i exercise frequently and am in pretty good shape. i bought this dvd to just give myself something extra to do on days i don't want to go to the gym.
surprisingly enough, i actually do feel a slight burn at the end of the segment. the dvd's strategy is to work your abs nonstop.
what i love about this dvd is the bonus material, which i end up using more then the ab portion. there's this tae-bo kickboxing segment (kai-bae) that i do regularly. it tends to exercise one side more, so i compensate by starting with the opposite side each time i do it.
i'd say this is an alright dvd. i recommend getting it if all you want is a quick and mild ab workout. i can see how over time it can strengthen your abs. but if you want something more hard core, this is not the one.
great body if you stick to it
I like the video because it is short and sweet. It targets the right areas and does what it promises. But you have to stick to it to get results.
Abs Workout
I bought the 8 Minute Ab tape about 5 years ago and wore it out. I purchased the :08 min Abs and Arms DVD and am thoroughly enjoying the exercises. They're short and sweet BUT REALLY WORK!!!
If you are serious about getting in shape but you don't have a lot of time then I definitely recommend these routines, especially when you include Abs & Arms. Unless you are already in excellent shape you will definitely feel the burn, in a good way. After about a month and a half I definitely notice the difference, I can now complete the leg workout non-stop, and can hold my own during the bun workout. I alternate days of these isolated workouts and some sort of cardio work, so my results are probably going to take longer than those more dedicated to these particular workouts.

If you're like me and like to feel a bit sore after a tough work out, this is the one to get. I've tried numerous aerobic videos and they are either way too cheesy or way too easy for my level. Yes, a couple of the women on this video are a little too "cheerleaderish" for me but most aren't that distracting. And after you do it over and over like I have, you can fast forward through the brief sections with the annoying girls and get to the meat of the video and burn.
I've been using this video for a year now and yes, I've really seen the difference. I tried Taibo, Pilates, and othe workout videos but if you want a sculpted look, this is the video to get. I've always had strong legs but weak girly arms and wanted them to look a bit more toned--not GI Jane looking but...

While the 80's outfits may be distracting, the video packs a solid punch in 8 minutes. Its a great way to get in a solid Abs or Arms workout without having to go to the gym. There are no other videos out there that are short and quick like this one without wasting a lot of time on warm ups and stretching.

The instructor is very 80's cheesy, but the workout is pretty intense, so it's pretty easy to tune him out. This workout will definately have you "feelin' it" the next day. I am an extremely lazy and undedicated person. Somehow, I don't mind doing this every day for 8 minutes. Sometimes I even do more than one of the workouts. They are all pretty intense. Good product for your money. You won't regret buying this. More Info about this DVD Actor(s): Jamie Brenkus DVD Release Date: Released the 01 August 2005 Usually ships in 24 hours

While Dave Sinclair's promises of shaping arm muscles may be overstated, his exercises are solid in this 35-minute arm and shoulder workout. The buff infomercial pitchman leads four women in a three-part routine aimed specifically at females. After a five-minute warm-up, Sinclair starts with the deltoids, demonstrating three sets of shoulder presses, lateral raises, and bent-over lateral raises at 15 repetitions each. Then it's on to the triceps with kickbacks, overhead extensions, and reverse dips. The biceps and forearms get attention with three types of curls: basic, concentration, and hammer. After power grips, it's time for a four-minute warm-down with isometric poses and more stretches. This is an easy-to-follow but strenuous arm supplement to any workout. Although Sinclair says...
