Ab Exercises

Options
I'm trying to find an ab exercise that I can do at home that I will actually stick with. Possibly a DVD? (But a really good one that will make me curse the instructor for how much it hurts). I know basic ab exercises like leg lifts, bicycle crunch, plank pose, etc.- the problem is that I am never all that motivated to do them at home on my own. I want to have a stronger core so I can further my yoga practice (which technically I don't need to expand my practice, but there are certain postures I just do not have the core strength to get into).

Any ideas or tough love even would be most appreciated.

    I have found that the jacknife exercises on the Wii give me results, when I do them. ;=)

    Try "Trouble Zones" by Jillian Michaels. You can workout to different circuits and always include the ab circuit. Thats what I did!!

    The Jackie Warner Crunchless Ab dvd is a killer!

    I use Turbo Fire, and there are some killer core workouts. But you have to buy the whole program, not just the specific workouts. I know that OnDemand on cable has some good stuff, as does Netflix. You could even check out your library and see what they have.
