Beachbody’s Hip Hop Abs program has exploded in popularity and many are experiencing some pretty dramatic results. In this post, I’m going to cut through the marketing hype and look at exactly what is included with this workout system.
The Hip Hop Abs program consists of four training workouts:
- Secrets to Flat Abs – Covers training techniques that target the upper and lower abs, as well as the obliques
- Fat Burning Cardio – This workout combines high-intensity music with fun dance moves to burn calories quickly
- Ab Sculpt – Focuses on additional ab exercises which help to carve that all-elusive, ripped six pack
- Total Body Burn – A complete workout that combines cardio, body sculpting, and even more ab work
Hip Hop Abs also includes a step-by-step nutrition guide (your diet will play an extremely important role in whether you see results with this program), a 30 day workout calendar, and 24/7 support.
Last but not least, Beachbody also includes the following bonuses:
- Hips, Buns, and Thighs
- Results on the Run Diet Guide
- 6-Day SlimDown Plan
- Measurement Card and Tape Measure
- Learn to Dance
- Last Minute Abs Workout
If you’re currently using the Hip Hop Abs program, please post a comment with a brief review. I would love to hear how it’s working out for you so far…

1I started Hip Hop Abs last month and so far I’m really enjoying it. I’m not a huge fan of expensive health club memberships and I’m a busy mom of 2, so I really just wanted to find a fun and effective way to workout at home. HipHopAbs is a great way to get defined at home abs and the routines and dances are very easy to follow. It’s much cheaper than all of the cheesy ab fitness equipment you see out there, and it is definitely working for me. I recommend it!

3Hey!! i just started my hip hops ab yesterday and im really looking forward to see the results coz i really want to get rid of my belly fat!!
but im a bit worried coz i think i dont properly incorporate the dancing technique required that secrets to flat abs one – i guess that tuck thingy is difficultt for me or i may be i dont think im doing it correctly coz i cant really see the difference on my stomach due to my weight!! Any suggestions??
plus i am not going to follow that 6 day slim programme coz i m not in favour of using any supplements or protein drinks!!
hope it works for me..do we need to add cardio exercises in daily routine like treadmill etc to see more effective results?? i thought this programme should do it without having us to do that boring treadmill everyday!!
Hope to receive a reply soon – thankx in advance and all the best to all of u there who are trying this!!

4I just got Hip Hop Abs as a Christmas gift (yes I asked for it) but the set did not have the nutrition guide or the 6 day slim down. The gift giver does not remember where she got it so … I would really like to get those two items any suggestions??

5I started using HHAbs back in Jan 2008 to ty to get into a size 18 bridesmaids dress in June. At the time, I was 185 lbs. I worked out 5-6 days a week. I didn’t follow the slim down plan, but I did start eating much healthier with smaller portions. Every week I would try on my dress to see if it fit, and every week, I would notice that the zip would close just an inch higher every time. By the time the wedding came, not only did I fit into my dress, but I had to get it altered to to a size 12! I lost 30 lbs, and 37″ all over my body.
I’ve recently gone back on HipHOp Abs to get rid of weight gained from Christmas and 2 all-inclusive cruises. So far, I’ve lost 17 lbs since this past January, and I’m officially a size 8 again!
So do I love Hip Hop Abs??? Hell ya!! 🙂

PAM: So I wouldn’t worry about not having the 6 day slim down stuff. Just make healtier choices, eat smaller meals throughout the day, and drink lots of water.
AIN: If you’ve just started using HHA, and you’re not normally a “exercise-type person” with a lot of weight to lose, I would suggest you just start with dvd’s first. Then, when your body starts getting stronger, you will have the energy to do other cardio exercises like using the treadmill. That’s what I did. If you’re really overweight, you won’t be able to see the physically results right away. But you should definitely feel your core getting stronger. Give it a few weeks, and if you keep it up, you will definitely start noticing that your clothes are fitting better! GOOD LUCK!

6Yes, this program works. I’m only three days into it and NO LIE I’ve lost 5 lbs and 1.5 inches in my waist. I can’t believe it. I can’t wait to see my six day results. I am following my own diet plan, but it all seems to be working.

7I’m glad everyone is saying that Hip Hop Abs has worked for them, I’ve been trying to find the right workout for a while now. It sounds like I can even use my own diet plan too if I don’t like the one that comes with the DVDs. I put in my order yesterday and now I can’t wait for it to come in the mail! 😀

8I’m only 2 days in and I can definitely feel the workouts. I’m not using the meal planning aspect, just the DVDs. No measurable results yet, but I really FEEL better. All day long I’ve found myself tightening my abs without even thinking about it. I’m optimistic. 🙂

11I am a stay home mom of two boys, I had my youngest boy 11 months ago and my biggest problem area is my belly so I am so happy to hear all the good Hip Hop Abs reviews because I ordered mine today and can’t wait to start the program. I just canceled my gym membership so I wanted something to do at home and save some money in the process.

12So excited! I ordered HipHopAbs yesterday and can’t wait to start
I am looking to lose 20 pounds and am hoping it will not be to hard. I am not the type to go to the gym and wanted something I could do in the privacy of my own home when the kids are at school and littlest one is napping.

14I’m 17 years old, 2 years ago I was at my highest weight. 298! I decided to start working out. Growing up the fat kid in school was always pretty tough. So, I got Hip Hop Abs, and magically, it worked! In a year I lost over 80 pounds and so many inches! But, I began to slack off, and I recently gained alot of it back. I’m barely getting back into it, twice a day, plus the Shake Weight for some muscle. According to my doctor, I was living in “Skinnyville” when I was on HHA. Which made me feel HORRIBLE for gaining my weight back. But yes, IT WORKS! If you diet, It works faster. (:

15Hi i’ve been working out to Hip Hop Abs for 1 month and a half everyday once or twice a day I am an active girl, I walk, my job is very physical, I am always on the move I might have tighten up a little but I haven’t lost any weight at all and I am triying for 10 pounds to start. I’ll keep at it though. Hopefully something will change. 🙂
