5.0 out of 5 stars Quick, Fun and Reliable, October 7, 2000

By	William Holmes "semloh2287" (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I've been using this video for about three months, and my abs are definitely tighter. For some reason, though, I still don't look like either of the two guys in the video--maybe that happens in the fourth month.

Anyway, I've really enjoyed the tape and I highly recommend it to others. My first workout left me with a good tight feeling in my stomach, even though the exercises didn't seem all that hard to do.

The main virtue of the tape is that it's short and simple: when other demands of life keep me from the gym, I can still pop the tape into the VCR and feel like I haven't lost too much ground.

I also like the tone of the instructor. I've used some other workout tapes (e.g., The Firm), but the dulcet tones of the exercise leaders and the coded aerobics language that they use make me feel like I'm being assimilated into a Fitness Cult. Brinkus is more like that jock you knew in high school who turned out to be a pretty nice guy after all--his instructions are plain, simple and well paced, without jargon but spiced with a "hey,gang" kind of enthusiasm. Even those not used to exercise will find this tape fairly easy to get into.

5.0 out of 5 stars ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!!, September 12, 1999

By A Customer

This is absolutely the best abdominal workout I have ever tried. I am a fitness specialist by trade and recommend this video to all my clients. Try it and you won't believe how complete of a workout you can get in 8 minutes versus all that time you've wasted year after year trying dozens of different routines that never produced the results you desired.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this video - You won't be sorry!, January 26, 2000

By A Customer

I bought 8 Minute Abs after my first child was born it worked great to tone my tummy muscles back into shape. I used it again after my second child and again it is doing the trick. I tried machines at the gym but didn't get as good of a workout. My husband who is a body builder does the video with me and we recommend it to all our friends.
