Billy Blanks' Tae Bo Live: Advanced, Volume 1 [VHS]

This is volume two of the Tae Bo Live video series I think this if from 1999 around thime I was just beginning to box.My one friend had it and I did it with here about a year ago.Me being a boxer I thought I was going to go through this like a knife through butter,but let me tell you the first five minutes I was struggling.First you go through a vigorous warm up you go through a good 40 minute of punching and kicking routine also added with jogging,hops,jumping jacks and killer knee lifts long with classic speed bag one of my favorites.The you go down and do killer floor work using your legs that target the glutes and thighs as well.I started doing it over and over again and know it is one of my favorite workouts.Being a boxer I love this video it is a absolute classic in my book.It is filmed live at Billy Bank`s training center.If you want a kick boxing workout challenge,try this great classic workout.

I've been a long time fan of Bill Blanks since way back in the day and purchased the entire series of Advanced Live back then. Well, I'd used them so much and they've gotten to be so old that the VHS format began to wear out on many of the tapes. I notified Tae-Bo.com, just as it seems many other fans had done, to request that the series be issued on a more reliable format - we were without success.I looked and searched nearly where I thought was everywhere and did not think that Amazon.com would carry the series - heck, Tae-Bo.com didn't. Well, I was wrong. I was able to locate many of the tapes that I'd completely worn out and I am so happy!I like the newer versions of Tae-Bo, but the Live series from the 90's are better - sorry Billy.

Good old school Tae Bo at it's finest! I lost 100 pounds doing tae bo and have kept it off for over 10 years. I love these old Tae Bo Live advanced workouts the best, but anything Billy Blanks does is gold, in my opinion. The music is pumping, the moves cover every muscle group, especially abs, glutes, and thighs, and you will definitely be sweaty when it's over. Most importantly, though, Billy gives thanks and praise to God and reminds us of how important it is to exercise our will and our faith. Newer exercise videos are just copy cat's of Tae Bo, proving that this style of workout gets results.

This workout is nearly 60 minutes in the following format:Warm Up, (easy stretch and cardio): 8 minFloor work, abs: 11 minFloor work legs (mostly glutes and inner thighs): 10 minCardio section, (traditional kickbox moves): 25 minStretch out/cool down: 5 minAnother in the great workout series Tae Bo Advanced Live!, this volume 7 has a considerable amount of floor work in the early portion of the workout. Your glutes will be burning by the end of the floor work and the traditional Tae Bo cardio section that follows will be a welcome relief though it ends with even more bun burners.

I enjoyed the Tae-Bo volume 1 tape. Though it targets mainly the arms and legs. There aren't many abdominal or butt workouts. It lasts 60 minutes and it starts with warm-ups, then kickboxing cardio and finally the cool down stretches. It's very effective workout for the targeted, arm and leg area. This workout is excellent for those who don't have time to drive to the gym everyday, people trying to save money, or even people who are trying their best to lose weight but might feel a little self-conscious. Some of the prices are great for this product and will save tons of money in the long run considering that most gym memberships can cost anywhere from $10-$80 a month. Tae-bo live volume 1 gives a full packed arm and leg workout in the comfort of a television screen, without the customer making too many financial sacrifices. I recommend this product to anyone trying to work out legs and arms.

I've been doing Tae-bo since Billy Blanks came out with it and love it. I have several tapes of hisbut this is one of my favorites. I played this one so much it got damaged so I was very pleased that Amazon had another one. I wish they were on DVD's but I'm happy to get what I can. It's a great work-out and has a little of everything on it.

AWESOME

Ich bin ein richtiger Anhänger von Billy Blanks Tae Bo. Ich habe lange nach neuen Programmen von ihm gesucht. Ich bin absolut begeistert von Tae Bo Advanced. Es ist ein absolut wirkungsvolles Training. Ich mache schon lange Tae Bo und dieses Programm hat mir sehr viel Spaß gemacht und sogar Muskelkater bereitet. Die Version auf Englisch ist auch absolut spitze. Da kommen die deutschen Übersetzungen nicht ran. Man merkt richtig die Power die von Billy Blanks ausgeht.Was ich auch sehr schön finde ist, dass in diesem Programm das Kind und die ältere Frau mitmachen. Da merkt man wirklich, dass dieses Programm wirklich jeder machen kann.Es ist wirklich super. Ich werde mir auf jeden Fall noch weitere Programme von Tae Boe kaufen.Ich kann das Advanced Programm nur empfehlen. Es ist aber nur für Fortgeschrittene geeignet.

Ich mache Tae-Bo nun schon drei Jahre. Mal regelmäßig oder auch nur ab und zu, wie es die Zeit zulässt. Hatte damals mit der VHS-Box aus der TV-Werbung begonnen. Vor über einem Jahr kaufte ich mir "Advanced". Ich wechsle nun ab zwischen den beiden Videos, die je knapp eine Stunde laufen. Wenn diese Stunde (Advanced) vorbei ist, dann weiß ich, was ich getan habe. Mein Körper fühlt sich gut und ausgepowert an und die Muskeln sind hart. Billy Blanks motiviert mit seinen Aussagen! Man muss einfach mitmachen.Ich kann das Video für alle, die sich fit und trainiert fühlen möchten, nur empfehlen!Nur für Fortgeschrittene!

Ich habe vorher in einem Fitness-Studio Tae bo unterricht genommen und war begeistert. Aber die Billi Blank Videos sind echt super. Das Advanced ist zwar anstrengend aber super motivierend. Es macht Spass und die Zeit vergeht im Flug.
