It's hard to explain, but I believe the abs have a big part in all the moves throughout a workout. Think about it, in a push-up the abs hold your midsection up. During Turbo Jam and Hip Hop Abs, the more you focus on the moves and using your abs in the proper form, the more you seem to get out of the workout. In plyometrics, using your abs aids in almost all the jumps. When you do resistance work, holding in and paying attention to the abs really helps your lifting and form. This, then helps prevent injury.
The more I do my workouts and the more I focus on my abs during the workout, the more I believe that this will help me achieve my overall goal of one day having a six pack!
My daily reminder to everyone reading this- during your next workout, think about your abs and how they are being used for every move you are doing? Are you using the proper form for you abs during each and every move?

I agree, Heather. For the past month or so, I've been really trying to focus on working my abs. It does help!
And the abs are the last place where we see progress, too, but it's finally happening for me.
hurray!
Girl, we all want to look like you and your abs. It is sad that they are always the last to appear.
But, I think focusing on them can only help that come just a little sooner!

I definitly agree with you.. Although, I am no where near a 6pack... I notice that the more I cocentrate on my abs the better workout that I get.. and the next day.. I can sure feel them too..

It really does take focus on the core, but it really ups the intensity. So, keep the focus!
