Advanced Core w/o question

[cher54]

Hi all! Just curious to see if anybody knows of any all advanced core w/o dvd's out there? I love Cathe's ab circuits, etc. but I'm getting a little bored with them and since there are no ab workouts in her new series, I'd like to round it out with some new core exercises. TIA!

Two of my favorites are Ab Ripper X and Jillian's 6 week/6 pack abs.

Thanks, JeanneMarie! Where would I find Ab Ripper X?

I second Ab Ripper X, it is a DVD in the original P90X, so I don't think you can get individually, but it is a killer Ab routine and I teach Pilates for a living...

Thanks, ladies. My son is doing P90X right now, so guess who's going to be borrowing his Ab Ripper X dvd?

Glute/Ham Machine Hyper Sit-ups - YouTube

Do you have access to a glute-ham machine? Not a full video of course, but 4 or five sets of these will have you screaming. Two tips -- 1. Go S-L-O-W. Much MUCH slower than this guy does. I.E. - hang out at the bottom, completely relaxed, then SQUEEZE your core first, and keep it tight as you roll up. 2. Forget a medball, grab a dumbell, and hold it BEHIND your neck. Start with 3lbs and go up from there. I've held 20# and as long as you really focus on form, you can do it. Go for 4 sets of 15. Have fun.
