Fitness trends come and go. You might find fitness fanatics cycling one day, yoga another day, and Pilates the next. One trend that was created back in 1975 and is still going strong-Tae Bo.
Creator of Tae Bo, Billy Blanks visited Franklin this week to give the students at Team Tae Bo Fitness in Franklin a class from the creator and master trainer himself.
While Blanks created Tae Bo in 1975, the popularity of the workout skyrocketed in the 90’s when the Tae Bo videos were released. Since the release of his videos, they have sold over 500 million copies worldwide.
We asked Blanks what brought him to Franklin. “I came to Franklin to visit my daughter, Shellie, who owns Team Tae Bo Fitness. Really, I just want to help explain health and wellness to her students. Health is getting to the gym to be stronger. Wellness is learning how your mind and body connect. When I walk into Team Tae Bo, I can feel the love, it hits you in the face when you walk in. That is not something you will experience at all places,” said Blanks.
Blanks taught a group class as well as individual training session. When asked about what clients can expect from a training class, he told us,”it’s all about giving you the skills to workout yourself so that you don’t need me. I want them to not be dependent on me for their workout and have the confidence to do their own workout.”
Blanks says he starts every class with a motivation statement to the class- I Look and Act Like My Mind and Will. Â He explained it by saying, your body will follow through with what you tell it to do, you just have to believe in yourself.
