I've been impressed with all three of the Method tapes I have. This one is 90 minutes, divided into 3 sections. You can do them all at once or split them up. There are upper and lower body strengthening moves, stretching, and yoga, but the "guts" of the program is the ab work. It's not traditional ab work, and Jennifer really doesn't even refer to it as ab work, but you work your entire torso as a stabilizer for whatever move you happen to be doing at the time.

The first section is almost entirely devoted to abs, and it is *superb*. This is the most challenging ab routine I've ever seen, even moreso than Keli Roberts' tape. I'm sure it will be awhile before I master it, but I know that once I do, I will be one strong woman! I highly recommend this tape to anyone who likes Keli Roberts' ab training style. This uses a similar philosophy, but goes one step (or many steps?) beyond. Grade A.

Instructor Comments:
Jennifer Kries, in addition to being one of the most strong and graceful instructors I've ever seen on a video, is also very warm, friendly, and encouraging. She gives excellent instruction and shows modifications for beginners.
