5.) Cheryl Burke’s Disco Abs – $39.98: You may know her as one of the long-standing professional dancers from “Dancing with the Stars”, the hugely popular reality TV show featuring pro dancers paired with celebrities who have little or no dance experience. In the show’s results night they had a fitness expert talk about the benefits of dance and how it works the entire core muscles. I have studied dance for many years and this is my preferred method in working out, hands down. Dancing most definitely works on the abs continuously.
Cheryl, the sweet soft-spoken dancer, wants you to have fun getting in shape just like her. All the music is set to ’70’s era disco music. The “That’s The Way I Like It” Abs Workout DVD shows you how to get flat abs in five minutes. This is a 3-DVD set, with the other 2 dvds being for cardio, buns, and thighs. Also included is the Disco Abs Eating Guide, and Workout Calendar. www.timelife.com Cheryl Burke’s Disco Abs | TimeLife.com
