If you are looking to work those abs in the least time possible, then this video is for you. In less than 10 minutes a day you can get a complete ab workout -- upper, lower, as well as obliques. The video is made from spliced portions of other Firm workouts so you get 5 different instructors, just like in the original "5 Day Abs". Although this video seems a bit easier than the original, it still provides a tough ab workout and a nice change of pace. There is not much instruction during each segment on proper form so beginners may want to watch the segment first before they try some of the moves. If you can only get 1 ab video, I would buy the original "5 Day Abs" first, but this would be a good addition to your video library if you need a little something different to stay motivated.

I have the original 5-Day Abs by the Firm which is cut from videos from their Classics series (primarily from the 80s). Most of the classic Firms are great workouts, but somewhat dated, so the ab routines do not seem that innovative or interesting. But More 5-Day Abs has ab routines from the Firm's more recent videos, so you get to experience some really different routines that are not the typical boring gym class crunches. There is one routine in particular on day 3 with Tracie Long where you do obliques (muscle on the side of your abdomen) sitting on a chair that really works because I felt it the next day. This tape is a great resource if you want to add an ab routine every day to your fitness regime, whether you workout with videos or not. I would even recommend it over the original 5-Day Abs because it is so diverse and interesting. You will not be bored with this tape!

I am 44 yrs old and my abs look great...I owe a lot of the way I look to the aray of Firm workout tapes that I've used off and on throughout the years...The "More 5-day Abs" video is great...The workouts are short but extremely effective...Everyday a different workout and each day a little more challenging than the day before....Because they only target the abs, the workouts are short and allows me to stay consistant even when I'm crunched for time...The longest one is only about 6 minutes long..I love this tape and highly recommend it to anyone who's serious about reshaping their abs but only have a short time available to do so...Definitely a wise investment...

This is a great tape for the abs. The wonderful part is that as you increase in ability, the tape grows with you. If doing one segment of 5 day abs get too easy, try doing two segments ... You will see results!

I've been using this video for about 6 months now and I'm still not tired of it. 5 different abs work outs is enough to keep me from feeling like I'm doing the same thing over and over every time I work out, but it's also few enough that after going through each workout a couple of times, I can consentrate on doing the workouts and not have to keep looking at the TV to figure out what's going on.

It's a great addition for any video work out library.

Even when you don't really have time to exercise, you usually do have 5 minutes. And that's better than nothing. I enjoyed doing the mini-workout from start to finish in 5-6 minutes and feeling like I had accomplished something on a busy morning before work.
You know you're making progress as it becomes easier to finish what seemed impossible at first (I'm new to ab workouts). And having 5 different workouts definitely kept my interest up.
If you were avoiding abs, like I did for so long, this is a great way to get going with them. I highly recommend it.

I have done many different style of ab exercises, practically memorizing the most effective ones. This tape offered ab work I had not done before. It is tough but very good. I also liked the music selections. If you are a fitness enthusiast and really like the "burn" this is a great tape to have.

I haven't used this video in a while, but when I did, my abs were the flattest they've ever been. It's only a few minutes a day, but it is the toughest ab workout I have ever found. You might get the urge to scream out in pain, but it'll be worth it!!

This tape has given me a great waistline.On use this tape almost everyday along with the other 5-day abs tape from the Firm.There are 5 seperate ab workouts compiled from other great Firm workouts.Firm Cardio,Firm Stength,Better Body,Better Buns are just to name a few.
I know since I have used this tape with my other visdeo my stomach has gotten toned.This tape is good for beginners and advanced.I guarantee you`ll love it.

This is a later version of the original Firm 5 day abs video, and the one I prefer. It contains clips of ab work from Better Body and Buns, Fat Blaster, Maximum Body Shaping, Firm Strength and Firm Cardio, in that order. Each routine runs about 5-6 minutes long and has a brief introduction before each clip. Some of the ab routines use light weights for resistance which is optional of course. My personal favorite is Day 2, from Fat Blaster, the music really fits the routine and it is fun as well as effective, at least I always feel it anyway. But all the routines are unique and interesting in their own way. My favorite Firm videos are from the "middle era", following the classic volumes 1-6 and preceding the BSS1, BSS2, BSS3 and BSS4 series. These are some of the best ab routines and I am glad that they are all available on one video. Firm and tone your abs every day of the week!

I'm generally not a big fan of videos; I prefer to work out in the gym like most people. However, after using this training video once (there are 5 short sessions 8 minutes each), I was very impressed. I don't even do abdominals in the gym anymore; I concentrate on other areas of my body. My husband and I use this video a lot. Our first one got used so often, the tape broke! This is our second. He has and continues to train for a triathlon and it really helps. These exercises appear to be easy, but it really works on those deep muscles and have more effect than the regular sit ups or crunches.I highly recommend this to anybody!
