Summary: steel arms...
Comment: An excellent workout for the arms. It is very simple to follow and not too hard. The repition could be a bit too much for the intermdiates but anyone can work up to them.

Summary: I've Got Muscles
Comment: I started using this tape about three months ago. I appreciate that it is low key with no blaring music. Another plus is that there are no fancy moves.

I couldn't finish all the exercises when I started. Now I finish them all and I work with heavier weights.

I would not have been caught dead in a tank top when I started this workout. Now I have beatiful bicep muscles. My tricep muscles are taking a bit longer but are still better.

My abs are also starting to get smaller, a huge plus after three kids.

I LOVE this tape and highly reccomend it.

Summary: Great workout for the upper body,Abs too!
Comment: This is a great workout for the upper body.Tamilee Webb really gives a good routine for the upper body and abdominals.She alternates arm workouts and ab workouts.She does a few minutes of arms then a few minutes of abdominals.Tamilee uses a pair of three pound dumbells for the arm exercises.I like to use heavier dumbells for the arm exercises.She also uses a chair for the workout to sit in while doing the arms.She also uses the chair for my favorite part of the video.She does a supper set of tricep dips on the chair.First does a set using both arms,then she gives you a chance to do one arm tricep dips.It is really effective.The abdominal work is all done on the floor.Tamilee really knows what to do for the abs.It is really effective abdominal crunches.It you are a big fan of Tamilee Webb`s Abs of Steel videos.You will also be a fan of this one.

Summary: An effective but dated workout
Comment: I had a few problems with this video. First of all, the appearance is very dated looking, especially given that Tamilee wears a visor throughout the workout. The set is very plain, and the production quality is poor. With respect to the exercises themselves, I'm concerned that some of the moves she does for abs may be bad for the neck. In Tamilee's more recent videos, she has eliminated these exercises, so I wonder if they are no longer recommended. The arms workout is good but consists of mostly traditional moves, although Tamilee does add a few twists such as doing a set of bicep curls coming only halfway up instead of a full curl.

I really like Tamilee, but this video is old and not her best. If you want to try one of Tamilee's more recent arms and abs workouts, I would recommend her Quick Toning Arms and Abs, which consists of 3 15-minute programs, each combining arms and abs work. She also has several even newer tapes in her "I Want Those..." series, which are more challenging. Although this video does give the arms and abs a pretty good workout, it is out-of-date, and there are better recent choices.

Summary: Arms & Abs is excellent!
Comment: I used to do lots of traditional push-ups and sit ups to keep in shape for Military Physical Fitness tests. I now alternate between Arms & Abs and Arms & Abs 2. I have worked up to using fairly heavy weights (dumbells) between 15 & 40 lbs. Physical Fitness tests are no problem. An overall great workout that with the occasional fast forward, allows you to keep up your heart rate for the additional cardio-vascular benefit.
