Hip Hop Abs - Greatest Abs Exercise Or Infomercial Swindle?

     Let's go again, one more infomercial promising flat, sculptured abs without needing to do 'painful' crunches or sit-ups. So, what is the deal? The Hip hop Abs package comes with 4 DVDs, a 30 day workout calendar and 24 / Seven 'online support' ( rather misleading as the 'expert' support is limited to forum exchanges with other users and the odd live discuss with Shaun T. Unless you download the DVDs from the Net you will have to pay $60, plus delivery and packaging.

The target groups of this exercise program are allegedly girls and gay men, like Shaun himself. Straight males might be somewhat irritated by his constant chatter ( although you can turn up the volume of the music over the talk ) and the way that he moderates the program. The Hip-hop moves shown on the DVDs are nothing that you can boast with at a club, so if you want to learn real moves, I recommend you take Hiphop classes at your neighborhood gymnasium instead.

The most vital thing you really have to realize is that, so as to get tight, strongly defined abs, nothing tops bicycle manoeuvre, captains chair and crunches on an exercise ball, as latterly proved again by a study conducted at the University of San Diego. Therefore if sexy abs is your only goal, if you can incentivize yourself and eat healthily, just do one of the already mentioned 3 exercises every day and you'll get a better outcome than with anything sold through an infomercial. So, what's the Hiphop Abs workout good for? Check out these Good points and bad points :

Pros :

Doing the moves exhibited on the exercise DVDs definitely beats sitting on the lounger and just watching the telly. If you do it properly, work up a sweat and actually get your pulse rate up, you can lose weight ; particularly if you stick to the diet strategy that comes with the package. It can seem clever to add it to your daily agenda and you can get a pleasant endorphin boost.

Depending on the type of person you are you may have an excellent time watching the Shaun T working his attractive body up into a sweat and listening to his talk. If so the short exercise programmes will fly right by.

Cons :

The basic issue with Hiphop Abs is it is not the final workout for your abs. The 'standing crunch' publicized as the fundamental movement is in no way as effective as cycling, the captain's chair or real crunches. A muscle shortening by bending slightly as covered in Hip hop Abs does not excite you abs and make them grow larger and stronger. This is one clear point where the folk selling the product are attempting to bamboozle you.

Hip-hop Abs isn't a cardiovascular vascular exercise. If you are in halfway decent shape, the workout routines of Shaun T won't make you break out in a huge sweat. Eventually, you become used to the drill and as your muscles evolve and your movements become more efficient your body will be less challenged. In order to challenge it more you've got to 'upgrade' to the advanced workouts, which essentially means purchasing more stuff from them.

The moves are not for everybody and take some time getting comfy with. It is in no way authentic Hiphop what you are learning there. Additionally, the music and Shaun T are not for everyone, which is fair enough.

'Testimonials' claim to have exploited the product and to have lost as much as 3 inches on their hips in as little as a few days. Such a weightloss in such a short time isn't just highly unlikely, but were it true would it be the rest but healthy. Don't purchase the item and expect to appear like Shaun T after a fortnight.

In many forums folks complain about the customer service delivered by Hip-hop Abs and about being swindled or receiving stuff they didn't essentially need to purchase. If you are set on purchasing the product, use PayPal or make sure you do not get defrauded or ripped off for things you never requested.

Conclusion

Now, is Hip hop Abs the final abs workout or a total scam like other products publicized in infomercials? The answer is : neither.

If dancing is your thing, if you believe this is like a fun way to shed some pounds and if you are comfortable spending the cash, then by all means do it and give Hip hop Abs a shot. If it gets you off the lounger and makes you exercise every day, if it makes you change to a fitter diet and causes you to feel better about yourself, then it is worth it.

If you are looking for the best way to build your abs, you must stick to the scientifically demonstrated methods. Doing real abs exercises might burn a little bit but how sweet is that pain if it basically gets results that may be measured. Furthermore, Hiphop Abs is not a suitable cardio exercise since it is neither progressive nor adaptive. If you want to build a real sweat, rather go for a run or use the cardio machines in your gym. That may make you lose weight quicker and you can track your own advancement better.
