DVD Reviews of Billy Blanks: Basic Training Bootcamp
DVD Review: It's basic training, but it ain't easy.....
Summary: 4 Stars
Well, first of all, I'd have to say, if you are reading the title and equate "Basic" as meaning easy, you'll probably want to put this one back. It's "Basic Training", a whole different ballgame. Basic in this context is a core set of moves. Now one thing I did not realize when I borrowed this from the library was that it used "Billy Bands". These are two rubber tubing bands that are very slender that make the moves tougher causing more resistance for your muscles. My resistance band was not long enough or the same type so I could not use bands. Instead, for the arm sections I picked up 3 lb weights and used those. I have done Billy's workouts before and I knew due to the number of repetitions how much weight I would want to carry to exhaust the muscle but not to compromise my form. This worked well for the upper arm portion. Of course it didn't do anything for adding resistance to the kicks, but I find trying to use bands for kicks tend to get a little challenging for me to keep the tubing where it should be so, I may not have used them for that anyway.
The workout itself is good. You do squats, pushups, overhead presses, jumping jacks, "running" in a plank position and Billy's usual brand of kicks and punches to add in a little more to your basic calisthenics workout. Before you get to the stretch at the end you do a killer ab segment.
Aside from the bands, it is what I expected and it worked me out pretty hard. I'm a daily exerciser, I normally do a variety of different exercise from Jillian Michaels, Yoga, Salsa, Pilates, kickboxing and felt that this dvd would be in the intermediate category.
All and all a good workout-no surprise moves, if you have done basic training type videos before or Billy's workouts you have done the exercises and you know how to do the kicks that he does and the basic exercises.
I would say this would be good with the bands, without the bands, or like I did, with a little bit of extra free weights if you are more advanced and do not have bands-that will add a bit more to your upper body training.
