Hip Hop Abs vs Insanity. What Users Are Saying. Bottom Line. Need Help Finding a Diet? But the fitness celebrity says that's no personal benchmark. Beachbody , founded in Santa Monica in , claims a billion-dollar network of customers and fitness "coaches" that help sell workouts, diet plans and nutrition shakes to friends and family through social media.
While some consider the pyramid-style business plan to be suspect -- each coach gets a cut of sales, and a cut of the sales of their customers who in turn become coaches -- "Team Beachbody" diehards swear by the system, which uses portion-controlled eating and "accountability" groups. Workouts from Shaun T, one of 13 trainers in the Beachbody stable, are another tool in the program. In , P90X, an advanced level workout from Beachbody trainer Tony Horton, became one of the company's earliest successes -- former vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan name-checked the program in the run-up to the election.
But beyond Beachbody, the larger business of Shaun T Inc. This year the fitness guru hosted " My Diet is Better Than Yours ," an ABC reality competition series that pits health and fitness experts against each other in a kind of reverse "Biggest Loser" -- the trainers, not the ones who need to lose weight, get sent home. Shaun T is a lightning rod for stories of personal growth and change -- Shaun T helped someone lose pounds, Shaun T helped save a marriage.
But there was a time growing up in South Jersey when even he was in desperate need of an escape. Shaun Thompson was born in Camden and spent his early years with his mother and brother in Philadelphia. Feeling trapped by what he describes as four years of sexual abuse by a family member, he took refuge with his grandparents in Deptford.
His grandmother, Effie Dawson, was his "everything," he says, the "right-hand lady" to his grandfather, the Rev. Charles Dawson, pastor at Camden's Calvary Bible Tabernacle, who on Saturday mornings would go to a farmers' market to collect bread and distribute it to the community, then stand at a street corner near the church and preach with a megaphone. Today Blokker traces a direct line between his grandparents' example and his fitness empire.
At Deptford High School, Blokker was a natural at track and field, but he really wanted to be the next Anderson Cooper. Attending Rowan University in Glassboro on academic grants and scholarships -- he still sports a tattoo from his fraternity, Alpha Phi Alpha, on his bicep -- Blokker says he found both his career and sexual identity at college.
In fact, he now credits his coming out as gay -- which his mother and "super-masculine, football-playing brother" embraced -- with helping him stay lean, because he'd notice that gay men were often in good shape. Except that after a steady college diet of pizza and soda, he found himself 50 pounds heavier. Like, I'm just not into this,'" he says. He discovered his true calling, he says, in the gym at the Rowan Rec Center, where he manned the front desk and once got fired because he talked too much, before he was rehired.
He holds court each time he visits his family still lives in the area, so he doesn't go long without a trip to Jersey -- whether it's stepping in on a summer camp Zumba class or reminiscing with staff about that time he took the weight-loss stimulant Xenadrine and couldn't fall asleep.
Whether it was those first post-workout endorphins or something more, Blokker knew he wanted to connect to people through fitness. He changed his major from communications to health and exercise science. Courtesy Mandee Casey. Tina Pinocci, associate vice president at Rowan, recalls how Blokker would draw up to students for his hip-hop aerobics class -- "We had to have a building manager because we had to cut it off," she says. After college, Blokker settled into a comfortable job as a health program manager at Wyeth, a pharmaceutical company.

Adriana, I leave them to you… What is Hip Hop abs? How does it work? What to expect from Hip Hop Abs? The bet was placed, and so here is my prediction and what to expect at the end of your 30 days : Lose somewhere between 10 and 16 pounds Drop couple of inches from around the waist Tone your butt and legs, especially thighs Small and nicely carved six pack, or at least a very well defined and flat abdomen A significant drop in body fat percentage Improved cardio, endurance, and agility Greatly improved coordination something that even very advanced workouts lack to offer Easy routines and lack of intensity A lot and lot of fun My results with Hip Hop abs Slightly differing from some aspects of his prediction, I still had to pay the bet.
First thing first, I lost almost 18 pounds. Now while he can prescribe this to measurement fluctuation I did weigh myself in the morning , it is still somewhat more than his prediction. Most of my weight was lost, as I suspect, in the lower parts of my body. Namely, all the continuous movements made me lose a great deal of fat tissue off my thighs, and the calves became defined as well, meaning I drained some fat tissue from there also.
I toned my legs and butt, but also noticed a definition showing in my shoulders and biceps. My abs are flat, and though I cannot brag with a nice set of six pack, it is exactly what I wanted and now my abdomen looks way better than my days at the gym.
The complex moves targeting my core are probably the ones to blame, and I now get the picture of what a standing prolonged isometric crunch can do. When it comes to body fat percentage, I cannot say with certainty as to whether or not it was a significant drop. I can still sense some fat tissue below my skin on places around my body. But as much as I would love to have a ripped body like those of athletes, I realize that this is an excellent bargain for the time and energy invested.
I look a mix between skinny and toned, and can say that the results are great. When it comes to inches around the waist, he was dead wrong. Instead of the expected few, I lost nearly six. And I thought my waist was just fine before and actually bragged about it. But I digress… Cardio is way better now and my recreational weekend rides are much more fun. Here is the thing now- while as many guys with fitness experience in their background would consider Hip Hop abs a workout of low intensity, I beg to differ.
Many would see Shaun T dancing with couple of girls in the background and assume, out of a hat, that these workouts are easy. Hip Hop abs — Review of the workouts First thing first, the program is very well made.
Ab sculpt Ab sculpt is a compilation of some really unorthodox core strengthening exercises. Fat Burning Cardio My favorite one from the program. Hip buns and thighs This one is going to tone your butt and thighs and introduce you to more static and repetitive movements. Total length of the workout: 25 minutes. Total body burn This is the longest workout of the program, and thus somewhat harder. Length: 42 minutes. Before you start, read these tips Along with this Hip Hop abs review, I wanted to give you some useful tips on how to get the most out of this workout, and avoid the mistakes that I did.
What you will need aside from the program is a water bottle and a towel. A mat on the floor, or any other soft material in fact. Since the exercises on the floor are usually static, everything you take will do. Ventilate the room and lower the temperature if you can.
Judging by a discussion I had with Slavko, it seems as though most people buying Beachbody workouts like the new p90 workout learn this the hard way after nearly loosing breath.
