Movie Reviews of The Abs Diet Workout
Movie Review: Excellent for Beginners
Summary: 4 Stars
As a professional trainer, my biggest concern is for begginers or sedentary people in search of a safe, appropriate way to get started with an effective program.
For these people, there are alot of bad choices out there. But this DVD is perfect for beginners - safe, efficient and not overwhelming - A great way to build a fitness foundation.

Movie Review: The Abs Diet Workout
Summary: 4 Stars
I have lost 8 pounds and a few inches on my waste since starting this program. I have combined it with a 30 minute bike ride everyday. Great!!!
I turned 45 this month so weight gain is creeping up on me. This program is great!!!
Movie Review: Good but NOT Great
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm a HUUGE fan of the Ab's Diet...I've lost 40 pounds using it because it is NOT a diet...it is a lifestyle change BUT...THIS DVD IS NOT THE BOOK! Many of the reviewers here are confusing the two. While I see this DVD as OK it is the weakest offering of any of the Ab's Diet material...only get it if you can purchase it cheaply. My advice is to borrow the DVD first before you purchase.
Ok...why do I feel this way? I feel this way because I don't think the DVD really fits the Ab's Diet program in two ways...first, this DVD was made for women or by a host whose clients are primarily women...and second, the philosophy that focuses primarily on aerobics over muscle building just doesn't fit the Ab's Diet focus OR fit my experience...when I lost the most weight was when I shifted from aerobic exercise to muscle building...third, it seems like to get anything out of these routines (according to some reviewers) you have to ADD other routines such as walking and so forth...that will NOT work in the long run as you lose motivation...so, it doesn't seem comprehensive...
Before getting the DVD I expected something other than a women's aerobic workout...I wanted more details related to circuit training using free weights or machines...I say "women's workout" because of a few clues...a) he has two women as models...ok, not damning on its own but...b) the host literally IS talking to women...and during his dialogue he talks about how you can get the abs you want...which is fine...and then adds as an afterthought "and even men too!"...check it out if you already have the DVD (OUCH!)...and c) add to that evidence the bent knee push ups used for women (and only to finish off a men's push up routine) and that turned me off right away...this program is from Men's Health...NOT women's health...so the host is off the mark...
Second, this is primarily an aerobic workout...the only thing missing are the old women's leg warmers...as I said from experience...the Ab's Diet is about both BUT it's priority is building a fat burning machine through muscle...
An upside to this DVD?...I would say that this DVD would be ok for beginners who haven't been off a couch in years like I was 18 months ago (and that goes for all levels of difficulty in this DVD...it's ALL beginner level even at the "advanced" level)...also, the abs workouts on this DVD are super...those two reasons and my appreciation of the Ab's Diet in general give this DVD three stars...otherwise it would only be two stars for the reasons stated above.
My hope is that the Ab's Diet people get together and produce another DVD more suited to men and their philosophy of focussing on building muscle.
Bottom line: Get this DVD if you are an extreme beginner OR you're someone who would like a resource for a variety some of some nice abs routines.
Movie Review: Okay for beginners
Summary: 3 Stars
The moves are easy to follow, and the host Tom Holland is very encouraging. That said, it's way too short and low-intensity for experienced exercisers! The ladies he has exercising behind him are obviously very buff, but he has them using 3 lb dumbbells and doing girl push-ups! What? Tuff girls are sure to feel a bit insulted by this, at least I did.Movie Review: Abs Diet Workout - Better for Beginners
Summary: 3 Stars
The workout is good for a beginner, and maybe and intermediate, but I was disappointed with the "advanced" workouts which are more warm-ups than workouts.
