Abs

[FitnessFanatic]

I'm a glutton for punishment, I know, but I'm actually looking for the Cathe tape that has the hardest Abs segment. The old stand-bys have gotten ... old. I need Cathe to kick my abs to the next level.

I like some of her newer ones, because they incorporate planks, and core stabilization. Circuit Max has a really good ab section, so does Power Hour(currently my favorite strength tape). HTH!!!

I think MIS has a tough and thorough abs section.

I agree, the ab section from MIS is very good. I also find any of her ab workouts from the CTX are also excellent, especially the ab workout at the end of CTX Kickbox.

And don't forget about the ab section from Body Max! That's a killer also!

Power Hour has a tough ab segment (those planks... !) and I agree that MIS is tough too. Especially when you add pec flies and chin-ups to the crunches... wow! The oblique work in S/H Chest & Back is hard too. Expecially the move where you lie on your side, and bring your legs up to meet your hand. I always feel it in my obliques the next day, and also in my glutes - a bonus!

BodyMax

I still think BodyMax has some very tough and thorough abwork.

Also, the abwork in CTX is exceptional - the abs on the end of Leaner Legs is unsurpassed.

Have you had any luck with FIRM tapes? Their "More 5-Day Abs" is very good. At the end of their Cardio Step Mix is a 6.5min ab section that just demolishes me everytime.

Karen Voight has some great abwork, too - the 12min in StreamLine Fitness is very very challenging.

Keli Robert's Abs & More is very good.

I always have to put in a plug for an oldie-but-goodie, Kathy Smith's Ultimate Stomach & Thighs. Outstanding.

Good luck!

Currently, my two fave Cathe ab workouts are from CTX: from Power Circuit and Kickbox. They fry my abs because both use a combo of plank work and traditional ab work, so you get that good pre-exhaust effect, and then finish them off!

If I might add my .5 cents here...I love Christi Taylor's Hi/Lo Heaven ab section. You do reps, reps, and more reps with a few plank sections in-between. I also like Keli Robert's Straight-Up Sculpt ab section that includes planks with knees rising and lowering. My abs shake every time I do this one and I flop onto the floor when I'm done.

Happy abs!
