Shiva Rea – Creative Core Abs (Acacia)

 

Picture: C+     Sound: C+     Extras: C-     Main Program: B-

 

 

Though this is not an exercise site, despite all the hard work the people do here, we occasionally have a chance to look at titles in the genre of this special interest even when we obviously do not get to try them out on a long term.  However, the Acacia titles have been more sound and valid than most, which continues with Shiva Rea – Creative Core Abs.

 

It lasts only 37 minutes, but is intense enough and with enough options that “only” is the last word you’ll use if you actually try to do any of this.  That makes it as satisfactory as any abs DVD on the market.

 

The anamorphically enhanced 1.78 X 1 image is shot on HD video and has some softness, but looks good otherwise and is adequate for an exercise program.  The Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo has no surrounds, but is clean and clear enough for the purpose.  Extras include only audio options.
