What is it?
A half-hour workout targeted for the abs. It includes both standing and floor work. Catherine Chiarelli is the instructor.
Who is it for?
Advanced beginning exercisers. It's not too hard, but it's not that easy, either. You'll need a mat for the floor exercises.
What to expect:
There are dozens and dozens of ab workout DVDs and videos out there. Lots of them are effective. Not that many of them are fun, and Fat Burning Ab Attack is one of them. The peppy Catherine Chiarelli offers up a high-energy workout that gets you moving right away. The 19-minute standing segment is a little dancey. The creative moves will make you work your lower body and sweat a little while going for your abs as the main course. By the time you're done with this part of the workout, you're ready to hit the floor and power through the crunch variations that Chiarelli gives you. By the end of the DVD you're abs are burning and you're in a cheerful mood — can you think of another DVD that can do that for you?
