This video features four 12-minute abs-focused routines, which Chris talks you through easily. The overall focus of the workouts seem tailored more to beginners--which is fine, because it's easy to modify to make things more challenging. You'll need a stability ball to be able to do all the exercises. The Pilates segment, especially, is effective (though those with neck issues should feel free to support your neck with one hand if it gets tired). Intermediate exercisers should blast through all four workouts to feel real results. You'll need to remind yourself to focus on working that transverse abdominus muscle (which Chris will help you find). Bonus features include tips to disguise a less than perfect belly (omit salty foods as they make you retain water; dress in light, loose layers), yoga moves to help relieve stress, and even a nutritional segment. For those who really want to focus on their abs, this DVD is a great bargain for the price. --A.T. Hurley
