I got this video cheap through Ebay because I needed another ab tape. I read the reviews here first on the tape before I bid. So I decided to give you mine. I really like this video. It's not choregraphed, it's alot like the show. Laurie gets down and does the exercises, mostly 15 reps each. The beginner segment you do each exercise once and the intermediate you do each twice. In each segment you do work for your 3 abdominal sections which is nice. I thought the beginner segment was pretty tough for a beginner. I felt it right off and I have strong abs ( I do Firm 5 Day, Abs of Steel 2000, and Abs & More) I like it more than Firm 5 Day abs simply because there is instruction about proper techinque in this video which makes it suitable for beginners or anyone who likes coaching. Firm seems pretty non-existant on proper form. All in all it's a great ab workout.

Instructor Comments:
Laurie does a great job of telling you how you should be doing the exercises. My only complaint about her is that she starts the exercises as soon as she says it which doesn't give you much time to prepare to start. Pete on the other hand can kind of get on your nerves because he just sits there next to her talking in a whisper about how you need to go for it. I wish he would have been quieter. He does count the reps for you sometimes which I like. Mostly because you know it's over soon.
