Every Wednesday I plan to review a workout video. To start things off, I've chosen one of my old favorites: The Firm 5-Day Abs. This is composed of 5 short abdominal routines taken from other Firm videos strung together by an 1980's hottie (quite Zach Morris-esque). The routine lengths are as follows: 6 minutes-7 minutes-6 minutes-9 minutes-7 minutes.
I swore by this video when I lost weight in the past. It is just so incredibly easy to pop the tape in before bed or in the morning. Everyone can spare 6 or 7 minutes. The routines are difficult, but not impossible. And you'll feel abdominal muscles you never knew you had. Each routine is a good mix of upper, lower, and side work. No props are necessary. They do use a "fanny lifter" in some segments, but as long as you have something to prop your feet on, you should be fine. I own this on VHS and just leave it in the VCR so that I can start on the next routine the next day. It is now out on DVD, but apparently you cannot skip to different routines, so I recommend getting this on VHS if you can.
All-n-all, this is a MUST have in your workout video collection.
