[Milan4490]

@ReggieLee

Me too! I have been using that program at

AmazingAbs.info

results. Cant wait to see what results i can

get in the next month as I am going on

holidays and will be in a bathing suit alot

and I already know I will feel a lot better

than I have in years..:))

[OmarwanM]

I'm poor, can I use a watermelon instead of the ball?

[CarlyxCrash]

@OmarwanM lol

[1craigbayer]

Great workout liked the video easy to follow

[tadaonoguchi14]

hi to all please. tell me where can i buy the performance disc that she is been using..i had one before but i gave it to my oldest sister thought i could find one again for me but couldnt find anywhere..please anybody know a website where i can order..thank a lot..;)

[alex16ed]

If u wanna be buff lean.. Go see zuzsana if u want to be lean and toned watch Kim.. That simple love both of their workout videos

[MostExpensiveWorld]

She should be on

Fitness Model Friends .com

[chainsore]

i dont think she eats junkfood

[applelovingirl]

I wonder what her body fat % is. I'm definitely trying all three of those at the gym tonight.

[michael0256]

yup! i enjoy watching you...

[dorisfenella]

Siii, siempre hay un espacio entre la espalda y el suelo, al menos las mujeres no podemos tenerla pegada, justo lo que esperaba ver, si ella lo hace debe ser que esta bien no?

[yellams3]

I don't have a 5lb medicine ball, but I have a 5lb weight-will that alter the effectiveness of the workout?

[drago433]

zuzana pwns this woman!

[mmmkayylaa]

For the disc thing, I just take one of my pillows and fold it in half. :) It works really well. I did this one for the first time today ( i did her dumbell and butt one before) and I REALLY pushed myself. I was already sore from my last workout, and i had just gotten back from a run. I wound up being able to do all of it! Thelast rep was REALLY difficult though but I did it. You guys can too! :)

[alicejojocool]

wow you do everything 3 times. Respect

[pidouble145]

respect for the workout. pretty girl too.

[sarahkjoseph]

you should not twist your neck when doing med ball side to sides

[MAVII06]

Thx for sharing. I need to work on with my abs too

[randompurple35]

notice that the medicine ball starts rolling towards her..lol

[guromarv]

good video =)

i was laughing at 1:44 when the med ball started chasing you

[afrakomahateshaters]

instead of the disc u could also use a really thick towel

[kookooacho]

Thanks. :)

I was like. "awl darn i have to go buy something now?"

[itsAmbeeMofos]

thanks!!

[unicoperuano]

imma try dat for a dolla

[HomesteadProvocateur]

I don't do any ab workouts and I have flat abs.

[Elizimy]

Its probably good genetics.

:)

[HomesteadProvocateur]

Nah, it is diet! My sister and mom don't have flat abs.

[fariishtaa]

really? do u? like britney's or the celebrities?

[jahlove111]

lucky !

[kleinesveilchen]

thanxxx

[xandraeon]

No i'm actually thanking ford models. :)

Now you say you want a toned body, there's a lot that needs to be done in order to be satisfied in that department lol. I find that Ms. Kim has very effective routines and is a great source of honesty for fitness.

[xandraeon]

you know wat? Thank you. There's a whole lot of bull out there just for money.

[xspringcow69]

i dont get it.

so your saying that this video is all bs?

im trying to get a toned body, and its not fricken working, so i neeta know if these tips and excersies acutally work..

[xandraeon]

Start by eating healthy the best way to do that is cut back on white breads sugary foods, and things that are obviously bad for you. Then start adding vegetables and fruits you like into your diet. Eat lean meats and fish. Eggs and oatmeal are also great for you. Go for whole wheat. I'm not sure if you can find the reset of my comment but eh. And try to control your portions as well. Now as for body fitness. Don't just focus on your abs, don't use supplements, and use the internet.

[streetfightermatt]

What do you mean don't use supplements?? If you're using weight loss supplements then they are bullshit, but for gaining muscle I love WPI with no carbs. Although supplements can help, its your working out, rest and diet that give you the results

[LydiaxLOSERFACE]

lol im almost tempted to get my ass of my pc chair and do some crunches O.o

[pnayintegragyrl]

hehe, medicine ball rolls to kim..

n_n

[majcolon]

She is great, loved the workout!

[ORlver]

It's just not right...

WHY do you not have your own tv show? ;D

You're awesome!

[KARINinLaLaLand]

this is GREAT!!!

[ainsleystones]

thanks!!

[SweeterGirl33]

where do you get this perform better diff? I have never heard of that.

[phillipngyn]

.she is hot.

[aguacun]

what the heck!?

[bevon17]

nvm 3 sets is harder

=D

[bevon17]

i do a harder work out in my room to be honest

but thanks for the tips i still cant get my 6th though so im doing somthing wrong

[chynahangel]

she is so awesome and helpful! why doesnt she have her own dvd?

[JakartaInFlames]

Can't wait to try to do some of them today.

[LaLaFeatRoxana]

kim strother is one of the ford models i find really nice. she's always smiling and has a very soft voice, its easy to listen to her. and i like watching her vids because they are really inspiring :)

[ThePeresosos]

how do you call?

[xxmillee]

where can you buy the phisio ball?

[forgotmynamelol]

first exec vids want to try

[PropertyofMCR]

I'm in a personal fitness class at my school and at the end of the period my teacher does an ab workout with us and we use the balance disc sometimes too... that kills!lol but you have an awesome stomach I hope I can get a great stomach someday.I have free membership to a gym becuase I work in one of the branches so I'll be there in the summer.your videos are inspiring!thanks for sharing!

[stephaniixox]

she reminds me of that one girl from antm that made it to the finals with caridee

[shortcake1000]

you mean Melrose? Yeah she kinda does.

[personalphoenix999]

good exercises, just 1 bit of advice. Do not grip behind your neck because this places a lot of pressure on your neck, instead place your finger tips on your temples or your ears. enjoy the burn!

[tepeltje]

Wow, Kim = Perfect!

I use to go to the gym (fitness)3 to 4 times in the week.. but my legs were getting bigger because of the muscles, and i stopped. I'm trying to find a way to shape my legs, but make the muscles longer, not thicker, i hope Kim has another video about that!

[LiLLiNooRaJ]

have you tried pilates? it's supposed to make muscles lean and strong....

[modgiiee08]

i think its great why are you saying stuff like that it really helps i feel powerful now ive started doing this !

[sarkerm2]

Kim, to honest with you, you are the cutest girl i've ever seen. i love you smile, it makes me feel happy, i don't know why but it dose. and you are always smiling in your vids, i love that. and of course your fitness tips are very helpful.

[srs1093]

what's a rep?

[fordmodels]

"Rep" is short for repetition.

[srs1093]

ooohh! wow, i feel stupid! :P

[sarkerm2]

or like "50 Cent" lol

[fordmodels]

No, that would be "toy."

[lanberr]

@srs1093 u donkey

[MissBlossom89]

@srs1093 this made me lol

[querida1314]

love ur workout

[morning3jack]

DISABLE COMMENTS IF YOU CAN :)

[fordmodels]

Why?

[morning3jack]

They discrimnate against ppl sexist/racist/bullying etc they are largely childish, pathetic and annoying for the majority!

[fordmodels]

Agreed. Welcome to YouTube.

[Dogsrule30345]

i need to work out so im trying to wip myself into shape before summer and when i go to a beach house and im going on a diet i hope this works kim ur awesome.

[querida1314]

kim you're such a good role model for young women like us!

[mulala564]

I'm to lazy to go to the gym, so i just do ab workouts on my couch infront of the t.v :)

[Amoostoons]

lol, that's the first step in the five step plan... admittance.

[golalipop]

isn't it a balance disc??? hmmmm....

[golalipop]

oh...whats this disk called? i love waching the workots...pretty cool. thanks...they are really awesome =)

[Mickoy88]

Nice, thank you!

[alaa5050]

god

[Cosi88]

nice thing! but I wouldn't do it too much, cause I don't want that part of my body look too muscular like manly u know :)

[gabeek83]

You need to burn much of your body fat for those muscles to show, cardio in combination with strength training is the key. Without cardio that body fat will not disapeer..however, the abs are challenging to firm and tone, but NOT impossible. Consistency!!!

[skittlesyummyyum]

Oooh Yes!! Abs, people, abs!! I gotta start doing this now!!

[JakartaInFlames]

I'm going to try that one day if I'm not too lazy.

[queenzakiya91]

how long would it take to see a difference if you do those everyday?

[mkarla9]

this is great

[tinkkiou]

yeah you should definitely put a video of your typical diet! I like seeing what you typically do for workouts or things you've added to change it up, because your body is amazing! I would love to know what you eat as well.

P.S. Give Moose a little hug for me :) He is the sweetest dog ever.

[770sh]

is good

[issak]

i weigh about 400 pounds- are you sayin' that if i do this i too could have a six pack?

[nafisah98]

You would and like do it for all body parts Arm&shoulders&legs&abs&back&Ca­lves&Waists&chest =)

ud have a great body inn probably like 3 to 4 or 5 months i'm guessing for a 400 pounder ud get a great body just dont give up =)

good luck

[MalibooBarbie]

and also by the time you lose weight and are at a regular weight your abs will already show so you don't have to start working on it then. Your will be less likely to have loose skin too! You can do it! :)

[Helexia]

Hmm thats very helpful, where do i get one of those disks that go under your back?

[FollowMyFatLoss]

Diet is the key to getting your abs to show. You need a low body fat % ... great exercise routine!

[naughtyangel336]

wow... wish i had those abs. btw what are love handles?

[Juliashka]

cute girl

[winnie069]

My husband told me I had a slight muffin top (love handles). Thanks for the workout. I'm thin but in shape and I can do this without killing myself.

[cyoan]

3 types of exercise or 3 routines 15 reps on each one

[katetygers]

you should put a video up of your diet

bc yr nice and trim and not too muscular

that is what i want to no

[tiestjeuh]

yer beautiful !

[christafredrickson]

Thanks kim! i love your videos... what is your diet like?? I know I am not the only fan interested in knowing what you eat to keep fit going along with your workouts!

thanks a bunch!

[futbolpark]

i like her.

[katetygers]

when u go from side to side, does that help your love handles disapear? thats my target area..

[matetsy]

her beauty has a hint of gisele bunchen's

[MissCaptainWeird]

It's nice to see a healthy fit model who is into exercise. It's a refreshing change from the anorexic models who look like they are dyingof starvation!

[mdmlee]

Totally agree! I really need some motivation to rid my post-natal tum! ARGH...

[higgrobot]

I have a six pack, it's in my fridge

[BigEdd34]

Kim is 22 years old by the way.

[jdq2570]

No she isn't, she's 25. check out her myspace.

[BigEdd34]

can't find her myspace, could you post a link?

cheers dude.

[fordmodels]

myspace. com/kimstrotherfordmodel

[DCV19]

I recently purchased a medicine ball and have been doing the exercise the way u demonstrated it but i was wondering if u knew any different ways to use it. i would really appreciate if u would do a clip of just using the medicine ball Thanks KIM UR THE BEST!!!!

[ashakiran0]

I don't agree with what iluvbakkua said. why would it be hard to lose fat later just because there's muscle underneath? I've never heard anything like that before. In fact, the higher the muscle mass the faster the metabolism, so it would actually help.

[cut3Nd4chINk]

How long did you do this exersize every day to finally get that flat stomach?

[ILUVBAKKUA]

This ex is mostly for toning and maintain an already flat stomach. Crunches are never for losing weight or slimming. If u overweight and do dis wif a big belly, it's going to create muscle behind the flab then it will be extremely diff to lose the flab becuz the stomach area will be very hard.

to lose weight and slim down first you need to sweat it away by running long dist often, thats the best way.

[DJWE06]

You're really the best, sexiest, fittest, and most beautiful girl for me! So you do 15 reps to the front, 15 to the right, and 15 to the left, take a little break, then 2 more sets of those 3? That's 135 reps in total! You're way more fit than me. O.o

[4bratgirl]

im 12 and 3/4 and i really want to get into shape and so i am gratefull of these awesome videos you guys have! and the only medicine ball i have is 10 pounds. im going to kill myself

[fordmodels]

use a bag of rice or something

[Xx2glamoroussxX]

fnx so much 4 da advice nd i will try it!

[poetress98648]

I'm a massage therapist and the way she exercises her abs, is prolly the most effective. the side to side w/ the medicine ball is so effective to loose love handles and shrink the waist. im glad she put it up here

[KungFu17]

it helps if you are that tall...

[xBlackCess]

KungFu17 - What helps if you are tall? Anyone can do this regardless of how tall you are. If that's what you meant.

[mani1239]

Kim is so down-to-earth, unlike some other models.

[geckoplower]

yeah, she's awesome..

[rickyorganek]

she must HEAR very well

[StrawberryBigMac]

she is sooooo cute....kinda distracting. post a lower abbs and obliques video

[paige0525]

your my favorite ford model :)

[DJWE06]

Kim, you are the best! You're beautiful and sexy! Nice abs and muscles! :D

[JoulseyCupid]

OK she looks definitely healthy than those thin catwalk models I see. Way to go Kim!

[raunchycaldera]

i'll definently try the disk under the back, for more intense crunches

[pinkerchaos]

omg she has the perfect body so jealous

thank you..this will help me a lot

[vinshrl]

go shrl go

[dodow1234]

kim is so sexy and beautifull

[DJWE06]

I agree! :D

[seasun7]

you NEVER lift your legs and your head at the same time, it damages your back, moreover you do many other mistakes too

[Darlil]

Thank you.

[xBlackCess]

My trainer gets me to do stuff like this all the time. Can you give a good explanation on why it is dangerous (if it is done right) and what exactly can happen? All statements should come with reason. If you have a good explanation, maybe I won't do it anymore.

[eugenekchoi]

The medicine ball seems to fancy you as well, Kim... LOL Many thanks for the tip! =)

[YAYYitscheese]

i love her excersize routines! Very interesting! =)

[jammaj17]

that girl is so flat

[SskoCH8]

so what??!

[wasabimimi]

love the video. Any suggestions for working out the lower ab?

[xmencreator]

Thank you so much, your workout plans is much better than the ones I've seen, peace........ALG...

[loweight]

Magnifique, je veux voir cette fille en vrai... Dwavi$

[FallenAngelxxx0xxx]

tht luks wicked

[rachieroo08]

another fab vid! thanks kim!

rooSTAR

[vickiee72]

How doo yhu get the motivation to work out..i always say to myself ill go for a run later and when the time comes i really feel too lazy Lol..but that exercise shows me that i dont have to go out for fitness

[SRT480]

WOW I always assumed models dieted there way to slimness. Awesome seeing you guys workout and being healthy!

[fordmodels]

Thanks. keep watching.

[vampireproductions]

lmao sory but I saw the ball rolling across at the end that was funny XD

[miaangel247]

i know right! lol

[dennisprager13]

Nice EARS!

[jousness]

Olafur101: you mentioned something about ab crunches being bad for you..elaborate please...thanks

[radesh0430]

wow i cant do any of those i am too lazy

[Olafur101]

There was only one good exercise among these (that one with the medicine ball). The rest was too much crunch-like. Nowadays it's known how bad crunches are, u should do only a few of them, there are really better abs exercises. This workout is crap

[prrolg]

You are beautiful.You look like my ex-wife when she was a young girl.She was Norwegian,family name Frantzen.Are you? Love your side to side running on the treadmill.Thought I was the only one who did that(when I was in shape ,alas,long ago). God ,you are beautiful,Jeesh!

[icewaltz222]

Everyone has a six pack, if your very thin it will show clearly even without workouts.

[krystal361]

wrong.

[justjoe9074]

No, icewaltz222 is CORRECT!

[Bemidji]

you are very cutie!!!!!!!!

[miket2]

Where do you get that thing that makes your normal crunch a bit harder?

[TotallyUnknownGuy]

The vocal presentation needs training ! ! !

[RaymondVermeer]

Wow, that really motivated  me!! Thanks!

[justjoe9074]

#1 factor = genes

#2 factor = diet

I know many people who don't even workout at all and they have a six pack.

[TotallyUnknownGuy]

#3 factor=exercising .

[justjoe9074]

I have a six pack and never to any ab work. Sorry. Genes!

[miaangel247]

ye sure you do! just keep thinking that!

[thinisgood]

PLEASE make us another video Kim! You are VERY motivational!

[fordmodels]

We will. Our production team is on it.

Thanks!

[mrhead09]

To lose weight you need to create a caloric deficiency (burn more calories than you consume). This is done by both building muscle and doing cardio. Building muscle boosts your metabolism so you burn more calories at rest. Cardio burns a lot of calories while you are doing it.

[lusciousphilippa]

what exactly does cardiovascular exercise consist of? I follow neil mcandrew's ultimate challenge some days- is that cardio? Also, I don't eat candy, but have been putting on alot of weight this month- studying, hermitting, sedentary :(- what can I do to lose the weight while sitting- final exams- every hour is crucial! thx

[asianseoul]

cardio means aerobic exercise like running, jumping.. anything that needs a lot of moving.

[itubeutude]

great body!

[PinkChicken]

great abs...the model looks like jenna elfman

[ohmygodrob]

ooooo ;)

[appayipyip]

Working out "abs" will NOT give you a 6 pack. You need to burn adipose fat tissue that is on TOP of your muscle, and under your skin. You do this by doing CARDIOVASCULAR activity. Also, nutrition is vitally important. Someone like her probably only eats 1600 calories a day.

[ShallowV]

Actually, it will give you a 6 pack. You just won't see it.

[mrhead09]

The key to having great abs is the development of muscle and the loss of fat. Losing fat is done by creating a caloric deficiency.

It is true that Cardio burns fat, but building muscle also helps create a caloric deficiency by boosting your metabolism. This means that you burn more calories at rest. So to really lose weight you should both build muscle and do cardio.
