Time graph for Killer Abs and Back

Begins with boxer-style aero/tone intervals and ends with some very challenging floorwork. Michael Olajide’s no-nonsense attitude is sure to keep you motivated and moving. You’ll begin with aero/tone intervals. The cardio ranges from fast-paced jab and punch combos to long-duration jump rope exercises. Intermixed within the cardio are standing toning intervals that strengthen your abs and back with abdominal twists and varied high kicks (that also work your buttocks). The following floorwork section is more intense. In addition to standard crunches and bicycles, it includes lying ab twists and tough isometric “V routines” (lying on your back, holding your torso and legs at a 45-degree angle). Requires a jump rope and 2 to 5 lb. dumbbells; a body bar is used in one section. ©2003. DVD has: Chapter menus.

Killer Abs and Back

Killer For Real
This is the most effective abs and back workout I have ever experienced. Two days later my entire core and back are being felt. Never have I had a workout to fire up my entire back with a burn, not pain. Michael is wonderful and I love his attitude and motivation. Just when you think you're done, he has more for you, I love the higher challenging reps. This will be in my weekly rotation forever. Highly recommend for those that are serious about getting into shape. Also, Delores Munoz's 10 minute butt workout is also KILLER! - posted by Jocelyn on 6/10/2009
AMAZING
This dvd is just amazing with standing cardio abs,w/o and floor abs w/o. I am a skinny girl with a litlle layer of fat on top of my belly and I think this dvd is going to solve that problem around 35 /4o min. We all need this one , and Michael ia sooo normal and down to earth keep up the good job .:) - posted by Star on 1/10/2009
AWESOME
This is great! I have been doing this DVD for three weeks now and I am still struggling through. It keeps the heart rate up the whole time. The 3 days a week that I do this I always look forward to it. - posted by Tracy on 1/8/2009
the best !
This is truly an effective abs and total body workout . Time flies by ! Thanx Michael - posted by Zorica Stoimenova on 1/4/2009
Fantastic!
This is a great workout! It's varied and different - not the same old boring crunches. It's intense, yet easy to follow. As has been pointed out, you really don't need the body bar. You will strengthen your core and develop your balance better without using a prop. - posted by RedPanda on 8/8/2008
Intense and very good!
I am an intermediate/advanced exerciser and I was able to keep up with this workout. It was tough and I worked up a really good sweat. I enjoyed all of the routines ~ none of them too long, but they were definitely effective. The next day, I felt it in my abs, but more so in my upper back, due to all of the punching combos. I will have to do this a few times a week, so I don't wind up so sore again ~ muscles I haven't used in a while! I highly recommend this, it's a great workout! - posted by Laura on 7/9/2008
Just Plain Killer...
I did this video for the first time earlier today and after doing SQUEEZE...this is a great abs workout, but if your legs are already tired, you'll feel it there too...my abs are already sore (only 4 hrs later) I hope no one says anything too funny tomorrow...it'll hurt to laugh! - posted by Melissa on 12/11/2007

great workout
just as everyone else has stated, this is a "killer" workout, I watched it first and thought "this looks too easy" but it was intense, i wish the intreval aerobic part was a little longer, even the jump rope part, although it will definately make you sweat! i've only done it twice, i'm hoping to see results soon! i recommend this dvd! - posted by cindee on 10/17/2006
Kick butt workout
I love this DVD, it is amazing I just finished doing it and ough my abs are burning (in a good way) love it!! Especially the standing part I hate doing floor work but this DVD keeps you so busy you don't even notice it flyes by for sure. Highly recommended, it going to be in my monthly rotation for a while. - posted by Sonia on 4/30/2006
Highly Recommend
I love this workout. I can't get into pilates and crunches bore me to death. This is a good alternative to all of those. My stomach, back and arms are sore the day afterwards. I carry most of my weight in my stomach so the fast paced, aerobic workout helps to burn fat and tone. - posted by Elizabeth on 3/12/2006

Reading a Time Graph
X
Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.

Chapter menus
X
You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).
Level
X
Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact
X
Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography
X
Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis
X
Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Floor aerobics & toning
X
Definition: Includes two workout activities. The aerobics segments are fast-paced standing movements like marching, dancing and jumping. These segments require no equipment. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against a resistance. These may include Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: The combination of both activities provides a balanced workout. The aerobics burns calories, strengthens your heart and increases stamina. The toning builds lean muscles, increases your metabolism and makes everyday activities easier.
