10 Pounds Down: Cardio Abs with Jessica Smith

i bought this after FINALLY getting back into doing exercise since doing absoluteley nothing for over 3 years. The first time I did the 1st 2 workouts I could not move for the next 2 days. The first time I did the 3rd work out, I had to miss most of the exercises as I couldn't do them - it's full of different sit ups.HOWEVER - almost 3 months later I think it's the best thing I could have done! I feel a lot better in myself for doing this. Although I'm not yet 10 pounds down I feel slimmer than I was and more full of energy. I can do the whole dvd without pausing it for a break or to say WHAT??? when struggling to follow the routine. I do struggle with the Tabata some days but I'm sure I'll get there soon!Jessica Smith comes accross as really happy, friendly and enthusiatic. She's really encouraging and gives you different choices for amny of the exercises - low impact or high impact or GIMME SOME POWER! (I'm not at that one yet!) If you need easing in gently I think this is the perfect dvd with the perfect instructor.

GoodI've just watched the DVD and I have to say that Jillian is losing points. I like Jillian but I just LOVE Jessica. This work out looks cool. I can’t wait to do it. There is same jumping in it, so you may wake up your neighbours. The Cardio abs is cardio kick boxing. I am not new to kick boxing, so for me it looked OK. If you are a beginner to kick boxing start with this DVD Weight Loss Cardio Kick [DVD] with Violet Zaki. It is very easy to follow and for me it’s the best to begin with.Anyway, the whole DVD looks just great. I already have 10 Min solution DVDs with Jessica and are very good, but this one is the best together with Total body balance. The only down is that you can’t customize the workouts, but who cares as long as the work out it’s great.5 stars and recommended.

Jessica Smith is quiet, unassuming ,doesn't bark, growl or shout ,"come on faster harder" etc However, do not be fooled as her workouts are very intense but moreover effective too. Cardio abs is a fast fun aerobic workout which doesn't last forever, as she saysbut gets the abs going and the heart racing. Total abs transformer really works every body part! Heart pumps with 8 to 10llb weights for more seasoned exercisers! Concentrated abs is more what you would expect from the title and just when you think you have done she includes tummy torching Tabata just 4 minutes but really lets you know you have worked out. As someone who has done Shaun t's Insanity and various other 'hard' methods I love this gentle softly spoken approach and think she is a brilliant trainer. I love the DVD and would highly recommend it

I am a seasoned exerciser and do workouts by the likes of Jillian Michaels, Davina, Shaun T Insanity and T25. I like to feel that I've worked hard and loved to be pushed hard. This workout definitely works you hard! It starts off straight away and she wastes no time in between exercises. It was quite hard, so much so, that I couldn't wait for it to end! But in a good way. You see definition in the abs straightaway and that was only after one of the workouts. There are three workouts and small tabata type workout of 4 minutes which was quite good. I would have liked to have seen more people working out with her as it did seem a bit boring just with her but only IMO. Buy this if you want a decent abs workout!

I purchased Jessica's DVD over a year ago and I love it. If you rely on DVDs for your fitness it important to have variety so you stay motivated. Its refreshing to see someone on their own and she does it well. If I am short on time I do Cardio Abs and I always feel like I have had a good work out. When I have time and want to be challenged I do all three workouts and that leaves me drenched and I can feel my abs for days later. I tend to combine Cardio Abs with one of the other work outs and this gives me a good work out. Personally I like Jessica's style and find her very likeable.

I wouldn't usually workout to another trainer other than bob harper or Jillian Michaels. But as an alternative workout session. This DVD is really good. The concentrated abs session really homes in on your core. The 4 minute tabata workout us a sweat busting killer. As a fitness guru. This is great if u want to mix cardio with an abs workout

Absolutely love this DVD. As the name suggests there's a lot of cardio work involved that is great for working the abs, but you're also working the whole body in these routines. Even for someone who's pretty fit, they are a really good workout, and Jessica always gives low impact versions of the exercises. I'm also loving the tabata bonus section at the end. Highly recommend for some fat-busting, cardio-working fitness!

Very good DVD. Sofe of the exercises are a bit hard for me (recovering from an operation) but looking forward to being well enough to complete all.
