Taebo Ultimate Abs.  It's 55 minutes long and it's a killer.  I have it with Ultimate Butt.  Same amount of time and killer as well.  I made the mistake of doing one right after the other one night.  NEVER AGAIN!  My butt, thighs and abs killed for two day!  AWESOME workout though!

I have Crunch Fat Burning Dance Party.  It's a 30 minute video of dance-type aerobics.  There are 3 different dance sections and the last one is hip hop.  She would probably like that.  Crunch also has a newer one Crunch Cardio Dance Blast.  I haven't tried that one, but the description says it's 37 minutes with 6 different dance combos.\n\nShe might also like Quick Fix: Cardio Hip Hop with Juliane Arney.

There is no exercise that will give you a six pack fast.\n\nFirst and foremost, stay away from any ab machine you see on TV as they are simply a waste of money and barely effective.  \n\nThe abdominal muscles work just like any other muscle and have to be challenged as such. If you want muscular abdominals, you have to challenge them with resistance and good form just like you would your chest, your back or any other muscle for that matter. Targeting the correct energy system is imperative. This means you should never enter into the aerobic phase of this exercise, ideally keeping it under 2 minutes at most. \n\nThink of rolling a carpet and contracting fully on the top of the movement and squeeze. If you do them correctly, you shouldn't be able to do more than 30 crunches. Any more than that, and you're probably doing them half-azz, incorrectly or with a partial range of motion.\n\nFor the upper abs, focus on crunches which effectively work the abdominals better than sit-ups or any machine on the market.\n\nFor the lower abs, keep in mind there is very little muscle tissue there so decreasing levels of body fat is the most effective way to bring out the best in this area. Hanging leg raises, v-situps and reverse curls are among some of the best exercise for this region. Always make sure your pelvis curls up to maximize lower abdominal contraction during these exercises.\n\nAs far as fat loss and getting ripped goes, cardio, cardio, cardio. Abdominal exercises alone will never burn fat from your abdominal area.  You must do cardiovascular exercise to accomplish this.  Cardio is best in the morning, on an empty stomach at about 70-80% of your maximum heart rate for about 30-45 minutes. This combined with a common sense diet will quickly shed body fat so you can actually see those abs you've developed. \n\nI would encourage you to seek the advice and guidance of a personal trainer in your area for further education on these principles. Please ensure you start off at a very basic level for crunches and cardio if you are a beginner.\n\nHere's a good list of ab exercises:\nhttp://preventdisease.com/fitness/Strength_Exercises_abdominals.html

I used to have a stubborn tummy that refused to go away, and a very weak back... my spine grew slightly twisted. I now have beautiful abs and a powerful core, thanks to Joyce Vedral's ab exercises. I'll be doing these for the rest of my life. \nYou can check out her website at www.joycevedral.com. She finally came out with exercise videos and dvds, I find them much more convenient than her books. Good luck!

Do variations of ab workouts, not just crunches. Include a good work-out regime and suck in your stomach and stand tall.

I've gotten some of those from Suncoast Video.  I don't know if you have those in your area.  Also, I don't know if you subscribe to cable tv or which company you have, but if you have comcast (and get digital) they have On Demand and there are LOTS of different exercise programs to view including walking, cardio, pilates, yoga, stretching, toning, kickboxing, even exotic -- all for free.

ab workouts roman chair situps and leg lifts are the best ab developing workouts you can work abs twice a week since they are a slowtwitch muscle fiber and heal faster.  Abs shouldn't be done daily with 100 crunches this and 100 of that abs are not a cardio.  you have to lower your overall bodyfat % to improve your abdomen.  Butt... lying leg curls revers lunges with dumbells and cardio 20-45min a day 3-4times a week.  Hip flexes too for butt.  kind of like doing a bridge on your back and humping the air on top of you flexin the cheeks lol... good for developing sex skills too lol.

lay on the floor and have someone stand over you with a foot by each of your shoulders.  Keep your legs straight and raise your feet up so that your legs are straight up and down.  Now have the person push your feet (kind of a throwing motion) back toward the floor quite forcefully.  You have to use your low abs to stop them from hitting the floor and then quickly bring them back up again.  Do this about 50 times a day and you will have awesome abs!!!  It really works

Hey, I would strongly recommend you to save your money and invest it in a abs book at barnes and noble or visit a public library.  The ab lounge is a waste of money because you can get same results by doing different abs workout such as regular crunches. By the way, there are many books out that will give you examples of working your abs.  I have been using men's health best abs book.

I really like planks. Also, a small ab wheel works wonders & you can get a good ab burn in a short time with it.\n\nA plank looks like a pushup, but you balance your upper body on your elbows and keep your feet together up on your toes...hold it as long as you can. You can even shift your weight from the right to left elbow & hit the obliques.

I don't have one but have used one in the past at the workout center at work about 5 years ago.  I liked it.  I will be honest and tell you I did not work out enough for it to be effective but done correctly you do feel it working your abs.  Hopefully someone who used one faithfully will give you more insight into whether they work well or not.

you should start a strength training program, including crunches as well as other ab exercises, someone at the gym could give you a routine, or they have tons of exercise videos to get you started.......
