Joyce Vedral
This video covers abs and back. You alternate between the two. The
back work is done with weights. The exercises are fairly routine,
nothing new. The total length of the video is about 30 minutes, and she
gives you stopping points after 10, 20, or 30 minutes. That way, you can
adjust it to your own level of fitness. The ab work is "traditional" --
crunches, twists, etc. I would have liked Joyce to include some
stabilization/Pilates-type ab work. Grade B.

I love her ab work. It's traditional, but she uses giant sets and hits all the angles!
