Kelly Coffey-Meyer Abs & Core - Thoughts

Abs & Core is a compilation workout by Kelly Coffey-Meyer.  Kelly pulled six ab/core workouts from her 30-Minute To Fitness series workouts to give you a well rounded in-depth core and ab workout.  There are standing segments and floor segments.

I did these workouts as add-on workouts; and I didn't remember doing any of the segments when I did the original workouts they came from.  So I think this was my first time doing all of these segments.

The DVD offers the following menu options:
Mix One (33 min consist of Kickboxing, Muscle Up, & Circuit Burn)
Mix Two (32 min consist of Home Gym Intervals, Muscle Definition, Weights)

The Kickboxing ab segment is primarily standing but there is floor work towards the end. Kelly does side bends as a transition move between exercises. The moves are kickboxing focus. For example several of the moves has you throwing punches. There are also some knee pulls.

The Circuit Burn ab segment is the shortest segment and it is just Kelly.  Standard crunches, knee crunches, leg lifts, Turkish sit ups and bicycles are some of the exercises in the segment. This is all floor.

Muscle Up ab workout is done Tabata style.  You are doing each exercise 30 seconds on and 10 seconds off for 4 rounds. Sit reaches, extended planks, full sit ups into reverse pike, frog leg crunches, and plank sit outs are the exercises that appear in Muscle Up.

Home Gym Intervals is a mostly standing workout, but plank work is included.. Kelly is the only cast member in the segment. This ab workout has a kickboxing emphasis with leg kicks and knee pulls.

Muscle Definition is your old school ab workout. It is floor based and does include plank work.  There are lots of reps in the workouts. Several exercises had 50 reps.

Weights is also floor based.  This workout included traditional and functional exercises. The thing with this workout is that you are doing each exercise for 2 minutes - which amounts to another workout with lots of reps.

My favorite segments Muscle Up, Home Gym Intervals, and Muscle Definition.
