Certified instructor description:
A core-focused aero/tone interval program filmed on a Hawaiian beach. You'll firm your abs with the toning segments and burn the fat — covering those abs — with the aerobic sections (all easy-to-follow calorie burners like marches, jacks and jogs). The four circuits have a consistent sequence: balance, aerobics, plank exercises and classic floorwork. Never a wasted motion, Gilad's between-move transitions are always smooth and efficient. The entire program is progressive — the first circuit is easier; the last is more challenging. A step is suggested, but not required (it's used in the plankwork to improve positioning). ©2011.
