DVD Reviews of Billy Blanks: Postnatal Power - Tae Bo WorkoutDVD Review: I liked this but I was just off of bed rest. Summary: 4 StarsThis work out dvd is not too bad. It really is for someone who is a beginner or just off of bed rest. I myself was just off of bed rest and I found this dvd very helpful. I even worked up a sweat! It did help me loose the baby weight. But again if you were working out hardcore before pregnancy or during than this dvd is not for you. All others this is a great post pregnancy work out.
DVD Review: Fun but Too Easy Even For Postnatal Summary: 3 Starsi have loved tae bo for years so i was excited about trying this. keep in mind, i haven't 'worked out' in years and had just had a baby. i did wait the full six weeks to start exercising again, but i was surprised at how easy this video was for me. usually tae bo knocks me to my knees. this is great for getting your limbs moving and getting reconnected to your body but it truly is easy and i can't see that very many women would get a fat burning or muscle toning workout from it. i only used it a few times before i was ready to move up in intensity. you could maybe save money and just walk around the block and get the same intensity. it would be great for the woman who has never worked out, never done tae bo, is very very overweight, or is going to start on an exercise routine before six weeks post delivery. shelly is as sweet and supportive as ever and they all have lovely realistically fit bodies. and it's not very long, only about 40 minutes, so you can get in a full workout during your baby's nap. good luck!
DVD Review: Too low intensity for me Summary: 3 StarsI started using this DVD about 8 weeks after giving birth and for me it was way too low intensity. Shelley has two ladies helping her demonstrate and I thought it would have been great if she would have had one demonstrating a lower intensity than what she was doing and the other a higher intensity version...this is a strategy I've seen on many work-out videos and feel it is very worthwhile! I do like Shelley's personality and energy. With a little tweaking this DVD could be wonderful! All that said, if you are starting during your pregnancy or only a few weeks after giving birth...or if you were not very active before or during your pregnancy, this may be just right for you!
DVD Review: Low impact, easy to follow Summary: 5 StarsI gave this 5 stars because: 1) it's simple and low-impact, but hand weights or resistance bands can be added for women who are more advanced; 2) it has chapters, so you can target certain areas, or do the entire video in a different order.
I'm 5 months pregnant and bought this video because it was getting hard to keep my balance through the Billy Blanks Boot Camp workouts (which I also love- been using that series for over a year). I've been using resistance bands with this dvd for a more intense workout (my doc gave me the ok to lift weights because I was strength training pre-pregnancy).
DVD Review: Fantastic workout! Summary: 5 StarsI've been doing Tae Bo on and off for about ten years. Every single time I switch workouts, I always come screaming back to Tae Bo. It's the only workout that works for me. I've lost inches, sculpted muscles and developed lean muscle and tone with the help of Tae Bo. Shellie is an incredible instructor. She's such a motivator and I found myself smiling and laughing throughout the workout. She reminds us that we're tough! We're moms, we can do anything and after labor, a workout is nothing in comparison, lol.
The workout itself is perfectly paced for those of us who are just starting to get back into a workout regimen. It's not too fast and not too slow. But most importantly the intensity level is just perfect. You really work up a sweat without feeling like you're on your last legs.
Shellie explains each move and truly motivates you to finish each set without being too pushy or perky. Each segment targets the typical post-pregnancy trouble spots, ie, hips, thighs, buns, as well as upperbody, abs and core. The cardio section is a lot of fun and the tempo is just perfect. Again, the intensity level is what I appreciated most. You're pushed just enough to huff and puff, but not to the point of sheer exhaustion. I really felt the effects after just one workout. And I can honestly say, my abs, arms, and legs have never felt this thoroughly worked out, though I also dabble in power yoga, T-TAPP and various other cardio workouts on a regular basis.
This workout is definitely one of my favorites!
