Amazon.com Product Description
World-renowned fitness expert Billy Blanks comes through again with his Tae Bo Amped series, which combines short, intense "cardio bursts" with signature Tae Bo moves for maximum benefits and optimum results. Each of these high-powered, high-energy workouts--the bundle comes with five heart-pounding, full-length DVDs--will help you attain a toned and sculpted body, strengthen your core, burn fat, and increase your overall fitness level for a total body workout. Longtime fans of Tae Bo and newcomers alike will experience a workout unlike any other, with Billy providing the inspiration and motivation to work hard. And to assist you during your workouts, Amped comes with Billy Blank's Amplifier sculpting bar, which adds muscle-shaping resistance to all of Billy's Amped workouts for greater cardio intensity and targeted muscle toning for your lower-body problem areas. Other items in the Amped bundle include a Billy Blanks weight-loss guidebook and a seven-day energy formula.

The kit comes with the following DVDs:

  • Jump Start Cardio: Energizes your body and helps fight fat and flab for high-speed total-body slimming (approximately 41 minutes)
  • Fat Burn Accelerator: Pushes the cardio-conditioning pedal to the metal to take you where you want to be--firm, toned, and looking and feeling great. The DVD features all-new, super-intense cardio moves that maximize the calories you burn per minute (approximately 52 minutes)
  • Full Throttle: Attacks fat with incredibly intense cardio and explosive muscle-toning exercises (approximately 55 minutes)
  • Core Express: An intense 30-minute workout created to target all the problem areas we have. You'll tighten and tone your abs, firm and lift your buns, and do it all in record time (approximately 31 minutes)
  • Live in LA: Puts you at center stage as Billy trims and tones you to the core, blasts fat, and lifts you to new heights. You'll enjoy a front-row seat with Billy and 300 Tae Bo fans and followers as they work out at the world-famous Hollywood Palladium (approximately 43 minutes)

5 out of 5 stars Great fun   July 22, 2008
Have not gotten to use this product a lot so far but the little that I have I know the whole set is going to be super energizing for me. I especially like that you are encouraged to work at your own pace. Plus I do not feel like I have to be a dancer to be able to follow along like on some other exercise videos that I have used.


2 out of 5 stars Good for a little while   July 19, 2008

I have had a few different Tae Bo workouts and this one has been my least favorite. I've had it for about 4 months and my amplifier bar has already broken. The cheap plastic broke and a metal bar came flying out! Another thing I didn't like is that there are very few kicks in the workout. It kept me entertained for a little while but I wouldn't recommend it.


4 out of 5 stars GREAT BUY   July 7, 2008
TaeBo Amped is amazing. It really works your body. What I like about it is that the workout builds up and doesn't allow your body to rest (meant that in a good way). You can do these exercises with or without the amplifier which is good. The amplifier is a bit bothersome though because it doesnt lock in the short position all that well. It can be frustrating at times. I suggest you use a 3lb dumbbell (or 2) instead providing that you have one. It is much easier.

I should also caution you that if you are suggesting buying this product that you workout at your own pace. Billy and the crew always start a new workout in normal pace and when he feels that you know the steps, he moves quicker "amping" it up. I suggest u exercise at your own pace because if you try what they're doing u might hurt something. The start of the DVDs always display that the company is not liable for any injuries that may occur so please make certain you do these moves right. One of the DVDs (not sure which one) does show you how to work the amp so you won't be that lost. I do reccommend this for beginners because it is a great product - u can start at your own speed and get more precise and quicker as you go along. Please I can't caution you enough - please please please work at your own pace and then when u have the moves down right and work at it, you will be able to move as fast as they do.

I give this product a 4star because of the amplifier problem, but besides that it is great. You do feel the burn the next day, but is a good burn. And you will see and feel the difference in your body in 1 week. (Also as some reviewers mentioned, Shellie is extremely annoying in this workout set but if you can get pass that u will have a super workout).



4 out of 5 stars If you are advanced in Tae Bo, you'll use2   July 5, 2008
I usually am not critical....core express/live and the cardio dvd are not enough to get me ramped or amped or whatever.

I do for a M-Sat..fat blasting cardio/full throttle/get ripped advanced 1/fat blasting cardio bootcamp elite/fat blasting cardio amped/full throttle...rest...and then others in between the 2 amped ones

I can't stand the others....just keep it in mind.



5 out of 5 stars Yeah Right !!!   June 22, 2008

That is exactly what I thought when I opened the package and saw this little 3 pound bar. What is that thing going to do for me. Well, the best was to come. I put the DVD in to see what the exercise drills were like and once again (except this time in a state of awe and disbelief) Yeah Right went through my head except this time I'm thinking how in the world would I ever be able to keep up with this? Well, one must atleast make an attempt before bringing any type of judgement on any product. I soon realized I wasn't completely helpless and I needed all the encouragement I could get after all these years of smoking cigarettes and destroying my body. It didn't take long to see that although I was only able to keep up in bits and pieces in the beginning that with a little persistance I was able to catch up with the class and it didn't take as long as I was afraid it would. I took 2 inches off my waiste line in the first week and that was just getting the hang of things. I'm in the middle of the 2nd week now and looking forward to more positive results coming my way not to mention how much better I feel. If you don't believe me go [...] and look under Videos on the menu and try out some of the samples. YOU WILL BE CONVINCED !!!
