Billy Blanks Tae Bo (DVD, 2006)

This was the first Tae Bo dvd I ever bought, and it started a whole new level of working out for me. I love Billy's workouts, and I think this is one of his best!
It's about 42 minutes long, and the cool-down starts at 36 minutes. He includes all of his classic moves in this one. I love to kick, and he includes all of the different types of kicks (front kick, back kick, roundhouse, extended roundhouse, side kicks, etc).
This workout does not require any bands, balls, or bars. It is simply cardio and Billy does a great job explaining each move and transitioning between moves. He has you do each move at a slow pace for 3-4 counts of eight, then a fast pace (he calls it "Cardio!") for 2-3 counts of eight.
The first time I ever did this workout, I found the constant counting to be a little disconcerting: Shelly (Billy's daughter) wears a mike and she and the rest of the class count from 1-8 throughout the entire workout. They count like this throughout all of his Tae Bo workouts--it's just something to adjust to if you're new to Tae Bo.
I recommend this workout to anyone looking for an alternative to the treadmill, elliptical machine, stair stepper, etc. I exercised at gyms for 12 years and I have never found any workout that is so engaging and fun as Tae Bo! In fact, I no longer belong to a gym and now exercise at home with Billy's tapes and some hand weights and a stability ball with better results than I ever got at a gym!

I've been working out with Tae Bo for over a year now and love it! This video is fun! The music is more upbeat than his others and he adds a couple difficult moves that you definitely feel the next morning.

dvd was in brand new condition and worked flawless. fast delivery and everything was just as promised. now i just need someone to come do the excersices for me. :)

Wow, i like all of Billy's videos but this one was sooo much fun, we were busting a move! I was smiling all the way through, plus its a great workout! I really loved the dance moves! Everyone should try this one for sure!

Extremely fast weight loss!!! Billy Blanks energy exumes from the tv screen and is very contagious. I am now down to a lean 150# down from 400. If I can do this anyone can. I would greatly recommend this to anyone who is interested in losing weight fast and keeping it off. I can't say enough good things about it. All hail Billy Blanks and his exercise CD's.

Very good video. Easy to folow and you work up a sweat. You want this one in your collection! not too long and wide range of exercises that work problems areas, especially for women

I have enjoyed all of the Taebo videos so far. I enjoy the challenge of his workouts. I was surprised how much I was sweating by the end of the 45 minutes. I like how he goes from move to move quickly. The time goes by very fast. Some of the moves are kind of silly, but it makes the workout fun. I am definitly hooked, I now have 7 of his dvds and I just ordered 2 more! I do not like to waste my time on easy workouts, this was well worth it!

I've been doing Tae Bo for 5 months now. This is a fun cardio workout. Billy does all kinds of different moves that you'll see in other workouts, so if you're already doing Tae Bo you'll know most all of them. You'll be sweating by the end of this workout for sure.

Nothing is better than a kick butt workout from Billy Blanks. His Tae Bo brings everybody the best fitness around. He has a great style and inspires those around him.

Great workout. Feel and see results already. Ab bootcamp will wear you out!!! Favorite Moves is good too. The Contact 1 I won't use because I don't have the punching bags.
I will probably get another one or two for variety.

MEN! THIS IS ANOTHER REALLY DEAL WORKOUT ALWAYS RUSHING BUT EFFECTIVE WORKOUTS WITH BILLY BALNKS
JUST THE WAY I LIKE
& THE MORE I GET NEW WORKOUTS OF BILLY THE MORE I LOVE I'M IT'S NOW... PART OF MY DAY
SUPER NICE SELLER TOO! =)

It was a great video, just what I needed to burn the pounds for the holiday season. I think this would be a great DVD for anyone who is attempting to get back in shape. You can work at your own pace and their is no pressure.

The item was in brand new condition and cheap! Ebay has tons of items that I look at each and every day. Great deals!

I bought the Tae Bo DVD several weeks ago. It's great, the best Billy Blanks yet. The item was delivered fast and the item was in excellent condtion. I would buy from this seller again. I would also buy another Tae Bo DVD to help me get in shape. ( I had a baby 11 months ago, and this DVD makes me feel fantastic!)

I never thought about laughing through a workout, but the Billy Blanks Favorite Moves is funny! Went I wasn't laughing, I was grinning. You do not do a lot of reps but you do alot of different moves. Billy incorporates dance into this workout and wow it is a blast! About 45 minutes and the time does fly. I felt the burn but didn't think much of it because of the atmosphere.

This DVD incorporates Billy Blanks original Tae Bo moves and some newer moves along with floor exercises. It's fast paced and fun. It's rather long so you may have to work up your indurance to do the whole DVD. I really like it and would incourage people who liked the orginal Tae Bo tapes to try it!!!!!!

It is an okay workout. The moves are very inconsistant. Did not really care for it but others might find it enjoyable.

Gift went over nicely thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was exactly what I wanted. I have used it numerous times, and enjoy the tape. I will probably buy another one pretty soon. The company delivered it fast.

I'm not new to exercise DVD's, but this was my first venture into the land of Tae Bo with Billy Blanks. I must say I was very impressed that the time went by soooooo quickly. That may be due to the "festiveness" of his background exercisers and the cool music. These things were very motivating. Billy also has a LOT of energy and a pleasant personality. His cues for upcoming moves were pretty good. Although he does include information about proper form and some tidbits of what muscles I was working during the DVD, I would have liked more. I was amazed that I wasn't sore in my arms or abs like I thought I would be after doing all the exercises that supposedly focused on these areas. I did feel it in my legs due to the intense workout toward the end where your on your hands and knees. However, I feel if it weren't for that segment, I might not be sore in my legs either. I couldn't help but think that all of the buff bodies in this DVD did not get that way by doing this particular exercise routine.

Overall, a fun workout but not too challenging.

The workout is good, however, I did not like the talking/clapping during the video and some of the "jiggy" moves. I also felt that my heart rate went up and then I felt like I was doing a cool down. Overall, good DVD for a rainy day workout.
