Billy Blanks Bio and Taebo

Morning all,

I’ll confess - I *adore* Billy Blanks and his wonderful workout called Taebo.  Here’s why.

True, it’s not real martial arts (I do Goju-ryu karate, so I know the difference) but!  Many of the exercises he shows does build great muscle memory as well as really cause you to work up a sweat.

That’s not all, of course.  Billy Blanks himself is a very inspiring man indeed - as a child, he was undiagnosed with Dyslexia, was the 4th child of 15, and lived in a high-crime area to boot.  You can learn more over at his Billy Blanks bio here.  Still, though, he pulled himself up and out and today is an extremely successful business man and fitness trainer.

Billy’s "thing" is called Taebo, a combination of TKD moves, cardio and boxing.  I’ve done several of his DVDs too; my favorite is his Get Ripped II series.  That is killer like nothing else!

There are several ways you can get Taebo at a discount which I’ll list below.  First though, check out some popular Billy Blanks forums/blogs:

• Calorie Count Taebo
• How to Modify Taebo
• Slim Fast Taebo
  
• Taebo Fans

And the reviews are simply most excellent indeed, as you can see here:

Now, regarding Taebo at a discount, you can ask your local Freecycle if anyone has any they’d like to give (that’s how I got my first Taebo series) or even check on eBay for goodies like the below:
