I received the set today in the mail. Kudos to their shipping dept! I ordered on Friday and received it already (Monday)

I have previewed Abs on Fire and I am so excited. If you like Gilad's martial arts style cardio, you will love this! Taught in his normal add on style with relatively familiar moves with a few that were new to me. He is very good at reminding/explaining how to really use your core in the moves and obviously has maximized core work in the choreography.

It is 45 minutes rated for all levels. Beginners will need to take breaks and advanced will need to make the most of every move. As done I would say this is a very solid intermediate. He has 4 background exercisers - 3 women and 1 man. I recognize 2 of the women from the Express series.

As usual it is on the beach in Hawaii. The scenery is beautiful and at times the sun is setting and lending a golden glow to the sky and sand.

Gilad looks absolutely FANTASTIC. What an example of healthy eating and exercise.

I think this series would be an awesome post natal series... 4-6 months post natal that is. I love how Gilad says "The stronger your core, the stronger your entire body", it's very true.

I was going to trade the Med Ball workouts away but I'm going to keep them. Core Challenge can be done without a med ball easily and Maximum Abs will take some time to workout up to (for me at least).

Gilad is the only Male Instructor that I've clicked with. I enjoy the background, his cueing, the eye candy, and the emphasis on functional fitness. Gilad knows his stuff and IMO, he's one of the few instructors that works the opposing muscle & stabilizing groups completely and properly.

I was wondering why you were going to trade the Med Ball workouts, as the standing med ball was the only one of the series I was going to order. Interested in Cathe's Cycle Max and Strong Knees for that one? :-)
