This ab video shows you how to USE your abs. I was very flabby in the mid section (and for a woman-me-who hasn't has ANY children) I needed to do something about my poochy belly. This video will halp you to get stronger abs and a more defined waist line. The first 10-minute workout is for beginners (I suggest that you do this 10-minute workout for 2-weeks). The second 10-minute workout is the those who have reached the "Intermediate" level. This workout challenges the muscles of the ENTIRE abdominals ( I suggest you do this workout for 2-weeks as well). The third workout is for the more advanced. You can still do it if you're not advanced, but it's a more challenging workout (I suggest that you do this workout in 2-weeks as well). You can do which ever workout you like, no matter which one you choose, you'll get a GREAT workout for those ABS! It's suggested that you do the first workout for 2-weeks; the second workout for 2-weeks; and the third workout for 2-weeks. That way at the end of 6 weeks you'll have those awsome abs that you've always wanted!

i just had my second baby and believe me, this video will do the job!!! i used it for a couple months after i had my first child, then for some reason i stopped and started using another ab tape and that was a mistake. my 2nd son is almost 3 months old and my abs are looking better every week. i do the whole 30 minutes about 4 times a week and love it. i just laugh at Denise and her funny ways, she doesn't annoy me i just think she's funny, if you can handle her then this is the tape for you. thank you Denise!!!

This was my first purchase in Denise's Hit the Spot Series. I have since purchased the other target toning videos in the series(Thighs, Buns, Arms & Chest). You really do get a GREAT toning workout in each of the 10 minutes segments. Although Denise can be a bit much to take at first, I now find her to be very motivating and "like a personal trainer right in your home." She blends innovative moves with classic ones to make for a challenging and rewarding workout that gets results!!! The beachfront/resort backdrop for the videos is also quite relaxing and beautiful, and makes doing the excercises that much more enjoyable. I would HIGHLY recommend this video, along with all of the other videos in the Hit the Spot series!!!!

I love Denise Austin and her "Hit the Spot" series. Incredible workouts for the results I want!!! In Denise Austin's "Hit the Spot: Abs" you will do 3 workouts that last 10 minutes each. The results are very real. If you are a beginner and do not workout that much, like me, these workouts will be tiring and you will be a little sore, but it is so worth it!!!! I do "Hit the Spot: Abs" everyday, but I also use the "AbSlide" so my results may be a little faster than just using the workout video. The best part about these videos is not only the results, but the way they fit into a busy schedule. You will love this if you want a flatter tummy, but remember to give it time.

I like how Denise Austin focuses on good form. She frequently reminds you to protect your back etc.

She is also very peppy and motivating, which some users will really like that they have a personal coach cheering them on; however, I personally was annoyed that she was talking so much.

This tape includes mostly standard ab exercises with some pilates-inspired moves. The first two sections are appropriate for beginners because the motions are simple and not too fast; however, advanced users will find that the first two sections are not intense enough. The third section is disproportionately more intense and the moves are faster, so it is more appropriate for intermediate-advanced.

While I would definitely recommend this tape to beginners, if you are looking for something more challenging or with more variety of moves, get the Firm Parts "5 Day Abs" and "More 5-Day Abs" instead...they each include five challenging ~8minute segments that you can do one at a time or in combo.

I can't remember the names of the moves, but here's a basic description of Denise Austin's workout:

Segment 1. useless leg lifts, lots of traditional crunches, reverse crunch, oblique crunch, pelvic lift with upper crunch, oblique twist

Segment 2. lean back, pilates 100, single leg reverse crunch, crunch, combo crunch, side reach (like an oblique twist), crunch with legs up, rolling rocker.

Segment 3. twist body back and forth, reach side to side, double leg kicks, V sits to the side, single leg kick, crunches, revese crunches, upper crunch, lower ab lift

I adore this video. I'm 22 and 4 years ago I found this tape in the back of a closet, it was my sisters old tape she never used. The segments are simple 10 minute workouts that will have you sweating fromt eh work they put in. I love this workout so much I still do the segments twice a week. And after using it just 2 or 3 weeks you'll see your wasitline get this gorgeous shape and the lower abs start tightening up.

Denise Austin's - Hit the Spot Abs - is by far the best abs tape out there. In JUST 10 minutes, you can get a great workout! The best thing about it is the three levels of ability: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. I'm usually comfortable switching daily for level 2 and 3. You can FEEL her working your LOWER abs, which is what all of us want to target!

Some people make the mistake and think that they have to do all 3 workouts at once. Unless you're super-advanced, that's not necessary. Just one 10 minute session is enough! Other people complain about Denise's perkiness. I find it encouraging and it really does help!! As she says "Hit the spot and hit it good, because you are worth it!"

This video is all right, but if you have been working your abs regularly for some time now, you probably will not feel ANYTHING after doing one 10-minute work out. You might be sore after 2 10-minute workouts. However, if you do abs properly and challenge yourself, 10 minutes should be enough, so I was disappointed.

If you are short on time, these three 10 minute workouts are perfect! I've had this tape (and the Hit the Spot Arms and Bust) for several years and they are the ones that I keep doing over and over again. When I'm in a hurry, I tell myself I can always squeeze in 10 minutes to work out. As you progress, just use heavier weights for tougher workout. Denise is encouraging and motivating. Give it 110%!

This video really works your abs. Denise instructs you through 3 ten-minute workouts, and by the end of them all your abs are really on fire. I highly recommend this video to anyone who wants an effective ab workout.
