Summary: Good workout in my opinion
Comment: I like the Rodney Yee workout tapes. This one focuses on the abdominals. I find that the hardest part for me is laying down while lowering and raising straight legs. This is done several times during this video. I find his tapes flow well and very user friendly. This is designed for beginners.

Summary: Funny yet good
Comment: Ok so we did this workout video in PE one day, and I thought it was SUPER strange. First of all the guy is half naked in the middle of the desert, and then you got these wierd movements that he does, and then this wierd sounding narrator that says 'exhale' like he's retarded.
But here's how the video goes:
In the VERY beginning of the video you just kinda lay there watching 500 precautions go across the screen. Then after listening to people say all these wierd yoga words for 10 minutes, the workout begins.
In the beginning you just kinda sit there and the half-naked yoga guy says all this wierd stuff that relaxes you.
Then you move onto the actual workout portion, which isnt long, like 10-15 minutes. The workout part was actually pretty good for toning my abs.
After that you lay on the ground for 3 minutes positioned as if you fell off a building.
Overall I would suggest buying this video, because its short, and perfect for a busy schedule.

Summary: Good AB Workout
Comment: When I first did this video I thought this isn't doing anything. I don't feel like I'm working out at all...then the next day my ABs were sore (in a good way)! I was surprised such a low impact workout could work so well.

Summary: Excellent ab routine
Comment: Excellent workout but too hard for many beginners. When I fist started yoga I found some of the poses too taxing for my back (so I skipped or modified them). Now that I have gotten stronger I really like this workout. It starts easy and gets more difficult. If you do what you can you will make progress and be able to do more.
Definitely heed the warnings of other reviewers: if you have lower back problems be very careful and modify some of the poses.
If you are a beginner and have not done other ab exercises before you might find this video very challenging. If you have some ab strength already this will take it to the next level.

Summary: Great relaxing workout
Comment: This tape is phenomenal. I never thought I could find an ab workout relaxing, but that's exactly what this tape offers. There's a strong focus on breathing and some of the new age things you come to expect with yoga, but it definately provides a great ab workout in a short amount of time. Yee's voice is soothing and he's very discriptive about what he's doing so it's easy to follow along. There are no insane poses that are impossible for beginners. I have problems with my lower back, but I have no difficulties at all doing any of these poses. You have options other than the boring standard crunches and situps and it's wonderfully refreshing.
If you're a little more advanced, this may not be the best tape for you, but if you're just starting out or if you're looking for something specifically for your abs to ad to your program, this is great. I found that I can do my more rigorous tapes during the day and do this just before bed.
If you're limited on time and would like to do some type of exercise at night, but don't want to get too wound up that you can't sleep, this is a great tape for you. It's short. It does what it promises and it's relaxing.
