Quick Fix Pilates Abs is an excellent exercise video for targeting not only your abdominal area, but also your entire midsection, or "core."The tape consists of three 10-minute ab programs which become progressively more difficult.Instructor Keli Roberts jumps right into the workout, offering good form pointers but not much detailed instruction.Therefore, prior familiarity with Pilates is a must for this workout, especially given that there are several challenging, intermediate/advanced level Pilates moves included (some modifications are shown).Program 1 contains a classic Pilates matwork sequence, although the exercises are not performed in the traditional order.Keli alternates more accessible, beginner's level Pilates moves such as leg circles and the hundred with more challenging moves such as the shoulder bridge, the rollover, and modified teasers.In Program 2, there is a greater focus on obliques, beginning with the can-can and then moving through most of the exercises in the Pilates "stomach series," including single and double leg stretch, scissors, and criss-cross.This program also includes moves to work your back such as swimming and back extensions.The third program is the toughest by far, and it includes some quite challenging moves.This section begins with two sets of push-up and then continues with plank work both from a push-up position and from an elbows down position.This is also the only section which includes exercises from the Pilates side kicks series; these exercises really work not only your abdominals, but also your outer thigh/hip area.
It's important to note that there are no warmups/cool-downs included in this workout:each program is a full 10 minutes of intense toning work.This would be a very good video for anyone who enjoys Pilates and wants to some very different, concentrated Pilates routines.
