I've had many Billy Blanks sets, but they were all VHS, so I needed DVDs. I was going through a rough time a couple of years ago, and I just loved Billy's attitude and the workouts. The Bootcamp DVD is pretty intense. If you're a beginner to Billy's program, I wouldn't start out with this one. The Bootcamp DVD is assuming that you already know how to do the moves, and jumps right in! But if you're already familiar with Billy's program, its a workout and a half! If you're new o the DVD's, you should probably start out with the ones that go into detailed instructions, because you can get hurt doing them incorrectly.
Billy Blanks is so very discriptive to follow and very tough. This makes the dvd great when you can not do all of it because it is challanging. I love his workouts! My body has a all over feel of muscle use, the kind of pain that I crave. I feel so young and in shape,flexible and strong. I'm fifty three and have kept fit all my life. I didn't think that I could do tv stuff, thinking that I would sit back and give up and just watch. Oh I was so wrong! I try not to miss a single move and what a result in my body as in tight stomach, legs, arms etc. I highly recommend any of his workouts! Really!
As a Billy Blanks user for over 9 years, I really liked this one better than the one for 2006, but I like the bands from the Ultimate bootcamp (2006) one better to use with this one (if that makes any sense). But this one made me sweat a lot, I personally still like the 'Get Ripped advanced' ones the best, they still kick my butt after all this time, but I just get sick of doing the same ones over and over so I have almost all of his workouts. I hope this helps someone.
I was not aware that I was supposed to have resistence bands for part of this tape. But even without them it was a very hard and good workout. I would have made a few changes, especially the push up section (it was a tad bit impossible for a girl-weakling like myself). I like the video but unlike some of my other workout videos it did not seem to go by very fast. This might be a good thing considering how hard I worked. I wished the stretching part of the tape was longer, but if you're looking for a good sweat and toning session I would buy this DVD. I have never done any of his other tapes so I can't compare it to his others, but definitly a good tape to have in my workout collection. -Lucy
I bought Billy Blanks - Ultimate Bootcamp (2005, DVD) last week. I enjoy working out and have other taebo tapes, but, not a recent one. And I'd heard that this one is tough. It is great! It pushed me in some areas and basically gives my body some muscle confusion so I do not get used to one workout. Billy Blanks is a great motivator. He pushes you. The ab routine is a killer. And the exercises can be modified if need be. He uses bands in the routine, but, you do not need to. I would've liked a longer cool down at the end, but, that's okay, I add my own. I would recommend the Billy Blanks - Ultimate Bootcamp (2005, DVD).
