Certified instructor description: You’ll maximize interest and effectiveness with four distinct ab-focused techniques (no-gimmicks, these are all classic/proven moves). You’ll begin with traditional crunch/curl abwork, then you’ll intensify those routines by incorporating a stability ball. That’s followed by Pilates-style corework. And, finally, a series of graceful yoga-based exercises. The bright, on-the-beach setting and common sense approach to exercise is both motivating and effective. The program ends with informative segments on exercise, fitness and healthy eating. Requires a stability ball. The DVDs include a 5-minute “bonus” workout. ©2005. DVD has:
Chapter menus.

| Great lower intermediate workout |
| I really like Violet and I think she, Marie and Deborah do a great job. There is lots of variety with the standing as well as mat exercises. I like to do it for a light workout or add it after I've done a cardio workout. It's definitely a high beginner/lower intermediate workout. As a high intermediate/lower advanced workout person, I'm glad to have this in my rotation of fitness DVDs. Plus the scenery is great! - posted by Jen on 5/10/2011 |

| Not good |
| This was not at all challenging. I do like Violet (your best Butt fast, killer kicks) but this was waaaaay too easy. For a complete beginner. Violet is fine, cues well, the set is nice to look at, music unimpressive but not offensive. This is just an extremely beginnerish workout with very few reps of each exercise. It's boring and not good use of my workout time. NOT for intermediates. - posted by Melissa on 12/5/2010 |

| Quick but maybe too quick... |
| I was looking for variety from my Tracy Anderson ab video and tried this one on the recommendation of a reviewer of the TA video. I did not feel like I got any kind of a burn from this workout. I regularly do pilates/yoga and abs, and so I don't *think* it was my form or effort. Just as I was starting to feel a burn in one area we would move on and I left feeling about the same as I do after my yoga workout -not a core ab workout. Very beginner I would say. That being said -it was nice setting, easy to follow and super quick with nice variety -so I would recommend it to a friend just starting out I guess. - posted by Dee on 7/19/2010 |

| Great Beginner Workout |
| This is a great beginner workout. Violet Zaki is wonderful - one of my favourite instructors. Great scenery, music, cuing and of course, a wonderful variety of ab exercises. I don't have an exercise ball so I just use my Pilates ring and BOSU during the stability ball exercises. I would say this is a beginner/low intermediate workout, not an intermediate one. I'm an intermediate/advanced exerciser but I did this workout tonight for something light and easy. Sometimes I do this DVD after I've done one of my more challenging workouts when my muscles are all ready fatigued, just for a little something extra. I've had this DVD for about a year and a half and although I don't do it very often, I'm happy to have it in my collection. - posted by Jen on 5/17/2010 |

| will pass it on to a beginner |
| liked the video when I first got it. the ab work outs are great for beginners. Got to agree it doesn't have enough reps. - posted by Robyn on 4/23/2007 |

| Passed It On |
| I loved this video when I got it...but it wasn't challenging for long. But, it is one of the few videos I can pass on to a friend without having to apologize for cheesy instructors and obnoxious music. Great for beginners. Intermediate exercisers will be bored, Advanced may actually fall asleep. - posted by Melissa on 10/9/2006 |

| OK video |
| This video does have a nice production to it and a great variety of ab exercises , but not enough reps and is not challenging enough. To much time is spent stretching in between sets !! Maybe good for beginers. - posted by shelly on 5/2/2006 |

| the time flies! |
| Because the workout is four 6 min. sections, the time really flies and it's not too strenuous. I normally wouldn't be able to take 24 min. of ab work. I would say the video is for beginner/intermediate. Someone always shows modifications. As a side note, I do the workout barefoot and have no problems. - posted by Kelly Ann on 8/25/2005 |

| good intermediate workout |
| I liked that the video started with a warm-up and each section ended with a short stretch. There's lots of variety and the cuing is good. I was a little disappointed with the stability ball section. Most of the exercises were WITH the ball (bringing it to the side, lifting it up in the air) and I was hoping for more ON the ball. The only exercise on the ball was a few crunches. The exercises were effective; just not what I expected. I'd receommend the workout because you do feel the burn. - posted by Kelly Ann on 8/24/2005 |

| Liked The Variety |
| I liked the different segments, I'm not to much into yoga so I skip that part, however you get a nice workout no matter which way you go. - posted by Mary on 7/14/2005 |
