User Ratings and Reviews
2 Stars Strange and not structured
I do a lot of yoga, so I thought I would really like Shiva Rea’s ab workout; I didn’t. It doesn’t have much structure at all and at the end of the ab segments she just tells you to basically do whatever you want. The production quality is beautiful and the music is great – I just wish it was slightly more traditional.
5 Stars Good change of pace
Unless you’ve been living in a cave you’ve heard that exercisers need to change up their routine every now and then to get continual results. This DVD definitely does that. I have tried various Abs DVDs that claim they really beat your Abs down, but after awhile I found that most overlapped on quite a few exercises. This DVD though is very new and creative and works your Abs in a different way. I agree with another reviewer that it’s nice to use your whole body to work your core. I like the water workout the best.
5 Stars Shiva rea- Core abs
Easy to follow , none of the moves too challenging yet it really provides a solid core workout in a reasonable amount of time.
1 Star a little disappointing…
Like some other reviewers, I found this workout to be a little weird. It lacked instructions, which is what I was expecting when I purchased this DVD. The music can also get irritating after a while. I assume it would be great for creative types, but then again, if one were creative enough to do their own yoga/ab workout, one wouldn’t need to purchase a DVD for such a workout, right? Anyways, I did all three parts and didn’t feel much afterwards. I have been practicing yoga for about a year so I am familiar with most poses, yet in this DVD not many yoga poses were used (just planks and the like).
I feel so disappointed I wish that I could return this DVD, but obviously cannot anymore.
5 Stars Shiva Rea is a cool cucumber!
Shiva Rea takes is very unconventional when she takes you on a journey to your core. She talks about more than just muscle and twists–she talks about where your power derives from and how to harness it and be creative with in it. If you are tired of crunches and sit-ups you will enjoy this video! She is very creative and you can go as fast or as slow as you need. I feel very strong (in my abs)since I have added this DVD in my rotation.
