DVD Reviews of Tae Bo Contact 1
DVD Review: Not What I Expected
Summary: 2 Stars
This DVD was not what I expected at all. First, in order to be able to do most of the workout, you really do need Billy's special "upright speed bag," aka a "bobo doll" for adults, as another reviewer described it. I was under the impression that I could substitute a heavy bag, especially since Billy says in the beginning if you want to really hit hard, go get a heavy bag, but you really can't. I realize that is my mistake, which is why I gave the product two stars instead of one.
Second, Billy moves so slowly throughout the workout that I literally did not break a sweat after 43 minutes (I did all of the punching on my heavy bag, and when there was an exercise I could not do without the special Billy bag, I did squats, lunges, jumping jacks, anything to keep moving). I honestly don't know why the people on the DVD are dripping, unless the studio is excessively warm.
Finally, in typical Billy Blanks fashion, he makes things up as he goes along. Ordinarily, I'm not too bothered by uneven sets or mistakes in counting; I can get past that. But he literally announces mid-way through the tape that he "just came up with an exercise" while we were doing something else a moment before. For some reason, that really irked me.
All in all, if you have never done Tae Bo before, there is a nice intro to punches and kicks in the warmup, and it is better than doing nothing. However, do not expect to get much of a workout if you have been working out consistently for any length of time previous to this tape.
