 Hardest ab workout DVD I own Oct 16, 2009
By Leanne
I got this DVD when I ordered Cathe F.'s entire STS series -- and it is seriously the hardest ab DVD I have (out of about 125+ workout DVD's that I own). You definitely want to be a more intermediate or advanced exerciser for this one; if you're just starting out or want something a bit easier, then I'd recommend Cathe's Core Max, which is also great.
That being said, this is an amazing DVD that has a great variety of options. Just be warned that you will need some equipment if you plan on doing all seven workouts: a stability ball, a medicine ball, some ankle weights, and some Gliding Disks or Val Slides.
Great workouts from Cathe!

These exercises sneak up on you! Dec 11, 2010
By Nancy Loderick
"Internet strategist"
This DVD has 7 ab routines and is part of Cathe's Shock Training System (STS). When I used this DVD as part of my first STS rotation, I didn't like it because I didn't think any of the routines were as intense as some of Cathe's other ab workouts. Well, I have changed my mind!
I am doing a second round of STS and truly following my 1 rep max. I'm really focusing on good form and engaging my core with every weight routine. This makes all the difference in the world! As I now do these ab routines, I'm really feeling them.
The 7 ab routines:
*Yoga-inspired abs
*Pilates-inspired abs
*Weights and plates abs
*Stability ball abs
*No-equipment abs
*Medicine ball abs
*Medicine ball abs with a partner.
My favorite routines are the no-equipment and the weights and plates. They are the toughest routines on this DVD.
My least favorite was the yoga-inspired ab routine. I thought Cathe did way too many of the side planks in this one; I wished she had included some other yoga-based ab exercises.
I highly recommend this DVD for those wanting some tough ab workouts. With the different routines you will never get bored!

Great Ab workouts Sep 13, 2009
By V. Dawson
This is not a beginner workout. Cathe mixes it up and these are tough exercises. They get deep into your core muscles. She is a master at instruction.

Ab workout that works! Apr 14, 2010
By L. Pasternack
I have worked out my whole life--since the age of 8 or so, I am going on 45 and it is harder now for me to keep my abs the way I would like them. With the help of Cathe Friedrich's ab routines you will have the abs of a 20 year old. It does not take long to be able to do the entire routine. I saw her routine on Fit TV and kept doing it from my recorded version, it got old stopping to fast forward through the commercials... I have 2 of her DVDs I bought together, Core Max is my favorite of the 2 DVDs, even though this one is awesome as well. No excuses ladies--or men, I had a total hysterectomy a few years ago with the huge cut across my lower abs and also have chronic pain and fibromyalgia. If I can do it, you can too!

 great ab workout Feb 18, 2011
By sonali purewal
this work out is excellent for abs... you will really feel tight around the tummy after doing this. what i like is that you can do 40 mins of abs only combining 2 workouts of yoga + pilates .. or weights + balance ball. There are 6- 7 choices of different workouts (ALL ABS) which you can combine to suit your routine, making it interesting.
my only critique of the dvd (not so much the workout) would be
1. the menu, must have music off option, so that you can exercise with your own music.. i like listening to rap & the background music in most workout dvds is quite monotonous.
2. there must be a timer in the screen, helps to know how much of the workout is left to do.
