Pros

* Very well-rounded abdominal work. DOMS practically guaranteed

* Unique moves from the ab work moves in the other DVDs, including Komodo Dragon, Downward Dog, Twisting with Weight, Hard Core Floor Work segment, etc.

* Timer and alert to upcoming moves.

* Easy to combine with other Obsidian DVDs - I'd probably combine it with one of the shorter 30-minute DVDs, like Upper or Lower Body.

Cons

* For those who want more sliding, you can add in sliding intervals.

* The Hard Core Floor Work segment had a bit of a frantic pace to it.

* I tend to need more stretching after doing ab work, so I repeated the cool down moves and held the poses for longer.

Instructor Review

* Pleasant, no nonsense instructor style.
