Has anyone ordered this yet? I was thinking about it because I tried the moves on the infomercial and I can really see where it would work my abs and be fun. Because quite frankly I am sick of looking at Billy Blanks. I love you Billy
I just borrowed it off a friend. I popped it in the dvd player, had it on for about 5 inutes, then popped back in my Turbo Jams. I couldn't get the hang of it, bit I'm going to give it another whirl.
I thought about turbo jam, but it kinda looks very messy to me.. kinda like your all over the place. Im just not sure.. I need something thats going to shock my body, and help me get my sweat on. The biggest hunk of junk I ever bought was carmen electras strip tease box set. WHAT_EVER! haha
I keep being tempted by the info-mercials for this, too. It looks like fun! My daughter is in a hip-hop class, and I have tried to learn her routine to practice that, but since it's a team dance, there are too many breaks. I need something more consistent to really get me going, and it HAS to be fun if I'm going to stick to it!

I had to have a little laugh at this, I tried the Striptease dvd yesterday. I won't be doing that again, lol.
I also had the Yoga Booty Ballet set, but it jumps right into things pretty quickly, so I'm not sure if I like them or not.
I wasn't coordinated enough for it. This is a problem I have with most cardio videos, though (I once accidentally kicked a toddler trying to do Tae Bo). If you're good at what you normally do, it might be good for you. I like the YBB stuff in general. Though the one man they had in their "burlesque" video...That was just weird.
im pretty good at the taebo/bootcamp dvd's I would just HATE to spend 60 bucks on something and hate it. Well I guess it does have that 30 money back thing.. hmmm.. I should just order it and shut up I guess.
Unless you really can dance and/or are coordinated enough to learn, I wouldn't suggest this for people. You're really better off getting something like taebo if you're going for weight loss. As for the abs, yes this is alot better than sitting on the floor trying to to crunches. It's like standing up and doing the crunches... so if nothing else, find someone that can burn you a copy or upload a copy of the dvd with the ab workout on it.
I gotta say - I love my HHA! Shaun T is ultra energetic and the workout is fun. And to me - fun makes all the difference. I can't say I'm highly coordinated, yet have found the workout to be fairly easy to do. There's the odd shoulder shrugging thing I can't do, but you can always just fake it and get back in line with the next move.
I've found I love doing standing ab work. The first few times I didn't feel much, but now that I've been doing it consistently - you can REALLY feel it when your tilted and tightened correctly. So not only am I finally MOVING, but actually seeing results as well.
Hey guys, just wanted to provide a little input about hip hop abs:
I really enjoy it, actually. The cardio workout is easy for a beginner, and if you find it hard to follow along with the routine, don't worry about it. I was so out of shape that I couldn't either at first, especially towards the end... but doing it everyday for a couple weeks I know what to expect and can follow along much easier. Going slow is fine and being out of step is fine, as long as your "core is tight" (as in abs) and you're still moving.
I've been doing cardio at least everyday and sometimes the Ab sculpt after i do the cardio. I just tried the hips, buns and thighs workout and my hips, buns, and thighs are aching, heheheh, though I expect not as much since I've been doing the cardio for a while.
Also, Shaun is an entertaining guy to watch.
Well, good luck with your individual workouts, guys.
I love Turbo Jam!!! I have been doing Turbo Jam for about a year now and although I don't get as tired, I still work up a good sweat. I haven't tried hip hop abs yet, but I'm sure it just depends on your preference. I've heard about Carmen Electra's striptease DVD's, are they worth it?
I had heard about Hip Hop Abs many times but never saw the infomercial until this morning. Well, come to find out Shaun T is someone I know from high school! It was crazy reading about all the stuff he's done since then...plays, movies, tv shows. Now I'm tempted to buy it, I think it'd be kind of neat having someone I know teaching me the moves! He used to sing with a group of guys in high school (phenomenal voice). They were very boyz 2 men-ish.
I just ordered this today (from QVC since they have free shipping). I hope it's better than turbo jam. I REALLY didn't care for chalene. She was too Orange.
