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.

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.

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!

If you want to get definition and build your abs this is the book to get. It's worked for me. The only problem is you have to wait a long time and be patient. You have to wait at least four to six weeks before you see any results. You also have to maintain some sort of cardio workout of your choice to help this program work. It will take a few months to start seeing really noticeable results but if you are determined enough it will be worth it.

When I first startied reading this book, I had a thin stomach, but it had no abs. Not only do abs make you hot, and keeps your girlfriend or wife wanting to see you, they keep you in good health. Read this book and soon you will feel and look better!

I think this is a great book. I've bought videos, and even Mr. Brungardt's other books. They're all too complicated. This provides some simple, basic exercises in an easy-to-follow format. I have been doing this for a month and I can already see the results. In fairness, two things: it's more like 10-15 minutes and not three, when you consider stretching, etc. Also, if you are already spending two hours a day at the gym, this book will seem remedial to you. But if you are a beginner/intermediate, it's a great routine that will get you results.

I bought 3 min abs after reading awesome reviews about it. I was so excited that I told all of my friends about it. One problem: I already had a six-pack and wanted increased definition and size. Why not? The book is entitled "Achieving the Look You've Always Wanted." If this describes your ab desires than this book is not for you. HOWEVER, if you are of an average build, this book WILL slim down your waist.

This book is dumb. kurt spents all the book, telling about how important the "mental thing" is. He takes only 10 pages to tell us the reason we bought his book ABS. Yes very few exercises, not convincent, very poor writen I felt I've just bought those miracle gadgets from TV. I really don't know why american trainers prefer spend half of the book teaching about mental stuff, instead focus on the real train. I'm not against mental train I just think, motivation is subjective and should be taught by a psycologist.

It's true that you don't need 1000 crunches a day or more than 15 minutes to have perfect abs. The problem is that if you have a very thin layer of fat that covers them, NOONE will be able to see them. You have to burn all these fat and this requires to do aerobics at least 3 times a week for 30-60minutes. I am also surprised by the other readers that said their fat went down just by doing abs. ANY serious dietitian will tell you that there is no such thing as "spot reduction"

Who can believe that 3 minutes a day of any kind of exercise will give you a set of killer abs..? Answer: NO ONE...!
Why? Because people know better.
Think about it. Why is it that not many people have killer abs? The reason is that to get a set of abs like the one's that appear on the cover of this book, one would would have to work for at least 2 hours on your abs alone for 2 years every day. Ask Brad Pit.. it did not take him 3 minutes a dayfor the past 15 years. It took him a constant discipline (2 hours a day)since he was 12 yrs old. Guess what..? If you want to have a set of killer abs do the following.
1. Run at least 4 times a week. (3-4 miles)- burn the lower fat
2. Crunches (incline / decline/ sideways)- shape muscle
3. Run.
OK. I hope it helps. My eight pack can prove it. I did it in 4 years (1.2 hours a day) + Running.
