Grab your tweee-igs April 5, 2009 P. Rogers (Oregon) 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
After wearing out my 5th - yes, 5th - copy of Firm Parts 5-day abs, I thought I would try something new so I ordered this. The 5-day ab workouts are all 6-8 minutes, which I usually find very do-able a couple times a week, so I thought these 3 ten minute workouts would fit equally well into my life. The first impression I had is also the video's main flaw. It is basically a VCR on a disc. You cannot go to the main menu, skip the pre-workout ads, or select one of the workouts. You basically have to fast-forward to the part you want. Add on a few more minutes to your 10-minute workout for fast-forwarding. Already annoyed with that, other aspects of the disc just seem unbearable. They use this "fanny lifter" (which I am nonplussed to even type, much less consider buying), a "stick," and "twigs." The latter 2, with the host's less-than-charming accent, come out "steee-ick" and "tweee-igs." I don't want to feel like I have to buy a bunch of crap for my living room just to do some crunches. The host continues to be annoying, beyond her use of equipment-that-is-not-my-couch and accent, and even says "Bust a move" at some point during the first workout. The work-outs are ok, give me a little burn as I do them (well, not the first one), and do use a few yoga and pilates moves as they claim. I will grind my teeth as I fast-forward to the start of my desired workout until my #6 copy of Firm Parts 5-day abs with Tracey James shows up in the mail.
I use this When I am really Sore from the Other Firm Videos December 5, 2004 DarkAngel (USA) 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I love this video. When I have made Myself sore from other firm videos I simply get a good working out with through My abs. YOu have to have the stick to really use this video. This video starts out with simple ab work for those just starting out then becomes more advance towards the end.. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!
NOT What I Was Hoping For... November 10, 2004 Robert B. Green Jr. (Discovery Bay, CA) 0 out of 5 found this review helpful
I had worn out my copy of The Firm's 5-Day Abs so I thought I would try something new. Bad decision. There are way too many moves in a short period of time so you really don't feel one exercise before you move on to the next. In addition, you really need to buy the "Firm Sculpting Stick" to make many of the exercises work, which I found insulting and rather marketing-minded. I am sending this back!
Bad pacing, ok workout, supp. equipments not useful October 30, 2004 Jan (USA) 7 out of 9 found this review helpful
Most of the moves go too quickly, does not give your muscles are full workout. If you want to remember the moves and work it on your own that's fine. But then again why don't you just buy a book and do it yourself?
The "sculpting stick" which does not include with the video, is not particularly useful to the type of workout suggested. With or without do the same.
Also, the three 12 mins workouts was too short to make the video worth its price. I'm sure there are plenty of workout videos out there with better pacing for a full workout on your muscles and longer selection recorded. For example, I tried Tamilee Webb's Abs, Arms and Legs of Steel, that is much better I think.
i like this as a supplement to my regular firm workouts September 12, 2004 Michelle Garringer (Overland Park KS) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
the hardest area for me to tone is my abs and its the first area i gain and my least favorite exercise to do. i picked up this firm parts abs dvd to add to my regular firm workouts. i really like it. havent done the 3rd workout but do 1 and 2 which is about 20 minutes of ab work. and not just crunches it works all your ab sections and i feel it everywhere. highly recommend it..
