Self - Firm Flat Abs Fast [DVD]

I love this dvd. I viewed it on my netflix, and soon after I decided I had to buy it. I went everywhere (best buy, walmart, circuit city) and couldn't find it. I bought it here on Amazon and I got it today. I am an intermediate/low-advance exerciser, and this workout beat me. I felt "good pain" during the pilates workout! I love the ab ball workout! I love this dvd, and I will be doing this 3-4 times a week. I have been exercising for nearly 3 years now, and I haven't been able to achieve a flat stomach so I decided to give this a try.I have a small tummy but nothing close to Violet's abs! I want her abs, and I am committed to doing this video 3-4 times a week.Everyone should go get this...very fun, fast workout. Not boring at all. I love it

I really enjoy this video. I tried it first on Netflix to see if I would want to own it. I usually get pretty bored with work outs but this one is really helpful and engaging. There are enough different segments that I stay focused and my muscles don't get bored. I'm not super fit but I'm not over weight either, and even without doing it 4+ times a week I feel and see a difference in my abs. You need a balance ball and weights, and even though you are at home I recommend wearing shoes. Like other Self videos it has a lot of filler in the beginning, but I just use that time to stretch! I recommend this video for anyone looking to stay active and get trim, not bulky. I'm sure it's a good supplement to any cardio routine.

I go to abs classes frequently and wanted to get this DVD to help mix up my routine and give me something to do if I didn't want to leave the house. I was a little disappointed in this DVD. I love Self Magazine and their workouts and the amazon reviews made it seem very promising. The routines are broken down into four separate workouts. The only one that involved any effort on my part was the Pilates-inspired section. As for the rest, the other sections would have you do too few reps, I felt, to get your muscles warmed up, let alone reshape them. I think this DVD is great for beginners. Its simple enough to follow and it won't scare you away too soon. But if you're like me and you workout on a regular basis and just want a new routine, this probably isn't the abs workout for you.

This is a great abs workout. The moves are a bit challenging at first, but eventually they become easy to complete. The exercises work all of your abs muscles, including lower abs and obliques. There are moves from yoga and pilates included.The DVD also includes a mini cardio workout (mostly marching in place, jumping jacks, etc.) you can do in addition to the abs workout. The instructor is great, very encouraging (but not in an annoying Denise Austin way), and the other 2 "workout models" (not sure what they're called...) are of average size, not overly muscular, which is also nice.

This is by far the best ab workout DVD I have found. I especiall love the "pilates" abs section. The moves really work your abdominal muscles, but are still easy enough for an intermediate person like myself. I found it challenging, but not overwhelming.I have definitely seen results in my "love handles" and upper abs! I do this DVD 3-4 times a week, and it goes by SO fast!Awesome abs workout!P.S. The girls do seem to smile a bit much though....how can you smile so big while your abs are BURNING!!! haha

Well the title seems to fit the dvd "fast" but in a different aspect, as far as time goes. I thought this was very boring and slow, but it was over in no time at all. It probably would be great for someone just beginning and has very little or no time at all to exercise and it doesn't work up a sweat. It was very very easy to do and I'm a beginner myself.

I bought this product hoping for a lot of ab work. This video focuses on cardio and then brings in some ab work. I already do cardio, I wanted something that my trainer in New York would do, instead I got a lot of foot work. It does break of the monatany of my favorite videos.

This is an excellent workout for the abs! I do this 3 times a week and I already see a difference. They have several different "styles" of ab related exercise. They have a 10 minute pilates ab workout, a 10 minute yoga workout, they have ones that you can use the "ball", etc. There is also a 10 minute cardio workout at the end. Very good DVD!

They had met my expectations. They continue to challenge me. They both have good variety of routines and I did not find it boring at all, rather fun, challenging, & exciting.
