Some people have said they don’t like this tape because there are so many "bouncing" moves in it,but overall, this is an excellent tape, particularly for abs. There is definitely more kicking than punching in BL2. This tape review includes some suggestion for modifying those "bouncing" moves. This tape is of moderate to high difficulty, in relation to the other basic tapes. It is also fairly lopsided as far as doing the same number of reps on each side.

You begin with a decent warm-up/stretch, and then move right into punching. The punching transitions into knee raises (one side only) and then to cross-body punches (supported on one bent leg to work the quads, moving the other leg in front and then to the rear, punching with each movement of the leg). From here you do 2 sets of jumping jacks (suggested modifications: walk in place or just do some knee raises), followed by double speedbag on both sides.

After the double speedbag, you do a standard 3-punch combo (several sets, but only one side), followed by double speedbag again, but this time, he wants you to jump up and down while you do it, legs apart, then together, then apart and so on (suggested modifications: just stand still, get into a good horse stance, or jump every other one).

Now it’s time for some kicking and ab work. You’ll do a grapevine for a few sets, then transition to grapevine-side kick for several sets. Then assume a roundhouse position, and lift the leg straight up while you pull down with a straight arm excellent ab work. You’ll do several sets, both sides. This is followed by alternating or side-to-side roundhouse kicks at a fairly good pace. Walk it out, then time for more jumping jacks, I’m afraid. Alternating front knee raise, alternating front kick, and 4 jumping jacks (suggested modifications: continue to do knee raises and kicks while they jump, only do 2 instead of 4 jumping jacks, or simply march in place).

Here come more roundhouse kicks 4 on one side, 4 on the other side. Several sets of this at a slow pace. Then double-time it for 2 sets or so. Now some 1-arm speedbag work on both sides, moving into three 1-arm speedbags + punch, side to side. You get a breather doing some "fly" work, but then he takes you to squat-front kick combo for 3-1/2 sets. A few front knee raise-front kick combos (they’re jumping in the tape, but you can modify it by simply NOT jumping), then on to swivel kicks both sides, several sets, double time. You end with a slow 1-legged "flamingo" balance kick on both sides. The cooldown is fairly standard, although you do get a hug at the very end, which is pretty cool.

The most notable music in this workout is "Oh What A Night".
