Billy Blanks/Tae Bo Abs

Does Billy have an ab workout that's all standing? TIA

Diana- I have a lot of Taebo DVD's and I haven't found a complete workout of standing abs. The first 30 minutes of Insane Abs is standing ab work -

I also have a Taebo Extreme workout from 2004 that has a bonus "Target Exclusive" Taebo Abs workout, but that workout has about 20 minutes of standing ab work, then 10 minutes of floor abs.

From PT 24/7 there is a Ripped Core workout, but I've never done that one so don't know if it is all standing abs or not.

But really, any Taebo is gonna work your abs like crazy!!!

Yes, as mentioned above, it's called Tae Bo Abs (2004):

It's pretty expensive on Amazon:

It is the only Tae Bo I own. I skip the floor section!

Thank you both for your replies. I have several but I didn't know which one to try first. This makes it easier.

Sorry to be so late responding..

TaeBo Live Cardio Abs
2013, and :59 including warm-up and cool-down
All standing; lots of folks on a rooftop with Billy and a few other leaders on a big platform. I think it's L.A.
I didn't actually do this yet but I just fast-forwarded through it to see if there is any ground work. No ground work but a few low stretches so they could be modified or skipped.

It looks like it will fry anyone's midsection

There is one left, as I type this, on Amazon for $18.00 with Prime shipping.

Thanks for that link to Tae Bo Insane Abs. I did the standing portion yesterday and liked it!

anjabear Thank you for that suggestion. I will take a look. It doesn't sound familiar so I don't think I have that one.

After reading the posts today, and watching the video on using hip flexors when doing ab work, I wonder how much this Cardio Abs will use them. It looked like a lot.

I think I may do this DVD today to check it out. I will report back.

Ok, so I lasted about :03 with this DVD.

It goes too fast for me. It has movements that will for sure tweak my lower back in a bad way if I continued, I can tell. And this was just the warm-up.
