I was very disappointed with this DVD. I read a lot of reviews and I can not believe so many people called this challenging and even mentioned it was so hard you should do it once a week! This is definetely a beginners workout, I've been training with taebo for about 10 years, I also studied Karate-Do for years and our warming up (before actually starting the class) was much much harder than this. Sometimes it even looked like a joke, some moves are just ridiculous and at one point everybody starts dancing and is just... very annoying if what you're looking for is an Ultimative Workout. I own a LOT of dvds from Billy Blanks, the best are Get Ripped Advanced 1 & Advance 2 Workouts; Billy's Bootcamp: Ultimative Bootcamp & Basic Training Bootcamp ( if you have back problems you can kiss that pain goodbye with those bands ;) Other workouts: The Amped Series is fun but sometimes there's a lot of fooling around and I have to do other moves and / or 2 workouts in 1 day. Also from the Amped series, Rockin'Buns is very good, it may not look so challenging at the beginning but you'll feel it towards the end..and the next day ;) Advance level people: Billy's Bootcamp Elite won't even tickle you and the music is awful. All in all I love Billy Blanks, I just wish he would made more real challenging workouts for the Advance Level, maybe combining the bands with the amplifier and a cardio workout all in 1 or a whole series!! :)Read full review
This DVD contains two separate workouts. The first is 89 minutes and the second is 29 minutes. Both are great cardio workouts! Billy includes some new exciting moves in the first workout, as well as an 8-minute dance session about 45 minutes in. The dance part is silly but fun and I think it's meant to 'refresh' everyone before they get their second wind. The second workout uses the Amplifier, but the first does not. It took me two tries (a week apart) to complete the entire 89 minutes of the first session. I have been doing Tae Bo for 2 years and this workout is very challenging but also fun. Billy emphasizes that you would only do this workout once a week. It feels awesome to get through it! The second workout is at a faster pace (the first feels like it's almost a 'marathon' pace) and is great to do if you're short on time.Read full review
If you like working out with DVD's, and you can't handle the jumping or the dancing, then Billy Blanks is for you. I like how he shows you the moves first at a slow pace and then he picked it up for 8 counts. I like how he shows you without the quick movement that you can't seem to keep up. I brought this DVD cause i have been working out for 2 months and sometimes i don't have time to go to the gym, so i can just pop one in the DVD player and workout before work.
Purchased for wife. She had this CD for several years and wore it out so I purchased a new one for her. She loves it!
