Kim Kardashian: Fit In Your Jeans by Friday: Amazing Abs Body Sculpt

Overall Rating:

Retail Price: $19.99

I was a bit hesitant about buying this Kim Kardashian’s Fit in Your Jeans by Friday DVD. In a way, I’m glad that I did since I am rather envious of Kim’s look and fashion sense. And this workout does work.

It’s easy, fast paced, and fun..not a whole lot of workout stuff is needed to do these workouts. I am really into “no equipment”. All you need is a stepper and some 5lb free weights.

It is a refreshing change to have someone who isn’t an expert asking questions or making comments. The reason I ordered it though was because I thought it was mainly an ab workout, which it isn’t. It is more arms than abs, which is ok. For a quick work out do the bonus abs its about 10 minutes long.

This DVD starts with an idle warm-up-some simple stretching and begins 2 segments of arm work with short and infrequent cardio bursts–plus, some floor core work (nothing too impressive or new) and while Kim is engaging, her attitude and demeanor with the trainer is a little sour but her overall energy and enthusiasm is pretty palatable.

I did work up a sweat and had sore arms for a few days but the DVD seemed to lack a real tight flow–there were many moments that slowed or stalled the pace. Kim’s trainer often defers to Kim which is quite funny —the trainer should take the helm and let Kim serve as eye-candy as Kim herself admits on the DVD to having a “limited and lazy” approach to fitness in the past.

The title of this DVD is a little misleading…

The title of this DVD was a bit misleading. Instead of doing mostly ab work, this workout was mainly a sculpting workout for the arms. Not a bad thing as I love to work out my arms.

Just note that if you are wanting this DVD to mainly work your abdominals you will be a little disappointed as I found the ab workout section was a little lacking compared to the segment focusing on the arms.

My only problem with this video is the way it was shot. There were too many times where I was trying to see what moves were being done, but the camera was focused on Kim’s face.

The unnessarily long face shots of Kim are a bit annoying if you’re here to exercise and not stare at Kim. Neither the trainer or Kim lead you smoothly into the next exercise; they jump from one to the next before announcing the switch. Kim also tended to “relax” at times she should have been on top of her game.

Final Verdict: Decent Workout, Maybe Worth Trying

All in all, I would recommend it if you’re semi-fit and do not have a lot of weight to hit the floor, jump in the air, hit the floor, jump in the air…you get the point. Great workout, fresh moves, but be forewarned. All in all, its a welcome change if you’re tired of your usual exercise dvds. Needless to say, if you’re a fan of Kim Kardashian… get it!
