I don't have the first hip hop and and was able to do this one. The only thing is you can't really follow Shaun T's workout calendar without both sets of DVD's. The calendar requires set 1 for the first 4 weeks and then set 2 for the last 4 weeks.

This is my first time doing hip hop abs, and you don't need any other videos or experience to follow along. I love it!

The original is not as long or hard core, but it's where he teaches his basic moves. If you know some of them, and are good at catching on, I'd say go for it! No need wasting money on the levels you may not use as much. It's all instructional anyway. My favorite though is Extreme Hip Hop Abs! There are good workouts on the Ultimate too. Different variations.Good luck, Donna

yes it is. it's higher weight, slower reps and it's a progressive program. you can lift as much ( or as little ) as you want but in the dvd's it's usually heavier weights. it's a really good program

It's a pretty intense program. Not a great starter program. But if it would motivate you to exercise then yes but don't be Afraid to modify modify modify. The workouts are fun and motivating.

Insanity is definitely a hard workout. Hip hop abs is similar in that it will work on other muscles that you may have not worked on before. It will make you sweat and you will have have fun. So yes it is challenging, but in a different way.

yes, I have done the routines 6 days a week, but I do the main one three days a week and then do the extra dvd's for abs, buns/thighs, yoga/stretching on the other days. I have done the extra ones twice in a row on the same day, but I have never done the main 30 minute dvd on back to back days. Concerned that could lead to an injury. I am middle aged, so may not exercise at your same intensity, but I don't think I could do the main workout more than 3 days a week.

Hello there, I haven't done hip hop abs. However, I will say that Fast & Furious abs works very well. When or if you do it you must give it EVERYTHING you got lol. Ten minutes isn't long and you should sweating a lot after you finish.I personally have completed the Insanity workout and I'm working on second round. I "sometimes" do the Fast & Furious abs before the normal workout. I sounds it crazy but if you results quicker why not :)

I don't know burn the fat but it's cardio along with working your obliques is what he really works alot on. I think you should try it I love it. I am overweight and I can do it. You will defintley firm up your abs if you do these videos.

It also works for that,one of the cd's have a section and it is called hard-core abs. But if you just want one for abs and like hip-hop get shaun T's hip hop abs.i really recommend both if you are planning to buy something like this :)

I didnt try hip hop abs but it would obviously be better for you IF you like to dance! This dvd is only about 10m but its intense! Hope this helps!

Do the real Insanity series. That's worth the $. This video is an added bonus video and the quality is terrible. I returned mine. I've been doing Insanity (the complete series) for 2 years and I love it. I do Gillian when I feel like I need to take it down a notch on some days. Insanity is Gillian multiplied and fast-fwd'd. I love both for a well-rounded workout.

If you want to use it to tighten abs you have to do ab exercises while you are using it

I have the entire program and love it!! If you want to tone core then you will need cardio as well and his workouts REALLY focus on the core.

Not sure what you mean but it's dance moves for a workout. It seems easy but when you stop you realize it's some work out . Move are hip hop nothing extreme

Hi Barbara, if you are out of shape, don't worry about it. I reviewed the dvd this am and found that many of the exercises are on the mat. It is relatively slow moving so you won't hurt anything. Whatever level you are improvement is what counts.

thinking about purchasing this. Would this bee too much for a person who is just getting into working out? I thought the program could be scaled back to fit my abilities now and increase over time. I would like to know what others think.

I do have a house with the room. I have a pull up bar. I personally hate pull ups so I don't do them. When it's time for pull ups I just do more push ups instead. I am not an expert but I don't think it would significantly impact results as long as during that time you are still doing something. Also it's not every tape that you have to do pull ups any way. Only like maybe 2 of the DVDs have a pull up section. There's not one DVD that is ONLY pull ups. Every DVD has a variation of things your going to be doing.

Yes you can do your own workout DVD'S. I don't use the preset workouts, I have a collection of spinning DVD's, which I really enjoy. The bike does not have a chain, it has two belts, one goes to the fly wheel and one goes to the peddle shaft, as per my husband, he is the mechanic here. No big cleaning or oiling necessary. As per my hubby, everything is made from good medal and it is high quality material. Hope I answer your question.
