 exactly!!!! that's what i did after i saw the commercial -- for real!!! i wanted to buy it immediately, but knew it would be foolish to do. then i put on a prince cd and started dancing, mimicking their ab focused moves. i did that on Sunday, and I tell ya, yesterday, I FELT THE BURN!!!! Yeah I did that too. It was funny,but I didnt keep it up for more that 10 minutes. "Nobody makes me bleed my own blood...NOBODY!"

Dancing is exercise - I still do it till this day.
Just put on music that gets you movin' and do it. It's a fun way to shape up. | |

Hip hop abs! like B.I.G had right? fuckin hip hop abs... shit. The shit companies come up with. If u want a six pack it takes work - Do cardiovascular work to burn fat (this will make your abs visable. we all have an ab muscle wall. fat layers hide it). i recomend skipping or jogging, or both! 3/4 times a week. u want to gradually build up your routine to 45 mins ideally. thats burns around 600 calories. Any aerobic exercise, that doesnt mean slippin on a leotard either. It refers to any form of cardiovascular work out i.e. riding a bike.
then work on strenghtening your ab muscles with various crunch exercises, the plank etc. Again, dont kill yourself, start off slow. 10 good crunches are worth 100 bad sit ups. Look at what your eating too. try and lower fat intake naturally. Shy away from faddy diets. just eat healthly, add fruit an veg to your diet. Play a hip hop cd whilst doin it and save yoursef a load of cash. buy a decent pair of running shoes with the money instead. You too will soon have a body like big Pun!!! Ultimately, u get out what u put in. Watching a dvd never got anybody fit. theres a world out there, of nature and fresh air. Embrace it and the mental time for thought etc.. running exercises the mind too good luck | |

That being said, she has driven me nuts over the last couple of days insisting we get some exercise DVD called "Hip Hop Abs". She saw the infomercial on TV and was so impressed by the workout, which promises "NO SIT-UPS...ONLY DANCING TO THE LATEST HIP HOP BEATS", that she taped it and had to show it to me. And I watched it as people who had six-pack abs proceeded to dance like Freedom Williams with of course one or two really uncoordinated softbellies planted way in the back, presumably for posterity sake.
This thing costs $80 (or as my wife insists, ONLY four payments of $19.99). Lord knows I need to lose some weight but I just believe that if the will is there it can be done the old-fashioned way, without infomercial gimmicks. Should we just plunk down the money or do y'all think that it's a bunch of hooey? You're lucky. My wife wants to re-new our vows  "..My work is personal, I'm a working person, I put in work, I work with purpose.." | |

If only my wife could have seen the "Eat all the chicken wings and shed 50 pounds" infomercial... All good things they say never last... | |

I can't believe he's getting people to fork over close to one hundred bucks to watch him bob side to side as Black Eyed Peas plays in the background. "She made me glad to be a man" | |
