Regular abdominal exercises--coupled with a nutritious diet--are essential for toning your stomach and attaining six-pack abs. For some, these exercises might be more convenient and comfortable to perform in the home rather than a public gym. For that reason, several abdominal exercise DVDs and videos online are worth trying.
THE KATHY SMITH TUMMY TRIMMER
10 MINUTE SOLUTIONS: TUMMY TONERS
This DVD also provides five tummy-toning workouts of 10 minutes each. Recommended for intermediate exercisers, you can split this video into segments or do all five workouts at once. The segments are crunch-free abs, yoga abs, bikini belly, ab and waist definer, and sexy sporty abs. No equipment is required.
Mylrea's spunky personality and high energy level make this DVD challenging and fun. This 43-minute DVD includes three distinct segments: medicine ball training, stability ball training and floor exercises. Recommended for advanced fitness levels, it requires a 2 to 4 lb. medicine ball and a stability ball.
DENISE AUSTIN'S BEST BELLY FAT BLASTERS
This customizable DVD allows you to perform the seven workout segments at once or in any order you choose. Totaling 69 minutes, this ab-workout DVD is challenging, but basic enough for beginners, according to CollageVideo.com. Austin's encouraging personality helps motivate you to keep going. A stability ball is required for one segment.
Another 10 Minute Solution in the DVD series, this video provides five 10 minute sections of abdominal workouts. You will burn about 40 calories per 10-minute session. From Pilates-inspired exercises to basic crunches, reviewers at Fitness magazine love the variety it provides. No equipment required.
This DVD caters to those who would rather dance than work out. With 37 minutes of movement, Marie Forleo combines a variety of Latin-inspired sambas, funk, the basic grapevine and some floor exercises. Though low-impact, this DVD is at the intermediate fitness level.
This DVD is no-nonsense and straight forward. Fitness professional Gay Gasper leads home viewers in a 40-minute effective ab routine. She shows modifications for beginners and advanced fitness levels. It also includes a bonus 10-minute fast track ab workout. No equipment required.
This 59-minute, fast-paced dance workout targets your abs to a soundtrack of fun pop music. This DVD doesn't have any floorwork. You will tone your midsection using fluid dance movements such as hip swings and pelvic tilts and end with stationary toning exercises. For the intermediate fitness level.
A combo of three DVDs and five workouts, this DVD kit is more expensive, yet it includes a tape measure and a rubber tubing system called the Accelerator. Two 21-minute DVDs and one 47-minute DVD are full of innovative, challenging core exercises.
Though challenging and innovative, this DVD requires a lot of equipment: a stability ball, a medicine ball, a partner, and ankle and wrist weights. If you have the equipment necessary, Cathe's Ab Circuits will provide a challenging, effective ab workout in six segments ranging from 10 to 15 minutes each.
