Hip Hop Abs anyone?

betheranne

I have a friend who is a Beach Body rep, and she shared some information about this workout with me.

I found it on Craigslist and I LOVE IT! I love the energy of the workouts, and man, do I sweat with it!

I'm kind of a beginner, and she did say it might not be challenging for people who have a higher level of fitness.

I've actually started getting up at 4 a.m. to workout before work because I just love starting the day with that burst of energy.

I started out with Hip Hop Abs... I still do it every now and then, but I have to do something else, because it isn't enough of a workout anymore...
Its cool..... take notes about how you feel now doing Hip Hop Abs...and as you progress and get stronger and build your endurance, you will see a huge improvement!!!
I started doing 30 Day Shred and decided Monday, that I would take a break from the Shred and do my Fat Burning Cardio (hip hop abs).... I did it and it was a total eye opener... I got through it without even feeling "winded".... and I even had to add another exercise DVD in there :laugh: It used to really poop me out by itself... So, its really encouraging to gage your progress on your endurance.
Hip Hop Abs is really fun!! I like Shaun T...
He has another DVD out called Insanity. I would like to check it out one of these days...
Stick with your Hip Hop Abs and slowly add some other stuff to it.... You will see an improvement :happy:

I love Shaun T... he makes me giggle.
I am currently doing ChaLEAN Extreme but on occasion for an extra boost I sometimes toss him in.
It is a real mood lifter.

I really want to get the Chalean Extreme, but it is so expensive.

I have the hip hop abs and I love it.

I also have several of the 10 minute solutions, which I do 4 of the 10 minute segments for a total of 40 minutes (my favorite is the pilates)

I also have all of the Billy Blanks Tae Bo.

LOVE ChaLEAN Extreme, it was so worth the money!
I haven't lost weight per say but looking at my muscle tone, it's amazing!

You're results have been AWESOME!
I am curious what kind of workout you do at the gym for 30 minutes to get those results.
I am gonna end up missing some of my program due to a returning soldier and being out of state and need something I can do anywhere.

I love Hip Hop Abs! I have both Level 1 and Level 2. Level 2 is tough, I still struggle with that one. Lots of jumping I get about the same calorie burn with that one as any other cardio (including Jillian) that I do. It's amazing! I got mine on Amazon for a pretty good price!

I love HHA. I have Level 1 & Level 2 also. I do the level 2 exclusively since I let someone borrow level 1 and they messed it up. (Always make back ups of your dvds). It is still a good low/moderate cal burn for me. It makes you feel good.

I have Hip Hop abs, but I'm waiting until I'm in a little better shape to do it! I felt sick the last time I tried doing it. :laugh:

I sometimes wonder if I'm doing the "tuck, tilt, tighten" method correctly.

I'm sweating. It is a high-energy workout for me, but my abs seldom feel like they've done any work.

I have noticed that when I do HHA I have to REALLY mentally focus on the moves and even then I usually don't feel it in my abs til the next day... then I am sick to my stomach! :laugh:

One more question: I bought my DVDs from Craigslist, so while I have the entire set, I don't have the suggested workout schedule that comes with it.

I found this on the Internet:

Does that look accurate? Does anyone still have the suggested workout plan? I do well with directions to follow! :laugh:
