I've only got one word for this tape. WOW. How can such mild-looking exercises hurt so much?

This abs tape is broken into two 1/2-hour segments. The first is for beginners to this style of ab work (not necessarily beginning exercisers), and then the second part is for those who have mastered the first. Charlene tells you that if you've mastered the first part, there's no point in continuing to do it -- you should just do part two all the time.

The exercises are a combination of the Keli Roberts'/Jennifer Kries' style of ab training and traditional ab training, with much more emphasis on the first. There are also some back exercises. A lot of the exercises are extremely challenging, but you need to be careful to follow Charlene's form pointers to get the full benefit. She does give outstanding pointers, and she also gives you a lot of good information about abs in general.

I almost didn't get this tape because I didn't think I needed any more abs tapes. But I'm so glad I did. I give it an A+.

Instructor Comments:
Charlene shares a wealth of information about how the abs work, what exercises will do what, etc. I always learn something from her when I'm doing her tapes. I adore this woman!
