Okay, if you've already read my review for the other workout that is included in the deluxe set Flat Abs Fix, you know I wasn't a huge fan. This workout, on the other hand, will have you crying and begging for mercy (yes, that is a good thing). Autumn channels her dancing background in this workout and it does not disappoint! Let's head to the bar(re)!

Personal Opinions and Difficulty: Oh, my good grief! If you can get through this workout, you are one tough cookie! You will be shaking, sweating, probably swearing...but it will be worth it. I think this is quite possibly the best strength workout in the entire program. WHAT?! Yes, I said it! You will definitely feel this the next day and know that you got an incredible leg workout! I sub this for Lower Fix in the regular rotation.
Difficulty: 5/5 Yowzer! That hold will get you. Every. Single. Time.
Enjoyment: 4/5 I have to kick this down a point on the enjoyment scale because it is so tough. I haven't quite gotten to the point with this workout where I want to love to hate it yet.
Overall: 5/5 A really great, intense, effective leg workout! I wish that this came with the base program OR that there were a more effective workout with this one in the deluxe set. I absolutely recommend this workout and I think it's worth the money for this workout alone!
21 Day Fix targeted workouts DVD consist of two workouts, one for the abs and one for the legs. Both are 30 minutes workouts and feature a modifier. These workouts are part of the Ultimate Upgrade Package.
Flat Abs Fix is the targeted AB workout. This workout does not contain a warm up or cool down. After a brief introduction, Autumn jumps right in. You are working the abs from all angles - standing, prone, supine, lying side and seated.
There are twelve exercises. Autumn does two exercises and then she repeats them before moving on to the next two. In several of the exercises, you start the exercise on one side working for 30 seconds before switching to the other side for the last 30 seconds. The rest are between 16 and 27 seconds so the rest vary. The equipment used is a single dumbbell and a mat.
Barre Legs is the second targeted workouts. This workout uses the same warm up as many of the other 21 Day Fix workout. This workout uses your own body weight to get the work done.
There are 13 exercises. All the exercises follow the same pattern. You do 20 reps, followed by 20 pulses and then you hold the position for 30 seconds. The 30 second holds were tough.
Autumn is encouraging and stern throughout. She starts each exercise and then gets up to coach the class participants.
This DVD has the music on and off option. Each DVD is well chapter meaning you can skip forward or backwards to an exercise very easily.
These workouts also feature the subtitle bar that tells you what exercise you are doing as well as how much time or how many reps you have left.
These are my last two workouts of this series. Overall the workouts have been good. Autumn grew on me.
Flat Ab Fix - 3 & 1/2 stars
