I like and use them both. The abs DVD is compilations from many of Cathe's older workouts that had ab sections. I like this DVD because there is a lot of variation and I have some favorites on there. (There are several that use planks, which I like.) You can do all kinds of variations and as many as you want. Core max on the other hand, incorporates the medicine ball and stability ball so it's completely different ab work then what's on the other DVD. There are three different workouts each about 20 minutes. The first workout doesn't use any equipment.
Do you have equipment? Do you like traditional ab work? What are you looking for? Honestly I use them both so I find it difficult to pick one over the other. If you don't have a stability ball or medicine ball and don't plan on purchasing either, then I'd get the Abs workout. Do you own other Cathe workouts that have ab work like ME or Muscle Max or any of the others?
Get both!

Core Max kicks butt.
I do a lot of pilates workouts for core work also--MTV Mix & Ana Caban's Pilates for Abs are my two favorites--but nothing so far compares to CM, it's the only one that has me sore for at least 2 days after I do it.
I'd also be interested if anyone has other recommendations............

Do you think Core Max and Ab Hits are good for building/ maintaining a six pack? I have both, but never thought about it.
thanks,

I bought core max about 3 weeks ago and I love it. The only part I can't do is the pikes on the ball, I don't think I'm coordinated enough I just do the modification.
I really did expect to be sore afterwards, but I wasn't. However 3 weeks into it and I can definately feel the difference in all my opther excercises and day to day life. And my pants are looser, and the fluffy parts of me aren't so fluffy. I use it every day, but I'm an everday abs person. I do one section a day then go thru the 3 premixes in order, so I start over every six days. Since I take 1`day a week off, it fits perfectly, and I'm not doing the same routine over and over. I'd definatley recommend it. The only thing I don't have is the medicine ball, but I just use an 8 lb dumbell, not real comfortable trying to hold it between my knees, but it works. Now if I can just figure out the pikes....
