"I'm glad this is finally available on DVD - I've just about worn out my old VHS version of it. On this DVD you get an introduction by Kathy, followed by a warm-up routine. This is composed of some light aerobics and stretching. Then you get five different ab workouts, one for each day of the week. They each last about 10 - 12 minutes (I never actually timed them, but it seems like they get progressively longer from the first to the last). Each workout consists of approximately five different exercises, though there may be two or three variations on an exercise, so there's quite a bit of variety. Areas targeted are upper and lower abs and obliques (the muscles along the sides of the abs). The Monday workout is fairly easy and shouldn't present a problem for any but the most out-of-shape individuals. Tuesday's workout is only slightly harder. By the time you get to Wednesday and Thursday, they start getting rather challenging. To get through these you'll need to be in fairly descent shape. Friday is the really difficult one, I'd say a person would have to be in excellent shape to complete it.

Of course, you can just stop and take a short rest if the exercises get to hard for you, then join back in. It took me about six weeks before I was able to complete the Friday workout all the way through without taking a few little breaks. I like to use this video as a warm-up before my weight lifting workout.

Kathy does the workout along with 5 other people. The music is unobtrusive synth-pop type stuff with a little funk edge to it. You'll need a bench (or chair) and some dumbells (only used on two exercises, you could use some other object if you don't have dumbells).

I'd recommend this tape for the moderately fit individual looking to get into even better shape. You'll definitely get a six-pack from doing these workouts, provided that your body fat percentage is low enough that you can see your abs."

Definitely worth owning

"This is a longtime favorite of mine - introduced me to the triple decker, which whips the lower abs into shape. Probably half of the moves are beginner and I do regular crunches instead, but the other half of the moves are wonderful, challenging and yet still fun to do. Great ab workout!"

Great Abs workout, Easy to continue

"This workout is probably the best of her tapes/DVD series. It is just 10 minutes each day, five days a week. It is challenging and it definitely is a workout for your midsection. Unlike some of her other workouts that seem a bit slow and not as tiring, this one has a great tempo that tires you out."

Great workout DVD

"This DVD has been great!!! It is real fun to do and it has a way of making you feel like you have done a great job!
It gets hard as the week goes but it worths to keep doing it.
I have done it for a month now and have realized that my belly shrank quite some.
And Kathy, instructor, is a real fun to work with! Everybody on this DVD is entusiastic and great!
You will love it too!"
