Billy's Boot Camp is Worth it.
20 Sep 2005
It is a great set to have. They are the same personality and motivational strategies as the TAE BO , but completely different workout. I was sore for 3 days and I am a marathon runner. He works out your butte and legs to the max. It is for people who are serious about getting into shape. It is common callisthenics, but with a Billy Blanks twist. I ordered mine from QVC and it came with and extra lower body dvd. So 5 dvds, billy bands and a 7day plan came for $37.00 shipping and tax included. It is a great deal........

Awesome, challenging workout- ouch!
6 July 2005
I just received this 4 DVD set in the mail a few days ago. I love it! The set comes with Basic, Advanced, Cardio, and Abs. a 7-day diet plan and "Billy-bands" are included.
I do about 60 minutes cardio a day and needed a different routine; I definitely found it with these videos. Billy Blanks is a great motivator, he sticks with the boot camp theme and surrounds himself with hyperactive muscular fitness folk who are very enthusiastic about doing crunches and push-ups. It's all to the good though, since the workout is indeed challenging and fun. The hour flew by and I felt as though Billy had pretty much beat me to a pulp by the end of the beginner basic workout. He does instruct you very well on the proper method of doing the various exercises and ways to adjust the routine to your fitness level (ie don't use the billy-bands at first). The routine is calisthenic and cardio; a nice mix of his tae-bo moves, paired with standard military basic training fare such as the crab-walk, flutter-kicks, push-ups, and jumping-jacks. The billy bands are added with such exercises as curls and flys. Each routine works your entire body, every single muscle group. The Billy-bands are easy to use and provide the perfect amount of resistance, but can be adjusted by wrapping them around your shoes or hands for even greater resistance. Emphasis is placed on posture and propewr positioning to prevent injury and there are pre and post workout stretching sessions.
The success plan is just an insert that describes a 7-day diet plan that you can use to kick-start your weight loss. It is a reasonable plan to follow, using easy to prepare foods. For example, it might say to eat one egg and a grapefruit for breakfast, a turkey wrap with spinach and low fat cheese for lunch, apple with peanut butter for a snack, etc. It certainly isn't comprehensive, but it's a good basic guide.
I would definitely recommend this DVD set to any fully-mobile, highly motivated, and spry individual. I would not recommend this program for anyone with back or knee problems or a poor sense of balance. If you can bounce around for an hour, this workout should be allright for you. I have enjoyed it so far and am looking forward to advancing to the harder DVDs and getting super thin, in which case I will update this review. :-)

Not complete set
3 Oct 2005
I just received this set. The weekly workout plan lists a cardio dvd that is not included in this set. I already opened the dvds, so I can't get a full refund. Like another member stated, you can get a 5 dvd set elsewhere for $37.68. I wish I would have investigated further before I bought. Very disappointing. I haven't tried the workout yet because I want the cardio dvd so I can follow the plan.
