I like this video a lot. It is a terrific change from the usual crunches, reverse curls etc. Although the tape title says it is for beginners, I believe that it would benefit all levels of exercisers. In fact, I think that a beginner would find it extremely difficult to do the entire tape. The outdoor setting of the tape is absolutely beautiful. I imagine I am outdoors on the sand under the gorgeous blue sky enjoying my ab work.

My criticism is that the video is too short and also that Rodney Yee does the exercise where you lie on your back and lower your straight legs to the floor too many times. All in all, I will do this tape probably once or twice a week in addition to my other ab tapes. I give it a B+.

Instructor Comments:
Rodney Yee is my favorite yoga instructor. He is so graceful and fluid and his voice is very soothing yet it is very motivating. He makes you feel that you are doing much more for yourself and your life than just simply exercising your abdominal muscles.
