Movie Reviews of Ab Bootcamp
Movie Review: Great video for damaged abs & post baby
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a huge fan of Billy. I have all his DVD's. I found myself with split ab muscles & a huge flabby belly after having 2 babies within 3 years. I was a size 2 frame with a 32" waist! I tried cardio workouts for 2 years without improvement. Doctors told me a tummy tuck was my only option for shape because my muscles were split. They told me to avoid ab exercises because I could get a hernia.
The video-
The video is divided into standing ab work & then floor work. About 2/3 is devoted to standing. I only did the standing work because I was afraid to do the floor work because of my muscles. The music is upbeat. Billy gives great instructions.
I did this video every day. I did 1/2 hr on the treadmill first then I did the standing portion of this video. I was shocked that this video made me sweat. I've never done an ab workout before that got me heated. Results= I lost 4" on my waist.
Extra:
I disagree with prior reviews stating Billy uses bad form. I did notice some soreness initially in my back that improved as my muscles got stronger. You need to do it for awhile before giving up. As with any workout video or class you need to modify it to fit your level of fitness. I did not do the floor work on it & I still got great results. I also skipped a move where he flops his arms around like a helicopter because I did feel pulling on my back, but my husband did the move without any problems.
Movie Review: ABsolutely amazing!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the only ab workout I have ever done, and believe me, I have done alot, where I have actually seen results. The floor excercises are intermediate to difficult. Billy does alot of crunch-like exercises in which you must tuck your chin to your chest and keep your shoulders off of the floor. In other words, you must always keep your abs contracted. I never knew it, but this is the secret to getting great abs.
Further, after doing this workout for several months, I can actually see the muscles in my stomach. I can't believe I may actually one day have a visible six pack. I never thought it possible.
Another thing I like about this workout is there is about 15 mintues of stand up ab excercises. These exercises consist of alot of twisting, which slims your waste. My waste has gone down one whole size from doing these on a regular basis. Besides the twisting, Billy also does some stand-up ab strenghening excercises which are not as hard on your back as the floor exercises. If you are a beginner you will find this workout challenging, especially the floor exercises. But don't give up. Each time you do this workout you will definitely notice that you have stronger abs and after a month of doing this workout on a regular basis you will definitely see results!!
This is by far the best and most effective ab workout I have ever done.
Movie Review: This will get your abs in shape!
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all, just so you know, this workout is about 35 minutes long. This may not seem like a great amount of time, but when you're severely concentrating on your abs the entire time, it feels like it. Someone else mentioned you should stretch before you do this, that's not a bad idea, but I really don't think you're going to hurt yourself if you don't.
The first time I did this, I thought I was going to die, and though I was really trying, I couldn't complete all the sets of everything (and I have been working out consistently for years!). After a few more times of doing it, I can now keep up. It still burns my abs like hell, but I love that because I know it's working. Billy gives great explanations in this one about form and breathing, which he doesn't do in all of his other workouts. It makes all the difference.
This workout will definetely help you tone that mid-section. I have seen noticeable results after doing this for a few months and I've only been doing it once or twice week (granted, I am combining this with his other work out videos, but still). You will be impressed with this video! It's definetely worth your time, effort, and money, which is hard to say about a lot of exercise videos!
Movie Review: Great Ab Workout!
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this ab workout TOUGH. I consider myself to be an intermediate to advanced exerciser. I have plenty of tough ab workouts that I feel when I do them but never the next day. And by no means do I have great abs. That's my weakest place in my body and it's the first place I gain weight. (Maybe when I get pregnant that's where all my weight will go). But I actually felt this workout the next day. I have mixed feelings about the length. Most ab workouts I own are 10-15 minutes long and I couple them with either weights or cardio depending on my mood. This one is about 30 minutes long and I think the length is what helps me get more results, but on the downside, I find myself not doing it as often because most days I don't wake up early enough to have time to do this DVD and another shorter one. All in all it's great. I haven't seen results yet because of my sketchy way of doing this workout, but I've been bad with my eating the past few weeks and I haven't gained in my stomach so I guess that's a good thing. I definietly reccommend this DVD.Movie Review: Even after the 1st work-out my stomach felt tighter and my pants felt looser!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Don't be fooled by the name, this tape is not just about abs. If you are at the beginner to intermediate level it will work your entire body, especially your legs. Although I have also been lifting 5-8 pound dumbbells for my arm strength. However, all of the whole-body exercises target the midsection. I think this is great for someone like me who has an apple shaped body. Usually what ends up happening is my arms and legs get toned easily, but my stomach stays flabby. With this video, it ends up evening out! The results were immediate!
And, for the record, Tae-Bo has been the ONLY exercise tape system I have ever been able to stick with, and I have tried many! It's really fun and motivational. Plus, Billy Blanks really goes out of his way to make sure you understand how to do the moves most safely and effectively. He is in amazing shape, yet at no point does he ever come off as pretentious (to an out-of-shape beginner just starting Tae-Bo). He is the best instructor ever!!!
