AWESOME! This video is PERFECT for an athlete looking for a great ab routine. I've talked body builders into trying it (the kind who do 800 crunches a day) and it totally wipes them out. Fit it in just once a week to your fitness and diet program and you WILL see results!
This is the best workout I've ever did Except for my back pains. I just started yesterday and I can really feel my abs and butt getting stronger. But my back is really killing me. Maybe a pillow under it will help.
tae bo on crack? this workout plays as if it's on fast-forward, down to the music which literally sounds like a cassette tape that's playing in fast mode. and the music has to be the most godawful workout soundtrack i have ever heard! having said that, if you do not want to risk pulling a back muscle, try doing the workout at a slower pace. the ab work is good and works the whole group of muscles BUT there is simply no need to go at that breakneck pace. advanced doesnt mean it has to be faster.
Extremely fast-paced This was my first Tae-bo tape and had had concerns, since I hardly ever enjoy fast-paced workouts and I usually hate to be shouted at through the TV screen. Now, even though it IS fast-paced and the instructor IS yelling at me like crazy, I still love it. :o) Combining some of the old-time favorite abs and glutes exercises with new variations AND speed results in a short workout that proves to be real effective. I hardly ever find tapes that leave me feeling the burn afterwards; now, after doing this one for the first time, I could hardly move for two days! I'm not saying it is necessary for a workout to be effective nor is it necessarily good, but it will definitely keep me inspired, since I feel like "good, so I HAVE done some serious work". Having said all that I would like to explain why I've still given this tape only 4 stars. There ARE a few reasons. First of all, they lose count several times, thus completing a few sets more times on one side than the other, sometimes even forgetting some. Also, don't expect very detailed cues, which might mean wrong moves that will either cause poorer results or actually even the opposite of what you're trying to achieve. My last concern is also connected to this: those of you that mainly want to lose some fat on the abs AND then tone them, might actually realize that their abs are GROWING instead of TONING - this workout is VERY tough on abs and even though you'll be sweating like crazy (at least I am :o)), you'd better include some serious cardio in your routine and follow a healthy diet, because this tape alone will not melt away the fat on the abs.
Love it, love it, love it. I have done at least more than 15 Abs or buns workout tapes over the years. This is the best!
I have gained 43 lbs with my 2nd baby. With this tape, the pounds just melted away in just 2 months of workout. Last time with my 1st child, it took one year! This time, I didn't even have to starve from dieting. Just keep a low carb, high fiber diet. I alternate this tape with another one of Tae-bo's Advanced workout. With 2 little kids, I only manage to work out 4 times a week.
I was in a wedding and saw a lot of people I haven't seen for a while. People were amazed how fast I lost the pregnancy weight. The compliments I got is worth EVERY single SWEATING Tae-Bo minute.
