So has anyone ever tried Hip Hop Abs? OMG my friend Kristin and I tried it today and it was a hoot! I'm gonna give it a honest try but I'm not sure I'm coordinated enough to move like that. Do you really need to move like they do in the video to get results?

    I have them, and I really like em'. I don't know exactly how to log them so I put them under the circuit training. I find myself breathing better because of it. Happy Cardio!

    I love the guy who does them. He just has a good voice/attitude that keeps me amused through the whole video. (vs other videos were all you want to do is make the person stop talking lol).

    I haven't used them seriously enough to comment how good of a work out they are. I know my HRM says I burn a lot, and I don't move as good as they do in the video (more like flailing around) so that must be good right. lol

    Even "mistakes" burn calories - so just have fun with the workouts! The more you do them, the better you'll get at the moves.

    Thanks for the advice. I'm gonna give it a try but just not sure how my back will hold up. Got up this am and my lower back was kind of sore. I have had issues with my back recently and need to make sure I don't hurt it again.
