Rating: - Fantastic
This is a terrific workout and worth purchasing!! In 25 minutes, Ana will give you an amazing workout.
There are a few exercises I am not yet strong enough to do. But Tara demonstrates the modified poses which helps a lot.
All of the abdominal muscles are worked here. Even those ellusive lower abs. The day after I first did the DVD, I was amazed to feel tightness deep in my core.
Great stuff!
Rating: - Ana Caban is a pilates GODDESS!
This is a VERY challening pilates routine. While Caban doesn't add any new exercises to target the abs, she does focus on those traditional mat exercises that are the most ab intensive. She also does more reps on some of them. For example, the Series of 5 (which consists of the Single Leg Stretch, Double Leg Stretch, Single Straight Leg Stretch, Double Straight Leg Stretch, and Criss-Cross) is normally done with 5-8 reps per exercise. Caban does 10 (and she does them SLOWLY! particularly the Double Straight Leg Stretch and Criss-Cross). She also does open/closed leg rocker 5 times each (I ... Read More
Rating: - Challenging - in a good way
As a former professional dancer and someone who stuggles to find "quality" ways to stay in shape (rather than something like a mind-numbing running machine), I was thrilled to get this dvd. I don't do this every day but integrate it with my work out a couple times a week; it's a great tool and a step-up from the Winsor Pilates ab dvd I used for a few years. If you want something challenging to work up to - get this dvd. (Her program is about 26 min long, but that includes a 3 minute verbal intro that you can fast forward through after you watch it once.)

I started pilates with Ana Caban, and I won't do anyones else's workout! It's fun, and this particular workout is really hard. But, you feel stronger when you're done.
Rating: - Really challenging
I started doing Pilates about 2 months ago, and I love it. I began with Ana Caban's Pilates Quick Start for weight loss. I really liked it, and so I decided to try her Pilates for Abs. It was very challenging! It was definitely harder than the Quick Start for Weight Loss, and it is not for the faint of heart. She does many traditional pilates abs workouts, but adds a twist. She does the harder version, and her assistant, Tara, does the easy version.
Also, beware of the "once more". Ana will say "Once more" and she does not mean one more. There may be 2 more sets after she says that. ... Read More
