Flirty Girl Fitness 3 DVD Set + Meal Plan. Includes 4 Workouts: CHAIR DANCE, BOOTY BEAT, VIDEO VIXEN, SEXY STRETCH. Be Flirty, Fit and FabulousI don't see why everyone is hatin' on the Flirty Girl Fitness collection of dvds.

A) It does as promises, gives you firm, shapely curves, during a workout that is fun enough to keep you interested, moving, and sweating.

Apart from Video Vixen, each DVD varies enough to keep it fun,

AND YOU FEEL SEXY THE ENTIRE TIME!

I don't know if that matters to anyone else, but it matters to me. I want to feel great on my way to looking great. Half the battle is getting motivated, and these DVDS do not drag on, so I maintain interest.

I do recommend, and even if it may be a little slutty, and some of the workouts unnecessary (Chair Dance) Booty Beat, Abs + Booty, and Chair Fit are all excellent fitness videos.

BELIEVE the hype, and ignore all the hatred. They are great fitness DVDS!

Mind-Body-Health ABS Conditioning (2004) Review

Mind-Body-Health ABS ConditioningThis DVD contains three challenging abs workouts using three different techniques:yoga, balance ball, and Pilates.

Abs Yoga for Beginners is led by Rodney Yee, and it is appropriate for someone with no prior yoga experience.The workout begins in a seated position and focuses on breathing, then moves on to hands and knees for a back stretch (cat pose). The main part of the practice is performed lying on your back, with moves such as simple yet challenging leg extensions and twists to target the abdominal area. After a quick rise to a standing position, the workout returns to the floor to end with lying relaxation poses. Although the moves become gradually more difficult, this workout would be doable to most beginning exercisers.This is a relatively gentle way to work your abs and build core strength in just over 20 minutes.

Balance Ball Abs is led by Suzanne Deason.It's more challenging than Abs Yoga, and it includes some Pilates-like moves using the stability ball.The workout begins with some basic twists and crunch movements both sitting and lying on top of the ball. You then move to the floor on your back, placing the ball between your legs for a toe tap series both with and without arm movements; next is rolling up from a lying position and doing a twist while in a seated stradle position. You will then lie on top of the ball, face down, for a series of tough moves in a plank position. In the final segment, you again return to lying on the floor on your back, this time placing the ball between your feet for some moves which concentrate on the lower abs area.Suzanne ends the routine with a few minutes of nice back and side stretches over the ball for a total workout time of 26 minutes (not including the instruction/warm-up).

Ana Caban's Pilates Abs is a more challenging workout, and it is geared to those who already have prior Pilates experience.It consists entirely of floor work and begins immediately with the hundred exercise. Ana then moves through a traditional matwork sequence, including moves such as the roll-up, the roll-over, rolling like a ball, the series of five, and the teaser. For many of the moves, Ana adds a more challenging twist--eg, performing several of the series of five exercises with no arms, doing the open-legged rocker with closed legs as well, etc. Because this is an abs-focused workout, the Pilates side kick series and back extension moves are not included. Ana ends the workout with a unique combination move which is a compilation of rolling like a ball, open-legged rocker, the teaser, and lowering down a rope; she then ends with a few brief stretches to bring the workout in at just under 24 minutes. Although Ana does work out with an assistant, Tara, who shows modifications for some of the movements.

Yee, Deason, and Caban are all excellent instructors, and each lead using voiceover.This DVD would be perfect for those who don't like traditional crunches but still want to get great workouts for their abdominals.

Kathy Smith - Ultimate Pilates (Abs / Lower Body) (2002) Review

Kathy Smith - Ultimate PilatesThis DVD set is a combination of the Pilates for Abs and Pilates for Lower Body workouts. The two workouts are packaged together in this set.
Kathy Smith's Pilates for Abs workout is a challenging workout for the abdominals. This DVD is great for both beginning and more advanced work outs.
The Pilates philosophy is all about perfect repetitions every time, so you're not going to be doing sit-ups for the entire workout. The movements are isometric and difficult if you maintain correct postures. This workout focuses on the shoulders, ribs, abs, and engaging your hamstrings.
Kathy has Leah working out with her, and Leah demonstrates more advanced versions of the movements when you are ready to move up to that level. This feature will keep you using this DVD over time.
While the workout only runs 20 minutes, I find it a great complement to an existing routine of cardio and light weights. I combine this workout with a 30-minute cardio segment for a well-rounded day.
The Pilates for Lower Body workout runs a little longer. It has a 6-minute warmup and a 25 minute workout. It is just as challenging as the Pilates for Abs workout.
This is a great combination of workouts! A must-have for Pilates enthusiasts!

Prevention Fitness Systems: The Abs Advantage With Chris Freytag Review

Prevention Fitness Systems: The Abs Advantage With Chris FreytagAbdominals are a hard area to tone, but if you do regular cardio and follow a great workout like this, then you'll see results fairly soon.
Chris Freytag leads this workout again (she's done most of their other ones) and she's a good instructor.She's friendly and down to earth and I find that motivating.There are four segments here.One is on a stability ball, pilates, core work and regular classic crunches.Each segment is between 8-9 minutes long so it's a good length of time, without straining or tiring easily.No angle is left out here.Abs are worked from all angles.I like the fact that you can do all of the workouts or some or one.Basically the only piece of equipment you need is a stability ball, and trust me - do this about 5 days a week and you will get good results.

Perfect in Ten: Pilates, 10-minute Workouts (2006) Review

Perfect in Ten: Pilates, 10-minute WorkoutsI really like this DVD.....I'm very impressed with Annette; she's an excellent instructor and she's extremely bright and strong. She is not interested in being overbearing or condescending. She keeps the workout moving along without any chatty filler or ridiculous personal remarks. (Other instructors could learn from this)

The DVD includes a good variety of exercises and targets all areas of the body.. It's an "all around" perfect workout. It is pretty much like any studio workout I've had, except, without all the mess and stink of having someone too close on a mat next to you....or the miserable attitude of an instructor who's having a bad day......

I highly recommend this DVD and all of Annette's exercise DVDs. She does a great job.

Quick Fix - Pilates ABS Workout Review

Quick Fix - Pilates ABS WorkoutQuick 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.

Pilates Core Power - Abdominals & Back Review

Pilates Core Power - Abdominals and BackI have the VHS version of this video, which was originally packaged under the name "Body Reform:Abdominals and Back." This 44-minute, all-floor routine is a blend of Pilates, yoga, and traditional abs and back work. You'll find many classic Pilates moves such as the hundred and single leg circles, but many of the exercises are done with a twist--eg, modified corkscrew and modified teasers. Similarly, instructor Karen Voight incoporates movement into traditionally static yoga poses such as bridge and boat pose, and finally, she includes some traditional crunches and back work. The result is a smooth, flowing routine that will leave your entire body feeling thoroughly stretched and relaxed.

Although this workout is somewhat similar to the abs portion of Karen's Streamline Fitness video, it is more relaxing and less intense. However, during the last 8 minutes of the tape, Karen offers suggestions on how to incorporate her resist-a-ring (or other Pilates/fitness circle) into the routine, which would definitely make it a more challenging workout. Karen is a great instructor who is warm and friendly while still providing excellent cuing and precise instructions on allignment. She works with an assistant, Sara, who displays more advanced versions of the exercises for those wanting a greater challenge. I use this workout regularly, and I highly recommend it to others of all fitness levels.
