Abs of Steel: Sculpting and Toning

I consider myself to be an intermediate-level exerciser. Because I have the "Sponge Bob Square Pants" gene of a thick tummy and back fat, I needed an extra something to add to my routine to hit my problem spots. I absolutely LOVE this video!!! It's best features are: 1) it offers several routines in short segments; 2) each segment has its own cool down; 3) the routines are not standard crunches and offer full range of motion for the antagonistic abdominal and back muscles. The short segments enable me to vary my ab routines; the cool downs enable me to exercise longer than if it the intensity were maintained; and the range of motion ensures that my problem areas are targeted. Also, difficult exercises (such as planks or bicycles) can be easily substituted with lower-level versions. Although I haven't been doing the DVD very often for very long, my ever-so-critical aunt said that she has noticed that my stomach is "coming in" just under my bustline. Moreover there are additional bonus routines for both abs and other body areas. This DVD is definitely a lot of bang for the buck!

I was really pleased with the abs of steel 4.I still love the first abs of steel,but this one was really different.It is 40 minutes of non stop ab work.Leisa Hart goes through a standing warm up and stretch then down to the floor for the abs.This workout targets nothing but the abs.So for you people who want a pure ab workout,this is it.This tape is good for beginner and advance levels.Leisa Hart adds a bonus 5 minute extra ab sequence using a chair for the ultra advanced people out there who want even more of a challenge.There is a cool-down at the end of the workout that relaxes and a stretch.Leisa Hart adds a another bonus after the workout an extra relaxation part that is about 5 minutes,It really makes you feel good.I think this tape should get even more than 5 stars,I think it is wonderful.I have been looking for something like this for a long time.Leisa Hart cues well and is very easy to understand.So for you people out there who are looking for a 40 minute video of straight hardcore ab work,this is it.Give It A Try

I read so many great reviews about this video that I was pretty excited about it whipping my abs into shape. It's still a good video but I was disappointed to discover how low key it is. I'm not an avid exerciser (haven't hit the gym in... 5 months?) but I basically end up spending the whole video making up my own variations to make it more intense. On the positive side, its segmented style makes it great if you only have 5 or 10 minutes to spend on your abs but if you want to do more or even the whole thing, the segments get annoying. They stop and do stretching and cool down for a few minutes in each segment and then it takes 30 seconds to switch to the next segment and you start all over again.

This DVD/ABS of Steel is for the younger generations. A little too fast for my age group. I will continue to do some of the exercises. Very good work-out DVD.

Great Video! This was a good work out video for times when you either had a lot of time or only a little bit. They broke it into sections so you could get a good workout in a half hour.

I used to have this workout video years ago but wore it out. Good workout, low impact, and works if you do it regularly.

This product came up when I searched for the original abs of steel with tamilee web - and her name came up in the search. This is the wrong video and I was not able to cancel it. If I liked it I wouldn’t be complaining. If I was able to cancel the purchase I wouldn’t be complaining. If there was a trailer to preview it I wouldn’t be complaining. Not one of my better purchases.

I have enjoyed using ABS of Steel. The workout is fun and easy to do. Good results already. I would reccommend it to others.
