Summary: Warning: Equipment needed!
Comment: For people who have the equipment and the physique necessary to complete these exercises as prescribed, they might work. Here are the obstacles that arose for me (age 56, abdominal muscles injured during pregnancies, overweight, former gymnast):
In the VERY FIRST workout grouping, called the "break-in" workout, there were two problems:
First, you're supposed to do a "slow sit-up." I just plain am not able to do this. The authors state in their instructions for the "slow sit-up" that "having to use momentum to get your body going is an indication of an abdominal weakness that needs to be corrected." Huh? Corrected how? Surgically? If the "slow sit-up" is nearly the first exercise in the regimen, how are we supposed to correct the weakness?
Second, you need a Swiss ball. That isn't SO bad, but could be a barrier for some people.
Then, in the second "break-in" workout, you are supposed to do an exercise while dangling from gym equipment. Well, I belong to a gym, and it DOESN'T HAVE that type of equipment! I can't get to the gym very often, because it is not nearby and so forth, but even so -- the equipment is not available! What if I lived in Montana or somewhere? No gyms in the vast mountainlands. . .
The main model used in this book looks as though she just walked in from a Scandianavian brothel. This is a weird book, and is not for everyone. It seems not to be for me, and despite my physical challenges described above, I do lap swimming and other weight workouts.

Summary: Easy to follow Ab routine!
Comment: I just bought this book, and it is very easy to read and understand. Each exercise is simpily explained, and shown in helpful photographs. At the end of the book there are a bunch of different workout plans to follow, from basic "break-in" workouts to more challenging ones. I'm excited to get started!

Summary: Great exercises, clear, easy to read
Comment: This is a really great book. The exercises are killer and there's a whole section on fitness balls (they call them Swiss balls in the book), which are really fun to use. I also liked the fact that they give you lower back exercises, too. Also, it's not too stupidly expensive, like some of the other workout books out there. I give it thumbs up.
