I love this tape! At first I wasn't sure if I was doing the moves right for the lower abs, but after a short time, I am doing it right, and see a big difference around my hip bone area. The moves aren't too slow, but not fast either. Just when you are starting to get fatigued, you move onto another section, and then back, so your entire abdominal area is completely worked. It has three 15 minute sections, each with its own warm-up and cool-down. There is no advertisement, in the beginning, to wait through. My back feels great after doing these, too! Which is an added bonus for me. I highly recommend it and want to try more ab tapes by Tamilee.

After using this tape for only about a week, I've already noticed results. Combined with only about 20-30 minutes on the treadmill, I've noticed a BIG difference in the way my abs look. Tamilee is not irritating, and is a great instructor. She explains each move carefully, and the movements are not overly hard to do. I also like how it's divided into three different 15 minute segments. It alleviates boredom with just one routine. I highly recommend this video.

This workout may seem "too easy" but the exercises are extremely effective. I did one of the three workouts on the tape every other day and really started to see an improvement in my abs. Tamilee even suggests in the tape that after you learn the routines, "turn her off and turn on some music". This is just what I did but I also wrote down each routine in detail and now I can do the routines every other day whether I do the video or not. This means I can do my ab exercises while watching TV or when I'm away on vacation. It is important to do these exercises consistently for the results you want. These exercises are excellent and you can do more reps and sets and work your muscles harder for a tougher workout. I skip the before and after warm-up and stretch because I do my own routines but the ones Tamilee provides are excellent. Don't be fooled by the fact that the tape says it is for beginners. You can work your muscles deeply even if you are an advanced exerciser. If you could only buy one workout tape for your abs, this is the one to buy. Tamilee has a very pleasant voice and manner as well. I also love her tape "I want those arms" and do that one regularly, too.

I have had this video for a couple of years now. Of all the Ab routines I have tried this is the easiest to use and I got the best results. I do one of the 3 workouts each day along with 30 to 40 minutes of cardio. It works great.

This is a terrific tape! This is the best abs tape I have ever owned which have been quite a few. (Keli Roberts, ESPN & The Firm to name a few) I got rid of all of them when I got this tape. I won't break down a review since others have but I definately recommend it.

I have had this video for several years and still find it extremely effective. I find the first two sets most fun and easy to adjust to how you want to work that day. The first one is easier but effective while the second is much harder but also adjustable. I still use frequently many of Tamilee's abs and buns etc. tapes and they still work as well as they did when they first came out several years ago.

This is the first tape I ever used when I started working out. If Tamilee hadn't been such a good instructor (and non-irritating), I probably wouldn't have stuck with it. This tape gives you a great targeted workout in a short amount of time.

this tape is good, it has 3 15min ab exercises.
I won't lie the background, music and the outfits are rather cheesy, but the workouts themselves cover the entire abs.
You get the usual crunches, but are very slow, so it makes them harder!
Each 15min workout gets a warm-up, which i never use, and has a good stretch at the end of each secment.
Tamilee is a great instructor, she is not annoying like other instructors.

This video is good for beginners, but those looking for a more intense ab workout I would suggest buying another video. In my opinion she doesn't do enough reps of each exercise and some of them you don't even feel as if you're doing anything at all!!! However, she's a great instructor so I am going to try to original Abs of Steel.
