Fun but gets old Fast (2008-08-26)
I purchased this item after seeing it on infomercials for more than a year. So I finally buckled and purchased it based on the great reviews on Amazon. Here's my take:

PROS: Shaun T is so energetic and enthusiastic that it's actually entertainably laughable. I did these work outs with my sister and male cousin and we spent our first experience with Shaun T laughing. He's truly over the top.

So after the initial trial, we got better at the dance routine and got into the flow of things. It was truly fun to do, and yes it does give you a work out and makes you sweat.

The videos are all really easy to follow along with. Even a person with absolutely no dancing skills (my male cousin) could do it and find some rhythm.

Finally, for the sheer fact that this video gets you off your butt and doing SOMETHING, I give it kudos. If this is what's going to spark some kind of interest in working out, then so be it.

CONS: My BIGGEST frustration with this was the music. First of all it is not hip hop. It is really slow pop music. To top it off, it is low. For some reason Shaun T's voice and the music never find a balance. Either the music engulfs Shaun T's voice or vice versa. Plus I had to put my television's volume to full blast to even hear the music decently (and yes I selected the "Louder" portion on my dvd).

These workouts get old really quick. After about 2 weeks I couldn't stand doing this anymore. It was no longer fun, and I was no longer sweating as much as I did. My body adjusted to the workouts too easily. There was no weightloss after those two weeks either.

And finally... the price. Are you kidding me?? NOT WORTH $120+ No way. Buy it used, or get it on Ebay. I found my entire package there (original) for half the price.

I Love Hip Hop ABS (2008-08-25)
I have been struggling to get my weight under control for the past three years. Running on the beach , diet pills and gyms, you name it. Not only was I concerned about the change in my body but my energy level was pathetic.
One day I was watching a local shopping channel and they were advertising HIp Hop Abs , since I am dance fan it caught my attention. I just started imitating the Tilt Tuck Tighten moves I saw advertised on the TV (much to my husbands viewing pleasure)and within a week I began to see a change! This is absolutely true !My tummy started to get flatter and I didn;t even have the DVD yet!
I checked it out on Amazon.Com and ordered AB Sculpt, Fat Burning Cardio and Total Body Burn , for 1/2 the price advertised locally. Within a week I was working out with Shaun T and I haven't stopped since. It's been 6 months and my whole body has changed and people remark and ask me what diet I'm on! Hip Hop Abs targets all my problem areas , legs thighs , tummy and arms . I feel like a new woman . I have so much energy now that I recently took up lawn tennis as a hobby !
The great thing about Hip Hop Abs is that it's fun , the time goes by and you don't realise it because you don't do any one move too long to get bored with it.

i gave this product a four only because you really do get a workout from it. otherwise, i would have rated it three. the music really isnt hip hop at all and i didnt really like it. the moves are very effective but very little in number. in other words, i really wished there were more moves. most of the workouts repeated themselves. other than that the dvd is fun. shaun is great i love him. i will be purchasing the part two to this set and most likely the dance series. hopefully that will have better music and more moves. im not sure tho if i want to purchase his rockin body set.

Just received the DVD today and did my first workout. I'm a bit sore but had lots of fun doing the 30min fat-burning cardio. Some people on the web complain about Shaun T being irritating - I love his style! His enthusiasm is infectious and he looks GORGEOUS! His instructions are clear and motivating. I particularly liked the fact that there was a count-down timebar on the bottom of the screen so that I could keep an eye on how much longer I needed to exercise. And did I mention that Shaun T is pure eye-candy? :)

LOVE IT! (2008-06-30)
I own the whole series! Was a bit pricey but defiantly worth the money! I had my daughter 12-3 was cleared to exercise on 2-1 and have lost 40lbs since starting this work out! Shaun T is fun and very amusing! You will not get tired of this workout and will see results fast! I would recommend this series to anyone looking to get in shape! It is a must have to add to your work out collection!
