[.ca] New Method 20/20 Series: Precision Abs (Full Screen)

Precision Abs:
I really enjoy this DVD. I can feel my lower back and abs working, which is encouraging. However, this workout can be overwhelming at first because little explanation is given during either workout. I recommend watching the workouts before actually trying any of the exercises.

Misleading title:
When I bought the DVD "Precision Abs" I thought the workout would concentrate on excercises for the abdominal muscles. However most of the time is spent with ballet- and pilates-like stretching (mostly for the legs) and some posture and breathing exercises which have only marginal effects on the abdominal muscles. It is probably OK if you want to improve flexibility and posture, but not if you need some concentrated abs workout. After trying some videos, I think the thing to do is get a good book on abdominal exercises, learn the proven routines, get some weights and resitance bands and do the boring reps each day with increasing resistance and number of repititions. Sigh.

Gets right to the point:
Precision abs gets right to business using Yoga and Pilates moves with some ballet also. The background music fits to right into the Yoga attitude. I was impressed since I'm one that loses interest if the workout repeats too much or lacks challenge or is WAY, WAY, too long. This workout cuts to the chase and doesn't become boring.
