Lifestyle fitness consultant Jessica Smith is the instructor for this comprehensive workout that aims to maximize fat burning while focusing on flattening and firming the tummy. Incorporating light weights and mat work, The Abs Diet for Women Workout features two abs workouts targeting all five regions of the abs (with moves such as traditional crunches, figure eight crunches, back extensions, speed rotations, and wood chops), as well as a cardio interval workout (including jack squat and knee strikes), and a total body strength segment (consisting of squats, lifts, lunges, and pushups with T-hold modifications). Bookended with warm-up and Pilates/yoga cool-down exercises, the program also has two participants demonstrating beginner and advanced variations of the workouts. DVD extras include “The Abs Diet Eating Plan” featurette, which briefly covers healthy dietary guidelines (including one anything-you-want meal a week!). Recommended. Aud: P. (J. Williams-Wood)
