Rap Lalaine, Aug 31 2003

This review is from: Ruff Ryders: Thug Workout - Dv (DVD)
This video basically covers all the calisthenics that you can do in an inner city playground. That, and the yo,yo,yo type "flava" of the commentators is what make this vido entertaining. I especially enjoyed the "Hood Aerobics" chapter. Seriously, there is one! In all seriousness, the video does show some very good bodyweight exercises. I don't personally care for all the stupidity, but there are some ideas in there. If you are serious about bodyweight exercises, I suggest that you look for a copy of the old Karl Gotch video that Matt Furey used to sell. As much as I dislike his current stuff, that video was remarkable and showed everything that could be done without weights. Buy this video for entertainment value or if the gangsta fantasy pushes you to workout.

Alot of Big Men can do weights but they cant do the BAR!, July 8 2003
This review is from: Ruff Ryders: Thug Workout - Dv (DVD)
I liked this DVD. The guy who reviewed this before that seen Superman Pullups in gym class is on [drugs]. ... No one does this stuff in Gym class! Way beyond normal pullups. He either didnt do the workout just watched it. Or he's hating. No other options. This is a very good DVD. My only complaint and why it didnt get Five stars is they need to give more of a unified program that a beginner could do. Instead of flipping from playground to playground with a bunch of different people. Im looking forward to volume 2. Keep the first guy that demonstrated the pullups througout the video in the next one and you have a winner. He seemed to explain things the best.

Thugs Do Fitness!, Feb 23 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Ruff Ryders: Thug Workout - Dv (DVD)
Thug Workout: Fitness from the Streets is not your customary workout video, in fact, at first glance, the brash language and in your face style would seem more "Thug" than actual "Fitness".
But the operative word here is fitness, and these guys have developed some wickedly good routines that consist of various pull-ups, push-ups and dips. But what makes these common exercises different, is "how" they're executed ... some of which, most people won't be able to immediately perform. For those that can, you'll get a very challenging workout.
The only draw backs are that the video tends to repeat certain exercises throughout and there is no lower body routine.
But if you're looking for a new way to shake-up your workout or add something to an existing one, this will certainly supply you with some new and interesting material.
