 Another Challenging AB Workout from The Firm May 23, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I am a Firm Believer. I've been working out with The Firm for several years. When the Jiggle Free Series came out, I was interested in finding out what it had to offer. I have the Fanny Lifter (love it) and didn't want to purchase the new Transfirmer. I bought Jiggle Free Abs here on Amazon.com for pretty cheap price. It's an awesome abs workout. Allie is one of The Firm's best instructors. She continuously instruct you on proper form and breathing techniques. The moves are challenging but do-a-ble. I wasn't able to complete the full workout the first couple of times. You don't need the Transfirmer, if you have a stool or the Fanny Lifter, you'll do just fine. You only use it a few times in the beginning and that's it. Here's what you get: A 7 min. warm-up, a 16 min. abs routine, and a brief cool-down at the end and that's it. Stick with it and you'll see results really fast. I love the work out. I also plan on buying Jiggle Free Arms, I heard it's an awesome workout as well. Good luck.
 Overall it's ok. March 27, 2007

This is not a traditional floor ab routine with just crunches; I liked how there was a lot of variety of different moves. However, I was dissapointed that many of the non-Floor exercises just didn't target the abs much, so my abs didn't feel sore during or after the workout. Also, I'm concerned that many of the movements are high risk for injury.
The instructor is motivating, does the motions with good form, and gives good cueing about what motion to do next. However, she doesn't give enough reminders about posture and keeping your abs tucked in. The music, set, and video quality is good.
It's annoying that this DVD doesn't allow you to forward to specific chapters/sections (e.g. skip the Intro/Welcome chatter & Warmup segment)
summary of moves...
~10min WARM UP:
Light standing cardio workout moves. (which begninners may find mildly challenging, but will be easy for advanced).
There are lots of fast lunges, knee lifts, and body twists that might not be suitable for beginners because it's hard on the knees and back.
Except for a few exercises, most of the motions don't isolate/target the abs specifically.
~10min TRANSFIRMER(on a step/stool):
Back leg lifts alternating with too many hamstring stretches
Lean sideways while sitting on step
Oblique twists with alternate leg
Reverse crunches while sitting on the step
~10min FLOOR:
Reverse crunches w/ leg shoot combos
Plank (on the side)
Sit Backs w/ leg lifts
Tranditional crunches w/ oblique twists
Circle crunches
Side crunch while laying on side
Superman
STRETCHES

It is nice because it focuses only on abs and doesn't need any other tools etc. I take it with me when I travel around and it is easy to follow. It does work if you really stick with it, I do it three times a week and it is quite effective.
Cute little workout with a cute little instructor March 20, 2007

Allie's so cute when she says "tummy." This is a very nice ab workout. Pair it with Jiggle Free Arms and you're set for the day! Oh, and for more challenge, do the planks directly on the floor and continue to work even while she's stretching. (for the first portion after the warm-up)

I have been doing Firm workouts for a couple of years now and I love how they target my problem areas. I use the Body Sculpting System 2, and have always been a little disappointed with the lack of good ab exercises on 2 of the 3 videos. They really hit the mark with this DVD though! This is a great extra video to add to my normal routine. It's short (25 min) and sweet (gets right to the point). Even though I don't own the TransFirmer, I use my step from the Body Sculpting System 2. But if you don't have a step, with this workout, you could use a sturdy chair. No other equipment required. I love that!
