I found this tape of limited value. It is, like the rest of his "Ultimate workout series" a bunch of edited clips from of Billy's other tapes. Unfortunatly, the editing was not done very carefully and sometimes you end up working one side of your body, but not the other. There is one crunching section that is good, it is toward the end. That is the only reason I gave it 3 stars. What I do is go to the end and rewind to the point the crunch section begins. Then I Take out this tape, and put in one of the other full work out tapes like the Impact Full Contact workout and do that, then put this tape back in and do the crunch session to finish off my workout. Be warned, it does not give much stretching in between the individual crunch exercises. I don't know if this is intentional or not. It will start to show a stretch, but then cut to another exercise before the stretch is done. The ending cool down section is also kind of weak. It does some cool down stretches, but I would use another tape with a complete cool down section to end my workout with.

Okay.I love the tae bo series.They all give you an ultimate workout.This one is no exception.If you do tae bo and you don't feel the burn,or go through it easily the first time,your doing something wrong.Let it be your back is not straight,or your not lifting something high enough.This video is very fast with clips from all the best workouts for your abs.You will feel the burn definitley.I've been doing this tape faithfully for 2 months and my stomach is flat and tight.This is def. a tape for you if your looking for a hard workout.

Billy Blanks should be ashamed of himself. He is just using his name and slapping his face on video box covers. He has built good brand recognition and now he is capitalizing it to the max. Instead of making a true ab video that focuses solely on abs, Blanks and his production staff decided to piece together footage of his other videos. The editing is poor, at times not giving you time to transition into the next exercise, other times only working one side of your body. Save your money and buy a protien smoothie or an Atkins bar.

ok, i know it hasnt come out, but I saw a clip of it, and letting everybody know whats in store with this video.
It is about 55 minutes long, and it is a compilation of all the 'live' volumes, i think volumes 2-12.
It wasn't redone, just all the volumes edited together.
It seems to be about 25mins of kicks and some other 20 or so on toning the abs.
It has many of the old moves, but some are slightly changed, maybe makes them more advanced than the old positions.
I just think they should had re-recorded these 'ultimate' series, because u can see the people's outfits change every few minutes! that is why i give it 4 stars and not the 5.
