Wow! I wore out a 8-min Abs tape, so now I have the DVD. I used the tape approx 350 days a year for 6 years. Some changes I've made to the routine:
1. never clamp the hands behind the head; it's better to cup your ears or cross the arms over your chest;
2. the 2nd to last exercise, where we alternate legs, I speed up and clench my abs.

I have 2 bad discs in my low back, and have found that when I regularly do this routine (approx 5 days per week, at 4a.m. after stretching), my back feels loose and stable and mostly pain free. It does a very good job of hitting all of the core abdominal muscles.
