5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite ab tape, June 3, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Firm: 5 Day Abs [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I have used this VHS for years and have rarely become bored in the workout. The five short, but intense workouts, range from 4 to 8 minutes. Each workout focus on upper abs, lower abs and obliques but with a slightly different variation or rhythm. You can increase the level of difficulty on each workout by using ankle weights.

Within two weeks of consistent work, I have seen noticeable difference in my abs. Additionally, as you become stronger, the exercises are still difficult as you continue to push yourself.

However, the guy at the beginning of the tape is really nasty and cheesy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hysterically funny, but difficult, April 27, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Firm: 5 Day Abs [VHS] (VHS Tape)

OK, this thing is one of the funniest workout videos I've ever seen. Being a guy, I've never done any of the Firm series before, but I guess most of them are similar to this one.

The sets, music, production values and demeanor of the hosts are hilariously cheesy, like Sheena Easton doing a Cinemax "adult" film. I honestly had to quit my first workout because I was laughing too hard.

However, this is a VERY serious ab workout, especially for a man who's got some muscle (and therefore some weight) in his legs. These things make me hurt in a really good way. The single tape has five different routines, so I can't imagine them getting boring. I cycle between this and 8 Minute Abs, and find them to be a great combination.

You won't lose fat with this tape (or with any other ab workout alone), but you will certainly shape your stomach nicely. Great value, both exercise- and humor-wise, for the money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not for the beginner, March 5, 2002

I am glad I've worked out with Tamilee Webb before doing this Firm video. To me, she is the "master" of form during ab workouts. The instructors move too quickly in this video from exercise to another. I find myself sacrificing form for reps. Not good when working abs! What's with the guy at the beginning of each segment?! UGH!
