5.0 out of 5 stars Billy Whips You Into Shape, January 31, 2007

Billy does it again! I actually prefer the older bands to the elite ones, I like the weights but they make them awkward to control. However, the maximum power workout is unbelievable! Forget lifting weights this will get you into shape! As another customer said buy it on his website. He sells a big box with like 8 videos, a cook book and the Billy Bands. You will get a major work out from these videos, but I wouldn't recommend this set for beginners. I have been kick boxing for over 10 years. Many people give up if they start with something too difficult. You should get a feel for the sport before diving into billy banks. Not only may you get discouraged but you could hurt yourself. Try Kelli Roberts Kickboxing for Dummies or Janis Saffel's Quick Fix Cardio Kickboxing. The set they have online does have a beginners workout but you'll get more out of the other two I recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth it just for your ego., September 10, 2007

This set is a wonderful. It keeps you motivated. They give you good form, and make you sweat hard. I look forward to the challenge, and I feel proud of myself after I complete a workout.

Included is a free diet plan too. I would suggest you consult your doctor and listen carefully to everything Mr. Blank says. Listen to your body and if there is any pain, then stop.

After the first week I felt great. Now a month later I notice the difference. I am slowly burning the fat and I sleep better at night. My moods are better too. A friend remarked I was looking better too.

Even if you only do it to feel better then you get your money's worth. Buy these DVDs. It takes about 40 minutes a day. That's one less sitcom or standing in line to order a cheeseburger.

The programs are meant to be personal too. Motivation comes from the feeling of accomplishment one leg kick and punch at a time.

4.0 out of 5 stars I'm a believer!, December 8, 2008

This review is from: ALL-NEW BOOTCAMP ELITE BY BILLY BLANKS (Misc.)

I'm in my fourth week of using this set now. I wanted to wait until I'd tried all three DVDs for awhile before reviewing. And I'll say that I'm almost completely won over. I'll explain the "almost" in a bit.

Mission One: Getting Started
I like this one. It focuses more on the cardio aspect, with some strength built in, using the weighted bands. I like the bands a lot; they're a little awkward at first, but they really do boost your workout. My only criticism for mission one is that it's a great way to get introduced to the workout early on, but I can already feel it getting a lot easier (which is just a testament, I guess, to how much better shape I'm in now!). Each cardio portion starts off doing the motion slowly, and then moving into double time. I think that as time progresses, I'll simply start doing all of it double time to boost the challenge.

Mission Two: Maximum Power
This DVD will kick your butt and the rest of you, too. After three weeks with mission two, I'm still not nearly up to the task. Especially the upper body -- if you're looking to put a dent in those arms, this one will do it for you. I think mission two has the best use of the weighted bands; you can really use them to take your workout to another level. This mission is more focused on strength than cardio - it mixes short cardio segments in between strength segments.

Mission Three: Rock Hard Abs
This is where my "almost" comes in. This segment is awkward to me; I kind of feel like it's just incorporating the bands for the sake of doing so. I ended up not responding very well to this one; it was just a little strange for me. I do like the little 8-minute bonus segment at the end, though - no equipment, just old-fashioned ab work. I've started using, instead, the Core and Stretch segments on Cathe Friedrich's Muscle Max DVD - it's about 15 minutes with no bells and whistles, and really gives you a nice stretch at the end.
