Product Description

Product Description
A six-pack of muscles or a six-pack of beer? The average guy doesn't want to waste money on an impossible workout book to trim his waist. He wants a simple routine that will bring results - quickly. That man, maybe thick in the middle and wondering where to start, need look no further than ESSENTIAL ABS by abdominal specialist Kurt Brungardt, author of the best-selling ABS of Steel for Men video. Brungardt has collaborated with the experts at Men's Health magazine, the most trusted name in men's health fitness, to create a step-by-step, 6 week programme that can be used by couch potatoes and fitness fanatics alike. The programme is divided into two three-week modules that shows readers how to integrate ab exercises into a quick total body workout, making the exercises more efficient, effective and fun. With 95 sharp how-to photos, ESSENTIAL ABS takes the drab out of ab, takes the jelly off the belly and makes every crunch count.

5.0 out of 5 stars It makes you work very hard, B.U.T: IT DOES WORK, 30 Oct 2003
Well, I have this book for two month and you know what? IT DOES WORK. It makes you work very hard. You start with easy exercises, but when you're getting used to go to the gym more-less regularly (approx. in 3 weeks after you've started the program), Kurt adds more and more difficult ones and then you can't stop, as you see the results and you're becoming very challenged. I think Kurt is a very clever guy and I would go to his classes if I lived in the states.:-) I'm not a gym guru and not mad spending my entire time in there, but three hours a week in the gym really changing your life (sorry for banality). I would suggest to use it in complex with two other books: Essential Chest and Shoulders: An Intense 6-week Program (Men's Health Peak Conditioning Guides) , Essential Abs ("Men's Health" Peak Conditioning Guides) and Essential Arms (Men's Health Peak Conditioning Guides) .

4.0 out of 5 stars Hard work, but it works., 23 Oct 2007
Big fan of Mens Health and this book is like the mag, full of easy to follow advice. And it really works. Haven't quite got a six pack but I'll get there!

3.0 out of 5 stars so-so, but has interesting content, 27 Jan 2009
By A. Wingfield "wingsteroony" (Northants, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Unlike most I'm not going to rant and rave about this book. Firstly it is a 6 WEEK PROGRAMME. It's not really advertised that well and so when i got it I was a little surprised. I've got other magazines by mens health etc and so this is a nice little addition. Currently i'm on week 1 and it's very easy. In fact so much so that i'm pushing it a little harder. the exercises are easy enough for any level and the key message is eat sensibly, cut down on the fatty foods and do the sit ups and crunchs and reverse crunchs etc regularly. It also give exercises for the other core muscles to help strengthen lower back!!!!! VERY IMPORTANT!!! I give the book a 3 star for now.... I will improve this if like the others get start getting the results. The mens health programme i have is harder... so using both together i'm expecting some good results soon.
