Consider 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 résumé), Dance with Me Cardio Fit will assuredly put some fun into your fitness. --Sam Graham

- Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2025Good workout, easy tobdo
- Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2013I really enjoy the Billy Blanks Jr dance series and this DVD was no exception. He breaks down the dances in easy to understand components and takes you through them slowly several times then at regular speed several times. The moves are eventually strung together until you complete the whole routine. I also like that you can choose between doing the dances with his spoken instruction or choose to have the music only. This is nice when you want to practice on your own.
The single thing I don't like, and I feel really bad even mentioning it, but the fact is his wife is one of the dancers. She soooooo desperately wants to be the star so she interferes with his instruction, hogs the camera, jumps into the frame and even sings one of the songs they dance to during the cool down. She seems like a sweet person but it's pretty distracting to learning and practicing.
Other than that, you can't go wrong with this.
Oh, one more thing, this is a good DVD for people who need a low impact workout. Actual mortals can perform the moves without the need for kidney belts and knee braces. It still gives you a lovely workout but without needing to be a 21 year old gymnast to perform the dances.
Now if I could just find a mute button for his wife....
- Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2012I actually look forward to working out with this DVD. Billy Blanks Jr., his wife, and his Dance With Me dancers make this workout fun. After I saw Billy Blanks Jr on Shark Tank, I knew I had to get his DVD, and I'm so glad I did. This has become my go-to workout DVD.
PROS:
Billy Blanks Jr.: He is the main factor behind why this workout is so fun. He encourages you to think of this as your "playtime" and "have fun with it". Plus, he has a great presence. He makes you WANT to watch him because he seems to be really having fun with it too.
Music: It has a great beat and makes me want to move. I believe the music is specific to this DVD.
You Choose Your Workout: There is an option to put together which segments you want to do, and once you hit play, you get your customized workout.
Workout Options: 5 min Warm Up
12 min Hip Hop Routine
12 min Country Routine
12 min Bollywood Routine
5 min Cool Down
The Routines are actually ten minutes long. Billy Blanks Jr. builds a routine one move at a time, and then you do the routine a few times at the end. The last two minutes are a "Cardio Burst" that has nothing to do with the routine, but rather is some fast-paced movement like running in place and jumping jacks. It's easy to follow.
Breathing Tutorial: About 5 minutes. Billy Blanks Jr and his wife show you the proper way to breathe. Since breathing correctly is so important as it gives you more energy, helps move the blood more efficiently, and just makes you feel better, this is a great addition. Even though I know how to breathe correctly, I appreciate the reminder.
Billy Blanks Jr's wife: She throws in some comments here and there and I find it adds a little something to the workout. Makes it feel more real and less staged. She has a great presence as well and complements Billy Blanks Jr. nicely.
The dancers: They all look like they are having a lot of fun. Billy Blanks Jr. interacts with them throughout which makes it really seem like they are his "Dance With Me family."
CONS:
Not much. I find the Warm Up starts out pretty slowly so I have to walk around for a few minutes to get my heart rate down before doing it, but that might just be me.
There is no step-by-step guide independent to the instruction during the routines. While I don't find any moves particularly difficult, I think there are a few that I could be doing better with a separate step-by-step guide that really breaks down some of the moves.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:
There are modifications if you are looking for low-impact.
I've been doing a lot of walking, but not a lot of cardio, so this is perfect for me. The first five or so times I had to stop one or two times during each routine because I was so winded, but now I can get through each routine okay, take a break, and do the next routine. If you are in super great shape you may not consider this a great workout. If you are in below average to average shape, or just want a fun workout, then this should do it.
I love this DVD and will look into getting more of Billy Blanks Jr DVDS.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2014I really enjoy this workout- I'm an overweight, out of shape sahm of 3 small children and decided I needed something fun, low impact but good cardio and easy on the knees (certain workouts and exercises strain my knees since I'm overweight).
With any exercise you get what you put in to it- since I'm just getting into cardio/working out, I can't always jump around when they do (mainly in the cardio bursts) but the moves are easily modified while still keeping the heart pumping. Ive been doing this dvd 4-5x a week- I do the warmup, hip hop, Bollywood and cool down so I get over 30min of good cardio with my heart rate ranging in the 130-150s. I don't notice any particular muscles being sore afterwards so it's definitely not for "strength training" so to speak (I do that at the gym), but for me, it's great cardio.
Billy is a great instructor- he's motivating and emphasizes often to have fun! I appreciate the fact that he reminds you to breathe because I catch myself at times holding my breath. I have no problems having to stop and switch to another workout on the menu- I keep moving to keep my heart rate up and its also a prime time to do a heart rate check to make sure I'm in line.
Overall, no complaints! I would definitely recommend to someone who is easing back into exercising and needs good, fun cardio!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2011I actually did have a bit of a problem keeping up. I did fine with the hip hop, had trouble with one step during the country and was completely lost at the beginning of the Bollywood section. It was fun though. Billy and his wife are very motivating and genuinely enjoy what they're doing. I wish the sections were a little longer and the full combos were done more frequently and a few times in a row. I wasn't sore or anything the following day, but I'm OK with that as long as I'm having a good time. I just feel that there was a lot of set up for a little payoff. I want to actually feel like I can dance (because in reality I have zero rhythm and can't dance if my life depended on it) and I just didn't get that - I would have gotten it if (as I previously mentioned) the full dance combo/routine was ran through more than a couple of times. It would have made the cardio part a little more intense and I would have felt like I worked out more than I did. It's still fun and worth doing every so often.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2024I had spine surgery less than a year ago & was told that dance exercise would be best for my spine. I have bought other dance videos & they are great! I feel wonderful & absolutely no pain during the workouts!

3.0 out of 5 stars Jr.とおかしな仲間達☆
ヒップホップ・カントリー・ボリウッドの3種類からなるエクササイズDVD。一つが約12分程なので、時間の無い方には最適かと。ダンスも簡単なので初心者なら3回程流して踊れば楽しく踊れる様になるかと。ただ、どのダンスもちょいと古臭い。。。(^^; おまけに、Jr.と共演している素人さん風メンバー達のテンションには苦笑い。特に奥様の迫力が凄い。(笑) 正直、エクササイズに仲良しこよしや仲間内のノリの良さは不必要かと。Jr.だけ、もしくはご夫妻で十分。但し、お子様の情操教育にはよろしいかと☆ 程好く汗をかきたい方にはおススメですが、ボディメイクとなると他のエクササイズとの併用をおススメします。(持久力はつくけれど、バランス良く筋肉はつかないかと) 英語がわからなくても大丈夫です♪(もしくは中学生程度の語学力で十分) 余談ですが、パパ・ビリーとは何もかもが正反対☆長くすらりと伸びた手足に小顔のハンサムJr.は、目の保養になりますよ♪(笑)
