively high impact. Pairs very nicely with another Firm workout - Maximum Body Shaping with Tracy Long. That workout is billed as "strength, but is actually also an intermediate level interval cardio workout. Alternate these two, and you won't recognize your body in a month!

I have been trying to find a way/person to get all my old Firm VHS tapes on DVD!! I love these old tapes - as someone else on another review said: they seem much more intense, even with the older look and approach. The moves are still not all that different from the "new Firm" moves. This "express" was express only by the other tapes' standards at about 60 minutes a piece...express is still 45 here, and at least 35 of it was intense. I find the classic Firm harder to get all the way through without gasping for air than some of the newer ones.

Certainly one of the "classic" Firm workouts. A solid workout, Susan Harris who leads part of the exercises is one of my all-time favorites! I found the floor and step aerobics a little too "jazz dancy" for my tastes. And this is a "classic," in that much more up-to-date workouts are now available.
