Spotlight: Hip Hop Abs

Once a week I will Spotlight a Beachbody workout program or product for you in order to give you a better idea of what the Beachbody company has to offer. Since I'm so familiar with the Hip Hop Abs program, I wanted to start with that one first.
Hip Hop Abs was created by Shaun T, the same trainer who made the famous Insanity workout videos.
The DVDs include an instructional video (Secret to Flat Abs) that break down how to do the basic moves. It also includes 5 workouts: Fat Burning Cardio, Total Body Burn, Hip/Buns/Thighs, Last Minute Abs and Abs Sculpt. The workouts are generally 30 minutes long with the Last Minute Abs being just 5 minutes in length. I use the Last Minute Abs on days when I feel crunched for time or if I want to do a little extra after completing one of the other workouts. But just because it is only 5 minutes doesn't mean it isn't a kick in the tush. It's INTENSE!
What I love about Hip Hop Abs is that it is comprised primarily of dance moves that target your stomach. But don't be fooled! Even as you focus on your core, you are always working the rest of your body out, too! You hardly ever get down on the floor, spending the majority of your time in different combinations of moves while tightening your stomach muscles. Not once does Shaun T. have you do a sit-up or crunch!
It's fun, it's engaging, and it gets your heart pumping all while you move and groove to fun dance music. It's never boring as Shaun changes it up constantly with different arm movements and combinations.
If you are looking for a fun workout without high impact, think about trying Hip Hop Abs.
You'll love it as much as I do!
