Billy Blanks - Tae Bo: Fat Blasting Cardio/Total Body Fat Blaster (DVD, 2005, 2-Disc Set)

This is a great exercise DVD. If you're not in the best shape, you can start off by exercising along and stopping when you need to and then coming back in, and Billy encourages you to do so. Then, as you get stronger and can finally do the entire routine, you can challenge yourself even further by using Billy Bands. I have been doing it for about 3 weeks now, without Billy Bands, and my husband and I have both noticed that my body is changing. When I pass by the mirror I go, "Woah, I look good!" It's a good feeling, and it's even better knowing that I did it without having to resort to the diet pills, which I have done in the past. The pills work, but once you go off them, the weight comes right back, and with a vengeance! But with Billy Blanks' Tae Bo, I seem to be losing more and more inches every week I do it. I can't wait to get my Billy Bands now, and when I started I thought I would NEVER get to that level. But it's only been three weeks, and here I am! I love it. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to lose weight and keep it off.

I did the Fat Blasting Cardio and that had me dripping sweat. I made it throught the entire workout and felt so good after doing all that hard work; I accomplished a lot in that workout and am proud I made it to the finish. If you are a Tae Bo Lover then you simply have to add this to your collection; All of Billy Blanks workouts I have so far have been so great.

I've been a Tea Bo fan since it's been out...the problem is, I have not been a fan of the newer Tae Bo workouts.There are great for beginners,intermediate, but not the advanced exerciser. I was hesitant once again to try another "new" edition to Tae Bo, but seeing as how the oldies but goodies are only on VHS, I was still trying to find a decent Tae Bo on DVD. I really hit the jackpot. I love these workouts! The bands definately let you feel your muscles being worked...they wouldn't replace weight training in my world, but are a GREAT alternative to mix things up.The workout length is also shorter for days you're short on time or do both of them for a really awesome workout! They're the fast paced Tae Bo I've grown to love. You definately break a sweat, where as with Bootcamp with bands, I still felt I needed to go workout some more.The new step workout(Tae BO Extreme) is also alot of fun, and I loved the variety of using a step. Lot's of ways to modify or make more difficult.

I'm trying to lose weight and am walking a lot. However, the hot, oppressive summer was quickly ascending upon us so I was searching for a way to do cardio in the house. The name 'fat blasting cardio' said it all. It really does keep you moving the entire time. It works for all sizes (because believe me I'm no small girl) and is very motivating. It's tough but that's what I need. I highly recommend it to anyone.

If you have never done tae bo, this is not the place to start. I started with Boot Camp Elite first and it definitely was the way to go, even though these DVD's were actually created earlier. Make sure you have your billy bands because without them you will not get the same results.
Once you have some experience with your bands and Tae Bo, these workouts are fabulous. My boyfriend actually enjoys my body again and likes that my stomach has gone down and "the girls" are firmer. With the bands you can't help but see results with these workouts. Alternate every other day with these and try incorporating the boot camp DVDs.
