The last DVD of the Dance and Be Fit video series, Abs Burn ($15), targets your middle without a single crunch in the entire 50-minute running time of the video. The five-minute warm-up is followed by two 20-minute core-sculpting workouts. The first focuses on floor and standing exercises that strengthen and tone your abs and back muscles. Some exercises are pretty basic, like elbow plank , but the instructor builds up to some very unique fluid dance moves like hip pops and turns to add a little variety. All the moves isolate the core muscles, but you also end up working your shoulders, legs, and booty. The moves are a little repetitive, so I found myself

looking at the clock, wondering when we’d get to the second section – not a good sign. The second 20-minute workout begins with some more floor exercises that were very Pilates-like, but there weren’t enough repetitions, so I found myself straying from the video and doing my own thing – another bad sign. Overall, I felt like other ab videos I’ve done have been more effective, such as Body Target – Abs and Shiva Rea – Creative Core Abs . Feel free to make your own decision though.
