First of all, please note that this is not a new workout. This workout was previously released as Shape Your Abs (2004) with Tracy York as the instructor. The DVD has a 35 minute cardio and weights circuit training workout. The cardio section alternates 5 minutes of cardio with 2 minutes of body sculpting. The abs section is comprised of four 5-minute ab workouts: basic crunches, pilates-inspired, core conditioning and dynamic. There is a 12-minute bonus workout that uses weights and compound exercises. I personally enjoyed this DVD because it was fun and effective. I would recommend it to solid intermediate exercisers.

I really liked this DVD, and I especially enjoyed how the exercises are different than anything I've ever done. I'd recommend it for anyone looking to switch up their ab routine. I wish she would say that you're only supposed to work abs on nonconsecutive days, though. Also, the "Total body/cardio bonus section" is kind of lame and boring, but the ab workout is really a good one.

I do ab exercises all the time, and this is one of the better routines. I can feel the burn in the abs without hurting my back, and without having to do a million reps. Very concise, clear exercises. I definitely recommend this DVD.

Tracy York introduces too many movements at a time and does not introduce them well. Wish I hadn't wasted the money, I'm disappointed in this Shape workout video.
