The Billy Blanks Tae Bo Amped exercise video blends Tae Kwon Do, kickboxing and aerobics in a five-DVD set; it's the top choice of experts for serious exercisers who are looking to burn calories and keep adding variety to their routine. This DVD series also impresses reviewers with its attention to form and conditioning, which are vital to prevent muscle strain or injury during workouts. Included is an amplifier sculpting bar for added muscle-shaping resistance, but some users aren't sold on its benefits or ease of use. Tae Bo is best for intermediate and advanced exercisers, experts warn. Interestingly, Billy Blanks's Tae Bo is one of the only videos which is consistently selected as a top workout in the martial arts/kickboxing category. Very few workout videos and DVDs have the type of staying power that is seen with Tae Bo. If you're looking for a program that has stood the test of time, this may be the one for you.
There are many reviews for Tae Bo Amped. Close to 100 users at Amazon.com, Epinions.com, Walmart.com and CollageVideo.com provide reviews.
