Tae Bo was my solution to getting fit, and it can be yours too! My success story is a testament to the effectiveness of Tae Bo workouts. Billy Blanks' Bootcamp is an outstanding workout DVD series that will leave you sculpted and toned. You can get into the best shape of your life with Tae Bo workouts, and have a great time doing it. Billy Blanks' Bootcamp series is among the best workouts in the extensive Tae Bo collection.

Like many, I discovered Billy Blanks' years ago during late night infomercials--and it's one of the best stumbles in my long history of channel surfing. I have purchased a plethora of infomercial products--Topsy Twirl, Ab Roller, Egg Wave (one of the worst), etc. Like I had been many times before, I was sucked in by the sales pitch, and I went ahead and ordered my first three Tae Bo videos. At this time in my life, I was about forty pounds overweight, and I was desperate to shed the pounds and get fit. Tae Bo was the answer. Billy Blanks' Bootcamp was not the first in Tae Bo collection that I bought, but it has been by far the best and most rigorous and challenging workout I have experienced (Tae Bo and otherwise).

Within five months of beginning my Tae Bo Billy Blanks' Bootcamp DVD workouts, I had dropped the forty pounds that had been weighing me down for the better part of two years. I started out with the "Bootcamp Basic Training" video. The Billy Blanks' Bootcamp series came with flexibility bands, but when I first started the workouts, I wasn't strong enough to complete the 55-minute training video with them on. It probably took about two and a half months before I got through that entire workout with the bands on. It's a tough workout--it is a test of your strength, endurance, flexibility, and cardiovascular fitness--but you can follow at your own pace. Just remember not to let yourself get into a comfort zone--always push yourself to work harder, kick high, and flex your muscles more while you do the workouts.

When you finish a Tae Bo workout, you feel like you have really accomplished something--and you'll be right. I always feel like my muscles are more toned. Billy Blanks' Bootcamp workouts are incredible calorie burners. In my opinion, Tae Bo is as good or better than working out on any piece of gym equipment--and I have never felt as though I got as intense a workout from any other exercise video (and trust me, I have done tons of exercise videos).

I attribute my successful weight loss to a combination of developing healthier eating habits and doing Billy Blanks' Bootcamp Tae Bo workouts. Tae Bo was my sole exercise routine throughout my diet. I generally do Tae Bo about three to five times a week, and throughout my diet, I consistently lost more than a pound every week, never hitting a plateau. The Bootcamp series that I purchased came with "Ultimate Botcamp," "Ab Bootcamp," and a 30-minute "Cardio Bootcamp Live" DVD, which is great when you are short on time and want to burn the most calories possible in a hurry. "Ultimate" is really hard to get through--I still have a hard time getting through this one without needing a few extra-long water breaks to catch my breath.

I can't say enough good things about Billy Blanks' Bootcamp videos. I have an exercise bike, treadmill, weight bench, and elliptical machine at home, and they just sit around collecting dust because none of them can provide me with as complete an exercise routine as Tae Bo can. There are so many videos to choose from--in addition to the Bootcamp series. I recommend getting an array of Tae Bo workouts so that you don't get bored.

Good luck at Billy Blanks' Bootcamp!
