| Description |
|
"Ah, were rockin now, baby!" World Martial Arts champion and occasional action movie star Billy Blanks has become (almost) a household name with his own brand of fitness video, Tae-Bo. Its a simple yet inspired idea: take martial arts and boxing moves (punching, kicking) and turn them into an aerobic dance-style workout that viewers can do in their own living room (providing you move furniture and any fragile ornaments out of range first). No equipment, no dieting, no frills required: just enough space for some shadow-boxing and kicking. The testimony of Tae-Bo converts confirm that its a high-energy, calorie-burning routine guaranteed to work those muscles and sweat away the flab. Our genial, energetic host leads you and a room of acolytes through three intensive live workouts in which the viewer will definitely need all the encouragement he so generously hands out to stay the course--at least for the first time. He launches very quickly into the full workout, so its a good idea to warm yourself up before starting. Or you can watch the instructional session in which Billy introduces all the basic moves of Tae-Bo. This is vitally important as you wont be able to follow the workout routine without some initial practice. Here he is assisted by four women who, disconcertingly for the average couch potato, look like they need no additional toning whatsoever and seem to be made of rubber, so flexible are they when undertaking the stretching and bending exercises. Stiffer, less toned bodies may need to approach these with care. But once youve completed the introduction, youll find that Tae-Bo really is fun: as Billys enthusiasm catches hold and you feel those muscles start to burn youll understand why its become the most successful fitness series on video and now DVD. "Good job, good workout". --Mark Walker |

New York City Ballet Workout
|
The New York City Ballet Workout routine was developed by Peter Martins and the New York City Ballet along with the New York Sports Club. If you envy the ballet dancers long, lean body and graceful, elegant movements, then this beautifully produced video is for you. First watch the rippling muscles of four gorgeous ballet dancers (two bare-midriffed women and two bare-chested men) performing the warm-up moves to classical ballet music, while Martins narrates: no ballet technique is taught..
