Time graph for Self Magazine's Firm, Flat Abs Fast!
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.

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
so-so
I thought the routine was too slow. I did not feel the muscles working very intensely, especially in the 1st part. The section with the exercise ball, in my opinion, was not very effective and if you work-out in a basement w/low ceiling, the moves makes the ball hit ceiling repeatedly. the last 2 sections were the most intense, but again, I thought the video was boring. The "Bikini Ready Fast" video was better choreographed, more interesting, more effective. - posted by Jennifer/ohio on 7/12/2005
Truly Great
I loved this! IT is fast paced but hard enough to really feel your abs working. The video includes standing exercises, ball exercises, pilates, and yoga abs. I can vouch that after doing this video twice I feel a tremendous difference. - posted by Nydia Schmidt on 5/28/2005
Boredom-Busting Core Routine
This is a solid intermediate core routine that packs in a large variety of exercises. You don't do a lot of reps of each exercise so you don't have time to get bored with any one thing. I liked, too, that there isn't a lot of the same old, same old, but a lot of fresh movements. - posted by SharonH on 5/23/2005

Reading a Time Graph
X
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.
sample time graph
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.
