Billy Blanks- fun workout

Share and Enjoy:
My husband and I decided to try to get in better physical condition. We found the Billy Blanks line of Tae-Bo dvds. I had taken some kickboxing classes in the past and found it to be a great workout that yielded good results. When I saw these dvds, I felt like it was something my husband and I could do together. (I just couldn't picture him doing a "dance your way fit" dvd). Billy Blanks is a big, strong yet sweet guy that teaches you how to properly do all the various punch and kick moves. He really helps you stay focused on correct form, which is important as you could end up sore if it is done incorrectly. He is also encouraging, without being annoying, which I think is hard to find on an excercise video. The video starts out slowly, warming up. It then moves into a moderately paced workout and then there is a cool down period at the end. This is a 40 minute workout, which makes this a good choice for beginners. You can also work at your desired intensity level, which is also a plus. You choose you much energy you put in and how much benefit you get out of it!

  1. I got the Billy Blanks videos when they first came out a few years ago, bot were they a workout. I tried really hard to get through them all but never made it all the way though. Guess I'm really out of shape. What I did do was fun though.

  2. I tried his workout dvd about a year ago. I got it at the cd/dvd exchange store. I tried it a few times and I just couldn't get the hang of it...it moved way too fast for me. I took it back and got something else. It is a great workout I'm sure...just not for me. Good for you trying to get in shape.

  3. Thanks for this information. This will be something I have to check out. The price is certainly reasonable.

  4. "encouraging, without being annoying..." you've nailed that right. Way too many of them miss that balance. I hate being pandered to by a recording.

  6. I have heard that kick boxing is a great way to exercise. This sounds great for someone like me who would be a beginner. Thanks.
