5.0 out of 5 stars Loving the burn in my abs ;->, December 25, 2007

This review is from: Star Trainers: Abs (DVD)

This is the second Star Trainers dvd I have and I really love it. It's five trainers, doing five different 10 minute ab routines. There is Rob Glick, Gaye Gasper, Violet Zaki, Kimberly Spreen and Kendell Hogan. They are all terrific and motivating and know what they're talking about.
There are regular types of moves like plank work and crunches etc, but also some good standing work like lunges with rotations. Those may not always feel at the time like they're doing much, but trust me, they are. I tried to do the entire dvd in one go, but I couldn't even do it and I'm fairly experienced and fit. You can easily do two to three at a time and get great benefits. That's another reason I love this dvd; because you can do half an hour of abs in different order than yesterday or tomorrow and that makes it less boring.
If you are going to consider buying this, get their cardio dvd too and put them together. That way, this workout will be much more effective and get better results. I really like this and will keep using it for a long time yet.

This review is from: Star Trainers: Abs (DVD)

I am a huge fan of trainer Violet Zaki. Her workout in this video is enough reason to buy it. Your abs will be screaming sore for about a week after this. Her attitude is great and she gives perfect cues. She is very original and her moves are highly effective. Being as she shows many modifications of each exercise this video will work for levels beginner to advanced.

This review is from: Star Trainers: Abs (DVD)

As a fitness professional who is very conditioned and has been performing and teaching abdominal exercises for several years, I was really happy with this DVD. I can honestly say that this is the best abdominal DVD I have purchased since Tamilee Webb's "I Want Those Abs." I was so impressed with the professionalism and the creativity of the instructors...even advanced exercisers will feel a serious burn during this workout! The best instructors by far are Rob, Gay, and Kimberly. Rob's routine was amazing from start to end. He really hit the abdominal cavity hard from all angles, and he included some fun isometrics for a great burn and he finished strong with back extensions and breast strokes for overall balance. Very nice. Gay was also all business from beginning to end. Her attitude was so fun and encouraging, and she really targets your obliques in her routine. She has some really fun oblique combinations (but they do require some coordination, so if you're not so coordinated beware!) Gay finishes strong too with some triceps push-up's/plank combinations. Perfect. Kimberly's was the toughest by far. She begins with a bent knee/leg extension oblique crunch (ouch!!) Then it's on to some Pilates style roll down's/up's with oblique rotations. It's tough, but she keeps you motivated and moving, she's really great. Violet and Kendell's routines were just mediocre, not impressive but not terrible either. What turned me off about Kendell was that he used weights but did not suggest what poundage to use...not good, especially for beginners. And though he incorporates weights in his workout, the exercises were not challenging enough to utilize the weights to their fullest potential. Violet's routine was just kind of same old, same old for me. Though she's a good instructor, her routine was pretty standard and easy to complete. I would recommend these last two sessions for beginners or on your lighter abdominal workout days. Overall, I was very happy and impressed with this DVD and would recommend it to everyone that I know. I will use this DVD for a very long time.
