Firm Parts: More 5-Day Abs [VHS]
If you're on the lookout for effective ab exercises and you don't like to do the same workout every day, this 27-minute video is for you. Five instructors lead you through five different ab workouts, each five or six minutes long (that'splentyfor working the abs!). Before the exercises start, you get some technique instructions for doing effective crunches and reverse crunches. Then get ready for serious, non-stop ab strengthening. Though each workout is short, you'll be groaning from the intensity and specificity of the exercises. Some are traditional ab exercises; some use weights. Realize, of course, that if you really want to trim those abs by losing belly fat, you'll also need to do aerobic exercise (to burn off body fat) and reduce caloric intake (so that you don't eat back what you just burned off); abdominal exercise alone won't do much.--Joan Price
