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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hard work, but it works., 23 Oct 2007

By	Alex C (UK) - See all my reviews

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars It makes you work very hard, B.U.T: IT DOES WORK, 30 Oct 2003

By	"axe1184" - See all my reviews

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) .

5.0 out of 5 stars Yep, it's there!, 27 May 2009

By	Kabir Orlowski "ChaoPhray" (London, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am after week 5 of the programme and hell, I saw it coming a couple of days ago - nice ridges on my tummy, well when I contract and in favourable lighting ;), but it's definitely there. So, it does work.
The book it pretty much straightforward and easy to follow. I have altered it a little, for example from week 1 I was using extra weight for some crunches, and also did more than one set. On the other hand, due to time constraints I didn't do as much cardio/fat burn as suggested (20-30 minutes 3 times a week), so that probably slowed things down in my case. Already after week 1 I felt my back stronger and started walking more upright, which felt great!
This book is full of good advice, definitely worth a try!

3.0 out of 5 stars so-so, but has interesting content
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... Read more
