  • I was getting ready to get billy's bootcamp and was wondering how good it is and does it burn a lot of calories?
  • I use the taebo bootcamp series and I absolutely LOVE it!! It's a fun workout and it really kicks your butt!! It'll burn calories really well too.. but I think it depends on your weight and everything. I don't know how to really tell it.

    I would highly recommend it! I love the billy bands as well because it brings an extra something to the table! You will totally feel the workout the first time you do it!!

    cool thanks for your help. I definitly will check it out!
  • I LOVE Billy's Bootcamp and the resistance bands are awesome. I'm definitely already seeing a difference. Of course there is still fat on top but I can see and feel the muscles in my arms and legs. If you are looking for a kick butt exercise routine then this is the workout for you.
  • I am hoping to get this as a Christmas present. I think this is one fun looking workout..
  • I really like the Boot Camps too - I've been doing Taebo for over 7 years and feel it with the bands even more. My favorite workouts though are the Fat Blasters.

  • well I did get the video and your right it does kick your butt. The only problem I have is that it is hard to do everything because I am short and heavy, but I did finish the video. I guess I can work my way up!
  • I understand kittiebabyh, especially when he does double time and picks up the pace. But when he does that, I just stay at the regular pace. For now that is too much for me but every workout I realize I do just a little more than the last workout.
  • Totally do what teahoney says... when you goes doubles.. just stay with the slower pace. I have to do that too!! It's been a little over a month and I'm JUST at the point where I can do the first 15 minutes without stopping!! haha You'll definately get better at it... just keep at it
  • Heck, there are some days I do the slower reps because they are going to fast & I've been doing Taebo for almost 8 years (February) - it just depends on my body that day! You have to listen to your body and not feel bad if you're not keeping up. YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING!!!!! It's a lot better then sitting on the couch and watching the workout!!! LOL And believe it or not, you will get there sooner then you think.

  • bootcamp dvd's
    I would like to thank yo all for posting about billy's bootcamp. After reading your postings I checked out overstock.com and they had a couple day of no shipping charges so I ordered the basic and ultimate bootcamp dvd's. Glad I did cause when I checked the site Friday they are totally gone !! They must be getting high ratings everywhere!
  • Jennifer and I just got this and are looking forward to trying it after Christmas is over and the food settles I'm glad to see a lot of interest in it
  • I have some interest in getting that as well. Will enjoy coming back here and maybe reading how ye all like it. I have a few older Taebo tapes and sometimes enjoy doing them.
  • I started doing Bootcamp about 5 months ago and let me tell you - those bands make a big difference. Yes, it hurts but you will get used to it!!! My arms are very muscular now and I haven't worked out in 5 years. I do Ultimate Bootcamp 3 times a week and another one of his DVD's "Get Ripped Advanced" twice a week. I can keep up with him but I cannot do the squat thrusts at all. I have tried and tried but just can't Anyone else having that issue?

    I wanted to add - I have been doing it on and off for the past 5 months and have been consistent with it the past month.
  • Rozy, I can not do the squat thrusts either. It is good to know that I'm not the only one. Those suckers are hard. I'm looking forward to the day when I can finally do them.

    I am noticing muscle in my arms and legs as well. Unfortunately with my weight, everyone else can't see it but as the fat leaves, I am happy knowing that nice muscles will appear. And I have only been doing the bootcamp for about six weeks. I can't wait to see what I'll look like after doing it five months.
