This DVD lets me work out my abs without leaving the house. The DVD has two fifteen minute workouts designed to strengthen abdominal muscles.

I’m a bit of a fitness nut and am in pretty good shape, but I was definitely feeling it the next day! The DVD contains two dynamic thirty minute workouts alongside warm-ups and cool downs. The workouts stay interesting through a combination of core-focused cardio circuits and ab-toning exercises.

This workout is fantastic and perfect in so many ways, particularly because it only takes 10 minutes to do a workout! This video is something I stick to and use very often. I even enjoy doing it.

It challenges all your abdominal muscles in various ways. It uses the plank position to work the tranverse abs and Pilates for the core. Basic aerobics and normal crunches/curls round up your ab work.
