08 Minute Core Workouts: Abs, Arms, Thighs, Buns & Stretch (DVD, 2007)

College has turned me into a vegetable. I am using this program in order to regain my endurance without hurting myself. The workouts and the stretch are not too long, and they’re effective. Eight minutes with two counters at the bottom, left and right, of the screen, the time flies by. “08 Minute Core Workouts” guides me through short routines, which I can fit into my schedule for any day. The dvd definitely has editing problems. Some of the frame to frame timing is not exactly correct. Just the same, I like the overall premise. I intend to keep this system as part of my workout repertoire.

This is overall, a great workout video. I've been using it since I purchased it and the results are fantastic! It is difficult at first, especially if you're not used to abdominal exercises. But once you start to improve, you'll notice results. The range of body exercises are also great. Could care less for the stretch, and buns section, but fortunately you can skip this part and select from a convenient drop down menu. I would recommend it to anyone who desires better physical fitness and rock hard abs! Stick with it and you'll see. You won't be disappointed.

This is an awesome workout video. Nice that the instructor shows 3 levels of how to do each exercise so you can work your way into an advanced pose. And with each set being 8 minutes, you can put it into any daily routine!!

There are five separate :08 minute workouts on the video with chapters broken into Arms, Legs, Abs, Thighs, Buns, and Stretch to choose from. Each workout is demonstrated at beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels so the beginner viewer is not intimidated and the veteran can still get some challenge. Each workout(chapter) is over in exactly 8 minutes and has between 9 to 24 exercises to perform - so try to keep up! I like that the workout is quick and reasonably simple to follow after watching it a few times. Even if you feel awkward at first, the chapter is over in 8 minutes so you are not tortured and give up. It makes you want to try it again.

This DVD is absolutely perfect for people who want to get some exercise but don't have a lot of time. You can choose one of the 8 minute sessions, or do them all in a row for a complete workout.

It's also great if you want to target one or two problem areas. I do only the abs and arms, and I can really see results after only a couple of weeks.

The moves are super easy, no complicated dance moves like the usual workout DVDs.

I highly recommend this DVD!!
