Tae Bo II Get Ripped Advanced Workout

Billy Blanks
Year Released: 2001

Categories: Boxing/Kickboxing/Martial Arts


On cardio work, I am an intermediate exerciser who is playing with advanced choreography. For a change, I do kickboxing periodically. I have the DVD with both “Get Ripped” Advanced workouts. I find that I do the first one more often than the second, but I’m not sure why.

Billy leads a large group of background exercisers and often stops exercising himself and runs around to motivate and correct form of the other exercisers. It is a good and intense workout. There are times, however, when it seems like Billy is making up the routine as he goes. The pace on some of the moves is simply way too fast – and I’ve learned to just go at my own pace and not worry about how fast they are going. The two sides of the body are not always worked equally. If that is important to you, this workout will probably irritate you.

By the end of this workout, I am usually dripping in sweat. It is a good workout for me. I don’t, however, pull it out very often. It is nice to have when I am in the mood.

Instructor Comments:
Billy is very motivational and inspires me to work harder, even when I don't feel like it.
