Good exercises, bad demonstrators

"This is a fairly good abs workout. The exercises work all of the abdominal muscles and really work the obliques and the lower abs. The video consists of a warmup and three 12-minute abs workouts. There are also demonstrations of the exercises in each of the three workouts. The exercises are very basic, very good. Be sure to really concentrate on working your lower abs on the butt lifts instead of using the momentum of your legs. The rest are no brainers. A few negatives -- the demonstrators, the warmup, and the length. First, the demonstrators are four girls with really great bodies, which is good, because it is nice to see the end goal. However, they look very unhappy, unapproachable, and bored out of their minds! Second, the warmup is basically five minutes of running in place. I just skip the warmup. Lastly, the length of the exercises is too short. I just do all three workouts back to back for a 36 minute workout. Also, I find the instructor annoying. He keeps saying things like "You want to wear a belly ring? You want to look good in that bikini, don't you?" I say do the exercises a few times with the sound on to memorize them (very easy to do, because each 12 minute workout is a short set of three exercises and a stretch and then the set is repeated three times). Then, do them back to back with the sound off."

Great results

"I have used this video for six weeks and have been VERY happy with the results. My stomach is firmer and I'm beginning to see muscle tone for the first time. What I like best is that the exercises are not stressful to your lower back (I have sciatica) and are done without excess equipment. I will keep using this tape and hope to have a six-pack soon!"

Great Ab Workout!!!

"If you want a brief, intense ab workout, this is definitely the video for you. It's 12 minutes of intense ab work and then you're done--no fluff, no BS. There are three different workouts on the tape so you don't get bored with the same routine. The exercises are innovative and the routine is well structured. A definite buy!"

Nine Ab Exercises

"I didn't find this DVD very useful. The routines are boring, and the instructor is annoying. He sits in front and does one or two of each exercise while counting by drawing out each number "onnneeee, twwwoooo...," and then he gets up and watches the girls for the rest of the set. Each routine is just three sets of three exercises. The warm-up is pointless; it's just running in place. Once you learn the exercises, there is no need for the DVD, which does little more than count for you."
