Jessica Smith's 10 Pounds Down: Cardio Abs DVD Review

Jessica Smith's 10 Pounds Down: Cardio Abs DVD was sent to me by Collage Video to review.  Collage video is a terrific source for all your workout video needs.  They have great reviews on their site and the customer service is top notch.  I have always had an excellent experience when I order from them.  I have done the workouts on this DVD a few times now.  I am already a fan of Jessica Smith.  She is a no nonsense instructor that does a wonderful job with giving the instructions.  She is easy to follow and quite effective. 

The secret to great abs isn't doing a lot of crunches.  It is combining calorie burning cardio, metabolism boosting strength training and targeted ab moves in addition with a proper diet.  This complete workout program is a terrific abs exercise plan.  There is even a bonus eating for abs guide included.  The DVD includes instructions on how to download the eating guide to ensure you get the results you are working for.

Cardio Abs:  This is a non stop kickboxing inspired routine that will have you punching, twisting and sweating away the calories while working those abs.

Total Body Abs Transformer:  This is a total body strength and cardio interval workout that uses a set of heavy dumbbells.  I use 5 pounds but I just ordered a set of 8 pound dumbbells, so I can work up to those.  You also use a mat to build metabolically active lean muscle mass so you can burn fat all day long.

Concentrated Abs:  This is an abs focused routine that combines both standing and floor work to target your waistline from every possible angle.

Bonus Workout: Tummy Torching Tabata:  I am really a fan of Tabata interval training.  It is super effective and a fast way to torch fat and calories in a minimal amount of time.  This 4 minute, maximum intensity interval routine is a big finish after a workout or it can be done by itself on those days when you just don't have time for more.
