I'm excited! hope no more billy-bands!

Yeah!!! I love Billy. Maybe it will sell on HSN or QVC so I can get it really cheap. That would be great. I will be on the lookout for it.

No I don't believe it's billybands this time but, there is a new gadget from what I understand.

Billy Bands are ridiculous.. lol but hey.. great for the arms. Fat Blasting Cardio is my new Billy endeavor, even though I am getting ready to order Turbo Jam Maximum Results, because ( I love billy and what he has done to my body) but I am tired of looking at him!

Can I ask a question about the bands. Are the one pound bands any better than the older ones?
Thanks Kathy

I have the older ones, I couldnt imagine the 1lb weight ones because the old bands like to kill me. lol

Any word on what 'amped' will be like?

I hope the music will be better than his most recent ones.

The new TaeBo Amped series, will be available the end of this month. The new gadget will be a 3lb weighted bar, sometimes called a sculpting bar. If I am correct, there will be 4 dvds and 1 bonus dvd in total 5 dvds. Additional workouts will be available later in the year.

I ordered mine last week from Collage....I'm hoping it will be here today...finally.

I like to preview videos at the Collage Video website. From the previews, the workout looks intense.

well, it was delivered on Friday...I planned to play with it over the weekend, but I had a horrible GI virus that flattened me. I tried this morning but after 15 mins, i realized it was too much for me today. the bar is a very nice addition, but I didn't use it yet.

Mine arrived yesterday. The bar looks interesting and looks fairly sturdy. This also comes with a little booklet with a low carb meals plan for an eight day jump start, information about restaurant dining, a workout guide and a 7 day pack of some sort of Billy vitamins. The 5 DVDs come in this small paper folder thingy, which is the only thing that disappointed me a little. Most other DVDs I get come in a hard plastic case. Maybe he was being enviromentally friendly - I dunno.
Anyway, the plan recommends doing the workouts the first time without the bar, which makes sense to me since a new workout is always a bit challenging just because you don't know the steps yet. I'll be doing the cardio jump start tomorrow morning so I'll report in.

well this morning I was in a better place and able to do some of the workout more effectively.....I made it through 20 mins only and had a good sweat started (but I've been ill so that might be part of it). I like the cardio jumpstart routine, I really like the AMP-lifier,(or you could use a bodybar mini) I really like the workout that I've done, know I will feel this tomorrow.

There is no instructional portion I've found except in booklet form. Mine came from Collage where I paid $49.95, no vitamins, (little bio on Shellie) but mine was in the cheapie cardboard case too....I have some CD plastic covers at work to change them.

I ordered from Collage because of the difference in shipping price. at the same time I ordered Billys new Celebrity Sculpt and they wanted to charge me over $21.00 to ship everything....Collage was $10. more, but $7.99 total shipping.
