Certified instructor description: As Kari says, “straight from the gym — a quick, effective, to-the-point ab workout.” The moves are proven classics: a blend of Pilates and traditional abdominal toning. But the feel is different; Kari makes it interesting with tempo changes, tension-releasing stretches and varied sequencing (e.g. an isolated curl becomes a multiple-muscle core-body exercise followed by a faster-paced bicycle crunch). As usual, Kari’s cuing and technique is excellent. After meticulously demonstrating each move, she’ll walk among the class inspiring proper form (e.g. “don’t let that back arch…”). ©2002.

Kari Anderson's Curl
Kari Anderson Curl
This is an excellent supplemental abs workout! I have only done it a few times so far...and still "get stuck" in only one part, where I have to take a break. I definitely feel this one for days afterword. Kari is an excellent instructor that focuses on form, which is important to me. I'm glad I got this, especially at the sale price! - posted by Mary on 5/11/2012

Great, short work-out
Kari's approach to work the abs and back is short and thorough. She describes the muscles to be worked and their function. I find the side to side movements as valuable as the crunches. - posted by Bobbi on 3/23/2012

Great Quick Ab Workout
I enjoy this quick workout...I can feel the results after just a week! - posted by Linda on 2/23/2012

Flat Abs Fast
This video is great. I feel like I will have a six-pack by summer. It is intense and you can feel it working as you are doing the exercises. I am a more advanced exerciser and this video worked areas that others didn't. Love it! - posted by Michelle on 1/5/2012

Fantastic ab workout
I must admit this is the first Kari Anderson video I have ever used. It's a basic but tough ab workout. It's short enough that you can squeeze it in every day no matter how busy you are. She is a wonderful instructor, not screaming and hyper like some instructors I won't name. She's calm and thorough. I am definitely going to check out her other workout videos. This one is a keeper. - posted by Eileen on 7/7/2011

Very Effective
I really enjoy this video. It's quick and effective. Short, sweet and to the point. I would call myself an intermediate exerciser. Definitely a good workout but not so hard that you end up avoiding it. I would definitely recommend this to others! - posted by Sue on 5/6/2010

Good Consistent Ab Workout
The workout was good but I wouldn't classify it as advanced. While it was 20 minutes of ab work none of the exercises were very strenuous. - posted by Kim on 4/29/2010

terrific!
this is just what I was looking for! it's intense & yet short enough for me to have no excuse not to train abs! it's the perfect addition to my regular gym routine. her queues are timed well, the music fits the program - everything you need to hit abs from all angles! - posted by Erika on 3/25/2010

Great Ab Workout
I've had this DVD for several months now and I really enjoy the exercises. They are varied and tough for me...keeping in mind that I have some ab flab :) It is a part of my weekly rotation. Her cuing is excellent and she does a GREAT job building intensity/difficulty into each move. My only complaint is some of her chattiness...there are a few parts that I find to be really annoying. I generally try to ignore Kari's commentary during those few short segments. I do recommend this to others. - posted by Kim on 1/27/2009

Best ab DVD out there
This DVD has made it into my regular rotation. Although I'll occasionally add on another 10 minute ab routine, my abs don't feel like I'm doing them justice till I do this 20 minute session with Kari. Her cuing is excellent, production quality is great, and her pointers during the sets are invaluable for safety and making the most of each exercise. She's far from annoying, but is accessible and down-to-earth. This is my first Kari Anderson DVD and I was quite impressed. Everyone needs this if they're looking for a good ab workout! - posted by Brittany on 1/25/2009

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Do not appear to be genuine, honest and helpful to others.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.

Narrow screen
