Exercise DVD - Has anyone got the Billy Blanks Tae Bo's ? Will I LOVE IT ?

[Oblomov]

I like Khai Bo, but our gym has just stopped sessions.
I have signed up to the Amazon 14 day free trial DVD hire, in order to get The Billy Blanks Tae Bo DVD's.
Like this Videos only the DVD's.
Anyone got them ?
Am I in for a treat ?

I like them - if you can get used to Billy Blanks' style! I keep meaning to drag them out but have no idea when I'd be able to do them.

tribpot, is he very cheesy and shouty ? what is his 'style' ?

I found it very shouty tbh and very american too harsh for me - you can buy my old video for £3 inc P&P if you want it?

his style is very very keen and overly encouraging iykwim ... best used with the volume on low

Thank you filtered, I may come back to you on that.
I did see them on e-bay, but I thought the cost of then transfering them to disc, would add up. That is why I went on the 14 free day trial - I am hoping they won't cost anything.
I was a bit worried that it would be too american, too brash and shouty.
I might have to mute it !!!!

Princess, ik'exactly'wym !!

I like the bit where he puts his ear up to the screen to see if he can hear you saying "yeah!" or some such.

this is a good workout if you can stop snickering at BB's hi-energy bonkersness.

I didn't know it was that bad. I may not be able to get through the routine, for sniggering.

I hope you can enjoy it - whoop whoop!

Oh, I went through a phase which lasted about 2 years where I LOVED these, they are a good workout (then I joined a gym). I seem to remember that he had this girl assistant who is really kickass and slightly scary as she never, ever smiled...

I always found watching what the people in the background were doing much more interesting than watching Billy, especially the big fatties that they stick at the back just to be 'inclusive'!

I bought these with good intentions. I am not massively unfit or fit, just middling, but I cannot seem to keep up. They just go too fast. Has someone speeded it up in the editing?!

Very shouty, and yes, loving that ear thing!

I have never done any so this is second hand information but I was put off by hearing that he couldn't count - so you might do lots more reps on one side than another.

saker, couldn't count ? LOL
1 - 2 -4 -5 -6
Love it.
I'll let you know if I have an 'Lara Croft' left and a droopy right !!!
