Hello everyone,
I'm thinking about buying the Hip Hop Abs, and I just wanted to know if anyone has tried those tapes or if you knew of other good excercise videos. I'm currently around 230, and I'm a smoker. I have the Tae Bo tapes but jumping up and down on the floor cause too much pressure on my knees, and I scared of injuring my knees. Also condsidering that I smoke and I am so heavy, I'm looking for something beginner or in the intermediate stage. Get back to me when you can thanks for any advice.

i wanted to try it too!

Ladies--

I am a huge sucker for TV infomercials, and I am a proud owner of Hip Hop Abs. I have a bad foot, 2 bad knees, but I've had no problem using these dvd's. Shawn T. is guaranteed to make you laugh (when I say flamboyantly gay, that's an understatement...nonetheless, he's hillarious). It really does focus on your abs, and you've had a good workout at the end. Give them a shot...they're a lot of fun. (Just make sure to close all blinds and do these alone...I guarantee you'll feel like a total idiot the first few times. God knows I did!

I was gonna try Hip Hop Abs too....one problem, I totally have no rythm.....lol!!!!!!

Im on day three of HHA and I have found that while it is a GREAT set of DVD's - I SUCK! I have NO RHYTHM. I can tuck (i think), I can tilt (i think), I cant tighten because Im bad about NOT BREATHING..,but I cant do all of them at once. Dont even get me started about moving my feet, and my arms, and tucking, tilting and tightening all AT THE SAME TIME *cry*

I already want to give up. PLEASE tell me i'll "get it" soon!

it sounds like fun!

My friend has this program and I tried it once at her house. It was a total blast and even though I felt like an idiot, I could feel it working. So I would say deff. try it!

ive tried hip hop abs although ive stopped for a while i think i will start up again, but when i did use it tey were pretty fun..

i love hip hop abs it's a great workout..but like the other girl said...shut your blinds hehe..i know i do lol

Im using it, but I gotta tell you Im so out of shape I can only do a few minutes BUT its fun! I know I look like Im having a seizure so my daughter isnt allowed to watch me while I do it because the jokes would never end. To illustrate my lack of dancing ability and how its been part of me since childhood--in high school my sisters dubbed me sarcastically "The Dancing Queen"
