Customer Reviews

Good intermediate workout :-l
This workout is OK. It's certainly not my favourite, but it gets the job done and I definately felt the burn and felt 'new' muscles for a day later. I bought it because I enjoyed their book and wanted to see what they did here. They don't only focus on abs, but they have moves to work the entire body. There is some cardio too which is good for overall fat burning - it's not too dificult to do and mainly geared for intermediates. They give you low impact options if the higher impact is too tough to do or if you have bad joints. I have to say that the stretch at the end is really nice and worth the price of the dvd alone. All you need are some dumbbells and you're good to go. It's led well, and while I won't use it all the time, it's good to go back to it everynow and then to keep myself from workout boredom.

good, but it could have been better
in favour
---------
1) Jessica Smith - she is a likeable instructor, knows what she's doing and cues well
2) no fancy moves, everything is pretty much doable but still get's the job done

minuses
-------
1) I own Women Health's DVD ( with the same instructor and I believe from the same publisher ) that offers you a possibility to mix and match your workout - you can choose what you want to do, in what sequence, whether you want to repeat a workout segment more than once. It's a shame that something like that is not offered here, I find it very practical
2) workouts are fairly short - only when I did everything back to back did I get a decent, 50 min workout. On the DVD it is suggested that you do weight training every other day, abs twice a week and cardio at least once - I am simply not sure it would be enough..

Abs?!? More like Calves!!
I overall like this workout DVD. I like Jessica, the instructor. However, I purchased this DVD to WORK MY ABS. That's my trouble area...I had high hopes to whip my abs into shape. (I had never heard of 'The Abs Diet,' it was just an impulse buy when this DVD was brand new ~ I was going solely by the name.) If you choose to play all of the "mini" workouts on the DVD, it doesn't really work your abs a whole lot.
After doing the complete workout....the next day my calves were KILLING me. I wished that my abs were sore, but they weren't....just my calves were sore, for days. (This happened b/c of the cardio portion of the DVD where you jog in place forever.)
That's all I have to say about this one....hope it helps. In short, don't buy this DVD b/c of the name. It's not an ab workout! However, if you're looking for a little variety to your usual workout routine....you may like it.
