Tony Horton One on One series is an amazing way to spice up any of your current workout programs. On top of that, you can build your own program from just these workouts if you have both the Volumes.  Volume One, contained more of the meaty resistance type workouts while Volume 2 so far has contained many of the cardio core/Abs type workouts.  Personally I do have a fondness for the program, but I would have liked to have seen new resistance workouts. 

So what is ISO Abs?   This is another great addition to the many ab/core workouts that Tony has been creating in volume 2.  There are a total of 10 exercises with twelve reps each. You go through the routine twice.  Total time takes around 38 minutes.  This would be the longest ab/core workout that I’ve personally been through.  It is definitely different than AB Ripper X and most of the others. It’s focus is to keep things slow, controlled and keep you focused/concentrated on each move and the core.  You really feel it in each move throughout your core region.

Tony does a wonderful job of showing you variations in the moves in case you have lower back problems or aren’t currently up to par to do the entire workout.  My best advice to you is to do your best on each one. If you have to lower the # of reps you do, so be it.  In no time you will work up to the 12 per and maybe go even further if you challenge yourself. 

ISO Abs I feel is a great add-on to your current program. For one you could switch out on some days with Ab Ripper X, or in any other programs Abs workout (cardio abs, merciless abs, etc).  Don’t hesitate to spice things up, to challenge yourself and find what gets the most out of your workout.  If you are going to spend the hour or more a day working out, make sure it gets the job done. Make sure you aren’t wasting that hour.  The 38 minutes you will spend doing this routine is WELL worth it. 

The 10 exercises that Tony puts you through are Banana Boat, Tick-Tock, Super Scissors, The Gate, Oblique Crunch Left/Right, Draw-Bridge, Big Bike, Palin Twists and the Monster.
