Still here in 2023 going strong! Best abs workout there is but don't forget that you can do this ever day for 20 years and not see any abs unless your diet is right.
He says "I'll see you in 24 hours" so every day I have to do this exercise 8 minutes later than the day before. It has now gotten so far that I have to do them at work. I fear that it may cost me my job. On the plus side my abs are really getting into shape, gang
No ads, no sponsors, no dude with out of shirt flexing talking for 10 mins, this is just straight to the point. Good luck to all trying to better themselves. I'm on 9 days STRAIGHT and i can see the improvement on my abs. These are legit !!!
I don't see anyone actually sticking with it and giving updates on results... I'm going to be updating all of you on this journey. I found this in high school 10 years back and never stuck with it. Now is the time. Today is New Years Eve and we're all going to get that 6 pack this year! About me: 6'5 and 230 lbs. I was tall and skinny. I purposely put on extra weight to fill out my body. Not fat, I'm a pretty normal body type. I went from 177 to 230 in about 3 months (I naturally have a super fast metabolism, so I had to eat a ton every few hours to put the weight on). I've never been more confident in terms of not feeling skinny for my height. Day 1: Did this yesterday. The workout went well. The toughest part I'd say are the leg pushes. Make sure you use like a folded blanket or workout mat below you so you don't hurt yourself. Also, don't swing your legs like he says. Controlled movements. Day 2: I just finished the workout. When he says "squeeze" you need to listen. You should be focusing all of your energy on your abs during each separate routine. If you're squeezing you'll feel the burn much more and it is tougher but you know it's working. I feel like when you don't squeeze as you're doing the routine you're just running through the motions and selling yourself short. Everything is a controlled movement so pay attention to the minor details. Also, during the last curl, the video skips about 20 seconds. Do not stop when he says stop or you won't be doing the last routine for a full 30 seconds. You know that. Don't take a shortcut. Add an extra 20-30 seconds in your head and once you get there do the isometric and squeeze/flex for 5 seconds at least as hard as you can. So, 2 days in and I feel a nice soreness on my abs. Day 3: Did the workout, but forgot to update! I'm still feeling the burn which is great. Keep it up gang! Day 4: I went out and bought a punching bag and the person I bought it from made a huge error by filling it with sand AND water....so as you can imagine I've been scraping and shaking out the mud from the base out of the trunk of my car. It was about 300 lbs. I got some out slightly before the base slipped off the edge of my trunk and I had to try and scrape it out without much height so it's been a struggle. I attempted to lift it when I scooped some more out and strained my back like an idiot so i skipped Day 4 due to back soreness. Naturally, Id like to do the exercise daily. I felt terrible skipping it because I felt like my "non-existent abs" were upset that I left them hanging 😅😂 I will continue Day 5 today and let you guys know how it goes. Keep rocking! Day 5 - back still strained. Day 6 - back still strained. I think I'm finally well enough to continue the workout. I'm annoyed that I'm basically starting all over, but it's fine. I'll update it tonight. It'll technically be Day 1 again... Day 1 AGAIN 01/09/23: I did the routine x2 today because I feel like I need to catch up. I think I'm going to do it twice a day from now on. I imagine you'll get quicker results. Let's go gang! Day 2: 1/10/23 - I did it 2x today as well. You can certainly feel a difference in how sore you are compared to 1x a day. I'm trying to push myself. I just do it one time through (full 8 mins) and then I restart the video immediately after and do it again. As apposed to once in the morning and again later in the day/night when you're body is more tired. I recommend just knocking both out in the same sitting so it's done and you won't have to worry about it anymore. Go at your own pace. Don't feel the need to do it 2x a day if you're sore enough off of 1x a day. Let's go gang! Day 3: 01/11/23 - Workout complete. No signs of abs yet. Day 4: 01/12/23 - Workout complete. Day 5: 01/13/23 - Workout complete Day 6: 01/14/23 - Workout complete Day 7: 01/15/23 - Workout complete Day 8: 01/16/23 - Workout complete Day 9: 01/17/23 - Workout complete Day 10: 01/18/23 - Workout complete Day 11: 01/19/23 - workout complete Day 12: 01/20/23 - workout complete Day 13: 01/21/23 - workout complete. Still not results but I feel great that I'm keeping up with it. Hoping to see something by the end of the month. Day 14: 01/22/23* - workout complete Day 15: 01/23/23 - workout complete Day 16: 01/24/23 - workout complete Day 17: 01/25/23 - workout complete Day 18: 01/26/23 - workout complete Day 19: 01/27/23 - workout complete
Heres my results. I was like 14yo and wanted to have an abs ( for girls ofc), and found this video, so started doing this workout over the summer at every night. My build was very normal, i wasnt skinny, wasnt fat, and at the end of the summer i got a noticible abs. 8 years passed since then, and I tried a LOT OF abs/core workouts over the years, but I am always coming back to this one. This is the best ever, and I consider all my gain to this video. This also reminds of the great times when I was young.(Im 22 now lol) But I advice you to keep more rests in between exercises. Train Hard and be consistent, and you will se great results! Other tip: Find the 2 exercises that you dont really like, and to the first basic chrunces instead of them. So do the first exercise least 3 times.
Amen brother, I started doing this video around the same time! I've taken breaks from this video but I always find myself coming back to it over 20 years later.
For everyone who is questioning if this workout truly does work, I am pleased to say that it does. I have been doing these exercises everyday for about 2 months, and the results have been astounding. I have never found a program to work better than this. My advice to newcomers and fellow "gang members" would be to do each exercise precisely, and at your own pace, do these exercises consistently, meaning everyday, and to have a healthy diet with doing the 8 minute ab program. If so, I believe you will find your results to be as pleasing as mine. Good luck!
For everyone who's neck hurts while doing this, try to concentrate on one spot on the ceiling and stay on it, you'll find it involves more tension on the abs than on the neck. Hope it helps gang!
2024! Best ab workout! I introduced this routine to a friend who is a Colorado Body Building Champion, Gymnastics Coach, Aerobics instructor, and certified weight lifting trainer...she is amazed at how it is further defining her waist!!
Started using this abs workout back in the 90s when it was still on VHS. I do other ab workouts but always come back this one. Even doing other ab workouts, coming back to this never fails to make me sore 2 days afterwards. This is still, by far, one of the best , no nonsense ab workout videos out there. 😁👍
I’ve been doin this on and off then fell into a deep depression, stopped doin it for a few months, am back at it again, and honestly my abs are coming back in. I’m really happy ngl. I’ve tried other workouts but I hate them, this one I enjoy bc he empowers you to keep goin
Over the last decade I've found so many badass ab/core training videos that have helped me a lot but out of all the ones I learned, this one I found when I was a sophomore in high school first getting into fitness has always been my fav. I still love it!
I don't know how I haven't seen your comment here before Jax! Amazing to see a content creator whose videos I love to watch also loves the videos I love!!
The instructor's name is Jamie Brenkus, he was a YT channel. I thanked him for the video because I've working out with him for the last 8 years and he replied!
@D Smith it's like the gospel of Christ, the video may be old but the muscles worked are still the same. Christ might have come in a different Era, but the message for the heart and soul remains the same.
I first did this workout 20 years ago and to restart it again after a long ass break makes me feel the mind muscle connection again, the motivational words are just right mid workout. I think this is the best ab workout video I've ever followed
I don't care what anyone says, there's no way not to use the neck, yes I lift my body with my abs but wtf do you think is supporting my giant head each time a do a crunch.
If you feel it in your neck just take a day or two of rest. The exercises will strain your neck at first while the muscles in the area catch up in strength proportional to the exercises being done. After a week or two you shouldn't feel the strain anymore even if you do the 8 minute abs workout twice a day. (Theoretically)
No, these crunches are incorrect. I've got lower back problems (herniated disc) and I attend physiotherapy classes. Try doing this (the correct way according to my doctor/trainer). lay flat on your back, hold your with both hands (fingers wide). elbows facing the sky and try pulling yourself up. elbows have to be facing the ceiling at all times, same as your face. your neck should be absolutely relaxed and your hands should be holding your head. when it gets too easy you may push your head backwards and try pulling your head up with your hands.briefly- face should always be facing up so you dong bend your back like this instructor.
try to... touch your chest with your chin when you do a crunch. I hope you got the idea. When your neck is stretched like these, there is less chance to injure it... and more work for abs)))
This is still hands down the best workout for abs....been doing it for years....and it's the only thing that has ever consistently worked. You must do this EVERY day though....one day off at the most...but then 6 days straight. People think I do some crazy training regimen to keep my abs, but all I do is this (daily). It's only 8 min people.....I bet 8 min has already passed since reading these comments.....there's really no excuse not to do this because you are 'busy' People who don't "see" the results may need to tweak their diet....you may have well-defined abs, but the layer of fat on your stomach is hiding them. This program will never lose it's effectiveness, it's the best bang-for-the-buck ab workout in existence IMO. Just like he says "these work if you do them right"
''It's only 8 min people.....I bet 8 min has already passed since reading these comments'' Very true, i've been reading/laughting on this comments for half an hour.
People saying you're feeling this in your neck; A) look up into the air not sideways at the screen and B) try to squeeze your abs or obliques whenever you're doing the exercise. It helps to focus the attention on the target area. If you don't do that then there's a tendency to tense the neck or the lower back and absorb the pressure.
I've been coming back here roughly 14 years, thankfully I've won my battle with obesity in that time too. When the music changes towards the end I realise I am going to live
these 8 min videos are the best workouts on the whole world. they really work (as he says) they are short enough and not boring. I wish there would be more like this.
I first found this workout on 2016, did it for about a month and it made me loose a lot of weight. I could see changes in a week. Here I am… 2022, came back to it because I have faith in it… day one done 🧡
Very quickly, as someone who has always hated working out my abs, this TOTALLY WORKS. I've done this for several months now, as well as on and off for the last few years, and even following this 2 or 3 times a week will strengthen your abdominals. Also, what's ironic about this workout is, the better you get at executing these movements, the more difficult the workout becomes, because you learn how to better stimulate your abs using the movements. Regarding the neck pain some are getting from this, I would recommend using a shorter range of motion (this is why he recommends merely crunching and not doing a full old fashioned sit up). Focus less on completing the movement as he does, and more on trying to stimulate the abs. If your abs start burning, it means you're doing it right! Best of luck!
Hi yes I have been somewhat lazy from december and back on it since february. This gives nice bricks on the stomach. Back to 40 reps on each. I sometimes do it two times in a row instead of 40 reps once. (a tip is put on music, loud and do it, its a booster for me) I've seen different styles of doing abs and this 8 min abs gives nice bricks. I hope I will be able to take some pictures in the summer for you guys so you can see what this exercise gives.
14 years later. I still revert to this video and I love doing it every time. On god this workout when done consistently everyday or even every other day works. If i could post a picture on here i would do it for evidence but let me tell you gang. It’s magic. #savethelowerback
I used to follow along with this back in high school. 14 years later, I still remember the entire routine (and, ahem, music). I would've thought I outgrew this, but accelerated pace of movement always humbles me. And whenever I'm feeling a little unengaged around the abs, I gave this one a play to hone them. More than the actual workout, I watch this because it brings back memories. It reminds me about how I felt when I first dared to imagine that I could craft a body that I wanted. And if I ever feel motivation trickle away from it, I know I can always play this to reset my motivation: back to Day 1 all over again. I'm clearly overly sentimental. All this for an 8-minute ab video. If you're reading this, do the workout now.
You couldn’t have said it any better, my thoughts exactly. The nostalgia factor is for real.. high school gym class. The early ‘90s “home shopping network” style music is hilarious.
Spot on. Been doing this off and on since gym class in the late 90's...nothing works better, the results are amazing. Also the sentimental value is genuine. Good times.
This works I promise you. Thought it was genetically impossible for me to have defined abs but I have done this every day for about 3 weeks along with a bit of cardio and eating much healthier and I now have a visible six pack. Do not give up after a week, keep doing this and you will see results.
I've been doing this routine 4-5 times a week for ~3 weeks now. Just thought I'd say for all the comments about neck soreness, I think your neck just needs to adjust (and I mean muscle pain/soreness, if your spine hurts you're probably doing it wrong). My neck was sore after the first two routines, but no longer after that. Also, as I continued, I felt a noticeable difference in being able to "pull with my abs and not my neck". At first I felt like "well easier said than done, my neck muscles are still very much involved", but eventually I found could lever myself up with primarily my core in a way I wasn't doing before, like how contracting your bicep curls your arm up.
+Malus1531 exactly. Your neck begins to hurt due to abdominal muscle fatigue. Fairly common sense when you stop to think about it: this program puts a great deal of stress on your abdominal muscles. Once they get tired, your neck begins to compensate for the workout.
Thanks so much for this comment. I did experience neck pain my first try. It made me concerned, but I think now that I will just continue and the pain will lessen. Take care!
When I was 15 and very fat, I started to do this 3 times a week. The results were absolutely awesome, I really reached the six pack. I recommend this to anyone who wishes to exercise abs.
yep, but nothing too sofisticated. I've just read some articles about diet and started eating in smaller portions but more times (2 on 2 or 3 on 3 hours) My metabolism got very accelerated and after the first months I could eat with less control.
This whole work out combo (not just 8 min abs) has changed my life! I've been doing it steady for 2 months straight now and the results are unfathomable. Who knew just a half hour work out everyday could be so beneficial to how you look. Not only do I look better. I feel better! Can't wait to see how I will look at the 3 month mark. I definitely recommend this for EVERYONE!!! Don't get discouraged just push through and you will be amazed at the results! As cheese as this guys video is, it works!
After years of overthinking about getting fit, these simple videos are the best. Don't think it's silly, it's the basic stuff that actually can drag you out of being unfit
Damn 20 million views. Probably reached way more people on TH-cam than whatever VHS of this sold in the 90s. I wonder if the instructor guy has seen how popular this got so many years later
+Nathalie Elliott My doctor recommended me this weight loss program. He told me that this is one of the best natural programs which does not result "yo-yo" effect when you stop using it. I've started using it 2 weeks ago and proudly say that I saw first results after first week of using it. Now I've lost about 12 lbs and still counting My vouch for it!
+jeremimi If only he were still alive... He was brutally murdered only a few years ago. Police have no leads but they suspect it was a result of gang violence.
I remember I did this workout every day along with weight training for 2-3 months the summer going into freshman year of highschool. I easily had one of the best bodies in my school. this shit works brah
I used to follow this in high school over a decade ago, now I'm back to help fix my anterior pelvic tilt. It's amazing how this is still the best ab workout I found
2024 checking in! These exercises are safe, effective, and they are FUN and they WORK!
Don't need to do this everyday tho. Great little workout tho, gang!

My abs are burning through my fat cinnamon rolls
Davis 'n' Karlis Is it burning or pain? There’s a difference.
You are probably jerking your movements
Best part is the beginning when I lay down. It's difficult to start sometimes
Yo that part feels so good 😂 ahhhhh 🥱
Some people shake when they start cause they're abs aren't warmed up so the body shakes to pump blood and warm up. It's really interesting

Even doing other ab workouts, coming back to this never fails to make me sore 2 days afterwards. This is still, by far, one of the best , no nonsense ab workout videos out there. 😁👍
"It's only 8 minutes long, EVVEERRYY DAAYYY!!!"
To sum this video up in 1 word; Gang
Firm up!
Squeeeeeze!
there you go 👌
Starseed lmfao :d
fun party game: take a shot each time he says gang
I’ve been doin this on and off then fell into a deep depression, stopped doin it for a few months, am back at it again, and honestly my abs are coming back in. I’m really happy ngl. I’ve tried other workouts but I hate them, this one I enjoy bc he empowers you to keep goin
Back here in 2024. This was the best video. I was so happy to find it. Can’t wait to start doing this again.
I had to turn the music down when doing this or else my family will think I'm watching some old school porno or something.
IKR!!
heroftime91 jajajaj I've been thinking the same since I was in my twenties! Hahhaahha
Hahahhaha
Over the last decade I've found so many badass ab/core training videos that have helped me a lot but out of all the ones I learned, this one I found when I was a sophomore in high school first getting into fitness has always been my fav. I still love it!
I don't know how I haven't seen your comment here before Jax! Amazing to see a content creator whose videos I love to watch also loves the videos I love!!
I been doing this since middle school when I had it on vhs so glad someone put it on TH-cam!
The instructor's name is Jamie Brenkus, he was a YT channel. I thanked him for the video because I've working out with him for the last 8 years and he replied!
@D Smith it's like the gospel of Christ, the video may be old but the muscles worked are still the same. Christ might have come in a different Era, but the message for the heart and soul remains the same.
Same here, this is legendary and my abs would tell you the same
One of the first workouts I did as a teenager through TH-cam. I’ve gained so much knowledge of the industry since then
I first did this workout 20 years ago and to restart it again after a long ass break makes me feel the mind muscle connection again, the motivational words are just right mid workout. I think this is the best ab workout video I've ever followed
He said "remember those love handles" like i don't still have them
We likes your coments because it helps us ( my brother and me) to know a new word
Lol
😂😂
Nice lil break tho 🤣🤣
Lmao 😂
I don't care what anyone says, there's no way not to use the neck, yes I lift my body with my abs but wtf do you think is supporting my giant head each time a do a crunch.
that's not a big mistake just try to use you abs mostly, and for the neck don't use a pillow when you sleep.
If you feel it in your neck just take a day or two of rest. The exercises will strain your neck at first while the muscles in the area catch up in strength proportional to the exercises being done. After a week or two you shouldn't feel the strain anymore even if you do the 8 minute abs workout twice a day. (Theoretically)
No, these crunches are incorrect. I've got lower back problems (herniated disc) and I attend physiotherapy classes. Try doing this (the correct way according to my doctor/trainer). lay flat on your back, hold your with both hands (fingers wide). elbows facing the sky and try pulling yourself up. elbows have to be facing the ceiling at all times, same as your face. your neck should be absolutely relaxed and your hands should be holding your head. when it gets too easy you may push your head backwards and try pulling your head up with your hands.briefly- face should always be facing up so you dong bend your back like this instructor.
try to... touch your chest with your chin when you do a crunch. I hope you got the idea. When your neck is stretched like these, there is less chance to injure it... and more work for abs)))
Bartas Jovaisa I will try what you suggested. Thank you.
who’s still here 2024!?
Don't worry about the neck pain. I've been doing this workout daily and I don't feel my neck anymore.
This is still hands down the best workout for abs....been doing it for years....and it's the only thing that has ever consistently worked. You must do this EVERY day though....one day off at the most...but then 6 days straight. People think I do some crazy training regimen to keep my abs, but all I do is this (daily). It's only 8 min people.....I bet 8 min has already passed since reading these comments.....there's really no excuse not to do this because you are 'busy' People who don't "see" the results may need to tweak their diet....you may have well-defined abs, but the layer of fat on your stomach is hiding them. This program will never lose it's effectiveness, it's the best bang-for-the-buck ab workout in existence IMO. Just like he says "these work if you do them right"
Thanks for the motivation I needed it! :)
''It's only 8 min people.....I bet 8 min has already passed since reading these comments''
Very true, i've been reading/laughting on this comments for half an hour.
DDhide14 ok... Am starting right now... From today
Do you keep doing this routine non stop? like in the video?
yuriy yakimov no its impossible, u need breaks, my friend does it non stop, i cant
People saying you're feeling this in your neck; A) look up into the air not sideways at the screen and B) try to squeeze your abs or obliques whenever you're doing the exercise. It helps to focus the attention on the target area. If you don't do that then there's a tendency to tense the neck or the lower back and absorb the pressure.
thank you
I've been doing this for a long time, but my neck is so stiff from the push throughs
You're tensing your neck then :) just make sure you look up and not ahead when you do them
35 of us have watched this 1 million times. So far.
I've been coming back here roughly 14 years, thankfully I've won my battle with obesity in that time too. When the music changes towards the end I realise I am going to live
Who is here for 24 four hours back to back 8 Minute abs quarantine marathon? WE GOT THIS GANG!
Yes I did do a great job! See ya tomorrow 1994 guy!
his name was jaime brenkus
Now I understand it. After 22mn sets, a member of project 8 Minute Abs gets a name!
His name... is Jaime Brenkus
***** it's a fight club reference
Slick Trademarc you just broke the first two rules!!
Got your Abs 2017guy?
I have 5 kids and ab definition bc i’ve been following this routine since I was 20 and I’m 41.
And even though I know it by heart I still pull up this video every once a while just for the nostalgia and the campy enthusiasm!
It’s a great video! 😂
Who‘s still here in 2024 😅🎉
Flagged for glorifying gang culture.
:'D :'D :'D :'D
Now I'm getting abs from laughing!
:'D :'D :'D :'D
Chris Devine it took me half a second to connect why, and then LOLOLOL!
15 more kilos gang! That's it! Keep it going! Push that product! I really want you to feel that money flow gang!
Okay Gang! Today we're gonna learn initiation! The first exercise is called the curb stomp!
Welll down, mate!
these 8 min videos are the best workouts on the whole world. they really work (as he says) they are short enough and not boring. I wish there would be more like this.
I first found this workout on 2016, did it for about a month and it made me loose a lot of weight. I could see changes in a week. Here I am… 2022, came back to it because I have faith in it… day one done 🧡
Who's still doing it in June 2023? The best! 💯💯
Very quickly, as someone who has always hated working out my abs, this TOTALLY WORKS. I've done this for several months now, as well as on and off for the last few years, and even following this 2 or 3 times a week will strengthen your abdominals. Also, what's ironic about this workout is, the better you get at executing these movements, the more difficult the workout becomes, because you learn how to better stimulate your abs using the movements.
Regarding the neck pain some are getting from this, I would recommend using a shorter range of motion (this is why he recommends merely crunching and not doing a full old fashioned sit up). Focus less on completing the movement as he does, and more on trying to stimulate the abs. If your abs start burning, it means you're doing it right!
Best of luck!
One of the best TH-cam videos of all time
Hey Gang! 2023 coming to an end and will still be doing this workout in 2024. See you in 24hrs Gang.
My day doesn't feel right if I don't hear that "hey gang!" every morning
Hey gang, I just did my 8 minute abs for the 1000th time this morning!
3 years? I switched up to 50repetitions on each, since january its august tomorrow :D
Hi yes I have been somewhat lazy from december and back on it since february. This gives nice bricks on the stomach. Back to 40 reps on each. I sometimes do it two times in a row instead of 40 reps once.
(a tip is put on music, loud and do it, its a booster for me)
I've seen different styles of doing abs and this 8 min abs gives nice bricks. I hope I will be able to take some pictures in the summer for you guys so you can see what this exercise gives.
Isaac Travers are your abs really cut?!
Ok so....what are the results?
I hope your still killing it brother
8:30 “Last 30 seconds!”
8:33: “Ten more seconds!”
It’s 2022 and we still here✊✊✊
2022 and still here! Who else?
"We're having fun"
Lollll right
Facts Its fun but hard work
these exercises are safe, effective, and they are fun and they work
😆 best comment ever.
"ok gang" "hey gang" *corny elevator music* "not this time gang" omg this is so 90s
Maybe because it was made in the 90's?
Sam Clough Maybe my comment just completely flew over your head?
2023 and Inlove these guys!!!!
2024 where you at!!
Been using this video for 14 years. It's really good! Shame on TH-cam for taking this one off the search.
If your neck hurts dont look at the screen look up :) it really helps ;)
Still the original and best! No matter what else I’ve tried, this has always been my go to. Thank you, Jamie Brenkus!
14 years later. I still revert to this video and I love doing it every time. On god this workout when done consistently everyday or even every other day works. If i could post a picture on here i would do it for evidence but let me tell you gang. It’s magic. #savethelowerback
This video makes your abs, but proper nutrition will reveal them.
proper nutrition and cardio
@@kellyray619 calorie deficit and cardio

Facts
I used to follow along with this back in high school. 14 years later, I still remember the entire routine (and, ahem, music).
I would've thought I outgrew this, but accelerated pace of movement always humbles me. And whenever I'm feeling a little unengaged around the abs, I gave this one a play to hone them.
More than the actual workout, I watch this because it brings back memories. It reminds me about how I felt when I first dared to imagine that I could craft a body that I wanted. And if I ever feel motivation trickle away from it, I know I can always play this to reset my motivation: back to Day 1 all over again. I'm clearly overly sentimental. All this for an 8-minute ab video.
If you're reading this, do the workout now.
You couldn’t have said it any better, my thoughts exactly.
The nostalgia factor is for real.. high school gym class.
The early ‘90s “home shopping network” style music is hilarious.
Spot on. Been doing this off and on since gym class in the late 90's...nothing works better, the results are amazing. Also the sentimental value is genuine. Good times.
2023! Say hello 👋🏼
I’m doing that exercises during 3 years and my abs is perfect 👍🏼 love it
Putting an ad in the middle of this timed 8-minute workout is despicable
HIS NAME IS Jaime Brenkus! He has a facebook page! Go like him. He's our hero!
No it's Gustin Bieber fool
Who’s still here in 2020💪
Me and my girlfriend xD
Still works
TH-cam took this video out of it's search results! !
@@jfmc2581 yes, it is hard to find now :( I always put the name of this chanel to search box "GB"
Chase Scarlett Rona virus or not, we still at it
Still here since 2021 to 2024
Still going in 2023. Hasn’t hurt me, gang!
I always come back to this. I hope this video never leaves TH-cam
This works I promise you. Thought it was genetically impossible for me to have defined abs but I have done this every day for about 3 weeks along with a bit of cardio and eating much healthier and I now have a visible six pack. Do not give up after a week, keep doing this and you will see results.
Sharks R. Great 3 weeks 😂😂
lol you do it day after day for one year at least to see the nice result that you'd like to keep for a long time
No way. Abs after 3 weeks 👀
Who is the 2024 gang? ❤
We out here
Me
You did a really good job. I'll see you in 24 years!
I've been doing this routine 4-5 times a week for ~3 weeks now. Just thought I'd say for all the comments about neck soreness, I think your neck just needs to adjust (and I mean muscle pain/soreness, if your spine hurts you're probably doing it wrong). My neck was sore after the first two routines, but no longer after that. Also, as I continued, I felt a noticeable difference in being able to "pull with my abs and not my neck". At first I felt like "well easier said than done, my neck muscles are still very much involved", but eventually I found could lever myself up with primarily my core in a way I wasn't doing before, like how contracting your bicep curls your arm up.
+Malus1531 exactly. Your neck begins to hurt due to abdominal muscle fatigue. Fairly common sense when you stop to think about it: this program puts a great deal of stress on your abdominal muscles. Once they get tired, your neck begins to compensate for the workout.
Thanks so much for this comment. I did experience neck pain my first try. It made me concerned, but I think now that I will just continue and the pain will lessen. Take care!
When I was 15 and very fat, I started to do this 3 times a week. The results were absolutely awesome, I really reached the six pack. I recommend this to anyone who wishes to exercise abs.
Did you diet?
yep, but nothing too sofisticated. I've just read some articles about diet and started eating in smaller portions but more times (2 on 2 or 3 on 3 hours) My metabolism got very accelerated and after the first months I could eat with less control.
+Andrew Hammel cardio to right?
+Andrew Hammel how long before you saw results?
in more or less 6, 7 months following it with discipline
Great video. I started these with my VHS tape, then my DVD. Lost both, so glad this is on TH-cam. Thanks Jamie for this video from 1994.
2023. Still doing this after all these years. Still the best one.
This whole work out combo (not just 8 min abs) has changed my life! I've been doing it steady for 2 months straight now and the results are unfathomable. Who knew just a half hour work out everyday could be so beneficial to how you look. Not only do I look better. I feel better! Can't wait to see how I will look at the 3 month mark. I definitely recommend this for EVERYONE!!! Don't get discouraged just push through and you will be amazed at the results! As cheese as this guys video is, it works!
Hi. What do you mean by saying "This whole work out combo"? What are the other videos named?
It's 2020 and we still here. Who's with me?💪
Hi from Russia🐻👋
Филипп Баженов hi from the US ✌️
Hi from Poland
Привет )
Been doing these since high school (I'm 25yo). Hello from Japan!
Another year, another year of 8 minute abs
It's 2024 on the calendar, but I keep coming back to this safe, effective and fun workout
I am getting a six pack on my neck... Am i doing this right?
No
1243ism hahahahahhaha. its normal
1243ism i was told everyone gets neck pain the first few times
lmao
It's normal for neck muscles to be sore at first.
Who's here with me from the Corona-virus homeworkout gang?
semco right here big fella
Fr fucc school homework😭😭
Wohooooo😻😻
Yup... in November
Yes sir
The hardest part about this is letting your family know you’re part of a gang
😂😂
After years of overthinking about getting fit, these simple videos are the best.
Don't think it's silly, it's the basic stuff that actually can drag you out of being unfit
Damn 20 million views. Probably reached way more people on TH-cam than whatever VHS of this sold in the 90s. I wonder if the instructor guy has seen how popular this got so many years later
+Nathalie Elliott My doctor recommended me this weight loss program. He told me that this is one of the best natural programs which does not result "yo-yo" effect when you stop using it. I've started using it 2 weeks ago and proudly say that I saw first results after first week of using it. Now I've lost about 12 lbs and still counting My vouch for it!
+jeremimi Most of those views were me though.
+Chris Devine and me, haha
+jeremimi If only he were still alive... He was brutally murdered only a few years ago.
Police have no leads but they suspect it was a result of gang violence.
+Al Val I hope everyone got this. best comment I've seen. I actually pictured that scenario:
"now hold on a second gang, I can pay you tomorrow..."
I remember I did this workout every day along with weight training for 2-3 months the summer going into freshman year of highschool. I easily had one of the best bodies in my school. this shit works brah
I'm pretty sure any workout works when you're 14. hahahah ;)
How the heck can this dude talk and workout at the same time, this hurt! 💥🔥🔥🔥🔥
brooo that's what i said today when i finished the workout 😂💪🏿💪🏿
I used to follow this in high school over a decade ago, now I'm back to help fix my anterior pelvic tilt. It's amazing how this is still the best ab workout I found
Were you able to fix your apt?

+Megan Newman
I just told my friend this has been my abs workout for the past 15 years LOL

How long did it actually take until you saw improvement? :)
when he goes "couple more" and then "five more" I wanna slap him through the monitor
Hahahahahahahahah
My gymn teacher did exactly the same all the time xD
He makes up for it at the end though with the ol’ “last 30 seconds give it to me, 10 more seconds!”
"Hey gang!" 😂 I'm so used to this workout video now I don't wanna do any other ones. The music, the commentary. shit's classic.
I love this workout!!!! It goes by really quickly and I laugh every time looking at the outfits 🤣
