8 Minute Workouts (Arms / Abs / Buns / Legs)

Rating:
Summary: If you have no time or are a beginner, buy this
Review: 8 minute arms are fast and easy, and you can do it without weights or with weights (or soup cans if you don't have weights). 8 minute legs are easy, and you use your chair or couch, perfect for the beginner. 8 minute abs are a bit difficult, definetly work your way into those. 8 minute buns are not for the weak kneed, you definitly need an exercise mat. All the workouts are so fast, it doesn't even feel like your working out.

Summary: Why don't they advertise all the bonus workouts?
Review: A friend of mine showed me his 8-minute ab tape years ago. I tried it once and was exhausted, but could definately feel my abs. I always wanted to buy it, but never did until just now. I found this DVD including 8-minute buns, arms, and legs and I figured what the heck. All I wanted was the ab section, but this DVD isn't very expensive and I figured maybe I'd try the other workouts on it. I just got it yesterday, and did the abs part - that was fine - a little tough but the nice thing is there's a timer for each section so you know when the end is near if you want to rest early. After that I figured I'd try the arms section - which was too easy. I did learn a good arm exercise or two from the video. Next time I'll use 10 lb weights each hand (tomato cans!?). So after that I looked at the extras on the DVD - there are a TON! I don't know why they don't advertise these on the package - it would boost sales for sure. On the ab and arm disc there were like 4 or 5 extra workouts like "10 minute this" and "15 minute that". I tried one of the 15 minute things - it was like a rip off of Tai Bo but it was good! I liked it a lot - got me energized. Anyhow - this DVD set (2 discs total) has all sorts of extras on it so even if you don't like 1 section, you're sure to find SOMEthing you do like.

Summary: WONDERFUL WAY TO SPEND 8 MINUTES
Review: I absolutly love the 8 minute workouts!! It is much easier to fit these into a schedule by doing some at one time and others later, there is no pausing the workout; 8 minutes and you're done! They are easy to stick to and fun to look forward to. They have been a very big part of my workout routine, I would not give them up for anything!

Summary: Tough but Effective
Review: I am a 24 year old female and I own a couple of fitness DVDs and I have to say that this DVD is the most effective at working my Buns and Abs in a short period of time. One of the videos that I own that is comparable to this one is Tamilee's I Want That Body. Let me tell you, the 8 minute workouts are much more tough. Although Tamilee's video is more visually appealing and professional, I still favour the somewhat cheesy 8 minute collection. I don't feel the legs workout is very effective. The arms workout could be effective but I don't really use it. All in all, I definitely recommend the 8 minute abs and buns section. The 8 minutes definitely fly by because the lead instructor is always encouraging the user to continue. It also helps that there is a countdown clock on screen - it really helps to keep me motivated. Yes, I find this video awesome. There is no excuse to not set aside 16 minutes a day for tighter buns and abs.

Summary: Excellent for beginners and spazzes
Review: I am a relatively fit person, who wanted a quick daily ab work out to get ready for the summer months. After reading the reviews, this DVD sounded ideal. Afterall, I definitely have 8 minutes every day. However, I do not find the work out challanging. Even after three days of continual use, my abs are not sore. I am disappointed and will probably have to invest in another DVD that is more challanging. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Summary: Perfect for new moms!
Review: I bought these to help me get back into shape after having a baby. I figured I could fit in eight minutes at least a couple of times a day. I am so happy I bought this set, it is great! Sometimes I will add one or two of the workouts to my cardio workout, or sometimes I will do all four in a row. The exercises work and I love the format because there is no irritating chatter. You have eight minutes and the instructor gets straight to business and works you straight through those eight minutes. There is an optional eight minute stratch that you can do on each of the DVD's if you need it. Also, the time counter lets you know how long you have for each exercise and counts down the eight minutes, which is very motivating. I HIGHLY recommend this set of DVD's to anyone looking to firm up their body and especially to new moms.

Summary: Who isn't pressed for time these days?! Try these !
Review: I have had this DVD set for a couple months, and it is great! I am working on getting in better shape, but somedays just don't allow for a 30-45 minutes workout (treadmill, DVD/VHS, etc.). At least I can do one or more of these workouts, and yes, you feel them! Also, BONUS workouts are included-what a nice surprise: 8 Minute Stretch, plus Gilad and Bodies in Motion. I am looking forward to results with this no-nonsense set!
Good luck with your fitness plan, and God bless you during this new year!

Summary: Love this DVD
Review: I have tried many other workouts but this one gave me the best results in a shorter amount of time. Each workout is 8 minutes long so it is easy to fit into your busy day. I have had knee surgeries on both knees and cannot do most of the excerise programs on the market but with the 8 minutes workouts I have lost one inch off my waist, legs and buns in 6 weeks. This DVD is excellent!

Summary: Versitale DVD - Bonus Workouts too!
Review: I just got this dvd set and did it today. The 08 minute segments are GREAT and each dvd also has an 08 minute stretch, PLUS bonus workouts 5, 10, 15 or 20 minutes in length, segments from KHI BAE, Gilad, and a fun 10 minute Jamaican dance style workout. Love all the 08 minute segments, and bonus workouts, and the fact that it is filmed outdoors. Lots of fun!
