Movie Reviews of Billy Blanks 8 Power Rounds: Eight 1-Minute Tae Bo Power Workouts

Movie Review: Great As A Warm Up or Quick Cardio Routine
Summary: 5 Stars

I just did this program this morning for the first time.

It has about an 8 or so minutes of warm up then moves directly into 8 short rounds of about a minute or so each.

Billy first shows each exercise slowly and then you move into the faster versions of the exercises.

I actually did the program two times in a row because the first time thru I didn't get all the moves, but the second time was able to flow much easier.

Surprisingly, I worked up a decent sweat doing it and then went into my next workout (Pilates for this morning).

Basically I would say that this program is not a full workout in itself but works best as a cardio warmup (much the way you might use a stationary bike or a treadmill to warm up before doing something else).

Still, for someone who only has a short amount of time on a given day and wants to do "something", then surely doing this alone is better than doing nothing at all.

Between the warmups and the "power rounds" you get some flexibility, core strength (in the warm ups he does a one-arm plank which you can do on your knees or in a full plank position), and then you get your heart rate up a bit with the actual power rounds.

For my purposes this is a great "add-on" workout and I'm happy I have it available to use that way.

Some additional observations:

It seems that this program is made up from edited segments of a longer program.

The only thing I'd consider negative is that sometimes Billy does more reps on one side than the other, though this seems to happen w/ Tae Bo programs. Still, the good outweighs the bad. When I find him doing extra on a given side I just alternate sides on my own to make them more even.
