Wednesday Tae Bo w/Billy Blanks

[Guest guest]

Wow! Great workout for me! I got the " Power and Strength " DVD from Goodwill for

$3, and it was a good investment. It actually has 2 45minute workouts, one

called Power and one called Strength. Hmmm..

His style would not be for everyone, but I like it. I I did the " Strength "

tonight. He starts out with methodical stretches (something I always need)> his

backgrounders are always chanting an 8 beat count. I also like that, for some

reason -- like it helps me focus or something. also steps through each

routine at half speed two or three times before doing it to tempo. Even with the

slower practices, I still screw up, but not nearly as badly as I would if they

were presented fast.

He frequently reminds you about posture, tighten your abs, and such. He seems to

concentrate on the strength and form rather than speed and cardio (which makes

sense for a workout called " Strength. " )

I like his overall tone ans speed of the workout. He gets a little preachy about

health philosophy at the end, but, hey, it's a DVD with an off button.

I think I'll do this again and fairly soon.

Indyrose,

who will probably have butt DOMS tomorrow!
