This is a popular advanced tape, and with good reason. AL6 is challenging and fun, and provides a good total body workout (as most of the advanced tapes do). This tape is particularly good for working on your flexibility, as both the warm-up and cool-down have plenty of stretching. There is no floor work in AL6, but there is very good standing ab work in the second half of the tape, as well as flamingo work. I think the thing that makes this tape somewhat tough is the fact that Billy has you do lots of sets of most moves. Many of the moves in AL6 will be familiar to you if you have other tapes. AL6 is also a classic example of Billy saying, "One more set," and then you do at least 2 more! OK, let’s get going.

You start with a good 8-9 minute warm-up, which includes, punches, uppercuts, "pulling" front knee raises, 2 sets of jumping jacks, and lots of good stretching for the legs. The workout itself begins with jabs, then corner-to-corner jabs, then double-time corner-to-corner jabs, both sides. A few hooks, then knee raises, first slow then double-time. A 1-arm speedbag follows, and you can kind of dance around while you’re doing that. Transition into double speedbag, and repeat the knee raises on the other leg, again, first slow, then double-time. From here you’ll do knee raise + pivot + punch (about 4-5 sets) on both sides. Then alternating front kicks, first slow then double-time. Now he evens things up and you’ll do the 1-arm speedbag followed by double-speedbag on the other side. The speedbag work is fast-paced.

Time for a little silly "hoochie-coochie" thing where you kind of swivel your hips around. Now comes your first kicking sequence knee raise + side kick. Do one set very slowly, then 5-6 sets fast. Then comes a fly, slow then fast, and many reps (one side only). Repeat the knee raise + side kick for the other leg, again 5-6 sets fast. Grapevine follows this (4-5 sets), and then the 2-punch combo (jab + cross). Jog in place for a bit (ugh) and repeat the 2-punch combo for the other side. Follow this with cross-the-body punch, both sides, and then 3 jabs + punch, side-to-side. Now a familiar move 2 knee raises + roundhouse kick + punch (only 2-3 sets, each side, and not too fast). Another familiar series comes next alternating front knee raises + alternating front kicks + 4 jumping jacks (4-5 sets). More kicking grapevine + side kick, but only 2-3 sets. Now another fly, but this time, you alternate your arm movements out to the side, then up over your head, and so on. (Only one leg is worked on this.) Are you ready for lots of front kick + back kick? Good try 6-7 sets on each side. Yikes. Now do 1-arm speedbag on both arms simultaneously, and then 2 sets of double-time swivel kicks. Assume your fighting guard position, and do 3-4 sets of side kicks, both sides (the second side goes for about 5-6 sets).

You’re about 35 minutes into the tape and it’s time for ab work. You start with side crunches without lifting your leg (pull the arm down and bring the hip up, squeezing your abs), several sets, then hold it tight. Do for both sides. Then repeat the side crunches, this time lifting your leg, slow then double-time. Again, both sides are worked. Now you will literally do regular stomach crunches (like you would on the floor), except you’re standing up. End of ab work.

A little bit of punching comes next, followed by 3 hops forward and roll the arms as you hop backward. Now a new move squat + side kick. You do only 2-3 sets of these at a fairly slow pace. Flamingo time! Double roundhouse kicks on one leg (5 sets), then repeat on the other side, but slower this time (5 sets again). Now the jackhammer initially without lifting the leg, but then lift the leg and do 3 sets. Hold it! Repeat on the other side.

On the home stretch now. Do 3 fast straight punches and take 3 fast steps to the side. Go back and forth doing this. Now Billy gets you into an "awareness" mode and has you do jabs, pretending you have an imaginary opponent. You do a hard jab and take a step forward while you do it, blowing the air out, and step back. You’ll do several of these, with 1 jab, then 2, then 3. Both sides. This is kind of a funny part of the tape because everyone is really blowing out hard and making noise while they do it. You end with side kicks, but the fastest and hardest side kicks you’ve ever done! It’s cool. And speaking of cool, the cool-down is 7-8 minutes, and almost exclusively leg-stretching, including 30 seconds in the "thinking position".
