Woo!
Who doesn’t remember Billy Blanks and his infinitely cheesy Tae Bo informercials from the 90’s??
Oh, people who were too young? People who didn’t watch informercials?
Okay, okay. There’s a chance you might not know him. He’s the creator of the workout Tae Bo, which was actually ahead of its time — especially now since fusion fitness is everywhere.
But Blanks has been absent for years.
Turns out, he’s been in Japan, creating some new shizz for us!!
“What makes me feel good is that in new workouts, fitness instructors use the basis of Tae Bo. Tae Bo still works, and people still love it, I just haven’t been here to teach it.”
He’s currently teaching at a Gold’s Gym in Topeka Canyon, California, and his newest program, PT 24/7, which features a system of resistance bands attached to gloves, will roll out nationwide at the end of October.
“Those who saw the old style say what I’m doing now is so different and new and exciting, but it still has the same foundation.”
Hope the comeback works, Billy!
Because not only will you be back on top — you’ll be helping people be healthier while you do it!
Good lucky!
