Movie Reviews of The Abs Diet Workout
Movie Review: abs diet
Summary: 3 Stars
It is not exactly what I was looking for, but is helpful and recommendable if you are beginner.Movie Review: The Floozie Workout
Summary: 2 Stars
A more apt description of this video would be "The Floozie Workout." If you are a woman and serious about fitness be prepared to be insulted by the two floozies featured with Tom Holland on this exercise video who provide unnecessary comic relief in this otherwise solid weight training workout video.
The video is intended to provide a circuit training program to complement the Abs Diet, a diet developed and promoted by David Zinczkenko Editor-in-Chief of Men'sHealth magazine. The diet (details of which I won't elaborate on here) is a solid one and in many respects resembles the Weight Watcher Core program - it emphasizes a balance of protein, healthy fat, and complex carbs eaten in moderate portions.
The video provides three tracks - one for the absolute beginner, a second for intermediates and a third for those more advanced. Frankly, the advanced track is not all that advanced. If you are interested in weight training and have no experience (be sure to consult your physician before starting an exercise program), I suggest you start with the beginner circuit. After several weeks when you feel confident, you should be able to tackle the intermediate circuit and shortly thereafter the advanced circuits. If you are looking for a serious weight training workout you should strongly consider Jari Love's "Get Ripped" workout - more rigorous, emphasizes tempo training, and grows with you (many variations demonstrated/discussed other than merely increasing the weight).
The video opens with a very short cardio workout and then segues into the beginner's workout. Holland introduces each exercise and then takes the viewer through one set of reps. He is accompanied by two women who carry very light weights and go through the motions. If you truly want to make this a circuit you need to repeat the exercise circuit at least once if not twice. The intermediate and advanced circuits feature the same basic exercises as in the beginner circuit but take it up a "notch" by adding light weight to some exercises and in the advanced doing double duty on others (upper body/lower body). If you are in any kind of shape you will probably benefit the most by combining all three circuits sequentially as cued on the video. The whole workout will take less than one hour. Don't expect abs though. If you want abs you really need to watch your diet - eat really clean - and do some serious core work and this workout just doesn't have it.
Movie Review: The second dvd is much better!
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this dvd because I own the 2nd one and like it so much. Boy, was I disappointed! The abs diet people must have decided to create the second dvd because this one needed a good edit. The second dvd covers basically the same exercises but with better instruction and form. Skip this one and buy the Abs Diet Workout 2!Movie Review: Abs Diet IMPOSSIBLE Workout

This is my first review and unfortunately it has to be negative. I wasn't at all pleased with Tom Hollands Ab workout. I don't believe he knows how to help fat people. I'm 24 and 281 pounds and find his routine to be extremely difficult. I think if you are already in shape and need a little help to tone this is your DVD because he is insightful and knows his stuff. He is also very good on reminding you to breathe. But I still believe he was never fat and will never know how to properly instruct larger people with no ab strength to do his workouts. P.s. The girl Madison in the video is Hot!Movie Review: watch out

For some reason unbeknownst to me, the beginning workout includes two dumbell workouts that have you bend 90 degrees at the waist(namely the bent-over lat pull and the bent-over tricep extension). In my opinion, these can be potentially dangerous, especially when the trainer barely goes over the proper form needed. I immediately felt strain on my lower back when doing these two exercises. And I don't think it was because my dumbells were too heavy. I believe these exercises would be better suited for use with a bench.
