3-Minute Abs: Amazon.ca: Kurt Brungardt: Books

Product Description

From Amazon.com

Do you think you need special equipment to train your abdominal muscles? Do you think the models you see in fitness magazines look like that all the time? Kurt Brungardt, author of The Complete Book of Abs, dispels those myths in this tiny but information-packed book. He has a radically different idea about exercising abdominal muscles: instead of working them all at once, he believes, you should divide the muscles into three distinct regions--upper, lower, and sides--and work them for three minutes each on separate days. The exercises he recommends are interesting and challenging, and he even includes a few dietary tips, noting that exercise alone won't give someone the much-coveted "washboard" look.

Review

"If you want to talk abs, Kurt Brungardt is the guy to begin with. This is a man who knows his midsections."--" Men's Fitness"

5.0 out of 5 stars It worked for me, Sep 13 2003

This review is from: 3-Minute Abs (Paperback)

I was a little Skeptical about getting a decent workout in 3 minutes a day, but i've been pleasantly surprised. I have been doing the workouts for a couple of months and have really gotten positive results. I was doing ab workouts before, but I have stopped doing those and now I only do the ones from this book. It does take more than 3 minutes with the stretches and back exercises in the book, but it still is a quick and effective workout.

5.0 out of 5 stars very effective ab workout, May 8 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: 3-Minute Abs (Paperback)

Before reading this book I was like most people who knew hardly anything about doing abs. I'd so a set of crunches maybe 3 times a week and thought that was enough. I've always had a flat stomach but never much definition to it. After doing the exercises for about 4 months I can say my abs have never looked better. I've still got a while to go before I've got abs that really stand out(like Kurts), but i've deninately got what you'd call the beginning stages of a nice set of abs. Abs won't come overnight, and it takes alot of hard work to push your abs, I suggest doing them twice a day if you are [up to the] pain.

3.0 out of 5 stars What about when somebody comes up with 2 min abs?, Feb 6 2003

This review is from: 3-Minute Abs (Paperback)

It may sound revolutionary, but what if someone came out with 2 minute abs? Then this book would be irrelavent, and everybody would feel lame for wasting all those extra minutes.
Remember 8 minute abs, and all the research that went into breaking that barrier? Well I know I was pretty shocked when I heard about 7 min abs. Then all the news papers were following the 'Abs Race' as each minute barrier was successfully broken. Believe me, I'm just as impressed with three minutes as you, but I think we can do a little better. Don't buy an ab video program until we are ABsolutely sure the limit has been reached!
