Sometimes the video comes up and sometimes it doesn't. If the video shows on page one by the time I get to the other page I get a blank screen. What's up with that?

Thanks, everyone! Remember it's all about nutrition and exercise. One must be consistent with both so one can lose body fat - that's how you get great abs!

You people keep giving me results of other people! I need a diet to follow in order to control PCOS! I don't want to know about them, I just want information. Can you give me that? Yes! or No!
You know, like a diet sheet shows you - eat more of this or don't eat this or eat that! That is what I need not other people's comment or results! Thank you!

I am anxious to get started--I have lower back problems--these will not cause a problems with that--I feel it will more likely strengthen my back:)

This is a good quick workout routine for abs. One key to abs is doing cardio, something many people ignore.

Amazing! Thank you for coming right out and showing the truth. ab machines do NOTHING! and seeing this, its awesome. Usually I see work out videos and all their moves are halfway impossible and they have a spotter. Well I don't want my wobbly bits nausiating any of my friends! Finally a work out I can do without having to have some one point and giggle. And they won't be any longer. I feel it working already!

Dear Raphel,
While performing these "2 Mnutes to Tight Abs!" Exercie, I am experiencing a severe pain in ribs, especially during night hours ! Could you suggest me alternate exercise please?
Comment by said... - Friday, April 25, 2008 2:53:00 AM
Your article was wonderful, honest, and informative. The video is great too.....but I have neck and back problems, and don't think I can do those moves. Are there any modified exercises that will still help the abs?
Comment by said... - Wednesday, April 30, 2008 11:39:00 PM
I went to view the video but it says it can says... this video is no longer available.... so now I will have a fat flabby unfit tummy....... YUCK

Awesome quick workout. I love using it in my classes. Please stress to your readers that they shouldn't wait until they lose their fat to start firming and strengthening their abs. Start the workout now and also work on healthy eating and cardio at the same time.
Comment by Clintonwalker said... - Friday, May 02, 2008 8:59:00 AM
5 minutes a day for ab exercises but the real key is the amount of cardio you do.

I REALLY NEED THIS TYPE OF EXERCISE TO LOSE FAT AROUND MY WAIST.NICE VIDEO
Comment by Angel said... - Monday, May 12, 2008 10:53:00 AM
Im deaf and I was hoping for some kind of closed captions. Could anyone help out? Was he saying that these kinds of excercises are what u need to do for ur stomach? and like 4 at a time?? or how many per session??
Thank you!
Comment by said... - Monday, May 12, 2008 4:00:00 PM
The ab exercises really work, my problem is this. I'm in good shape, run five miles on a treadmill at 7.5 to 8 doing a mile in about 7:30. I can't get rid of the wrinkles around my knees. I have never been overweight what will help??

Hi - Please re-post this video - I received a message saying it was no longer available!

I find the hip thrust very hard to do. My hips barely leave the ground. Any tips? Thanks.
Comment by Frank said... - Wednesday, May 21, 2008 10:29:00 PM
This routine looks like an excellent addition to anyones training program. I have also found that if you work other major muscle groups that raises your metabolic rate(ie. lunges, squats, free weights) then it can help burn belly fat as well.
Comment by said... - Thursday, June 05, 2008 11:44:00 PM
that video reminds me of the turbo jams!! It's great help! i lost 9inches and 12 pounds within 10 days with Turbo Jams! It's amazing. Everyone should have one!

This is so easy a fat old woman did it. Likes it, still does it on a regular basis... Guess what? She's not so fat anymore... And I think she's beginning to look Hot!

very good video. Just got back from John Hopkins and need to work out. Thanks for the input.
Comment by said... - Monday, July 07, 2008 12:12:00 AM
Great Video.......The Ab video was very helpful, it pointing out that I was doing one of the exercises incorrectly. Thank you.
Comment by said... - Monday, July 07, 2008 3:09:00 AM
This is one of the exercises I've been looking for. Just a "2 Minutes to Tight Abs!" A quick one! Great and clear video, yet simple to me. Great thanks to you!
Comment by said... - Monday, August 25, 2008 7:54:00 AM
When I was younger and not so out of shape, I could do these excercises. Have any of you ever dealt with a genunine fat, and older person? Do you have any idea how difficult it is to just get on the floor, let alone get up? Come on, get some real & well needed tips for people like me! Standing exercises maybe?
Comment by said... - Wednesday, September 03, 2008 6:04:00 AM
rodders1
Can you please make video's to all the excercices. It's much easier than trying to workout with your head in your laptop waiting for the next instructions. Very effective and does the trick. Some more for the arms and ''love handles please''

U'VE BEEN GREAT AND SUCH A BIG HELP....THANKS FOR MAKING ME LOOK AND FEL GREAT
Comment by Andy said... - Tuesday, February 24, 2009 1:04:00 PM
The video kind reminded me of the eight minute abs routine VHS tape I got. With all seriousness I do these exercises.
The only thing that I do not care for is that it does not include a lower exercise. I just think that people put too much emphasis on abs instead developing your core.
