The Firm opened its first exercise studio in South Carolina in 1979. The Firm provides programs to help people build muscle and decrease fat by combining cardio workouts with weight training. The workouts vary in intensity levels, alternate between upper- and lower-body exercises and use weights to achieve faster results. The Firm's success led to workouts on DVD. The Firm offers a variety of workout videos through its online store.
Working Out With the Firm
Step 1
Visit the Firm's website. Complete the fitness profile quiz to learn about your body type. The results explain your body mass index based on the information you enter. Gain information about which fitness routine the Firm recommends. Visit the Firm's online store and select your videos. There are single DVDs and multipacks. Some multipacks include extras such as free weights or an exercise ball.The Firm Believers Club offers ongoing support and diet recommendations. A nutritionist customizes meal plans for you. You also receive recipes and grocery shopping lists.
Step 2
Practice working out initially without the weights after receiving your DVDs. Learn the exercise movements and concentrate on performing them correctly before adding weights to your routine.
Step 3
Add light weights based on the specific recommendations from each workout video, once you feel comfortable. Start with the lightest weights possible and slowly increase the weight over time.
Step 4
Schedule and plan your workouts. The Firm recommends most people exercise five days a week with two days of rest. Rest days are important to allow muscles to heal.
Step 5
Continue to work out on a regular basis. Change workout routines as needed. Vary your routines so you do not grow bored repeating the same video. Increase the weights when you feel comfortable at your current level. Consider using the Firm's rotation calendar as a guide to vary workouts throughout the month.
