| ABS OF STEEL… the name says it all. And now the world famous series is back with all new cutting edge workouts designed to shed inches and sculpt lean sexy abs. The moves are so intense your workouts will be shorter, yet much more effective with rock hard ab toning methods such as athletic core training, yoga, and Pilates. Several of the sessions even increase the heart rate and boost the calorie burn! Variations are shown to allow you to work at a mild, intense, or ultimate pace depending on your fitness level or how you feel from workout to workout. Leisa Hart starred in 14 Buns of Steel videos and has over 26 years fitness industry experience as an ACE and AFAA certified instructor. |

| i wish i had taken a picture before i starting doing this dvd, my abs are showing definition that has not been there for a long time. The routines are short, not overly difficult, i never was exhausted or hurting, i always liked the way i felt after doing the workout. Leisa Hart looked incredible and I can see why, her new Buns of Steel video was GREAT and this ABS of Steel dvd was AWESOME, i LOVED IT. |
LUV THIS VIDEO!!!

| I consider myself to be an intermediate-level exerciser. Because I have the "Sponge Bob Square Pants" gene of a thick tummy and back fat, I needed an extra something to add to my routine to hit my problem spots. I absolutely LOVE this video!!! It's best features are: 1) it offers several routines in short segments; 2) each segment has its own cool down; 3) the routines are not standard crunches and offer full range of motion for the antagonistic abdominal and back muscles. The short segments enable me to vary my ab routines; the cool downs enable me to exercise longer than if it the intensity were maintained; and the range of motion ensures that my problem areas are targeted. Also, difficult exercises (such as planks or bicycles) can be easily substituted with lower-level versions. Although I haven't been doing the DVD very often for very long, my ever-so-critical aunt said that she has noticed that my stomach is "coming in" just under my bustline. Moreover there are additional bonus routines for both abs and other body areas. This DVD is definitely a lot of bang for the buck! |
Super fun!

I really, really enjoyed this DVD! Fun, upbeat and encouraging, Lisa Hart is an exellent instructor!
The dvd format goes as follows:
Ab Conditioning-10 min cardio workout
Ab isolating-10 min seated workout
Ab toning-5 min mat workout
Ab flowing-5 min mat workout
Ab Pilates-5 min mat workout
Ab Yoga-10 min mat workout
She has 15 min in bonus wokouts as well!
~I usually combine all the workouts(minus yoga-I didn't find the yoga very beneficial), along with Lisa Hart's Buns of steel, and already I'm seeing firming results!(I've had the dvd for 2 1/2 weeks)
There are 3 workout levels: moderate, intense and ultimate. I'm pretty slim as it is, and consider myself an intermediate/advanced, so the moderate and intense levels don't quite cut it for me, the ultimate level, however, is really helping me firm up!! The cardio workouts take a little while to get the hang of, you might want to watch the first time, before doing them. I would heartly recommend this dvd to anyone, on any level!! |
Good but only for BEGINNERS

| I read so many great reviews about this video that I was pretty excited about it whipping my abs into shape. It's still a good video but I was disappointed to discover how low key it is. I'm not an avid exerciser (haven't hit the gym in... 5 months?) but I basically end up spending the whole video making up my own variations to make it more intense. On the positive side, its segmented style makes it great if you only have 5 or 10 minutes to spend on your abs but if you want to do more or even the whole thing, the segments get annoying. They stop and do stretching and cool down for a few minutes in each segment and then it takes 30 seconds to switch to the next segment and you start all over again. |
Not for Me

| I have been doing an Ab Blast DVD from Jeanette Jenkins for about a year now and decided I needed to change it up a little. I bought this DVD as a recommendation from a relative who said the Abs of Steel series was fantastic. I have attempted this on several occasions knowing that it takes time to warm up to something different. I cannot warm up to this. The first few segments in (not the pilates and yoga portions) the line up were moving fast and almost putting a dance routine together without giving you time to learn the form. Just when you start catching on it's time to go on to the next move where you start over trying to learn a form. I am happy to work my body hard, but I need solid clear instructions. I also want to clarify that I have been working out 5 to 7 days a week for 4 years. I'm familiar with a lot of moves and usually catch on quite fast. For now, I'm sticking with Jeanette! |
