This workout is OK. It's certainly not my favourite, but it gets the job done and I definately felt the burn and felt 'new' muscles for a day later. I bought it because I enjoyed their book and wanted to see what they did here. They don't only focus on abs, but they have moves to work the entire body. There is some cardio too which is good for overall fat burning - it's not too dificult to do and mainly geared for intermediates. They give you low impact options if the higher impact is too tough to do or if you have bad joints. I have to say that the stretch at the end is really nice and worth the price of the dvd alone. All you need are some dumbbells and you're good to go. It's led well, and while I won't use it all the time, it's good to go back to it everynow and then to keep myself from workout boredom.

in favour
---------
1) Jessica Smith - she is a likeable instructor, knows what she's doing and cues well
2) no fancy moves, everything is pretty much doable but still get's the job done

minuses
-------
1) I own Women Health's DVD ( with the same instructor and I believe from the same publisher ) that offers you a possibility to mix and match your workout - you can choose what you want to do, in what sequence, whether you want to repeat a workout segment more than once. It's a shame that something like that is not offered here, I find it very practical
2) workouts are fairly short - only when I did everything back to back did I get a decent, 50 min workout. On the DVD it is suggested that you do weight training every other day, abs twice a week and cardio at least once - I am simply not sure it would be enough..

This review is from: The Abs Diet for Women Workout (DVD)

As a runner I am generally a pretty active person, but I am a gym-aphobe and regardless of how important it is I hate doing core/strength training. I wanted to find a workout DVD that was not only effective but fast, fun, and entertaining. I found it!

This DVD is amazing! I got this as well as the Abs Diet Workout2 DVD and I definitely enjoy this one much more. It's led well, the exercises are all simple but get you working hard, it goes by quickly, and it's fun! I consider myself to be in fairly decent shape and I was really feeling the workout the next day. Each segment is relatively short, so I prefer to play all of them and go through the entire DVD doing all the routines--it's an excellent workout, completely suitable for both beginner and intermediate exercisers. I also love it because it's just the right amount of time (about an hour) to go through the entire thing, so it's convenient pretty much any time of day.

I am so happy I found this DVD, I actually look forward to working out now!
