4.0 out of 5 stars Good workout, easy to follow, June 11, 2000

This review is from: Abs & Chest of Steel [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a good chest and ab workout. You do not get bored because the instructor alternates between sets of chest work and sets of ab work. The only problem with the workout is the instructor does not count out all of the reps out loud. This makes it harder to keep the same pace as the instructor because you cannot look at the tv while doing pushups. This is not really a big issue though. Overall, this is a very good fitness video.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good workout, June 10, 2000

This review is from: Abs & Chest of Steel [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a very challenging workout. You do not get bored because it is relatively short and it alternates between sets of ab work and sets of chest work. The only very minor complaint I have with the video is that the instructor does not count all of the reps out loud. This is a problem when you are doing the chest work such as pushups and you cannot look at the tv in order to keep pace with the instructor. After a few times doing the video you can figure out the pace pretty good though.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Workout, September 1, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Abs & Chest of Steel [VHS] (VHS Tape)

While I rarely do this workout anymore, each time I do, I'm amazed at how effective it is. If you're a beginner, this is for you. If you're advanced, you can do it too. (Just don't laugh when he says you'll need dumbbells "at least eight pounds." Grab your 45, 50, 60 lb dumbbells if you're advanced and just follow along, though you will need to drop down to a lower weight for tricep sequence) Perron's instruction here is very clear. He walks you through what you're supposed to do, and prompts you from time to time to pull in your stomach and keep your wrists steady. His one flaw is that at one point here he tells you he's not going to finish counting along with you. Compare that to Gilad Janklowicz who will tell you "Only eight more" and then counts down and then tricks you into doing another set of eight while enjoying it. I'm not sure why one viewer said the ab exercises are too tough for beginners, you just have to keep doing this until you get used to it, like any routine. This is a very effective and quick workout for your pecs, tris, and abs.
