This DVD comprises five 10 minute workouts that I like to use as add-ons, sometimes after doing Phase 1 or Phase 2 from her DVD "Get Your Body Back". Two segments target the glutes, three the abs. I haven't recently had a baby and the workouts still feel properly challenging for me, so don't let the post-pregnancy theme put you off. These are solid pilates-based little workouts that feel very effective. Tracey and Erica do the exercises in sneakers, but I've done them barefoot too. There's a section at the beginning of the workout where Tracey explains how to engage the abs after giving birth, and how to work with diastasis recti. I think these workouts are good for beginners, because of the form pointers and the gradual progression from easier to harder, but they are also good for inremediate to advanced exercisers.

Good ab & bun exercises

I enjoy Tracey Mallett's Booty Barre series & thought I'd give this ab dvd a shot since my stomach isn't what it used to be. This dvd is geared toward post-natal women (which I can't say I am, as my son is 5), but it can be used by anyone. I bought this DVD thinking it would be all ab exercises, but there are about 20 minutes focusing on bun, thighs & hamstrings. Actually, I found those sections to be more challenging the ab sections. The dvd is broken up in levels (ab level 1, ab level 2 etc.). If you use the entire dvd, it is a little choppy as some of the same exercises are in both levels. Otherwise it's a solid workout from a great instructor.
