8 minutes anywhere November 19, 2004

I give this short video a ton of credit. It was the perfect choice to kick off a fitness habit five years ago when my girlfriend introduced me to it: the right length to do every day, serious enough to produce results and campy enough to keep me in good humor. It's become an old, reliable friend. In order to keep it handy in my travels, I digitized the videotape so I could play it from my laptop -- then I extracted the audio so I could play it on my iPod! I'll probably still be playing it twenty years from now.

I used this video in High School weightlifting class, and remember hating it cause it actually made me work. (I used to mostly try hide out in the back of the class with my friends.)
A few years later, I had my daughter I decided to buy the tape for myself. I would use the tape for a couple months and then go off for a while. I did notice that when I used the tape my stomache was a lot harder than it was when I wasn't using it.
One thing I did notice is that this video seems to only work me in the middle section of my stomach. No matter what I would do I couldn't seem to get rid of my love handles, even though they were small, they seemed to want to stay. Though that could have been from having a baby and having my body change so much.
My tape had many uses for about 2 years when it quite working on me, it just wouldn't play in the vcr anymore. I did memorize the routine and was doing it that way until I got pregnant again, now I can't seem to remember exactly how it went so I've decided to upgrade to the DVD.
I would totally recomend this video to others, though I might suggest the dvd for better viewing if you can't memorize the tape yourself.
I hope you love it as much as I do!
FAST AND IT WORKS!!!! October 18, 2004

I have been exercising for about 2 years and began lifting weights about a year ago. I have lost a total of 22lbs and have maintained my present weight for the past year. However, I am not happy with my stomache.
I only weight 100 at 5'2" tall. I am happy with my weight but my abs are a problem. I began using this tape along with several other tapes (rotating each day) and it works. It only takes a few minutes a day and you will see results.
I also recommend Quick Fix Abs and Quick Fix Tight Abs; along with Firm Parts 5 day abs. All these tapes are less than 10 minutes. Most have 3-5 day segments so you can use the same tape for a few days. They are all good.
For a longer ab workout Winsor Pilates Ab Sculpting is good but it's 20 minutes. I try to do this one once a week.
Hope this review helps, I know I greatly appreciate all your reviews in helping me chose good videos.
Get That 6-Pack Back May 31, 2004

After reading through the comments for this video, I have to agree that this is the best ab workout I have found. I played sports throughout high school and college, but now that I've graduated, I find myself going to the gym less often. This video has helped put me back on my fitness schedule and I use it as motivation to get back into the gym. The video does go by fast and I'm already beginning to see the definition in my stomach come back again. If you're looking for a quick, effective program for your stomach, I couldn't recommend anything else.
Low quality video, but high quality exercise! May 9, 2004

I love 8 minute abs. It works, okay? A reviewer here complains "It just seems like this video was poorly made with amateur video equipment". Yeah. It isn't in THX or Dolby Digital either, so I guess the exercises suck. I need a sharp picture and surround sound to exercise my abs! He/She continues, "I have used the tape about 15 times and it is already showing signs of wear (i.e. ripples in the tape, as if the tracking were off)". After fifteen times I was more impressed by the ripples subtly appearing on my abdomen than the ones on the tape! There's nothing that burns like sitting up in a crunch to adjust the tracking on my VCR. :) Honestly, after using this for a small amount of time, what happens to the tape after repeated use is moot. Speaking for myself, I have the routine memorized and can do it without even bothering with the tape anymore. Can anyone else memorize an 8 minute routine after enough use, or is it just me? Another dude says "I really didn't notice any improvement in my ab department after a month and a half of use." How much blubber covers your abs? Do you diet well? Do you do other exercises or is "8 Minute Abs" the beginning and end of your workout? Anyone thinking this or ANY routine without a proper diet or fat burning routine (cardio) is going to miraculously make you look like the guy on the cover of the video is nuts. In conclusion, I have found 8 minute abs to be a quick, but powerful routine to apply to my overall workout and a high protein, low carb diet. The results are unquestionable and though the producer didn't spend a lot of money making the video, you don't have to spend a lot to buy it, so what's the problem? This is a very worthy routine for anyone who is serious about developing their abs, but smart enough to realize that it is not going to be the single reason for the results it helps you achieve. You won't find any tape here that will.
