Sports reviews of Billy Boot Camp Box Set DVD
Customer Review: Addicted to it
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
With the first workout, I was INSTANTLY toned, more muscular, more defined and I LOVED it!
I have done all three of the DVDs included in this set a couple of times now, and I am ALWAYS looking forward to doing them again- I can't wait for the workout and the feeling my body gets after I've done them! :)
I do wonder, though, will it really melt off the stubborn pudge from my hips/stomach?
The answer is hidden somewhere, I think, in how "doable" the workouts are- you're neither exhausted/hurt nor left wanting do do more- so I suppose it's just enough to eventually get those results with regular use. Other people have written that muscle builds and fat melts so I will keep this up!
*The cardio DVD is not included, but I found it awesome to use an elliptical machine or speed walking to substitute for cardio work, either before, after, or both, when I do a Tae Bo DVD. My body literally turned into a furnace and I could feel my metabolism was sky high!
Just be patient, give your body rest days, and do as much as you can from each DVD. You'll be addicted too.....
Customer Review: Taking It To The Next Level
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
Billy Blanks' intensity was the extra push I needed to get back my body after the baby. I'd always been thin(120 lbs) so my exercise regimen was to maintain my figure. But after I had my son 8 years ago that routine did NOTHING to get me down from (175 lbs)!!!! Yikes.Even though people told me I carried the weight well. I didn't want to carry it at all!!!
Obviously, it was a whole new ball game and /i needed more time to work out. But taking care of a child, and working left me with no time to put in the hours at the gym that I desperately needed to get the weight off.
Billy Blanks' DVD's are short, intense and really pushed me far beyond what I would do alone. The best part is I can do them anytime of day or night in the privacy of my home after I've taken care of my son. I'm finally losing the weight and starting to see my old shape (pre-baby/motherhood) come back. Thank you!!!! Mr. Blanks for making these DVDs. I wish I'd found them when my son was a newborn!!! I really recommend the DVDs to mothers who just don't have the time to work out anymore.
Customer Review: High energy, intense work out
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
This is a great product if you're in decent shape already but want a challenge. It's a nice balance of original tae bo moves and new exercises with the band. I always get sweaty and breathing hard. I definitely see improvements in my muscle tone from the work out.
If you purchase this product from "As Seen on TV", you should be aware that the bands you receive are not the same bands as used in the video. The bands I received are much tighter and therefore harder to use. The flip side is you'll be working out harder, which is a good thing if you like the challenge. But just so you know, you'll be faster fatigued than Billy Blanks and his crew. And sometimes your range of motion will be smaller; unless you're super-strong, the bands will restrict how far you can extend.
But in general, a great product for an intense work out. All three videos are great.
Customer Review: Challenging But Great
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I recently purchased the bootcamp series and I am very pleased with it. I gave it four stars because it will definitely challenge even those who are already quite fit. There are a lot of push ups and even the basic will have you sore the next day. Billy is very motivating which helps when you feel like you can't take anymore. I have tried the tae bo contact too, but didn't like it very much. The music on the basic bootcamp is kinda boring, but the ultimate bootcamp will keep you moving. The only thing I don't like about the tae bo series is, sometimes he (Billy) goes from one move to the next too fast (whoa,lol). If your a beginner like myself or just haven't worked out in a while I don't recommend using the billy bands right away. I have been doing it for a week now, and I use my small hand weights, and will do so until I feel comfortable enough to use the bands.Customer Review: Good for all levels
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
Despite some of the criticisms, I'd say that this set is great for people of all levels. In each video, there's a participant who demonstrates how to do the moves without the 'Billy bands' (resistance tubing with handles and foot loops), so those who aren't in the best of shape can still get a great workout. Billy is very encouraging and motivational throughout which makes for a great experience. The footwork isn't all that difficult to follow, although he does tend to move a bit quickly in the DVD's after the basic bootcamp.
The only negative is that this set doesn't come with the cardio bootcamp DVD or the lower-body bootcamp DVD. However, you can get these pretty cheap on Ebay to complete the set. I can say for certain that my butt and thighs have never burned this much during a video workout or the days after doing one. It's awesome!
