Hip Hop Abs By Shaun T.HipHopAbs is a workout program designed by choreographer Shaun T. It involves dance moves that focus on tightening the abs using Shaun T’s signature technique, Tilt Tuck & Tighten. Shaun T employs Tilt Tuck & Tighten to replace traditional crunches. Many of the dance moves in HipHopAbs are a variation of Tilt Tuck & Tighten so that the abs are engaged throughout the entire workout.
Dancing is a great cardiovascular activity by itself. When the dancing is focused on toning the body, it is an even greater workout. Even though
Shaun T indicates that the moves from
HipHopAbs can be done in a club setting, you might draw the wrong kind of attention if you try to bust a HipHopAbs move on the dance floor. However, in the comfort of your own home, Shaun T’s moves are great. Although the focus is mainly on the abs, most of the Hip Hop Abs videos provide a full body workout.
Shaun T teaches Tilt, Tuck, & Tighten technique in the Secret To Flat Abs. Ab Sculpt, Hips Buns and Thighs, and Total Body Burn all use dance to tone certain areas of the body. Ab Sculpt works the abs without doing any crunches. Hips Buns and Thighs uses dance to tighten the lower body muscles in addition to the abs. Total Body Burn focuses on toning the entire body and includes the use of light weights. Although all of the Hip Hop Abs workouts have a cardio effect, it is Fat Burning Cardio that actually focuses on aerobic dance. The purpose of Fat Burning Cardio is to raise the heart rate through dance while having fun.
HipHopAbs includes several bonuses. One of the bonuses is Last Minute Abs. This is a five-minute ab workout that targets the abdominal muscles including the obliques. Five minutes may not seem like a long time, but Shaun T makes every minute count. Also included are the dance routines Hip Hop Groove and Take It to the Dance Floor, which are choreographed dance routines designed for use in the club setting.
Many fear that a lack of coordination will prevent this workout program from being beneficial for them. It is true that there is a lot of choreography in HipHopAbs that might make keeping up a bit difficult. Fortunately, mistakes burn calories too. The dancing doesn’t have to be perfect, especially if it’s fun and gets you sweating. Shaun T actually encourages you to go back to the basic Party Bounce move, which is simply the Tilt Tuck & Tighten done to the beat of the music, when you get overwhelmed. Over time the moves will become second nature even if you don’t have a rhythmic bone in your body.
Hip Hop Abs is a workout that incorporates the fun of dancing with a focus on getting that six-pack you’ve always wanted. It’s relatively easy to do, the music is great, and the results will be noticeable in a short time if you stick with the program. The best thing of all is that Hip Hop Abs is fun. It’s not everyday that working out is actually fun.
