RevAbs 90-Day Ab Workout DVD Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I completed the RevAbs program. I did gain core strength and core muscle control. I did not lose weight or begin to see my abs, but that's because I didn't monitor my diet super carefully. Despite that, I feel my results were good. However, I found this to be a hard program to stick to. For one thing, it's 90 days long, unlike the other Beach Body programs I have which are either stand alone (TurboJam, Rockin' Body) or 1.5--2 months (Slim In 6, Insanity). The workouts are pretty similar to each other, so you're doing the same basic set of moves every day for 3 months. There is some variation, but there are moves that you will do every single workout. In addition, I found Brett to be somewhat annoying. His little sayings like "Get a drinkie-poo" and "You can Brett on it" began to wear on my nerves. One great thing about this set is that there are subtitles (English and Spanish). So if you can't stand listening to him any more, you can just turn the subtitles on and the volume down.I loved the subtitle feature and wish every work out DVD had that.
If you don't need a lot of variety in your workouts and you're looking to gain some serious core strength, this is a good program for you. I think Rev Abs would also be great for someone who is already very lean and just needs that little extra push to get visible abs.

Power Abs Medicine Ball Workout with Gin Miller Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"I was not impressed with the Power Abs Medicine Ball workout. I think I was overcharged for the video and I had to buy the medicine ball seperate. What I did not realize, was that my medicine ball came with a 24 minute workout that is awesome! The total cost of medical ball and workout video from Walmart was $11. It is way better than the Gin Miller's Power Abs workout DVD that I bought. I should have bought the ball first and not wasted my money on this DVD."

Gin Miller's Power Abs Medicine Ball Workout introduces a new challenge in strength and conditioning with this dynamic workout. Designed to optimize benefits in cardio-respiratory fitness and reactive strength, this circuit interval format maximizes results in one time-efficient workout. This total-body workout alternates short bursts of easy-to-follow cardio (marches, jogs, runs and jacks) with integrated exercises that work multiple muscles groups all at the same time.

This program, specifically designed to improve overall fitness conditioning, adds a new variable in resistance training with the addition of light to moderate medicine balls. Adding the dynamics of medicine balls not only improves strength, coordination and balance, but also targets all the muscles of the core. This type of reactive training leads to better posture and every-day function - and a firmer, tighter mid-section.

Total Workout Time - 36 minutes

Mix & Match Menu - direct select specific exercises

Novice - less than or up to 4lbs Beginner - less than or up to 6lbs Intermediate - less than or up to Advanced - less than or up to 10lbs Elite Athlete - less than or up to 12lbs

*Due to the dynamic nature of this workout, exercisers should be pre-conditioned with a strong foundation in resistance exercise, balance training, and core stability. As with any new program or training mode, it is important to view the safety guidelines and watch the workout in its entirety prior to attempting these exercises. Anyone considering this type of training - including but not limited to pregnant women and especially those with a history of back, hip, spine or any other joint issues - should consult with their health care provider to determine if this program or training is appropriate for their fitness goals.

HIP HOP ABS DVD - Last Minute Abs - Shaun T (2007) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is another DVD off Hip Hop Abs w/Shaun T. who has a great personality, enthusiasm, energy, friendly, good instruction & love of dance.
As my title stated, this is only 5 min abs w/counter on the bottom. It's all standing, ab twists, knee lifts, standing crunches, etc. Some of it has a dance flair, but most is flat out fitness. Because of his personality, I gave it 3 stars & it's honest in how little content it is. I felt it only a tiny bit, I could have felt more doing reg dance in the same amount of time. I did get a little bored. Though if the one song that plays wasn't a recent top 40 & Shaun wasn't so enthusiastic, I would have died in boredom & turned it off. Those in shape would feel nothing. Those out of shape will love it.
The extra Dance Floor tutorial has pretty good real music, is very easy dance moves, mostly different step touches, 3 step turn, a double "snake" w/lifted leg & simple but stylish fwd grapevine for "battling" You won't get winded at all. All the first moves taught are repeated into a routine as you learn the next move. Very simple stuff, those who can dance will learn nothing. Those who can't dance will learn a few moves, even get the feel of being more into the groove.
I didn't think this needed a whole new DVD, this could have easily been extras on his other DVDs.

Bob Harper: Yoga for the Warrior Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this as part of the 4 box set from Bob's website. This is a power yoga workout which is an athletic yoga workout based on Ashtanga. This is not a bad workout, its just that there are so many power yoga workouts that are so very similar to this and many have better instruction (for example, Bryan Kest's 3 workout DVD series is a better bargain and has better instructions and a better price). If you already some good power yoga workouts, this workout will not really add anything new to your collection.
The level of this workout is pitched towards the intermediate/advanced exerciser. The demonstration of proper form is pretty minimal so this is best for someone who knows how to properly execute the moves. The workout also has some fairly advanced moves such as binds (moves in which one part of the body holds onto another part of the body or when two parts of the body are intertwined. These are great but you can injure yourself if you do not have good form).
There are three people going through this workout. Like the other workouts in this series, there is a timer counting down how much of the workout is left. The workout starts with basic stretching and then works into the sun salutation series (flat back stretch with palms to ground, downward dog, plank, chatkuranga, upward dog).
The workout coves all the basic power yoga poses: tree, triangle, reversed triangle, warrior 1,2, and 3, half moon, triangle, reversed triangle, chair pose, lunges, wheel, seated twists, bridge.
The first portion of the workout is standing poses, the last workout is seated work.
All in all, this is a solid power yoga workout that will work the entire body. However, there is nothing in this workout that really differentiates it from other power yoga workouts. If you already have a good power yoga dvd (Bryan Kest, Baron Baptiste, Beryl Bender Birch, Kristen McGee, etc) then this workout will not offer anything substantially different.

Personal Training with Jackie: Crunch-Free Xtreme Abs Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Jackie's Xtreme Abs is one tough, efficient workout! It will definately be incorporated into my weekly workouts. It is one of the best ab workouts I have done. The standing ab routine was a pleasant surprise. Usually, for standing abs, there is one move that I just can't stand (arms up to one side diagonal, repeater knees). Thankfully, Jackie only had this move in the warm up =) There were exercises that were new to me, which I appreciated.
The floor routine is a killer. Wow! I was struggling with this one, today...I am quite sore. This routine will be one that I keep in my weekly rotation. There are some movements that Madison (background talent) struggled with. Plus there is a funny moment where Jackie is talking about how much she loves the moves & she could do them all day....she was doing the move incorrectly. Those were just things that caught my attention. Just wanted to mention them because they were very obvious, and could be confusing because the form is off. Crunchless is a stretch for this, several of the exercises are modified crunches.
Jackie does explain proper form well, and reminds you the proper time to exhale. There is a modifier, Jericho, whose form is on target throughout. You will need a set of weights, and a mat. If you are modifying, you won't use weights. The floor workout has more drastic modifications, so I included what the modification were. In the standing workout, the modifier doesn't use weights. You work your core, abs, obliques, quads, arms.....great multi-functional workout.
There are two workouts, each around 16 minutes. You can choose to "play all". I did my best to break the workouts down. Please let me know if you have any questions, and I will do my best to answer them =)

Perfect Abs (2005) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I own just about every ab video/dvd out there. I got this one a few days ago, and I just did the first beginning ab bootcamp. It is great! The main things I like so far about this dvd are; 1. They don't fool around with 15 minutes of warm up. It is full on ab work beginning to end. 2. There is just as much work on the lower ab area (which I need the most), and that was just in the first segment. 3. There are six ab workouts, so I don't see myself getting bored in 2 months like I normally do.
I don't even know who has put this dvd out, but it is exactly what I was looking for, 100% ab work.

Jillian Michaels: 6 Week Six-Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I sat down & watched this workout to get familiar with it before I actually attempted it. I got tired just WATCHING! Jillian is amazing, as always! This workout is her best, and hardest, to date.
I did it for the first time yesterday...and I am SORE today! I'm in better shape than the average woman my age (45). This winter, I'm doing 2-a-day training sessions: working out with Jillian's various DVDs @ 4am before work, then running either at lunchtime on the treadmill in the gym at work or after I get home in the evening around my neighborhood. I also do a long run on the weekend. I've run 20+ races in the past 3 years, including 7 half marathons and 1 full marathon. I'm not an elite runner, by any means; I'm more of a middle-of-the-pack runner, but my point is that I work out all the time, I'm in really good shape, but this workout KICKED MY BUTT! I had to do the 'beginner version' of a lot of the exercises, though the girl doing the beginner modifications wasn't using a handweight. I did.
Oh, and don't be fooled just because it's called '6 week 6-pack.' You won't be laying on the floor doing crunches the whole time. As always, Jillian keeps it aerobic, working multiple muscle groups simultaneously. Your biceps, triceps, shoulders, chest, and back are going to feel the burn too because a lot of the exercises are done in plank, or some variation of plank.
I HIGHLY recommend this workout! Absolutely LOVE it! Yes, I'm sore from doing it yesterday...and yes, I'm doing it again tomorrow!
If you're a fan of Jillian's style, you will NOT be disappointed!
