Not quite perfect, but a good core workout February 24, 2008 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Instructor Meghan White does a better job of training what I need trained in Perfect Abs. However, having said that, this is a good beginner to intermediate "core" trainer that will wear you out. If you're severely overweight start elsewhere - this DVD will discourage you. Also, to do the full DVD you'll need to own certain items: fitness ring, stability ball and weighted ball. You'll want a mat for the basics.
I can complete the "basic" five minute abs routines but just barely, and I am fairly physically fit for a 37-year-old male. The 15 minute routines are not much of a challenge because they cover several different muscle groups.
I have not done the more advanced routines because they require items that I do not own items such as a weighted ball and a fitness ring.
SERIOUS ab sculpting! January 29, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is not for those who aren't serious about sculpting their waistline. It's given me shape to my flabby waist within 2 weeks! (I'm 37 and a mother of 4). I actually see a six-pack taking shape. I love that she works the obliques and the back...usually underworked or altogether neglected. I like the progressive challenge of the different workouts and the routines are by NO means boring. This program strengthens your entire mid-section and you WILL see results if you'll commit the time and (as the drill sergeants use to say back in the day) "dont cheat your body"! This is a MUST HAVE.
Great core workout May 30, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have only done this video a couple of times, but my husband does it religiously & loves it! We are only able to do about 15 minutes of the core abs b/c it's pretty tough but a great workout that you can keep building on!
Better ones out there May 6, 2007 20 out of 24 found this review helpful
To be able to fully use everything on the DVD, you'll need a Pilates ring, a small Pilates ball, hand weights, a stability ball, and a mat, which is almost 50% more equipment than I have or am willing to spend more money and space on.
With the exception of a few variations of standard floor crunches, almost ALL of the exercises are standard Pilates floorwork and best suited for intermediate/advanced exercisers. There's not much here for the true beginner, the overweight, or the older exerciser.
Workouts range from 4 minutes to 30 minutes and unlike quite a few other DVDs of its type, it's all presented in a bland style that borders on the monotonous.
In the end, I traded it in to my local used DVD store. There are better DVDs out there for working your core that require less equipment or none at all. For the beginner who wants a Pilates-style workout, I'd recommend something like Pilates for Dummies, Pilates for Everybody, or Pilates for Inflexible People.

I have used the program but I'm not very impressed compared with others I purchased. Not for a beginner. I did receive my dvd in a timely fashion.
