Pink Power: Flat Abs 5 Ways

This DVD contains 6 short abdominal or core routines which are about 10 to 11 minutes each. These are intermediate to advanced workouts, with challenging and intense moves. Some of the moves are different and interesting, so if you are looking for variety, this excellent DVD is it. One recommendation is that the workouts could be a little longer. But you may do all the workouts, or play it in any combination. Plus, it would be a good idea to add a separate stretch section.All workouts are fast paced, with no time wasted. Jessica Smith instructs clearly and demonstrates along with two other toned ladies, with one usually showing the easier intermediate moves.When I first did the DVD, I did not finish all the workouts.

I LOVE this DVD! Jessica Smith seems like a down to earth person! I like how her moves flow right into each move without ever having to break and reposition. She cues very well and she doesn't chit chat endlessly but has the right energy to help you get through the moves. I also like how you can see her struggle as well and when you feel like dying or ready to give up she'll tell you how many more reps there are left. I also like how she counts for you instead of having to count it yourself. She along with Ellen Barrett are my favorite fitness coahes that I always go back to.

The variety of workouts on this DVD is what keeps me going back. I checked it out from the library and had to add it to my collection. Great variety of ab workouts that prevent you from getting bored. I try and do one 10 minute ab workout a day to supplement my usual cardio.

This one's really good. Haven't tried a SHAPE DVD before this but will be sure to try another in the future. Lots of choices here.

This is a great video. It's not just the same old crunches. It has some fun, challenging and innovative moves. I'm 44yrs old and a former dancer. I've done a lot of workouts in my day so I speak from experience.

Great workout for the abs.

If you want to get your abs in shape these exercises will do it. They are hard, but effective. She has an easy option for each one, so you can complete the reps. Great work out tape.

I cannot review this product because I never used it. It was cracked when it arrived. So, I had to send it back.
