This is a "must have" for anyone who is serious about learning to train the abdominal area properly. Scott Cole is a master trainer and he thoroughly explains and demonstrates every movement. The video is divided into a beginner-intermediate workout and an advanced workout so it is safe for beginners, but challenging enough for advanced exercisers. One of the unique features of this workout is that Scott does part of the beginner's section sitting on a chair, thereby taking strain off the neck and back while learning to properly contract the abdominals. Also included in the workout are some excellent strengthening movements for the back which should always follow an abdominal workout as well as stretching segments. By the way, this video might have been made for men, but my wife has tried it and says "it's great for women, too! "

Only for very beginners and maybe not even them. Very disappointing, a waste of time. Try "Abs of Steel" (the first version) for a very good, if a bit advanced, workout.

i should have known that any "___ of steel" production is going to have godawful aerobics, but this dude dancing away to quite possibly the cheesiest music ever.... i had to stop the tape because i was laughing so hard. homeboy looks RIDICULOUS!!
now, once you get to the actual workout, it's decent.
it may seem a bit too easy for women, since this part works on lateral flexibility which seems harder for men. it took me a while to like this tape, i still have to fast forward past the aerobics section, it's just too funny. i would recommend the warm up from "crunch-washboard abs" over the aerobics part of this tape.

This is a pretty poor product. Not only is the music so loud that you can hardly hear the man talking, but the workout is entirely too easy for any regular excerciser. This product may be good for those who are just starting to get in shape, but those who have pretty strong cores should brush over this one. I still believe that the original Abs of Steel from '91 is the best and most challenging.

The approach in this video is intelligent and unique. Most people think that there is only one way to achieve these types of abs.... the 'no pain no gain' approach. Scott's approach shows that you don't have to do it that way...if you're in tune with the real nature of your body and how the muscles work and develop, you can achieve great abs. I loved it!

This might be good for someone who has never worked out but I was very disappointed with it. Used it once and it will go to the garage now. This certainly isn't good enough to tone, let alone give you abs of steel. What a joke!
