The DVD is composed of 10 different ab exercises. They are easy to follow. You could really feel the difference after doing the exercises properly. The reason I am not giving it a 5 star is that it does not work the obliques enough.

I've only done this workout a total of maybe 10 times. Each time I go through the full 10 sequences. It works! The next day I can definitely feel it as I am going about my day. I recommend this workout for toning up your midsection. It doesn't take up much time and you will see a difference!

This is a routine of 10 basic crunches. The format is easy to follow - but as one reviewer states - one must get up and manually stop the disk to really get a full handle on each crunch - not very sexy, "fun", or hip - yet, the detailed narrative is precisely where this presentation has its strength - once the exercise is mastered, one can take it to the gym and elaborate - this production has noticeably improved my ab workout and my abs.

I have excercised to Gay Gasper's 10 minute Abs workout section for the past two years. It absolutely works! I used it consistently last year and was able to fit into my smallest clothes. I briefly switched to another DVD and noticed that my clothes were tight again. I started using the 10 minutes Abs workout DVD two months ago and my clothes feel wonderful again. I am able to wear my pencil skirts without my stomach protruding. I look great and feel great!

Ab Workout for Dummies is by far one of the best workouts you'll find. The warm up is fun, easy to pick up on and she introduces you to many different exercises while explaining what area it works. I was only able to do a few reps of the 1st 5 or 6 exercises starting out, and boy could I feel it the next day! The instructor really knows her stuff and if I can get abs that look like hers, that's motivating!
As always, loved purchasing from Amazon as they always get the products to me very quickly and you can't go wrong with the super saver shipping!

I am thoroughly enjoying this dvd and do see results. Gaye is easy to follow and the routine is pleasant. The best ab workout I have done so far!

Most of these "crunches" are variations of Pilates exercises. They are well-presented, explained, and performed. I am a Pilates instructor and they were a bit easy for me but I do them as an adjust to my regular workout. I love the warm-up -- sometimes I do it 3x just for a quick cardio workout!

Borrowed this from my local library and liked it so much I bought it. Very simple to follow, background music can be turned off if annoying (it really isn't). Can do either a full hour or 10 minute routine.No equipment needed except a mat to lay on. Only issue was she doesn't keep count verbally so you have to keep an eye on the video or know how many reps she does.

I did the ab routine with Gay yesterday. I was able to do 9 out of the ten exercises. Today I have mild soreness in my abs.

Basic Ab Workout For Dummies is fifty-three minutes long and was released on DVD on September 24, 2002. Your instructor for this series is Gay Gasper. The workout is broken down to twelve different routines and that include the warm-up. The hardest of the routines is the warm-up because she does it at too fast a pace and I found it was hard to keep up with her. Most of the exercises are done lying on the floor. Baring the warm-up, I found only one or two that I had trouble with. I person in better shape and a first timer may be able to do all the exercises. I basically did two segments at a time. Still this is a good Abs work-out video. Basic Ab Workout For Dummies gets a B+.
