Summary: Another great FIRM exercise video!
Comment: I am a huge FIRM fan and workout for 40-45 minutes 6-7 mornings a week. All of my videos are from the FIRM series. They feature safe exercises with a efficient and effective warm-up/cool-down segments. The DVDs help me to work out in my target heart rate range. I don't love all of the FIRM videos, though. Some are too fast or too slow. I am a woman who is 5' 9" and 180 lbs. My heart rate for weight loss/weight maintenance is 120 to 135 beats per minute during the main workout time -- so I try to pick videos that work at that level. My favorite FIRMvideos are: Ultimate Fat Burning Workout, Burn & Shape and Total Body Toner. This "Core Solutions" is soon to be another favorite in my rotation. There is enough variation in exercises to keep me interested and the intensity is right for me.

Summary: Three good CORE workouts
Comment: The DVD contains three core (that is, the area, front and back, from the bottom of your breast bone to the top of your hip bone), not strictly abs, workouts. There aren't too many reps of each exercise and there are almost as many stretches between exercises as there are exercises. The moves are simple/challenging enough and the queing is great. Just strenous enough so that you know that your core has been worked (even if just slightly). I particularly like the standing routine. Short and sweet. A gem, indeed!

Summary: Love this one
Comment: This is a great abs dvd. It has three workout options: 10 min. standing abs, 10 min. core and sculpting, or 10 min. traditional abs. I've done the first two and they are both great. I like Alison, but her cueing on some of her cardio dvds is not the best. These, however, are very well done. If you're looking for a quick abs workout to supplement your regular workouts, this has a nice set of options. Highly recommended.

Summary: Great Core Workout
Comment: This DVD is a great core workout supplement to any excercise program. I personally use it on days that I run or do cardio. Its broken up into 3 different 10 minute workouts that you can mix up with other DVDs you may have. The intructor is easy to follow, and gives her cues perfectly. I also like the use of light dumbells to add resistance. Thumbs up!

Summary: good ab workout
Comment: This is a great workout. The only thing that I dislike about this is that the 3 workouts are just that- 3 completely separate workouts. There's no way to play all 3 one right after the other. You get done with Standing Abs and the dvd STOPS. So you grab the remote and hit play on the next one (Functional Abs), and when that one is over you have to get up and grab the remote and hit play on Classic Abs. Now, that would be a good option if you were short on time or only wanted to do one 10min ab segment. If you want to do all 3 workouts, keep the remote nearby. I would have given 5 stars if the 3 workouts could be programmed into one.
