5.0 out of 5 stars A good supplement to the book, September 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Beyond Crunches [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I found the video to be very useful and a great addition to the book. As an earlier reviewer stated, seeing the actual exercises performed versus just reading about them, made it much clearer. I have been working at the program for just over a month and I am very impressed. Yes, it is abit on the expensive side, but I believe it is worth it. You "will" see results.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hello Abs!, January 14, 2002

This review is from: Beyond Crunches [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I am new to the fitness game. The whole of my abdominal training in the past consisted of crunches and leg raises. Pavel's methods of training first came to my attention through his work on Russian Kettlebell lifting and from there I moved on to Beyond Crunches. The video covers the ... Janda situp, proper use of an Ab wheel, a Bruce Lee favorite the Dragon Flag, the Saxon side bend and several other cruel abdominal exercises for your pleasure. For the first time in my life I can see my stomach muscles and that is what really matters! I would recomend the video over the book to beginners, more advanced people may do just fine with the book, which is also excellent. Pavel did not invent the exercises, nor does he attempt to reinvent the wheel here, what he has done is to sort through mess of exercise history and bring forward some of the best techinques to build your Bullet Proof Abs.

That's what Pavel teaches. Forget about the Pavelizer for a second (I'm sure Flabby Abbys can't do a Janda sit-up), the video shows exercises I never saw before, except for the wheel. The Saxon Side Bend? Full Contact Twists? Awesome movements painful in their simplicity. I've stopped doing crunches and have begun doing Dragon Flags, what a movement. Well worth the [money]. And the Ab Pavelizer? Don't need it if you have a partner. But, since I don't, I have one, and I'm glad I do. My abs are harder, tighter than ever. No mistakes, Pavel is the man!
