This is an excellent and energetic Tae Bo workout. It has no floorwork at the end. The warmup is really upbeat with nonvocal music that really gets you motivated to workout. The warmup consists of side punches, knee-ups, alternating punches, neck rolls, side stretches and a grapevine with punches. Billy gives some good stretches for the hip flexor with pushups. He also gives standing stretches for the hamstrings. This Tae Bo workout is fast pace with front punches, alternating punches, jumping jacks, horse stance with upper cuts, speedbag with a moving hamstring stretch. The kicks are never ending! Some of them include a knee up and a side kick, 3 point roundhouse kick, alternating roundhouse kicks, squat with a front kick, front kick and then roundhouse, front and back kick and then finally a hop front kick. Kicks are tough because the beat of the music is super fast. But Billy gives you a recovery time by alternating side jabs. One of the harder kicks is a round house kick as you hop around. A new move is a speedbag with a jab. Billy also has you do some fun bob and weaving with punches too. The end of the workout ends with some tough standing ab work using the legs too. I love it! I've seen incredible results in my abs doing Tae Bo. The music is excellent!! My favorite one brings back memories of highschool. It's the GoGo's, "Our Lips Are Sealed". Other songs are ,"Early in the Morning", "Stronger Together", "Aye Como Va", "Lover Come Back To Me", "Move On Up". The end is just a wee bit of Tai Chi but no stretch. I always add more stretching at the end of the workout since there are tons of kicks in this workout. All in all, another winner from Billy Blanks!

Instructor Comments:
Billy gets more relaxed with each live tape made. He is full of energy and shows excellent form on all the Tae Bo moves. he goes around the class motivating and holding his hand up for them to kick. He even jokes at the end with Shelly. He works up a sweat just as much as I do!
