The Lotte Berk Method has been called the ultimate body transformation system. For over three decades this no-nonsense, results oriented fitness method has been available exclusively at Lotte Berk Method studios in Manhattan and Bridgehampton, New York. A best-selling book and hundreds of articles have featured and praised these special exercises, but now for the very first time, the world famous Lotte Berk Method is available in a series of effective home video workouts. Former school teacher and tax lobbyist Lydia Bach developed the Method while training with Russian dancer Lotte Berk at her Rehabilitative Exercise studio in London. The Lotte Berk Method combines elements from modern & classical dance, orthopedic back exercises, and Hatha yoga into a highly sensual and satisfying fitness system. Everyone wants defined, flat abdominals to look good in the new Hip-Hugger and Lo-Ride fashions requires them! No exercises are more effective at targeting all of the abdominal muscles - even the lowest ab muscles - than the Lotte Berk Method. Specially designed firming tension exercises start working muscles below the bust and firm and strengthen each muscle group all the way down. You will love how you look and feel from using this extraordinary workout! Special Features - Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound
- Interactive Full Motion Menus
- Chapter Selections
- Workout to Music with Narration
- Bonus Trailers
- One Bonus Workout

Summary: Gives a great workout
Comment:
This is a great workout and the time just flies by. When I was done, I could hardly believe 30 minutes had passed. As long as you don't allow youself to cheat and actually do the exercises as instructed you will get a great ab workout. The only exercise I had trouble with was the reverse pushups and for those, I did standing pushups against the wall. Also, I used a yoga mat and found the exercises to be a little more comfortable since this workout is floor based.
This is going to be my new "early moring" workout.

Summary: Not their best .....
Comment: I had to come back and edit my review. Now I would probably give it 4 stars. At first I did not like this DVD, but after doing it several times I changed my mind. Its not a very difficult DVD, but if you really sqeeze your abs and go slow, you can feel it (and eventually see it) working. It's still not my favorite DVD, but I would recommend the other Lotte Berk DVDs. High Round Assets and Muscle Eats Fat were both better and I have seen results from both.

Summary: Silly Instructor
Comment: I am an advanced exerciser and love working out at home the best- so i buy a ton of DVD's. This one--the exercises themselves are good, but the girl never shuts up and often looses track of her counts--it may be okay the first time you try it, but if you plan on doing this more than once, she'll drive you insane with her LONG instructions every time you just want to do the work-out!!!! She talks sooo much you lose the flow. I learned the exercises and do them in about half the time--- without her annoying instructions!
Customer Rating:
Summary: great ab workout
Comment: I really enjoy this because it focuses on pulling the abs in to get worked (which I have tendancy to forget and push out slightly). I like it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: It's OK (but not great)
Comment: Overall I didn't like the video. Most of the exercises are too easy for intermed-adv users, but there are some moves that seem too complicated for a beginner.
I felt that the half hour workout was boring and a waste of my time because I didn't feel at all sore during or after workout. I think it's because the movements aren't great and they did very little reps.
The positive aspects of this video is that instructor does extensive cueing, and emphasizes form/posture (including reminders to pull in your abs & pelvic tuck), and is fairly energetic.
If you are looking for a Ab workout, there are many other better videos out there like "Firm Parts: 5-Day Abs" & "More 5-Day Abs."
If you are looking for a non-traditional workout focusing on overall toning/stability, I would recommend "The Bar Method Body - Designer Sculpting" or pilates.
Summary of moves:
WARM UP(This seems to be standard to all the Lotte Berk videos; it definitely didn't contribute to working out the Abs):
knee lifts, shoulder shrugs. Push ups, reverse push ups, tricep stretch, hamstring stretch.
ABS:
Lean back while keeping abs contracted to hold upper body up
"Walks" = while keeping abs contracted in a crunch position, alternate moving legs up & down
"Sit Ups"
Lay on side and lift up legs
Plank exercises
STRETCHES
