Do you have to workout to lose the weight?

No, you just take it twice a day. I did see a little bit of weight loss the first weeks, but haven't lost much since. Its now been about 3 weeks that I've been taking them. Not so sure if it was worth the money.

No not at all. You just need to basically need to step 1-2 steps from right to left , and back and forth. I love the work out !

In short YES, but as with any weight loss program you need to monitor calorie intake. Building lean muscle is critical to losing and sustaining weight loss.

Honestly I didnt lose any. I didn't do this very long, it wasn't what I was expecting. I prefer to go to a gym and work at my own pase with machinery. But if I'd probably continued the regime, I'd probably would have lost 5-10 in the first month. But like I said, its not for me.

I love this workout. It will help with both losing weight and gaining muscle. It is quite difficult though just because you will be getting up and down on the ground. It's hard on the knees and joints. I would wait to do this after you lose a significant amount of weight to firm up. Walking and a paleo or ketogenic lifestyle is the best thing you can do to lose the weight. Best of luck!

Yes. The work out can be done with arm band or weights it is not an aerobic work out it is more of shaping and sculpting while loosing weight

With any type of weight lost product, exercise "speeds" up the weight loss, but actually I did not at first and lost weight ... just not very fast. I wanted faster weight loss and I had more energy to exercise, so I did.

To lose weight, you must burn more calories than you consume. If you spend 4 hours working out, on anything, then eat 6,000 calories, you will gain weight.

I started doing Zumba a few years ago with my girlfriends in a live setting after gaining 20 pounds in college. After taking Zumba classes for a few months, I noticed I was getting more toned- not necessarily losing weight. However, the workout inspired me to do more- running, horseback riding, weight training- and I now weigh ten pounds less than I did in high school (so I lost 30 pounds altogether). I am now a size 2/4. I workout regularly with Zumba, and when I can't get to the gym. It's a great great tool- the cardio aspect is amazing and you WILL sweat. I can promise that you'll have a lot more energy and that you will probably lose some weight, too! All you have to do is stick with it :) Good luck!

This is a tough workout, but you can easily lose 10 lbs doing this workout and will tone up and lose inches if you stick with it.

Well if the eating plan and the workout calendar is followed you can lose 15 lbs in 30 days, with a very strict diet and exercise routine. The Firm is true to their word when they say you'll lose weight! :-) I was never able to stick with it long enough to lose any weight because you have to have good joints for this program! Haha! Hope this was helpful! :-)

I have not lost any weight! I don't have time to exercise. I think my body needs some type of movement in order to lose weight. I have gained instead of losing.

I have lost over 40 pounds but it is due to a combination of exercise and eating right. Most of the weight loss comes from eating healthy.

No, not directly. Weight loss in inches, in my experience, is more directly related to food and diet. I do, however, agree with other comment re the elongation and toning of the muscles involved in this workout creating a longer, leaner look to the body.

The machine alone isn't going to make you lose weight. It is a tool with eating properly and living a healthy lifestyle. Also, it depends on what you put into your workouts. If you don't push yourself while working out, then you won't have results. Yes, I did lose weight. I bought this machine for cross training with a treadmill and stationary bike. I feel stronger and have noticed strength improvements in daily life/activities as well.

You don't have to work out, but at least be physically active, sweat a little

Only if you actually use it regularly. If you use it as a clothes hangar, stalk it, or use it as a statue it could possibly reduce your tone and fitness. It is an excellent fitness machine; the problem is it does nothing unless you actually use it appropriately. I've lost 20 pounds on mine, just 50 more to go.
