I think Billy Blanks still has something to offer to the fitness world, but he really needs to ditch the gimmicky toys. Either use standard equipment that can be bought at any sporting goods store or stick to bodyweight exercises. Tae Bo would never have been as popular as it was if it required buying some funky, oversized, shake weight.

Great article! I love Billy and the Tae Bo workouts I have, and I don't mind the counting at all. I really enjoy his Tae Bo Amped series, I never got the Amped bar, but the Pilates Slimming Bar from the Mari Winsor set works just fine for me, I also enjoy his PT24/7 with the gloves and bands (which a kind VFer gifted me a while back
 ) so I guess I'm in the minority here. That being said, I'm not interested on the "shaky" part of the gadget as I never liked the idea of the "bodyblade", but apart of that, the video didn't look that bad to me. I was hoping for a workout system that included weight training and cardio separately, as I have seen on his youtube channel some workouts like "Pump" style using a barbell and a club step.

I love Taebo, and still do a Taebo workout here and there. I even like PT 24/7 though I use light dumbbells and skip the gloves and bands.
So, I wish the new workout did not use any gadgets. Just straight Taebo or Taebo and dumbbells.
