Customer Reviews of Billy Blanks' Tae Bo: Contact Complete [With Billy's Bag] [2 Discs]
Enjoying the workout - use rice instead of water I have been enjoying this workout. I relieved myself of worrying about water leaking on my carpet by filling the bottom of the bag with about 20 pounds of rice! So I can wail away at the bag with no worries!! Although the bag is a lesser version of what Billy and his friends are using, it isn't meant to be a "heavy bag". You are suppose to control your punches and "snap" them back. When done correctly, the bag doesn't flop all over the place.
Love all the workouts but not this one
Well I hate to admit to it but I don't like this workout at all! It was not challenging for me and the bag is the pits. The bag doesn't stay inflated and you can only tap it while working out. I just felt it was a total waste of workout time.
Other than this I love all the taebo workouts or at least all the ones I own and I do have qutie a few.
Sorry Billy but this one is not a winner.
NOTE: "Contact" means barely touching.
Ok, I'm giving this a so-so review. It does get me sweaty, and it is a nice change from my other workout, but the bag is for the birds. It hasn't leaked water on my carpet yet (knock on wood), but it IS basically just a big balloon with a water-filled base. You can't hit it with any force at all -- you have to just lightly tap it. And did you notice the bag you get doesn't look as nice as the one on the front of the box? Minor point maybe, but the ones on the DVD and box cover look more rubberized with a matte finish, while the one I got is shiny like a cheap inflatable raft.
During exercise, the bag turns out to be more of a distraction than an aid, in my opinion. I waste more concentration trying not to hit it too hard than doing the exercises themselves, and I especially hate the sequences that have you crouching on top of the bag while hitting it. Bleh. And what are you supposed to do with that thing when you're not using it? With the water in the base, it's HEAVY. I just drag it next to the wall for everyone to admire because it's too heavy to move to another room. :-p
The workouts themselves definitely get my heart rate up, though, and Tae-Bo is still a lot more fun than leg-lifts, so I'm giving it 3 stars overall. My advice: Skip the "contact" version and get a regular Tae-Bo workout.
