Tae Bo Amped

Have you been ready to get a workout going for a while but have yet to find the right routine for you? Well years ago, people got involved in Tae Bo because it provided a great cardio workout that burned a lot of fat and toned muscles at the same time. We haven't heard from Billy Blanks, the creator of the popular workout in a while, but now he is back with a new routine called "Amped." Let's learn a little bit about the workout routine.

What is Amped?

Amped is a new version of Tae Bo created by popular workout guru Billy Blanks that includes more activity during exercise in the form of marching, pivoting, punches, kicks, stances and combinations - basically, it is a more excited and amplified version of the originals, hence the name Amped. The intention of this alternative exercise routine is to utilize "high-speed body sculpting power" to create long muscles, firm your abs and significantly reduce your fat in a short period of time. The reason people say that the new routine is better is due to its ability to burn more calories quicker. According to the company, it provides greater cardio intensity and targeted muscle toning.

What Are Some of the Moves?

According to the program, there are eight basic Tae Bo moves entailed in the Amped program. They include the pile driver, see saw, helicopter, round house, hour glass, reach and pull, side kicks and squat - however, they advise that you watch the DVD for a pose guide as well as to see more advanced moves.

What You Get

Of course, to take advantage of this new routine, you have to buy the product. Here are some things that come with the price you're spending of $39.95: four workout videos, an amplifier sculpting bar (a long bar with two padded ends), Billy Blanks' weight loss guide book, a free bonus fifth workout DVD with Blanks and his team live in LA, a 7-day supply of energy formula, and a free 30-day web club membership (valued at $9.95//month with discounts to the online store, coaching and weight loss tips, live chats and workout calendars). For the price, it doesn't sound like a bad deal, but the next step is to see if others have enjoyed it so far.

Does the Program Work?

Those who have provided their customer reviews of the programs seem to really be in love with this new routine. Similar to the description provided by the company, most people say that it is much more high impact than any of the other videos released, and that they are bordering on exhaustion at the end of the workout. From searching, however, I have yet to run into any reviewers who complain about exhaustion or the program overall - sounds like a winner!

Tae Bo Amped is one of the many Billy Blanks products on the market, and this one seems to be the most popular to date. So if you have 40 bucks handy and want to get an intense workout and a few free gifts, you might want to give this latest Tae Bo installment a try.
