Billy Blanks is a na
me familiar to most fitness enthusiasts as the creator of Tae Bo – one of the first ‘cardio-boxing’ programs to enjoy mainstream success. After selling more than 100 million videos of the Tae Bo exercise program, he is back with an another program – Billy Blanks PT 24/7 that has brought about a virtual revolution in the world of fitness.
Billy Blanks PT 24/7 is a high-intensity fat burning program that combines cardio with resistance training. Through a combination of martial arts movements and regular cardio, this program will help you achieve the body you’ve always dreamed of. Unlike traditional workout regimens which can become stale and boring very quickly, Billy Blanks’ PT 24/7 is fun and challenging. And since you see the results within days instead of months, you are much more likely to remain motivated and stick to the programs.
In essence, Billy Blanks PT 24/7 attacks two fundamental flaws in traditional workouts: one, their repetitive, boring nature that makes most people quickly lose motivation; two, the emphasis on either cardio or resistance training, meaning that you can lose weight or gain muscle, but not at the same time. This severely limits the appeal of traditional workouts and in fact, is one of the major reasons why most people fail to follow through with any fitness regimen.
To address these two key issues, the Billy Blanks PT 24/7 program incorporates elements from martial arts that are fun and challenging to perform. To add resistance to what is largely a cardiovascular program, the program uses a set of highly innovative PT 24/7 cardio bands and gloves. Unlike store bough bands that allow only limited motion, the PT 24/7 bands are fitted onto the gloves, thereby allowing you much more freedom in terms of body movement. The resistance provided by the bands helps to build muscle and tone up your body from top to bottom.
What is particularly likeable about the Billy Blanks PT 24/7 program is its emphasis on a complete body workout. Unlike traditional workouts that isolate arms, chest, thighs, shoulders or back, PT 24/7 exercise movements make use of all the body parts, giving you a thorough workout that will burn calories and build muscle, simultaneously. But that doesn’t mean that the exercises can be performed only by fit 20 year olds. Rather, the program has been specifically designed to let people of all ages ease into the exercise regimen. Best of all, it requires only about 30 minutes in a day – much less than other competitive programs like P90X.
Billy Blanks PT 24/7 comes with a 6 DVD set that cover everything from the basics to advanced cardio and body sculpting exercises. It also includes a thorough nutrition guide, a rotation calendar to track your progress, a pair of bands and gloves, and a bonus DVD (‘Body Blast’) with exercises that turn the intensity all the way up to 11 to make you fitter and leaner than you’ve ever been. The program can be bought through five payments of $19.99 each (which works out to less than $100). At this low price, Billy Blanks PT 24/7 is arguably one of the best exercise programs on the market that will give you the fittest body you’ve ever had.
