DVD : The Abs Diet Workout, Vol. 2 |
- Great workout!I really like this workout DVD and it's one of the ones I use consistently. Its offers great all around exercises for the whole body. Even though it's a little tough, it's fairly short and sweet.
Rating:
- Have introductions/descriptions elsewhere, pleaseGood workout, with an instructor who cues well. Countdowns for the timed segments. Some beginner modifications.
What I didn't like:
When you have a separate intro section, and this DVD does, introduce your fellow exercisers there, not in the workout segments. You get tired of hearing the intros each and every time. Same with the workout breakdown/technique explanations/equipment required, do it elsewhere, so that you're not just standing there wasting time.
Warning to those who don't like high-impact cardio, this DVD has some, and little in the way of modifications. Wouldn't be quite so bad if it were done on grass or a mat or carpet. I wish people would remember that "aerobic" doesn't necessarily have to be rough on the joints.
3.5 stars.

- Short but effectiveThis is a very versatile DVD. When I'm short on time, I'd pick this one because when I'm done, I'd truly feel that I had a good workout. On cardio day, I'd do the Speed Interval training on my rebounder so it would be easier on my knees and on strength training day, I'd do the Advanced Abs followed by the Muscle Toning routine. I use the warm up portion from this DVD and I just add a little more stretching on my own at the end. The Muscle Toning part where you'd have your arms above your head while doing squats for 90 seconds was VERY challenging. During the first round, I had 5 lb dumbbells on each hand and I almost didn't finish it so the second time around, I used 3 lb dumbbells and I was breathing hard after 90 seconds. I'd be sore the next day or 2 after doing this routine...Highly recommend this DVD. It's short but very effective in my opinion.

- Pleasantly SurprisedVery good and challenging workout, also the dvd is very flexible you're able to pick out how many days a week you want to workout 3,4,5, or 6. You can even make up you own workouts. I'm a advance exerciser, and this workout challenged me! both the circuit, and speed interval (also know as HIIT) I've never found a HIIT workout on a dvd.(HIIT mean high intensity interval training). I found the ab portion really good the dvd had two seprate workouts for the abs, both beginner/intermediate and advance. The only negatives no variety, the same warm up is used for all the workouts, and the warm up is kinda boring, and it didn't have a cool down on the circuit weight part, and the cool down on the HIIT part was way too short for such an intense cardio workout. So you'll have to do your own strecthing at the end. That being said I really, really like this workout

- Good, but not for meI was initially taken by the aerobic interval training workout on this DVD. I was like nothing that I had done before and, after doing workouts (Firm) for years that didn't stress high-impact aerobics, I welcomed the change. However, after continued workouts, all of the jumping negatively affected my knees and joints. Also, it seemed inefficient to me to have separate heavy weight, abdominal, and aerobic workouts; why not have a workout that combines them all? Well, the (classic) Firm workouts combine heavy weight, aerobic and abdominal work in a variety of highly effective offerings. So, I am back to my Firm workouts and will hand this DVD off to someone who will fully appreciate it.
