Tae-Bo Workout
 | Average Customer Rating: Recommend Billed as the "future of fitness" and hawked by numerous celebrities, Billy Blanks's Tae-Bo actually deserves much of the hype it's receiving. A mixture of boxing punches and martial arts kicks, Tae-Bo is fun and easy. One of the best elements of this four-tape set is that the first tape (which is 40 minutes long), Tae-Bo: Instructional, lays out the movements you need to successfully complete a workout. Once you've mastered the steps, you… Product details and pricing info |

- Not for a true beginner
- after reading the reviews here, I decide to purchase these tapes, thinking that they would be what I needed to help get me back in shape. Now I am a true beginner, I have not for years been on any kind of exercise routine, nor do I exercise everyday. I found the insrtucional tape hard to follow, and I could not keep up with the beginner tape, so I would say that these tapes are not for a true beginner, but for someone who exercises already everyday and is just looking for something new.

- A good workout, at least for beginners
- I am a pretty lazy exerciser--I will get into it for a few weeks and then get bored and give it up. With this 4pack of Taebo DVDs, I have been able to stick with it. It is a pretty good deal to get all four of them in one. The first one is pretty boring, with instructions on how to do each move. If you have every done a Billy Blanks video before, you probably know 95% of the moves already anyway. I am still working my way through the Basic video, which gets me working up a pretty good sweat. It would be nice, though, if it was a little longer. With the warm-up and cool-down, it is probably 30 minutes long. But the 4pack also includes a more high energy 8 minute workout, which I have been trying to do in addition to the Basic so I feel like I have exercised enough. I briefly scanned the Advanced workout and am pretty sure that I am NOT ready for it yet. But hopefully I will get there soon.
So I can say that the Basic workout is great for beginners, and the 8 minute workout is a good addition to it. But beware--the music is awful. - 2004-08-26, 9 of 9 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- They could have picked better music!!!
- I love TaeBo, but it's a little difficult to get pumped up to elevator hiphop! Please! Overall, the workout is awesome. I saw results in 2 weeks, and it makes me feel strong, sexy, and empowered (I just picture kicking and punching my ex-husband in the face when I need that extra boost! LOL). This is worth the money. Maybe when you get the moves down, you could crank up some real music to kick-butt to!

- Not bad...but...
- There are some good points about the video. It accomodates most fitness levels, starting off with beginners and working up to advanced. You do sweat and get a good heart rate going. It's not a bad video, but, I would rather go to the kickboxing classes at the local gym. I find it more challenging and the teaching methods are much better. I would caution for those who have weak knees.
