5.0 out of 5 stars I wish she would update this program and sell it on DVD, March 7, 2010

This review is from: Body Flex 1 & 2 (VHS Tape)

I have rated this product with 5 stars because of the results I got from it.
I bought this workout set in 1998. It's 2010 and even after all these years, I find that Body Flex (The original program, not Body Flex+) is the fastest way for me to lose inches off my body.

Pros:

1. No dieting involved.

2. It's only 15 minutes long.

3. You see results almost every week, guaranteed. (In 1998 I lost an inch or more off my upper abs, lowers abs, waist and hips every week. 4+ inches total every week is an awesome result. I went from a 29 inch waist to a 24 inch waist in just 4 weeks.)

4. Makes you lose fat from your face and chin.

5. No equipment needed.


Cons:

1. You have to do it on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. (However, you can drink coffee or water before you exercise. For faster results you need an empty stomach.)

2. After the first week you have to do it twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the evening before dinner.

3. The exercises are funny to look at and you look funny doing it.

4. The breathing out part of the exercise can make you cough.

5. The exercise is noisy and if your walls are thin, you will be heard.

6. You cannot miss a day or you will not see results.


Things I realized:

In 1998 I had lost all those inches because I was determined and I never missed a workout.
You have to have that determined mindset in order reap the benefits of this unconventional exercise program.


Advise:
Exercise everyday on an empty stomach and measure your body every week.

The set I received came with a measuring tape and an instruction pamphlet that included a measuring chart.

The measuring chart has 5 columns. Upper Abs, Lower Abs, Waist, Hips, and Thighs. The inches suggested below are from the pamphlet.

Upper Abs is 3 inches above waist.
Waist is your natural waist.
Lower Abs is 2 inches below waist.
Hips is 6 inches from waist.
Thighs - measure the largest part. It is best to measure how many inches it is away from your thigh crease(where your hips met your thighs) that way you can measure the same area without error.

The measuring chart has no column for your arms, neck and calves, but you can add it to a homemade chart. My homemade chart includes:

Neck - I just measure around the middle of my neck.
Upper arms - measure 3 inches from elbow crease.
Forearms - measure from 2 inches from elbow crease.
Bracelet area - measure 1.5 inches from wrist crease.
Calves - measure 3.5 inches from the knee crease.
This is just an example. You of course can adjust the inches to make sure you are measuring the largest parts of these areas.

And the chart has rows of Week 0, Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4.

Week 0 is your first day. Measure right before you begin your workout.

Her instruction pamphlet said that for the first week do Body flex on an empty stomach in the morning. She also said that cutting back on red meat and drinking 8 glasses of water a day will help you lose more inches.

After the first week she advises to do Body Flex in the evenings as well, before eating dinner. ( When you eat, blood goes to your stomach and digestive system. She wants you to work out on an empty stomach so there is more blood to rush to the areas being worked out.)

Like Greer says, the tape measure doesn't lie. Seeing the proof of your results really does help motivate you to do Body Flex every day and will help you achieve your ideal body mass.

This review is from: Body Flex 1 & 2 (VHS Tape)

I have purchased this set of tapes from HSN, a while ago and I am glad that I did. Yes, it does sound and look funny...but it worked for me and countless other losers of inches. I used to do the weights and cardio thing. Now, I'd rather BodyFlex, etc. I encourage everyone to read Greer's book: Be A Loser!, for it explains how BodyFlex works. Thanks Greer for sharing your BodyFlex workout with us, for it has changed my life and others as well!

This review is from: Body Flex 1 & 2 (VHS Tape)

I purchased this product when it first came out in 1993. I didn't really get the hang of it, and put it in the closet. After 2 pregnancies I got it out and gave it an honest try. I did it 2x per day for 12 weeks and lost a total of 45 inches. I went from a size 24 to a size 16. Unfortunatly I got pregnant again and had to stop. I gained almost 80 pounds during the last pregnancy, but only went back up to a size 20. I have started again, and I am on my second week and have lost 8 1/2 inches. I have tried everything else, including going to the gym for 2 hours a day, and this has been the only thing that has worked for me. I also follow a high fiber diet,(30 or more grams per day) I can't say enough about it, it really works.
