I love this workout. If you like ab workouts, you have to get this. This is an advanced workout. The cover says it is 48 minutes but that includes a warmup, the actual workout and a stretch. This is not the "same old same old" ab workout.

I did the entire workout and I have Major Doms.

Tracey has two background exercisers. I say this is advanced because beginner modifications are not really shown; there are modifications given for the lower back.

She includes lots of dynamic tension holds and pulsing of crunches at various levels. She seems to take the traditional gym style moves and kicks them up a notch. The crunch sequences have lots of variations, the stability ball is not used for endless crunches but in ways I have not seen used much in other workouts. One exercise she has you on your back with the ball between your legs and you pulse up. This not only works your abs but inner thighs too.

She has a tough plank section using the ball and a super tough side lying sequence that ends with side dips.

In the middle of the workout she has a long superman sequence on the ball for the back and she even ends with a nice stretch at the end yoga inspired moves.

The workout is chaptered so you can pick and choose.

I give this one an A+.
