I am a huge fan of Billy Blanks. I have his original Tae Bo exercise videos and have just recently purchased his Tae Bo AMPED exercise DVD’s. In fact, I just finished a Tae Bo AMPED workout. That is where I got the idea to post this review. Here is a sample of the workout:

Here’s a guided grocery store tour with a personal trainer. He reveals some interesting facts about why to buy organic, some common misconceptions that we might have and what items we should be buying if we are concerned about our health and fitness.
Of course, most of these suggestions are more time consuming than popping the [...]
I like this exercise because it is simple and most of us have a stability ball and a set of dumbbells included in our home gym equipment. If this exercise is challenging for you, try doing it without the weights. If it is easy, then don’t just gloat about it, add some extra weight or [...]
Okay, so this video is total silliness. I found it hysterical. I’d bet that you laughed too. Usually comedy is funnier when it’s close to the truth. And the truth is: the floor is a good place to get a great workout. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy using my exercise equipment just as much [...]
If you already have a stability ball as a workout partner, here is a 15 minute exercise video that the two of you can do together.

I even use it as a chair when I’m not working out with it. Why in the world would I do [...]

Using resistance bands gives me [...]
Our core strength is a key component to our overall fitness. Sometimes I get tired of doing the same type of crunches over and over again. So, I’m always on the look-out for new ways to change my “two-pack abs” in for “six-pack abs”.
I am constantly being torn between “getting things done on my to-do list” and saving my thighs from being turned into cottage cheese. Sometimes it’s hard for me to break out of the mindset of - if I can’t get in my hour long workout, that means I don’t have time for it, at all. [...]
