User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great Intro Workout
I love all of these workouts. Great instructor. The music is fun and the setting is very appealing. It is so much fun that you don’t notice how hard your body is working. It is is a good introductory workout that will get results.

4 Stars Enough Variety
I use a lot of different work out tapes and have incorparated this into my weekly routine and I really like both workouts and you can mix and match…

2 Stars so-so
As far as a workout goes, it’s pretty similar to all the other Abs Diet workouts (including women’s) so if you’re looking to change up your routine, pick something else that’s more fun. Also, the main instructor guy does not have all of his stuff together. He seems almost lost throughout most of it. One good thing about this DVD though is that it has options for a 3-day, 4-day, 5-day, and 6-day routine which is great. But in hindsight, I should have chosen something else.

5 Stars one of the best HIIT segments
a great baseline dvd that doesn’t involve extraneous moves and simple enough for routine use.. you WILL burn calories and run like a rabbit outside because of this conditioning, buy it and don’t judge it from the other abs 1 dvd which is so-so

4 Stars Challenging
I think this is a excellent workout for an advanced workout. It is very challenging. You really need to be dedicated to stick to it. My only complaint is that it is dry. There is no personality in the trainer, no music, nothing to make it fun to help you get through it.

4 Stars By comparing over 10 abs books, I concluded…
I purchased about 10 books from Amazon on abs in order to compare them. This one is unique for recommending different routines for people who have the different goals of fitness, strength, or power. The idea of strength vs. power workouts was a late 90s fad in sports training, which isn’t to say it was wrong, but you won’t find any chapter here called “Wellness: The Big Picture,” like you will in one of the books published in 2006. If you want to know how these compare, here are my conclusions…

If You Want to Trim Your Waistline: You can’t trim your waistline without losing fat, and you can’t lose fat around your waist without losing it everywhere (focusing on a muscle group like the abdominal muscles doesn’t burn fat in that location, just a little bit of fat from everywhere on the body). So, if you want to trim your waistline, skip the ab workout books and go with a good, proven overall weight loss and fitness book like Bill Phillips’ Body for Life. The Abs Diet is a similar program, but like all the Men’s Health publications, it advertises a 6-week transformation, which is just a little unrealistic. Plan on more like 12-24 weeks to see really noticeable changes if you are fat.

If You Want Sculpted Six-Pack Abs: If you are overweight at all, see above–you can’t get a six pack while you’re overweight, and you can’t lose abdominal fat by doing an ab workout, so go for overall fitness. However, if you are already lean, see below.

If You Want to Strengthen or Build Your Ab Muscles: If you’re trying to improve for work, play, or rehab, you might consider the following books: The Body Sculpting Bible for Abs Deluxe DVD Edition contains decently up-to-date information and tells you exactly what to do and when to do it, based on a six-week fitness course. If you’re looking for a similar book with more information, you can choose from The Complete Book of Abs or The Complete Book of Core Training. The Complete Book of Abs (1998) is a little out of date in terms of its dietary/nutritional recommendations, but it focuses more on exercises that develop the external abdominal muscles (the ones you see in a six-pack), including lots of variations on leg lifts, bicycle motion, and sit-ups. It will also give you more resources for creating your own program, and, if that’s what you want to do, go with this one instead of The Body Sculpting Bible. The Complete Book of Core Training (2006) focuses more on the functional body core, including internal abdominal muscles, legs, etc., and includes more trendy exercises using medicine balls, exercise balls, yoga, etc. A different sort of book is Stronger Abs and Back (1997), which was written before the current fad of selling “core training,” but contains the elements of core training because it gives good functional sports-focused advice. Its dietary recommendations are out of date, but it recommends a 24-week workout plan, which is much more realistic than the 6-week plans advocated by many of the other books.

If You Have Back Pain: See your doctor, and if he prescribes abdominal/core strengthening, see above.

My one-book recommendation: Body for Life.

My two-book recommendation: Body for Life + Stronger Abs and Back.

My three-book recommendation: Body for Life + Stronger Abs and Back + The Complete Book of Abs.

My four-book recommendation: Body for Life + Stronger Abs and Back + The Complete Book of Abs + The Abs Diet.

Hope this helps!!

3 Stars Liked it but not sure if the knowledge provided is up to date with latest research
Cons: The Abs part is good but did not find much help for strengthening weak lower backs. Also it might be a bit out of date as many modern routines encourage the use of gym balls. So sometimes feel confused if doing ab exercises on floor is more beneficial or on gym balls/inclines.

Pros: Explained in a scientific and logical manner. Also has routines. Would suggest reading it.

4 Stars Exercises for a stronger core
The book contained everything I needed to work on toning my core muscles without injuring myself. It explains what muscles the exercises work, the correct sequence in which to do the exercises and why. Stretching and cool down exercises are included.

5 Stars Great item
This item arrived in great shape, and was shipped quickly.

I have never been dissappointed when buying from Amazon.

5 Stars Excellent book
This is an excellent book which has plenty of very good illustrations of the exercises for back and abdominal stretching and strengthening. It is thorough and comprehensive, and far better than some of the “fad” abdominal books currently on the market.

5 Stars Eat Less.
Book came fast and in great condition. Whether the diet book it self is good – well, eat less and exercise – and you will lose weight.

4 Stars Abs Diet book
The book was delivered in a timely manner and was in perfect condition. I would make a purchase again from this seller.

5 Stars Awesome Abs Diet!
My son recommended this to me when I told him that I’d recently been diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. I took about a week to read it, and now I’m finishing up Week 2 of using the “diet.” I’ve tried lots of diet/health plans over the years and yoyoed…badly. I found the book to be VERY WELL written and I find this program VERY easy to follow. I’m already feeling better. I highly recommend it!

3 Stars Haven’t I read this before?
Caveat: I haven’t read the book.

I HAVE reviewed the principles of this diet, however, on the Men’s Health website. My initial reaction was that this seems to be a diet plan that was derived from the Oz / Roizen book, “You: On a Diet”. So much of what this book recommends are the same as those that were outlined in very clear detail by Oz / Roizen, right down to the cheating and the use of nuts as an integral part of the program.

I must also add that having “six-pack abs” is indeed a function of desirable genetics, and a lack of belly fat. This book should help with the latter, but only providence could help the former. Admittedly, this book promises to help you flatten your belly – now THAT almost everyone can do.

3 Stars The Abs Diet
It arrived in good condition. It has good helpful information, its just a matter of apply it.
