Tae Bo Live Advanced Volume 6

Billy Blanks
Year Released: 2000

Categories: Boxing/Kickboxing/Martial Arts


This video follows the format of all his "lives". I didn't find it to be as brutal as the others I've done (mentioned above), but it got the job done. The music was decent, the moves were pretty standard with one or two new ones mixed in and at the end before he cools down he takes a few minutes to slowly go over kicks and punches which I found really cool although I think it would've been more helpful to do that at the beginning, it's still a good feature. He also does standing abs in this one. It's definitely a keeper for days when I don't want to kill myself, but I want to sweat and know I've gotten a decent workout.

Instructor Comments:
I have to say, Billy was at his very best in this workout. I've never seen him interract that much with his students. He walks around encouraging all of them and makes them feel so good about themselves. Especially at one point, there's a boy in a wheelchair and Billy actually went to him and helped him move his legs because, I'm assuming the kid was paralyzed and I could just feel so much warmth eminating from Billy throughout. He goes to one of the men in his class and practically climbs on top of him trying to break his stance, and of course, he pivots Shelly around in a complete circle while she's in a locked kick stance. I've seen and done quite a few of his videos thus far; Ultimate Boot Camp, Ab Bootcamp, Total Fat Blaster, Live 4 and 7, Get Ripped Advanced; and I have to say that Billy has never "inspired" me so much as in this workout.
