Summary: the best ab and waist trimmer
Comment: This is the best Billy Blanks I have and I have them all - found the bootcamp one to be a little too much and even though the abs was strong also, I really felt it target my abs - not for a beginner though. Beginners should stay with basic and instructional for a while before getting into other Blanks tapes. The horse position can be really tough on your hips so if you have any problems there either modify position or this isn't tape for you. Position is in a lot of exercises so take it slow.

Summary: Great Routine
Comment: I love Billy Blanks, his dynamic personality gets me going when working out and he pushes you well.
This routine is a great combination of moves that gets you sweating and leads to some intense work on your abs when it is all said and done. I feel the workouts hitting my stomach muscles during the routines and when I am done. He is very clear in the instruction to make sure you target them properly and getting the most out of the exercises.
Highly recommended.

Summary: Do not suggest
Comment: Billy Blanks: Ab Bootcamp is a mediocre Ab workout video at best. Many of the workouts I do not feel the crunch or burn at all. These workouts are for absolute beginners. And I would not even suggest the video to them. There are plenty of other great ab workout video's to spend your money on. Please do not waste your money on this. I am already trying to sell it.

Summary: Even after the 1st work-out my stomach felt tighter and my pants felt looser!!!
Comment: Don't be fooled by the name, this tape is not just about abs. If you are at the beginner to intermediate level it will work your entire body, especially your legs. Although I have also been lifting 5-8 pound dumbbells for my arm strength. However, all of the whole-body exercises target the midsection. I think this is great for someone like me who has an apple shaped body. Usually what ends up happening is my arms and legs get toned easily, but my stomach stays flabby. With this video, it ends up evening out! The results were immediate!
And, for the record, Tae-Bo has been the ONLY exercise tape system I have ever been able to stick with, and I have tried many! It's really fun and motivational. Plus, Billy Blanks really goes out of his way to make sure you understand how to do the moves most safely and effectively. He is in amazing shape, yet at no point does he ever come off as pretentious (to an out-of-shape beginner just starting Tae-Bo). He is the best instructor ever!!!

Summary: Great video for damaged abs & post baby
Comment: I am a huge fan of Billy. I have all his DVD's. I found myself with split ab muscles & a huge flabby belly after having 2 babies within 3 years. I was a size 2 frame with a 32" waist! I tried cardio workouts for 2 years without improvement. Doctors told me a tummy tuck was my only option for shape because my muscles were split. They told me to avoid ab exercises because I could get a hernia.
The video-
The video is divided into standing ab work & then floor work. About 2/3 is devoted to standing. I only did the standing work because I was afraid to do the floor work because of my muscles. The music is upbeat. Billy gives great instructions.
I did this video every day. I did 1/2 hr on the treadmill first then I did the standing portion of this video. I was shocked that this video made me sweat. I've never done an ab workout before that got me heated. Results= I lost 4" on my waist.
Extra:
I disagree with prior reviews stating Billy uses bad form. I did notice some soreness initially in my back that improved as my muscles got stronger. You need to do it for awhile before giving up. As with any workout video or class you need to modify it to fit your level of fitness. I did not do the floor work on it & I still got great results. I also skipped a move where he flops his arms around like a helicopter because I did feel pulling on my back, but my husband did the move without any problems.

Editorial Reviews:

Billy created a brand-new approach that attacks belly fat with targeted moves to give you the same effect as crunches but without the stress and strain, as well as specially designed twisting that slims and trims your midsection.
