I really LOVE this workout. Because of back and neck issues I can't do floor work. This is one of the first standing workouts that has really helped me strengthen my core!

After quitting multiple ab videos, I was relieved when I came upon this one. This is easier than most, but not so easy that I doubt the progress it will have. I started to feel the abs working. Thank you!!!
