The Firm: Core Solutions |
  Good video but not for the seasoned exerciser |
| I like this video but I thought it would be more challenging for me. I have been exercising for many years and this doesn't give me the challenge I need. But it is still a good video and I like how it is broken down into three sections. - posted by Jill on 9/23/2010 |

| definitely works |
| I do two segments at a time. I can fell the soreness of my abs for 2-3 days after the workout. With consistency, you will certainly see results. - posted by Haniyyah on 7/23/2010 |

| the firm core solutions |
| I really love this dvd! The exercises are very challenging, which I really like. I like the incorporation of weights in the moves, or you can do without the weights if you wish. I have been in the fitness industry for over 10 years, and I am challenged by these moves. On the down side, the instructor seems to be out of breath in some of the moves. - posted by claudette on 7/22/2010 |

| For beginners really |
| Alison moves way too quickly - I feel ab work should be slow, steady and focused on the muscle group. The Standing Up routine is a bit of a waste of time, again too fast to really feel anything, the Laying Down routine is ok and the last routine is probably the best since you can go at your own (slow, steady and focused) pace. - posted by Ursula on 2/12/2010 |

| Great and not typical Firm Thank Goodness! |
| Obviously, tastes are very different and I'm not a Firm fan, but I'm starting to really like Alison Davis. This DVD reminds me a little of Amy Bento's Abs and Stretch DVD and I love it. I add heavier weights usually and found it very effective and fun. - posted by holly on 6/10/2009 |

| Worst Firm Ab Workout |
| Of all of the Firm ab workouts, this by far is the worst. After doing all 3 workouts together, it felt like I did nothing, and I didn't enjoy any of the sections at all! There are many more effective and fun ab workouts out there. Don't waste your time or money. - posted by TJ on 3/6/2009 |

| love it |
| I'm a advanced exerciser, pilates, yoga, cardio, and weights, I work out 7 days a week 3 days of the week I go to the gym. I have the core solutions by the firm and I love it. there is tightness in my abs when I'm done. For people that do not feel anything or find it to easy ask your self some questions,like am I doing the exercises right?, am I using the right weights? All three go together so you should do all three in order. - posted by ginna on 2/5/2009 |

| Good to combine with another workout |
| I was disappointed with this when I first got it, but now I combine these routines with Rodney Yee's Power Yoga (it also has three separate routines) for a nice 35 minute workout. I am doing Standing Abs with Stamina, Functional Core with Strength, and Classic Abs with Flexibility. Doing Core Solutions with another shorter exercise video really seems like the best way to use it to me. - posted by Valarie on 2/5/2009 |

| disapointment so far |
| this was my first FIRM dvd - and i did the classic abs. i thought it'd be tough - you could feel it working, and it'd BURN. I was disappointed when i got through, to realize it was over! It seemed like a wimpy workout. So I did it over again - this time with weights. i didn't like the weights, because, since she wanted the arms moving fast, my knuckles were getting hit in between the weights and the (hardwood) floor. don't know if that's just me. and bringing them together, i smashed my pinky. of course, maybe i was just having bad coordnation day. ??????????
hopefully i'll have some sore tomorrow...................... who knows. - posted by mary on 1/29/2009 |

| Loved it! |
| I loved this dvd and I have plenty of ab workouts. It has unique moves which are creative and effective. It really works to flatten your abs and create definition in your obliques rather than many programs that tend to create a firm, but rounded pooch in your stomach. I loved the standing work because it really serves to flatten your abdominal region. It is not super hard core, but you can always add a few extra reps to each exercise, but I did find it fun and effective. I'll do it regularly. - posted by Shelley on 12/3/2008 |
