Crunchless Abs Review

Product description:

Crunchless Abs is a series of workout videos designed to sculpt and tone the abdomen.  The videos avoid using traditional crunches and target the entire abdominal region with a variety exercises.  The problem with strictly using crunches is that they only target a couple of the muscles in the abdomen.  Crunchless Abs on the other hand targets the entire midsection by focusing on the upper and lower abs, outer oblique’s and the lower back.  The product claims that in just 10 minutes a day you can turn your "flab into fab".

The Crunchless Abs workouts were developed by celebrity fitness trainer Linda LaRue.  Overall Linda's experience in exercise physiology is quite impressive. Linda has achieved her fitness guru status on many accounts; she is a registered nurse and has over 20 years of experience as a fitness trainer.  Linda holds a master degree in Exercise Physiology and Sports Medicine and is frequently a freelance writer for some of the top fitness magazines. 

Her system, the Crunchless Abs workouts, comes with a series of videos or DVD's that have a variety of purchasing options.  The workout videos can be purchased individually or as a kit.

Product review:

One of the key advantages for using Crunchless Abs over regular crunches is that the program focuses on all of the abdominal muscles.  Besides not targeting all of the core muscles, another disadvantage for using crunches is that for some people they tend to put an additional strain on the neck.  One would think that this would be a plus for the Crunchless Abs workouts however there are quite a few reviewers that have complained that the Crunchless Abs workouts also add additional strain to their necks.  As with any exercise proper form, execution and previous medical conditions always play a role in how the body responds to the exercise.  There are many people that frequently perform crunches without any strain on their neck.  The same results apply to the Crunchless Abs workouts since there are a lot of reviewers who also have not complained about neck pains from the workouts.  We only point this out because one of the videos on the Crunchless Abs website shows a person visually complaining about neck pains after performing a crunch.  It's only fair to point out that some reviewers also have the same complaints for their system.

There are too many negative reviews floating around the internet for us to recommend the Crunchless Abs workout videos.  Ironically one of the biggest complaints by customers has nothing to do with the quality of workouts themselves.  Most of the complaints stem around purchasing and shipping issues with the product.  The kits seem to be setup on an auto-ship program which can potentially cost the customer more money in the long run.  New videos are sent out on a scheduled basis and the company has to be contacted in order for the customer to avoid paying for a video that is not wanted.  Also, there were a lot of complaints regarding the amount of time it takes to receive the DVD's, over a month in some cases, where customer service was little to no help.  We should point out that the purchasing complaints were experienced when buying the workout videos from the Crunchless Abs website, buying the workouts from a reliable source such as EBay should hopefully eliminate these types of issues.

As far as the quality of the workouts goes, the reviews seem to be pretty neutral.  Many reviewers have stated that the videos give a decent abdominal workout but nothing revolutionary.  A lot of the workouts have been compared to Pilates and quite a few of the reviewers have stated that there are just better workouts videos available on the market.  What we do not like is the claims that you can sculpt a "flab to fab" midsection with only 10 minutes of use each day.  Crunchless Abs by itself is not going to turn a flabby midsection into a lean chiseled stomach; no product under those conditions is going to achieve those results.  It will still take a good diet and workout program in addition to the DVD's to create those types of results.  This doesn't mean that the workouts are a waste of time; they just need to be an addition to a solid diet and workout routine for one to achieve desired results. 

If you want to give these workouts a try for yourself we recommend picking up a video or two off of eBay or other reputable site.  If you like what you receive you can always purchase more workouts from there .
