Advantages: enjoyable exercise, keeps innshape

Disadvantages: Very tiring at first

I was bored of working out at the gym and decided to try something new.I saw the Billy Blanks Tae-bo videos in the shop and decided to give it a go. Having never done any kickboxing or the like before I tried the instructional section to make sure you do all the kicks and punches correctly. This section they advise you to take your time on as you risk injury if you do the moves incorrectly and in particular the kicks can take a bit of time to get used to. I did find this hilarious though as it took me a while to grasp the kicks as some balance is required and I spent my initial time falling over and wobbling all over the place. I have found though as a result that my balance in general has improved.

The work out itself is 30 minutes long which is quite short for a work out, but nevertheless it is very intense and you feel like you have done an hour of other exercise videos. It is also such good fun, rarely do I class exercise as fun, it is something I do to keep in shape not out of pleasure.Yet this combination of punching, kicking and dancing and Billy Blanks is really good at making it simple yet effective. I have always wanted to be able to say working out was fun and now I can (Gee I sound like one of those dodgy American Adverts!). I do this about 4 times a week now and along with a good diet it really works and I have really toned arms and shoulders as a result as well as a healthy and fit body as a whole.

My only problem is that there are only 2 videos at present and I now know every facial expression and move of every person in the class. Come on Billy release another video soon...please!
