Summary: The Original (older version) has a better workout routines
Comment: I used the Original VHS tape about 7 years ago and it worked wonders. I used it after I had my daughter and it gave me a flat stomach in no time. I've tried, cardio, pilates, yoga everything since I had my son 6 months ago and nothing seem to work. So I wanted to upgrade my "Original 8 min abs and buns" VHS to the DVD version and bought this. I tried this and I have to say I am very unhappy with the workouts
I did not feel the abs workout except for 2 routines. The buns and thighs workout was more or less the same. If you have weak knees and back you will not be able to do these effectively because most of the excersises are lunges of some sort and squats. In the Original the exsercises felt better on the knees and I felt that I have had a good workout on my muscles after the 1st 2 or 3 minutes itself. The arms section in this is good (not better but good) on this.
Some find the original cheesy because of the 80 style and the commentary. But I think its better cause the instructor reminds you to keep your posture better and keeps of motivating you (although in cheesy ways) to go through the routine.. In this dvd I was getting bored after the 1st 2 minutes.
Now if you have not used to the original, this would seem great. Since I was looking to replace the original (VHS) version this was a dissapointment to me.

Summary: It's only eight minutes! Love it!
Comment: I decided to get back in shape about six weeks ago and you know how difficult it is getting started. This DVD has kept me on track because everytime I consider not working out, I tell myself "it's only 8 minutes" and do it. My favorite is the ABS and the stretch because it is something I will usually skip and this DVD has me motiavated. At first it was hard, but do-able. Three levels are displayed, easy, moderate and advanced. I am happy to say I am seeing results and I am able to do some of the advanced level moves. I highly recommend this DVD if you are busy and want to see results.

Summary: Great video for work out
Comment: I received the training video and love it. The work out gets your heart going and it don't take all day to do. You don't regret doing it. I look forward to my workout days. Keep up the good work.

Summary: Great workout for busy people!
Comment: This workout is formidable for those who don't have a lot of time to work out. It targets all major muscle groups, arms, buns, thighs, abs and it includes a stretching section. Several exercises are performed to target each muscle group, so the workout is never boring. Moreover, the exercises are very simple to follow..One can definitely feel the burn, a sign that the exercises are working.

Summary: A little too much
Comment: I just got this DVD and I have to say overall I am a little disappointed. Lets face it, if you are doing an 8 minute video you probably want a simple, easy to use video. You like Easy to do excercise without distractions. It seems like they tried to work too much into these videos and it leaves them feling cluttered and confusing.
Especially on the leg excercises, if you are anything but a beginner you need a stabilization ball AND ankle weights! The instructer waists as much as half of her alloted 30 seconds per workout instructing the other two people working with her, it is as if they haven't reviewed or prepared ahead of time. I find it distracting and frustrating. There is also time wasted putting on and removing ankle weights as well as getting and removing the ball. If so much instruction is needed for each excercise it probably shouldn't be in an 8 minute video.
On the up side these videos are very up to date with a modern setting. They are not nearly as cheesy as the old ones. The DVD menu makes it very easy to find and use the workout of your choice. The excercises are new and fresh, I would say they are more difficult in general than the original 8 minute videos.
I have a feeling I will continue to use my old ones more than this new one simply because they are simpler to use and still effective. ( even if they are a little cheesy)
