This is an advanced Tae bo workout but Billy calls in Tae Bo Groundwork. The first 15 minutes of the workout is like the original 8 minute workout. Fun standing Tae Bo work. It's sort of a long warmup with some side stretches and shoulder rolls but mostly you jump right into the workout with jumping jacks with a side jab, high impact foot work, upper cuts, side punches, knee-ups, cross body punches, and much more. He does do some kicks. Some are front kicks and side kicks. Mostly just to get your blood pumping. It is great to add the first 15 minutes of the workout to a basic Tae Bo workout. Billy coms up to the camera really close and he is all sweaty! Too funny! He also does this funny move that looks like some "ho down" move you would do at a barn dance:)) Then he also does this funny robot dance move to"My Sharona"song. He says it's really good for the abs then he goes into a funny "go-go" dance move right before the floorwork. Anyway, the rest of the workout( about 45 minutes) is what Billy calls, "Butt Time!" If you think the original advanced Tae Bo floor workout is tough, watch out! This one is killer! Lot's of donkey kicks, side knee lifts(fire hydrine(sp?), floor roundhouse kicks and much much more! The music is super upbeat and awesome! It really keeps you motivated. IF you like floorwork that is so tough that your butt feels like it's about to fall off, you will love this video! IF you thought Firm 1 floorwork was tough...woe! Then when you think you're done on your hands and knees, NO! You go down on your side for inner and outer thigh work and then on your abs for more butt work and then turn over on your back and do more butt and hamstring work! This is high repetition-endurance workout. No weights are used but it is still very tough. Shelly(Billy's daughter) groans through it! The class is more spacious and there are all different kinds of people working out. Even a guy in a wheel chair is working out. The ab work is tough. BIlly shows how to do full sit ups. Then you stand up and do some jabs and hooks with a turn and then a 1 minute plie hold and some roundhouse kick holds and front knee kick holds. There is no stretches. Just a bit of Tai Chi cooldown. This is a great Tae Bo floorwork video to rotate with the other Tae Bo workouts. Some of the songs are,"Love Machine", "My Sharona","I'm in Love", "Snap Shot", "I Like It", " Anytime". They are super upbeat and really help you get into the workout!

Instructor Comments:
Billy is charming, friendly and is so encouraging. He gives good form points all throughout the video and checks everyones form. He tells you to go at your own pace and to rest and drink water if you need to. He shows you how to do a sit up with help. He comes up to the camera and makes you feel like you are right there with him. He is the greatest!
