I just wanted to share this YouTube video with you all...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWjTnBmCHTY

I first did this last year and it really helped tone my abs. I stopped after about 4 weeks but I decided last weekend that I was going to start again on Monday this week. I have now just done day 5 and although it is hard it seems to be working :)

I have been posting about this on my MFP wall and a few of my friends have also started doing it and said how it has benefitted them so I thought I would share it with everyone.

Give it a go... as they say in the video 'it is only 8 minutes everyday...'

    No. 7 minute abs man. 7 is the key.

    I have been doing this workout on and off since I was a teen :) I love it even if the blue spandex are a little bright LOL. I have his whole 8 minute series, buns, arms, legs, and abs. The 8 min Abs is by far my favorite, but his 8 min Buns hurt like hell to do :) It is amazing how 8 minutes can really tone everything :) Hey Gang LOL

    8 Minute Abs is great.

    If you have access to P90X videos, try Ab Ripper. 16 minutes of pure abdominal hell! (motivating, eh!?)

    Thanks for posting.

    I LOVE it... the retro cheesy music as well as the blue spandex helps distract me enough that I tend to keep going, no matter what the pain, for the whole 8 minutes!

    If it's half as long as Ab Ripper X does that make it half as painful? If so, I endorse this.

    @Riemersma4 - I don't have these DVDs but might have to buy them once I'm good enough at 8 minutes to tackle more...

    No! No, no, not 6! I said 7. Nobody's comin' up with 6. Who works out in 6 minutes? You won't even get your heart goin, not even a mouse on a wheel.

    Glad you posted this.

    As you know after seeing your wall posts I've just started this too, 3rd day today, so really new.
    But its good, 8 minutes can fit into anyones routine. Its like 0.5% of a day?? Or something like that.
    I'm combining it with the Squat challenge and JM 30DS too.

    Thanks again xx

    P90X rocks.

    AbRipperX: twice the time, 3 times the pain!

    Good luck!
