This program is great for the person who has a job, family, chores and all those things that come with reality. Unlike the The Firm program and other exercise machines, it doesn't take a lot of time, corridation, money, or space. I have been doing this fitness DVD video for several months now and have noticeable results.

The best part is you can pick and choose what you want to work on. ANd you can do it based on time within your day. My main goal was ABS. After I got a good routine with the Abs I began adding and rotating between Arms, Buns, and Legs. Now I do two 8min workouts and one of the bonus 20 minute workout 5 days a week. My favorite is the Basic Step Program. It hits the main areas, easy to follow and it is only 20 minutes.

Great DVD at an exceptional value.

I have been using these videos on and off for over ten years and have alway had great results. Not for the hardcore bodybuilder, obviously... But if you want to develop stamina, strength, tone up and lose those extra pounds, 8 minutes a day is the way to go. Sure the video is dated 80's style ... but who cares, your working out right?

One tip for those doing the exercises (especially the abs), it is easy to cheat, so if you doing the workout and you dont feel the burn, try harder to isolate the muscle and go slower, then you'll surely feel it!!

Best Wishes and Good Luck!!!

When I first bought this dvd, I was very sceptical.Well I was definately wrong. I feel great! I have a 2 year old son and there is no way I can do workouts longer than 10 minutes without stopping. There are extra aerobics workouts in the dvd that are 5 to 20 minutes long for beginners or advance. I have been using this everyday and after a few weeks I could tell a big difference in the way I feel and look. You can choose which section of your body that you want to work on. And again it only takes 8 minutes long for each section of your body. I do a couple of sections in the morning, then a couple in the afternoon. I haven't gotten tired of using this dvd everyday yet. It's a real motivator. This product is definately a must for people like me who wants to start to get in shape and lose weight.

The instructor is very 80's cheesy, but the workout is pretty intense, so it's pretty easy to tune him out. This workout will definately have you "feelin' it" the next day. I am an extremely lazy and undedicated person. Somehow, I don't mind doing this every day for 8 minutes. Sometimes I even do more than one of the workouts. They are all pretty intense. Good product for your money. You won't regret buying this.

I've had this set back when it was on VHS. I admit, the people on it look silly, and it's pretty cheesy, but I do get results when using this. It's eight minutes of intense, targeted toning. When you're doing them, it might not seem like it's working, but the next day, you will feel it. You will have to do your own warmups and cooldowns. My husband was pretty skeptical that these would work, but after seeing my results, he bought the DVD version. I own many other fitness videos, but I always come back to the 8 Minute workout.

I love this workout ~ It actually changed my life ... and my body!

Each workout is only 8 minutes and each movements is only 45 secondes so it is not long enough to suffer or to get bored.

I mostly do the abs workout but I can tell you that in only a few weeks my stomach is flatter.

I do it every morning, it is short enough that I don't feel like a commitment to get up just a few minutes earlier to do it.

I could go on and on about this program ... it is just great!!!

Though these exercises are done in just 8 minutes, I've seen a difference, especially from "Buns," in just three weeks of twice/week (my muscles needed three days recovery time at first). The teacher leaves warm-up/cool down/stretch to you; include two to five minutes of stretch afterwards so you don't cramp. Even so, you're done inside 15 minutes - easy to get in to your day. Freely use the pause button until you can zip between exercises like he does. Only flaw: the teacher babbbles the entire time and still under-emphasizes the importance of tight abs throughout every exercise. Best thing besides the speed: the automatic counter. You can do anything for 30 seconds! You will see a difference.

WOW! This one is so cheesy, I could eat it with crackers. Once you get past that, though, this is a great workout. I like that its short, but intense. You can do just one or all of the sets. I didn't like that the DVD is two-sided, but that's my only real complaint. I really recomend this for anyone who doesn't always have alot of time (or, like me, motivation). It's quick, easy and I definately felt the 'burn'.

For a person who is constantly busy, this is perfect. I am a stay at home mom and let me tell you it is hard going to the gym. My husband is in the military and we are currently in england. He is gone and I am at home by myself, therefore really no time at all to do much of anything, even cleaning is a chore. So during my son's naps I take the 8-24 minutes to do my workout depending on what I want to do that day, after I am done I still have time to straighten up the house before I have a 2 year old all over me. I use to do the firm but it just got old and took up too much of my time, this is perfect. I really feel the burn and still do. You can start off slow and work your way up. I have been doing this for a week and I am hooked because I can at least get one workout in a day if not more. Just awesome for the on the go person.

Let me start by saying I am NOT a fan of exercise videos. Usually they're cheesy and after you watch them you realize you could have done the exercises on your own. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the 8-Minute Fitness program was VERY instructional and REALLY gives you a good, intense yet brief workout.

I actually bought this for my wife and daughter, but I ended up doing it and I enjoy it more than they do! You will definitely work your body without devoting a lot of time. Too early to see any results yet, but it sure FEELS like it's doing the trick.

As in most workout videos, the leader is a little TOO perky and the program seems a little dated, but if you can overlook that, I would definitely recommend it.
