Summary: Good workout, this really works ! Cheesy production
Comment: These tapes are really good tapes if you follow the instructor precisely (don't cheat) if you are consistant you WILL see results. The 5 day ab tape you will see results in about 2 weeks, don't quit ! Overall the production IS cheesy but who cares you aren't paying for the music you are paying for results ! Should have been put on DVD

Summary: challenging but you will get results fast
Comment: i like this tape. as much as i groan complain during the workout i have been doing this one for about 3 weeks now and notice great results. the guy is stupid, disregard his left/right leg instructions. just follow the instructors and you will be just fine. i would have given it 5 stars if they had gotten someone else as a 'host' for this program. some of the music is not great, either, but all in all this program will give you stronger abdominals.

Summary: Seems challenging yet I dont get any results
Comment: Usually the firm is great with their "10 workouts and you will see results thing". But ive been doing this tape on and off for over a year now and while it seems tough at the time my abs are never sore the next day and they look the same as they did a year ago.
Plus the guy who introduces everything always tells you to start to the opposite side of what the instructor is doing and his motivational skills SUCK.
I love the firm but this tape is just an embarassment. tamilee abs of steel series are way better.

Summary: THE BEST!!
Comment: If you have very little time and a bad lower back, this is the best video to integrate into your life. It's only 5-7 minutes per day and if you do it every day (different workout each day), you will DEFINITELY notice stronger abs and better posture. It's amazing how quickly it goes, and yet how much impact it has. It's one of my top 3 overall. Good luck!

Summary: Good Workout, Cheesy Production
Comment: The workouts on this tape are great. You only have to use the tape for less than ten minutes a day (the workout times vary from about 6 to 9 minutes) five times a week and you will see and feel results. The only major drawback to this video is that the production and set-up are totally cheesy. For no apparent reason other than to avoid appearing too feminine to male purchasers there is a hunky muscle-man (from either Long Island or Queens, judging by his dipthongs) who does the 30-second set-up to each workout and a corny little "thumbs up" encouragement at the end of each routine; I suppose this counteracts the fact that all five workouts are led by female instructors with the larger percentage of the people doing the workouts in the video also being women. True to the genre, there is a god-awful score accompanying each workout, composed, presumably, by the illegimate love child of Yanni and Kenny G. At least it isn't "montage music" from 80s action movies... do we really need another second-rate Survivor knock-off?
One pitfall to watch out for, though, is the instructions Mr. Long Island gives you prior to the workouts. Apparently he is mildly dyslexic: he will tell you, for instance, to put your right foot on your left knee, and then you will observe the workout instructor doing the exact opposite as soon as the workout begins. If you are not careful to do the opposite of what Mr. Set-Up Dude tells you, you will wind up working one side of the muslce twice and ignoring the other side altogether each time you do the tape, giving yourself a lopsided 3-pack instead of the coveted 6-pack that this tape promises.
