First of all, my wife is reviewing this, not me, I'm just adding my particular style of wording:

Where do I start with this piece of JUNK?

Ok, how about we start with the quality of the DVD itself. The picture is pure CRAP. It looks like an old VHS tape that was rented and viewed 1000 times, then shabbily transfered to the cheapest DVD money could buy. Maybe it was recorded onto a DVD-RW that they pulled out of someone's trashcan.
THAT'S how bad the picture is.

Next, and most importantly, the reason you BOUGHT this DVD is the actual exercises themselves.
They are RIDICULOUSLY EASY! You do NOT have to be in shape to do these, and while I understand the reason you want to get this is to get INTO shape, if they don't challenge you at all, then you will not see ANY results.
I also understand that they are CRUNCHLESS abs, but the problem is, I didn't feel ANYTHING remotely resembling a workout that tells me that my abs are indeed working.

Bottom line, I've been doing these exercises for over a month, and I have not felt or seen a single difference.
I simply cannot recommend this product at this price when there are definitely better options out there.

Simply put, if you want good abs, you're going to have CRUNCH.

Good luck!

Well, for some background information...I am pretty fit but needed a little extra toning in my abdominal area. I decided to try this video after watching the infomercial. I found out that to get the best results from this you have to perform almost impossible moves to even do the exercise. If you have bad knees or ankles forget it. I went back to my crunches and situps and worked extra hard doing planks as well and found my abs firming right up. Save your money.

Upon the first day of trying these workouts, your body may feel a bit sore, but after the first week of working out your body no longer feels a challenge. We stuck with this one for several weeks but witnessed no results, or anything at all after each workout. We quickly became bored of this workout and decided to try something new. I wouldn't rely on it to get results.

I love to work at home rather than a gym. Having the right tools to do that is important. This DVD helps me get in a good ab work out. A great addition to any workout DVD collection. Best part is it is in 6- 10 min. sections, so you can have a long or short work out or add it to another work out.

Well, it really wasn't a workout. 10 minutes of an ab workout, and I should've been crying... but I don't think I did even the equivalent of 10 crunches...

The advertising or packaging does not tell you that you have to be in fit to do the exercises. I am 30 pounds overweight and in decent shape, but could not perform the exercises. Several of them are impossible! Don't buy it unless you are already fit.

The videos are true to their advertisements. Great exercises that really give you a workout but don't leave you drained and too sore to move the next day. You really do get fast results that last!

The product dvds and packaging was in great condition. The only negative thing I would say is that technically yes the exercises are crunchless but ladies, do not think you won't be doing hard stomach conditioning. I bought this because sit ups and crunches hurt my neck but the most of the exercises still hurt my neck so I discontinued using.

Excellent anatomically for building functional strength. Cueing is decent. I would not suggest this for beginners, you need some knowledge and workout experience in order to do this properly.

Two new fitness DVDs hosted by registered nurse and athletic trainer Linda LaRue help serious belly flatteners strengthen their core muscles, burn midsection fat and increase back strength. Both are divided into three ten-minute segments, one for standing exercises, one for seated exercises, and one for floor exercises. "Crunchless Abs: Progressive Core Training" (38 min.) walks the viewer through each easy-to-follow workout, targeting abdominal muscles for a great foundation to improved fitness. "Crunchless Abs: 3-Dimensional Core Training" (33 min.) uses a simple weighted gel bal (an inexpensive floor mat is also recommended) and features movements designed to three-dimensionally sculpt one's abdomen. Both DVDs are a worthy supplement to fitness libraries, and enthusiastically recommended to anyone interested in improving their back and midsection.
