Has any tried this workout???

Here is the description on Billy's web page:

Tae Bo® Contact Complete
Punch away the pounds and inches while you gain confidence and transform your life! Billy’s Contact Complete Workout System includes the Billy's Bag™ plus air pump, Contact 1 DVD & Contact 2 DVD and a Motion Map.

It comes with a boxing bag so you have a target.

I was just wondering what anyone thought of it. How advanced is it? Does it teach you proper technique? Is it worth buying?

Thanks for any input

I'll take no responses as a "no". Too bad I was really hoping for some foresight on this. I guess I'll give it a try anyways. It looks a little like what Cathe might be doing in her upcoming project. This might give me a good head start, I'll need it

I think while I'm at it, I'll try the "Squeeze" too

There was a few threads on this one, the general consensus was pretty negative as I can remember.
Billy was awesome years ago, and then his latest stuff has just been lame, really lame. But I still pull out the old Ripped series every now and then, his enthusiasm is contagious!
Nobody like our Cathe, that is for sure.

Check the reviews and threads at videofitness.com - in general, Billy goes so fast that you have a hard time keeping form...and his incessant counting will drive you to drink....having said that, he's such a warm and caring person - seems to be anyway, that you can't get mad at him....none of my friends liked his last set, and no one is getting the new ones either....also try collagevideo.com for reviews.....hope this helps!

I would love to hear from someone who tried this. Please ask over at VF!!

I love Billy. His counting doesn't drive me nuts. He has such a great personality and is a good example of being fit in your 50's.

I have Amped and personally, I like it pretty much. The Amped bar is amazing for the core. I mostly modify up a bit doing double timed moves longer or bouncing on the rebounder for extra cardio during the punches.
I especially LOVE the Core Express workout and Super Charged Fat Burning. I also sort of like the new Celebrity Fit ones from Amazon! I do the same thing with modifying up.......but I do that with most workouts....even some of Cathe's step.
