Time graph for Billy Blanks' Ultimate Tae Bo

This 90-minute program features an endlessly-motivating series of Tae Bo combinations. It’s a super-high-energy fat-burner -- Billy’s longest workout ever (but, for a shorter workout, you can stop at the pre-programmed 59-minute breakpoint). The cardio segment is classic Tae Bo — legendary combos like “fast feet,” “speed bag arms” and “quick steps.” They’re well-cued, smoothly transitioned and never repeated. That’s followed by a challenging set of alternating aerobics and toning intervals. ©2007. DVD has: Chapter menus.

Billy Blanks' Ultimate Tae Bo
Not Advanced
Like many others I am pining for the original advanced Tae-bo. This does not compare to the Tae-bo live series. Billy was great then. He is not now. This dvd has too much walking it out and nowhere near enough moves. So sorry Billy, but retire if you need to and let Shelly take over. Her energy is amazing. I have not liked anything he has put out since Bootcamp. If the original Live series came out on dvd I would buy those. Otherwise I am done wasting my money. P.S. I shelved this one permanently. - posted by Andrea on 1/24/2010

Another great workout
I have been a long time fan of Billy Blanks and his videos. They are a nice way to get extra cardio in for me, on my days off from lifting. This video is another fun video from Billy. It does have a few parts where it is kind of slow but it picks right back up and they are a nice breather. I alternate this with my other tae bo videos. - posted by Love Tae bo on 10/28/2009

Fun workout!!
This is for die hard Tae Bo lovers!!I sweated my butt off and about half way through it, Billy throws in some pretty impressive dance moves, very fun and funny. You can tell his daughter really gets a kick out of him..I loved this workout and if its not hard enough for you, maybe focus more and put 100% into it..it is a hard but fun workout, money well spent! - posted by Kelley on 8/27/2009

Great workout
I can't believe some of the reviews saying this was not a tough workout. I box, it's a tough workout, you will get in shape. It's that simple!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Billy Blanks!!!! - posted by Alex on 8/27/2009

Not Great
Let me start off by saying that I love Billy Blanks and I have several of his earlier video tapes. It's been a year or so ( I broke my leg ) since I've done his tapes so I decided to get a new tape, since mine are probably out dated. Well, I tried this a few times and I'm sending it back! I was dissapointed in this CD. I could hardly break a sweat and once I did he would start a new routine with his instructionary slow routine and my heart rate would slow down again. There wasn't any cardio in this! I'm going back to my old Taebo tapes - Taebo Total 1,2 & 3 advanced tapes, they offer everything. In addition I would only rate this video at INTERMEDIATE. - posted by Julie on 8/11/2009

Wasn't feeling an aerobic workout
I should say that I workout very frequently - I run almost every day, do toning every other day, and usually squeeze in some step, biking, rollerblading, volleyball, etc. So perhaps that's why I didn't find the workout particularly challenging. But I thought I should mention this for anyone else who is looking for an advanced workout - this is at most intermediate. Billy slows down to show the moves for 16-32 counts - which is great if you don't know kickboxing, but kept my heartbeat down. I will say that I found the workout a nice toning supplement for my abs and legs. - posted by Josie on 8/7/2009

The Best Tae Bo
I have six different Tae Bo DVD's and this one is by far my favorite. True, it's not as hard as Billy's Bootcamp, but I like it better. The warm-up seems a little too long, but that's not really a big deal to me. It's fun and I want to keep doing it the whole time. - posted by Julia on 6/28/2009

AWESOME !
Don't listen to the other comments ...first off you have to workout 30 mins for your body to get a workout so the fact that its 90 mins is great! And 2nd the video pauses after 60 mins so if you want you can stop there. All I have to say is that I'm swaeting like a racehorse once I stop at 60 mins, & the most important thing of course is that I've lost weight its a great video friends BUY IT :) - posted by Vanessa on 6/2/2009

not that ultimate!
I'm shocked I was expecting a super tough workout I own the Ultimate boot camp which gives me a goood workout this one was less intense. - posted by Rachel on 4/29/2009

Not that hard and too long
It wasn't that hard , and it was too long. It does work your arms and abs. Some of Cathe's videos are more challenging. I would not rate this as advanced but intermediate. - posted by Cari on 3/24/2009

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.

Chapter menus

You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).

Level

Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact

Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography

Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis

Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Floor aerobics & toning

Definition: Includes two workout activities. The aerobics segments are fast-paced standing movements like marching, dancing and jumping. These segments require no equipment. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against a resistance. These may include Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: The combination of both activities provides a balanced workout. The aerobics burns calories, strengthens your heart and increases stamina. The toning builds lean muscles, increases your metabolism and makes everyday activities easier.
