Certified instructor description: Combines Pilates-inspired movements with classic abdominal toning. You’ll increase the strength and flexibility of your “core” muscles, the muscles that support and stabilize your entire body. Karen’s unique complementary design optimizes safety and effectiveness. For example, a contracting movement is followed by a lengthening motion. Or a back-muscle move is followed by an ab routine (usually integrating the legs and arms to vary the intensity). Lots of modifications, exquisite cuing and quiet instrumental music. ©2000.

Karen Voight's Pilates Abs & Back |
 Great for anyone with back problems |
| I had a microdiscectomy several years ago and usually wake up with a stiff, sore back. This workout makes my back feel better every time I do it and it does a good job of working my abs. Karen's cueing is great and her attitude is pleasant - I will probably get more of her workouts in the future. I didn't give it 5 stars because I think, like several other reviewers, that it should have a beginner/intermediate rating. - posted by Dawn on 4/21/2011 |

| Low back, Hip and Hip-Flexor Relief AT LAST! |
| For the past few weeks my lower back has been achy, achy achy. My right hip and hip flexor has been sooo tight too. No matter what kind of stretching/strengthening I've been doing, it's remained the same. UNTIL NOW. My mother gave this DVD to me several months ago. I failed to check it out until now. I'm so glad I finally did! After only ONE time doing this video I have IMMEDIATE BACK PAIN and HIP PAIN RELIEF! Don't get me wrong...everything's a little sore still and will be for a few days (as can be expected when muscles remain tense for lengthy periods of time). I really love this routine! The music is pretty catchy too. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! - posted by Rachael of South Dakota on 3/8/2011 |

| Good Choice! |
| Was a bit intimidating to watch but once I began this work out I enjoyed it very much. Its the perfect combo of pilates, strengthening, and yoga moves. Good Choice! - posted by Kay on 12/18/2010 |

| Great core exercising and overall flexibility. - posted by Daniel on 10/28/2010 |

| Effective and enjoyable. |
| Really like this work-out for your abs and back --not killer, but very effective. Karen is great -- her cueing and instruction on body mechanics are top-notch,and my back definitely feels stronger after I do the work-out. Check out her tips on fitness walking on the DVD also. - posted by Isabel on 10/23/2010 |

| Very enjoyable! |
| I'm not a big fan of pilates, but I sure enjoy this DVD. It has a good pace and modifications for those of us who need to build up some strength before attempting the "regular" moves. To me, it seems more like a yogilates video than just pilates--maybe that's why I like it so much. Seems to do a good job on the core area. I highly recommend to those who want to strengthen their cores but want something other than the typical ab workouts. Nice change of pace and I like the way Karen teaches this workout. - posted by Tess on 10/15/2010 |

| Good for beginners |
| Nice job Karen. For those who need an intermediate video, this may not be the one. - posted by Taylor on 10/14/2010 |

| Karen's pilates workout |
| This is a good workout. I can feel a difference in my abs. Although I'm having trouble getting the fat off my abs, I can sure suck them in now. I love Karen's cueing, I need to get her other pilates video. - posted by Terri on 7/17/2010 |

| A Great Way to Get Started....and Advance |
| This is a great workout for a beginner to Pilates or any ab/back work. Karen's cueing is good for the most part and the music is benign enough to not get annoying time after time. She doesn't go into variations on all the exercises, which is a downside, but you can generally figure them out (bend knees slightly if it's too hard for your lower back, etc). There is room to advance as your muscles become stronger as well. I've had this DVD for about a month and I've been doing it every other day. I definitely feel a difference and don't dread doing the workout. Give it a try! - posted by Marybeth on 6/14/2010 |

| This is awesome for stregthening core |
| This video has been a help with gaining back core strength after debilitating back pain due to Degenerative Disc Disease. I feel taller, my posture is better and my I am gaining back core strength that was lost with back problems! This is awesome and goes by fast as each exercise is done in segments of a minute or so! It did not feel like work, but my abs sure felt it later. This is my first Karen Voight video and she is a very good instructor -- clear, well cued and has a friendly personality. I will definitely purchase more of her videos as I continue on my road to recovery! - posted by CO Exerciser on 12/7/2009 |
