Tae-Bo Focus Series - Abs & Glutes

When I completed my first workout, I was drenched with sweat. You will definitely feel the burn with this tape! My abs were sore for a week! I could not laugh without hurting!

But you know what they say.."NO PAIN...NO GAIN". If you want a tape that will really work your abs and butt..this is the tape.

If you suffer with lower back pain, I suggest placing a pillow behind your back for leverage.

It's going to take sometime to get used to the the video if you have a lot of gut to get rid of, but hang in there and you will see results. It's a hard video if you are just starting out.

This is a fast pace workout, but workout at your own fitness level. Don't give yourself a coronary trying to keep up.

I'm telling you guys, Billy's tape hit all the muscles, and hits them HARD!!! You will work muscles you never knew you had,and you will be sore!

If you want a killer ab and glute workout..this is "THE ONE".

this video is about 30mins long, it starts with about a 3-4 minute warm-up and then its an 8 minute abs workout, I will say that the pace goes very fast, and your heart rate will definitely go up a bit, you do crunches of all kinds, and do a few really good exercises for the lower abs, which is excellent because most of us have that problem area that won't go away!!
then proceeds to the buns....all I can say ouch! that goes for about 7-8mins also, for those exersises you get on all fours and lift up the legs to every direction, then lie down on your stomach and do some more buns and lower back exercises, then do some 5 or so minutes of abs, which focus more on lower abs....then a good cool down.
This is a good workout, I highly recommend it to people who are in the advanced level....but when I got it, I was a beginner/intermidiate, and now I can definitely feel harder abs and buns.
Just stick with it!


Not as easy as it looks, but FUN   May 21, 2002

I love this routine. To me, the 30 minutes fly by, you are constantly moving. I've only had it for maybe 6 weeks, and some parts are a little hard yet for me (flexibility wise), but I can do it all to the finish.
And I can see that it's working! I've measured, I've looked in the mirror, my husband has commented. And the tape is pretty inexpensive. What more could you ask for!


Another great workout with Billy Blanks   March 13, 2003

First of all, this video is a great length. At around a half hour, it gives you an amazing workout. He starts off with a fast-paced warmup (as usual), then moves into ab work, then some buns, and then a few extra abs before the cool-down. Most of the moves are ones I've seen in other videos, but he puts the best together to create a wonderful workout. It makes you nice and sore, and gives you energy to start the day. Billy is wonderfully motivational as usual, and I find myself working harder when hes watching me, and answering when he asks questions. This video is great, and I hope he comes out with more in the "focus" series soon! HIGHLY RECCOMENDED!


Billy Blanks Rocks!   July 15, 2002

What an incredible Abs/glutes workout! Billy Blanks makes sure he gives you a complete workout (by introducing moves besides the basic crunch) to hit every muscle group in your abdomen and gluteus. Billy's extremely personable, is always encouraging, and makes you feel like you have complete control over your workout. This Abs/Glutes workout would be considered by the average person as at an advanced level...so keep that in mind before purchasing. Although this workout is just 30 minutes in duration, it is one of the most intense workouts I have ever experienced, and I am an avid exerciser. It takes extreme control and willpower to complete this tape, but is worth it in the end. I have seen INCREDIBLE results in the month I have owned this tape...amazing definition in the abs, and VERY firm muscles in the gluteus. Billy is constantly reviewing the proper techniques to follow when performing the moves, which is excellent. I have nothing but respect for Billy Blanks and the time and energy he puts into making quality TaeBo videos that will get you the results you have always wanted. As Billy always says, "If you have the will, TaeBo's the way!"
