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 |

- Yes, It Really Works
- I have had to work to control my weight since puberty. I have been working out since I was 16 yrs. old and of all the things I have tried, I have never gotten into shape as fast as I did with Tae-Bo. About a month and a half after I began the workout, people were asking me what I was doing. I was so pleased with the results! And not only do you lose weight quick, but you feel so much better! Strong and energized. I thought what I payed was pretty inexpensive after seeing what it did for me.

- The BEST one out there!
- I've been doing Tae-Bo for four years now! I lost 40 pounds in about 4-5 months! Of course I had to eat better than I was. I got so focused into the workout that I didn't realize that I was working out. It was pretty fun- for a work out video. The best thing is that it's challenging. That's probably why I'm still doing it today. When I reached the point when I could do the advanced with out trouble or even a water break, I felt like I could do anything I put my mind to. The wieght loss crept up on me because I didn't weigh my self all the time. For 2 months I never weighed my self, because I was having fun. I got on the scale about the thrid month in and I realized I lost 20 pounds. In the past few years I've bought other workout videos, I used them maybe for a month- on top of the Tae-Bo, but I kept going back to just my Tae-Bo video. I have some advice- start Tae-Bo with the mind set of just shaping up and having fun. Take it slow, and get used to the moves. It took me about a month to really get good. Tae-Bo is the best thing I'm doing for myself.

- The fat "melted" off!
- When I first saw Billy Blanks infomercial on TV, I thought, "Yeah, another bag of wind." But the more I watched him, the more I realized he really was interested in helping people. He spoke so passionately about his beliefs and had me feeling I really could conquer my weight problem. So, I bought the set and have no regrets at all. I encourage everyone just starting to master the Instructional one first. I jumped to the Advanced one right away and found myself immediately going to the Instructional one in order to do the moves right. My tapes are rather worn out and I am going to purchase the DVD. You will not regret following his routines -- I started at 204 and lost 15 pounds without dieting (I HATE to diet!) -- just used his routines. I actually felt that he was talking to me during the workout and I found myself extending further than I thought I ever would. Thanks Billy!

- kick butt action!
- This is an intense workout that will really get your heat pumping and your spirit lifted. It has a way of targeting your abs. and legs. Billy uses intense movements which get your cardio up and then slows it back down with toning movements. This really burns the fat without comprimising your muscles. All in all these two advanced workouts on one dvd are well worth it!

- Terrific All-Around Workout
- I first purchased this set of Tae-Bo tapes during the middle of my junior year in college. While I have been an avid runner and cross training fan for many years, I have never been able to tone up as fast with any other exercise routine. Within 1 month of bringing Tae-Bo into my normal workout line-up (30 minutes of cardio warm-up prior to either the advanced or basic tapes 4 times a week), I dropped inches around my hips and gained noticable definition in my arms and stomach while still eating as I normally do. Now I use it year-round to help me prepare for the outdoor running season.
The trick to getting all you can out of each workout is to concentrate on doing the moves properly and at your own pace until you can work through all the reps of each routine. I promise it too will leave you huffing and puffing no matter what your fitness level.
Sure the music is a little cheesy and the count is slightly off, but it's been 4 years since I've started using the Tae-Bo system and I have not felt unchallenged yet. I can't wait to try Tae-Bo 2004!
