Movie Reviews of Billy Blanks: Ultimate BootcampMovie Review: More than pleased with this DVD! Summary: 5 Stars
I have only done this video once, but I couldn't wait to write my review. This is probably one of my favorite Tabeos yet... and I have a lot! I did this straight through without the resistance bands. I would reccomend always trying his videos without the bands first so you know what you're getting into. The bands add a huge level of intensity, and if you're not familiar with the moves, you might not be able to keep up.
Anyway, there's a brief warm-up, as usual, then right into the workout. Billy's got a great personality in this one! You will see him go yell in some of the exercisers faces and make them scream at him, but not to be taken too seriously he remains smiling and motivational throughout. This video really has it ALL for your body. You get a mix of cardio, strength/toning for your upper and lower body. This is the most "bootcamp" style workout in the series in my opinion. There is a serious push up portion, where he has you going back and forth between your knees and toes (sorry Billy, I had to do all of them on my knees, and I could still barely keep up!) There's more at the end, where you do 4 push-ups, roll for 4 and 4 more push ups. Expect a lot of bicep, tricep, chest, and back work too. For most of those exercises, you can substitute dumbells if you want. There is a small section where you go down to the floor and do some butt exercises... my buns have never been on fire so bad in my life. Talk about getting buns of steel. Towards the end, there is a great ab section. No rest here, he wants those abs contracted the whole time!
I kid you not, the day after doing this video, I ached all over, but that's the goal, right? If I wasn't hurting I would think I didnt work hard enough!
Note: Yes, Billy messes up his counts sometimes, and does things a little uneven, but it's not like it's so terrible that one side is going to be noticeably more toned than the other. Billy is very intense, in the moment and wants to encourage you and explain the moves to you. He must forget his counts at times. It doesn't stop him from being an exceptional instructor! Work with it. The music is not crap... if you enjoy the music in his other videos, you will like this. It's upbeat and has a good workout feel to it and it's not the same song throughout. Enjoy Billy's spirit as I do.
Good luck with your fitness/weight loss goals. Here lies a great tool.
