My roommate loves workout videos but finds herself getting bored with them easily, creating a pretty steady stream of new videos for me to try when I get home too late to go out running. (Give me a break, I live in East Oakland.) Recently she bought Shaun T.'s Hip Hop Abs. There are something like four workouts in the system and you're supposed to "be ready to hit the dance floor in your killer new body in no time!"
I tried the 45-minute Total Body Burn and found it to be a fun little way to burn a few calories. The moves were fairly easy to do, even for my uncoordinated self and it was better than watching reruns of Friends. I'm sure I'd look a fool if I tried to do these moves on any dance floor with anyone that is not blind, but in the secrecy of my own home, I rocked it out.
In conclusion, this is a fun alternative to sitting on your lazy butt because you got home late but I'm not sure if I'd really get a "killer body" doing the workout regularly. And I don't intend to find out - I love being outdoors way too much.

Heya,
I mostly agree with what you say. Hip Hop Abs is good cos it get's you off the couch. However, it is not suitable as an abs workout program, if you want to know why, checkout my squidoo lens about Hip Hop Abs here http://www.squidoo.com/hip-hop-abs-review/
Hip Hop Abs is horrible!! If you are the average person trying to get into shape do not buy this video.
Good post.
Well... that's amazing but to be honest i have a hard time understanding it... wonder what others have to say..
Not sure where to post this but I wanted to ask if anyone has heard of National Clicks?
Can someone help me find it?
Overheard some co-workers talking about it all week but didn't have time to ask so I thought I would post it here to see if someone could help me out.
Seems to be getting alot of buzz right now.
Thanks
