TheFirm Believers’Ultimate CompendiumBy:Ssfrmblver(Vanessa Howie)Summer 20091

IntroductionHello Firm Fans!I have compiled this reference to help guide you in selecting your Firmworkouts no matter what rotation you choose. There are several sections tothis Compendium, which are as follows:The First section has DVD and VHS Abbreviations, equipment key and ratingsystem. The Second section has Quick Time Reference for all workouts. TheThird section has a quick reference for Premixes/Mix & Match/Expressworkouts. The Forth section is all the workouts sorted by the Equipment usedin each DVD/VHS. The Fifth section is all DVD/VHS sorted by Category, Time,Equipment used, and abbreviation. The Sixth section is the Express workouts.The Eighth section are the dates in which all (that I could find) theworkouts were released, and the ninth section is the workouts listed by thesets in which they are in. The tenth section is full of detailed informationof all the Firm Workouts I have and of some accumulated via CL Steph. TheEleventh section has Firm “worksheets” from all Catagories listed in thisCompendium. I placed these in by popular demand. Most Firm Believers said ithelp them track their progess using worksheet on the workouts, so I providedwhat I could. The Twelfth section has Past Specialty Rotation Calendars. Iwasn’t sure which I should put in, so I put all the Specialty Rotations hadand one from a Firm Believer. These Calenders are sorted by year, ABC’s, and2

Type. And Finally, for those too busy to make a Rotation Calendar Template, Iplaced for you at the very end. . the template I use for my RotationCalendars. The final page is for notes, which you can write down suggestionsand share with others, or use the information for yourself.I hope everyone who gets this can find something in here they can use. Icompiled this for all the Firmies out there who are just as devoted as myselfto living a healthier life through proper exercise and a good diet.I renamed the The Firm Compendium because I didn’t feel like it fit any more.I had added SSSSOOO much more than for it to just be A Compendium. I call itThe Firm Believers’ Compendium because I have made this for all FirmBelievers’ everywhere!!!!NOTE:I want to put this in large font for specific purposes.Since The Firm Believers’ Ultimate Compendium is SSSOOOlarge (more than 300 pages), I strongly suggest you onlyprint out Sections 1-9 to start. If you have ALL the Firmvideos/DVDs that are out on the market and wish to printeverything on here, just know it is almost 300 PAGES TOPRINT—IT WILL TAKE A LOT OF PAPER AND INK!Just wanted to let you know in advance!!!!3

Special Thanks!There are many people I want to thank, because without their help it wouldhave been SSSSOOO much harder to put this information in.I want to thank first and foremost Firm Instructor Kirsten for putting up the“Frequently Asked Questions” Forum, for which I would not have had the ideato do this in the first place. I want to thank CL Tonda for answering all myquestions no matter how remedial they may have seemed at the time. Giving meall that information, helped me to put this together. You are a TRUE friend!I also want to thank CL Bethanne for encouraging me to pursue this project. Iwas not sure at first if I should, then I posted on the “Frequently AskedQuestions” that I was doing this, and Bethanne gave such encouragement, thatI felt I almost had an ‘obligation’ to do so, thanks so much Bethanne!! Carol(User name Carolk) I want to thank you for all the information you provided.I know you didn’t have to, and it was lot of information to look up I’m sure,but without that information, this Compendium would NEVER have come about.Thank you! Also a thanks to (user name) “WhiteRose1” for posting a lot of theinformation on the “Frequently Asked Questions” Forum. Without thatinformation it would have literally taken me 6 months to 1 year to compileall the information which you so generously provided! Thank you, Thank you,Thank you! A special thanks to “chouchou1” (Username) for providing my withthe rotation calendar information I didn’t have. My husband Doug for being a‘sounding board’ with which I could talk to about this project—I do and willlove you ALWAYS. And last, but not least, Every Firm Instructor who has everbeen a part of any Firm VHS/DVD in the past, present, and future. Without youguiding us “Firmies” through these workouts we would not be were we are4

today. Fit, happy and healthy! We LOVE the workouts you do and appreciate allthe hard work you put into each and every one! Keep them coming!!!!5
