Tae Bo (Billy Blanks' Tae Bo')

An allegedly addictive and unique fitness program developed and promoted by actor and karate gold-medalist Billy Blanks. Tae Bo borrows from boxing, dance, and tae kwon do (a martial art that resembles karate). According to an infomercial WWOR (UPN) broadcast on February 28, 1999, practicing Tae Bo "infuses" one with "explosive energy" and changes one's life forever. Thereon, Blanks said that God had given him the opportunity to develop the method.
