I've been doing Tae Bo for about 8 years and I'm a big fan so I always buy these new Tae Bo DVD's as they come out. This is the second from the 'AMPED' range that I've tried out (the other being 'Jump Start Cardio' - not as good as this one).
Anyway, it's true that you don't need the Amplifier resistance bar to do these exercises but if you've already got a lot of Tae Bo DVD's I would say that there aren't really that many new moves in this one and you may find that some of the DVD's you already have are a lot better in terms of producing a more fun and varied workout.
One thing I've noticed is that during this workout, the sets are a lot longer and the routine is therfore more repetitive than I'm used to with workouts like 'Tae Bo Bootcamp'. The other thing is if you buy the Amplifier bar, whilst the slow repetitions feel great in terms of sculpting the body, the fast repitions can be quite dangerous. I've had aching fingers and wrists as a result of some of the speed rounds. The Amplifier bar is a nice idea but it also doesn't translate very well to some of the old moves and I think the DVD is really lacking some original moves created just with the Amplifier in mind.
Overall I would still give the workout 4 stars: just because the power rounds are there, doesn't mean there's anything stopping you from continuing the slow repitions if it feels better - I certainly think this is very good for scupting & toning. The workout also keeps your heart rate up consistently which is good if you're looking for a cardio workout. It's a pity there was no floorwork at the end of the work out though as this would have made the DVD far more worthy of receiving the 4 stars I've given it!

Would not recommend this if you have nt worked out for a while.The results are amazing .I can believe how much of a difference this has made to my total body shape.ITS REAL HARD WORK and you have to just do it, dont think about it!!!!Tough really tough actually, but it get results.If your fed up with your usual work out try this.

You need the Will!
5 Mar 2009
I have used Taebo Amped series for the past 6 months and Full Throttle is by far the most intense. On the days when I'm sore, Full Throttle gives you a great workout without using the bar. If you are up for the challenge, use Full Throttle in the morning and in the evening try Taebo Rock -n- Abs - you will definitely see results! This is an intense video not for beginners in my opinion.

Great 55 minutes of Cardio + Strength workout
29 Dec 2008
I did this in the morning without the "stick" and still felt the result in the evening same day! I like it when the warm up and cool down time are minimized with the majority of the time being the actual workout.
Billy used a combination of cardio and strength moves during the 55 minutes workout. It is really great to start the day with an energtic workout!
In addition, Billy has been so considerate to divide the class into those working out with the "stick" and those without using the "stick" so we could choose to follow whichever suits our level and conditions.
Another wonderful workout!

I love it, very good cardio.

I have the original tae bo advance, billys boot camp and now Billy Blanks -Tae Bo - Amped Full Throttle.
If you are serious about reaching your goals add this to your routine. This is a very good cardio that really hits the upper body very hard. This is exactly what I need. Billy is the best, he really gives me the strength to go on. I love when he comes up to the screen and talk to me. Some people say he talks too much but that is his way of pushing us along and I love that about him. He never forget about the people at home.
