Billy Blanks: Boot Camp Cardio Sculpt

100% pleased Thank You

I love this workout. Billy Blanks is my guy and I always turn to his workouts when I want something fun and engaging. I like the fast pace and use of hand weights to get that upper body sculpt going. He always walks you through the moves so you know what to do and do it with the correct form, and he is encouraging and positive and motivating. I do this workout a couple times a week and it doesn't feel stale.

Gimmick free Billy with no bands or sticks. All you need is a pair of dumbells, water bottle and towel. This is the best of the Boot Camp series which mixes Tae Bo with strength training. Other than some squats, a few kicks and holding horse stance there is not much in way of specific lower body training which is why I took one star off. What you do get after the 5 minute warm -up is 40 minutes of intense upper body work all using the weight of your choice. I started with 5 lbs then down to 3 and finally I was at 2 lbs at the end and could barely hold my arms up. Like a lot of woman over 50 I have to constantly work at keeping my arms from getting jiggly and this is great for that since it is cardio combined with HIGH rep weight training which should help make lean muscles while burning the fat so my hard work is visable. Will update after I do this with heart rate monitor.

It is a moderate intensity exercise video and at the beginning, there is a segment where Tae-bo moves are demonstrated. If you are not used to Tae-bo, you might want to watch that. If you are a Tae-bo veteran, you can just dive straight in. The warm up gets you pumped up for the main workout. I have several other Billy Blanks' work out videos but I especially love this one because it is combined with hand weights. If your arms are your problem area, then you'll like this work out: your arms will BURN! I would have given this video a five star rating but I gave only 4 because it has very little of a cool down or stretch at the end. All in all, I loved it because I felt the burn and it made me sweat.

Great addition to my tae bo workout collection! I love that it's a sculpt, but also gets in a complete workout.

You guys... we love Billy Blanks. First workout is really teaching you his style, second one is a tough workout. Your arms will feel like they're falling off - even using your lightest weights or a couple of cans. Really good.

Billy is a top notch instructor! He continues to think about his audience and provides step by step instructions on each move. Unlike many instructors that do videos, Billy will show you what move is coming next and provide transition time-awesome! Thank you Billy Blank! I live seeing the same people and new people that he and his squad gas inspired to take on this journey and go through the FIRE!

Taebo never disappoints. Love this workout.

This is one of my favorite DVDs by Billy Blanks. It is a little different from most of his other workouts in that you need small hand weights. It is a great addition to my Tae Bo collection because using weights adds some variety. I have noticed quite an improvement in my arms since incorporating this DVD into my rotation.

Excellent total body workout.

Very high energy I lost allot of weight using this.

This workout is fantastic!! Billy is encouraging and informative, and really makes you WORK! He will push you to be the best you can be...even if you are doing this workout for the first time!This workout does have the cardio component to it, but there is quite a bit of the workout that is done with free weights. Whether you use 2lb weights, 5lb weights or just a couple of water bottles, you feel great after this workout!

Nice training and fun to do it
