4.0 out of 5 stars You'll feel like you've really worked out, August 12, 2004

By 

guavajelly (Oakland,CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Firm: Firm Parts - 5 Day Abs & Tough Tape 2 (DVD)

If you're like me and like to feel a bit sore after a tough work out, this is the one to get. I've tried numerous aerobic videos and they are either way too cheesy or way too easy for my level. Yes, a couple of the women on this video are a little too "cheerleaderish" for me but most aren't that distracting. And after you do it over and over like I have, you can fast forward through the brief sections with the annoying girls and get to the meat of the video and burn.

I've been using this video for a year now and yes, I've really seen the difference. I tried Taibo, Pilates, and othe workout videos but if you want a sculpted look, this is the video to get. I've always had strong legs but weak girly arms and wanted them to look a bit more toned--not GI Jane looking but more like Angela Bassett arms. My husband has noticed too and likes the new look. They've definitely firmed up finally and the butt/abs are firmer too.

The abs part is great...not too long but just long enough to feel it. Who cares if it's 80'sish...it's still a good workout and it's definitely not Richard Simmons.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get it for the 5 day abs if nothing else!, August 29, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Firm: Firm Parts - 5 Day Abs & Tough Tape 2 (DVD)

This is a two pack DVD, and unlike some reviewers I have had absolutely no problems using the chapter selection on the DVD menu.I have never used earlier Firm workouts, so the compilation has never bothered me. Tough Tape 2 is aptly named. If you are new to aerobic workouts you will have to get used to it, and it will kick your butt for the first two weeks. After that you will no longer have to have a crash team standing by. I have to admit that the 5 Day Abs disc is my favorite Firm disc, and I have four. The segments are short, but very effective. If you can't find time in your day to work this into your schedule then you're just deluding yourself. The frosting on the cake would have to be the host for the ab DVD, who introduces and ends the individual segments. He is one fine looking man, and when he tells me to lie supine I happily comply. Seriously though, there is nothing wrong with eye candy if it helps to keep you motivated. I find that I enjoy doing this workout every day, and it often keeps me on track with my other Firm workouts because it seems so natural as a lead in to the next workout. Truthfully, these workouts are better than the aerobics I've tried at the gym. It's well worth the money. And contrary to what another reviewer has said, you do not need a mat, just the carpet you probably already have in front of your TV.

4.0 out of 5 stars It Increased My Endurance and Strength, August 3, 2004

This review is from: The Firm: Firm Parts - 5 Day Abs & Tough Tape 2 (DVD)

I love this DVD, ok maybe some of the tough tape intro segments with some of the instructors may be cheezy, but I don't care. I am happy with it, the abs workout is really tough, and the tough tape 2 is definitely tougher. If you want a workout that is more challenging and you don't mind compilations, then I definitely recommend this one.

The Firm is the best!!
