Time graph for The Firm: Pump, Jump & Jab
A non-stop aero/tone interval program that integrates kickbox favorites into familiar Firm-type exercises. It’s both motivating and empowering — you’re sure to burn calories, firm muscles and have fun. Kelsie Daniels is a super-high-energy instructor with super-smooth transitions (e.g. side lunges that flow into a bob-and-weave; crescent kicks that become squats). Her easy-to-follow cardio is taught add-on style; it includes punches, kicks, jacks and hops. The sculpting maximizes efficiency by working multiple muscle groups at once (e.g. side steps paired with upper-body rows). The toning also includes balance and core exercises. Requires dumbbells, ideally two sets (e.g. 2 and 5 lb.). ©2008. DVD has: Spanish option.

The Firm: Pump, Jump & Jab

Loved it!!
Kelsie is an awesome instructor and easy to follow. I felt like it all flowed together very well and I was sweating hard by the end. I wished there would have been one more cardio segment but I loved the kickboxing, so fun. I can't wait to buy Kelsie's next workout. - posted by Kelley on 11/19/2008
Great instructor
I gave this workout 4 stars b/c of the instructor's personality. I enjoyed her, but the workout could have been better. A few of the moves were somewhat awkward, and it's not even 40 minutes long (as stated on the cover). I'm looking forward to trying her 500 calorie workout, which is supposed to be a 60 minute workout. - posted by Fran on 11/15/2008
Fabulous
I love all the firm gals and Kelsie is no exception--she is wonderful and so is the workout. Classic firm style--challenging and never boring. This is definitely harder than some of the recent Firm workouts and the bonus workout is great too. This is a must have! - posted by Carrie on 11/10/2008
Kind of boring.....
I really wanted to like this workout. I read so many mixed reviews and was hoping that it would be a short, fun boxing type routine with a few standard Firm squat/lunge rounds. It didn't flow well for me at all. There were very few fun moves, and those didn't last for more than a few reps. This is just more of the standard modern Firm fare with a few boxing moves thrown in to market to people like me. There are much better, FUN boxing type workouts available. I don't mind hard work but I want fun moves so I can get into it! Still, I've only tried a few of the "pink" Firms and this was the best of the bunch so I'll give it 2 stars. - posted by Caitlin on 11/3/2008
Great workout
Kelsie is great. This is such a great workout. I really like kickboxing and this is a wonderful one to add to my workouts. Firm Instructors - keep up the good work. - posted by Barbara on 10/29/2008
Kelsie Daniels takes it home for me on this one!
I love the firm - especially Kelsie's workout's. She has become one of my favorite instructors. I tried the kettle bell yesterday and this one today and absolutely have fallen in love again with the firm. I started lacking with my excercise routine and this is just what I need to get myself back in the zone for my January Cruise. Great cueing, great energy, no complicated routines and time suits me well. I have heard other critique that it could be longer but honestly I find 45 minutes a perfect workout - but that's just me. Great job FIRM! I am loving the kettle bell workout and the Pump, Jump & Jab! - posted by Mina on 10/27/2008
Good workout but not long enough
This was a good workout--while it lasted. I love The Firm, and I've considered myself to be a die-hard fan until just recently. It seems like their videos are never long enough anymore and just don't pack the punch that they used to. This one in particular ends just when you're working up a good sweat. If you're not looking for that much of a challenge, go with this one. If you're looking for something a little harder, try an older Firm workout. They were the best. - posted by Liz on 10/9/2008
didn't like it so much
This workout was OK, but there were several things about that I didn't like. First of all, it wasn't long enough to get a good workout, and there wasn't enough kickboxing. What there was was really fun, but it was over too quickly. Also, I thought there was too much emphasis on squats and lunges, but I think this is true of a lot of the Firm workouts so if you like the other Firms in that regard this one will probably be OK for you. I like Kelsie as an instructor, but the workout itself just didn't appeal to me that much. - posted by Barb on 10/3/2008
Just right!
Some people have said that there isn't enough cardio in this workout but I think that the 2 cardio segments are just right. First off the cardio segments are pretty long. Then there are 3 weight segments that really gets your heart rate up. I am left drippin with sweat at the end of this workout. I am advanced and usually workout 4 times a week. I really like the weight segments becouse they are diffrent and I see and feel results! - posted by Crystal on 10/1/2008
Excellent workout
Wow. I just finished this workout for the first time and I loved it! I feel so energized, not worn out, but I still feel like I got a very good workout. It's a solid intermediate workout and I love the Firm's style of weights and cardio blended together, so this was perfect. The length is just right for me, too, because I don't work out more than 30 - 45 minutes at a time. - posted by Cammie on 10/1/2008

Reading a Time Graph
X
Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.

Spanish option
X
In addition to English, you can choose to hear the program in Spanish.
Level
X
Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact
X
Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography
X
Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis
X
Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Floor aerobics & toning
X
Definition: Includes two workout activities. The aerobics segments are fast-paced standing movements like marching, dancing and jumping. These segments require no equipment. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against a resistance. These may include Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: The combination of both activities provides a balanced workout. The aerobics burns calories, strengthens your heart and increases stamina. The toning builds lean muscles, increases your metabolism and makes everyday activities easier.
