Abdominals are a hard area to tone, but if you do regular cardio and follow a great workout like this, then you'll see results fairly soon.
Chris Freytag leads this workout again (she's done most of their other ones) and she's a good instructor. She's friendly and down to earth and I find that motivating. There are four segments here. One is on a stability ball, pilates, core work and regular classic crunches. Each segment is between 8-9 minutes long so it's a good length of time, without straining or tiring easily. No angle is left out here. Abs are worked from all angles. I like the fact that you can do all of the workouts or some or one. Basically the only piece of equipment you need is a stability ball, and trust me - do this about 5 days a week and you will get good results.

With the 4 different sections, you have lots of variety and very effective exercises. The video works the abs from all angles. Chris Freytag is a friendly instructor and cues well. I liked the stability ball and classic crunch segments best. I felt the most burn from them. In the stability ball section, you'll do crunches on the ball, reverse curls and lift and lower the ball with your legs which really works the lower abs. The classic crunch section had lots of leg variations. The exercise where you lie on your side and pull your legs towards your chest really works. I didn't care for the core training which started with standing balance moves. They were pretty easy and I didn't think they did much. The ending plank moves were tough. The pilates section was just o.k. It had familiar exercises. One exerciser shows modifications, so this is a video you can grow with. I liked this better than Self's Firm, Flat Abs Fast.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great way to work your abs!, July 15, 2006

Ever since I turned 40 I have had a few more issues in the ab area! Chris Freytag's DVD is just what the doctor ordered! After I run or do a cardio workout I try to follow it with an ab workout and this DVD gives you 4 different workouts to pick from (all of which really target those abs!). The fact that the workouts are only 12 minutes really helps me actually do them... time constraints are a big reality when you have a hectic schedule. There is NO excuse not to sneak an ab workout in daily with this DVD in your house!
