that will work to strengthen your abs and make them bigger...

...but nobody will see them unless you burn off the fat.

The abdominal muscles aren't large enough to have enough of a caloric burn to decrease body fat.

Now THAT is the reason why weightlifting works to burn fat; because it is taxing physically to lift weights, and the body constantly burns fat when the muscles are recovering.

5 minutes can be good for your ab-work to strengthen them as long as the intensity is really high.

But by itself, you're wasting your time. Incorporate other exercises and you'll get the results you want. :)

Five minutes isn't enough time. Aim to do exercises for a bit longer. General exercise a day should be between 30 - 60 minutes. Plus drink lots of water, and eat less salty foods.

No

Muffin top is caused by fat, so you need to do cardio

And 5 minutes will have no impact on your appearance

Muffin tops are fat. You need to burn off the fat before the muscles will show from your ab workouts. Do cardio.
