Firm Parts: More 5-Day Abs

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.


More 5-Day Abs is more interesting than the original!   August 19, 2000

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!

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.
