Details: Amazon.caConsider yourself old–well, experienced–if you didn’t know that Billy Blanks, one of the first fitness gurus and the creator of Tae Bo, has a son who’s something of a star in the fitness and dance worlds himself. Billy Blanks Jr.’s Dance with Me Cardio Fit combines those two disciplines, with the express aim of offering fat-burning routines that are not only challenging, but fun–« regardless of size, age, or fitness level, » as he puts it. It works. Blanks, who’s accompanied by wife Sharon and a quintet of relentlessly upbeat fellow workout enthusiasts, has energy to spare, with a positive and encouraging attitude that does indeed heighten the enjoyment of this vigorous workout. (The video can be viewed with or without Blanks’s instruction; after a few times through, the latter option may appeal to those who don’t care to be reminded to « make it funky, » « get gangsta with me, » « give me some flava, » or Blanks’s various other exhortations.) Following a brief explanation of proper breathing technique and a five-minute warm-up, the program offers three ten-minute sequences: hip-hop, country, and Bollywood. Each contains music and moves specific to the respective genre; the hip-hop portion features the « wassup, » « lean rock, » and « patty cake in the ‘hood, » among others, while the country section includes the « cowpoke » and other hands-on-the-belt-buckle-type steps, and the « bollyrock, » « bollywave, » and others can be found in the third and final part (a « custom workout option » enables users to sequence them in any order), with a two-minute, calorie-burning « cardio burst » at the end of each one. Blanks does a fine job of showing a move, repeating it, then gradually adding more steps before combining them all in one extended sequence. One need not be especially coordinated to handle all of this, although it helps; and while mastering the moves may not land you in a Madonna video (which can be found on Blanks Jr.’s rsum), Dance with Me Cardio Fit will assuredly put some fun into your fitness. –Sam Graham
