...of your first Firm workout! Since Anna is re-issuing, I thought this would be neat! :cool:

Annette,

I didn't start with the classics like a lot of other people. My first FIRMs were Upper Body, Standing Legs, Tough Tape 2 and 5 Day Abs from the the FIRM 4 pack. At the time, I stumbled on them at Sam's club. I started with the classics when I found out the library had them and from there I started collecting...

The thing that is really wonderful, is that while time passes, the effectiveness of the workouts don't. I've pulled out my classics and have been incorporating them into my current routine with some of Anna's newer work and meeting with a trainer once a week. I'm down 3 pounds and rather happy about this! I knew I had to pull them out, because if I can keep up with the classics, it'll really help me to keep up with the trainer. I am feeling like I'm standing taller and seeing my energy levels increase again.

I took dance when I was younger, danced in high school and flirted with fitness in college along with cheerleading. I did have a Firm tape in my younger days, when I wasn't much into fitness. My moment when I was doing a publicity **** for grad school, when I saw boobs and belly. I had to do something. That was in 2005. I went to library and got workouts. Ironically my neighbor, ran The Firm in Irmo. So she let me borrow hers as well. I was totally hooked and haven't looked back since.

I didn't realize Anna had started Fitprime until I was looking for another workout to do, and searched under "Anna Benson." My first of Fitprime was Strong Bear with Tracie.

I have gone from a believer to full blown collector! I have all the Firms and Fitprimes ever made! Including Ballroom Aerobics. I am always looking at garage sales, thrift stores, eBay and Goodwill for old Firm items. Still haven't found hats and T-shirts, sweatshirts, etc. But I still have my old sweatshirt. And found 2 Firm large mugs and a few other items.

I have decided when I die, all my items are goin' to the museum!

I rented Volume 1 at Blockbuster, but they didn't have any for sale. I ordered a step bench thru the mail and then I received a catalog from the Firm, and as they say the rest is history. I ordered Vol 1 in 1987, I loved those catalogs! I remember doing the preorders back then too.

Speaking of V1, Anna is doin' a re-issue. I got a Susan Harris key chain from eBay. One of these days I hope I can look like Susan.

The first time I did V1, I almost fainted. I think I can do V1 w/o goin' to the emergency room!

Ginger me too.
My first FIRM workouts were the Parts Series in 1993/94 I think.
I was stationed oversees and saw and ad for them in the magazine.
