 Tae-Bo Workout (4 Pack)
ASIN: 630560875X
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: Taebo will get you going!
Comments: I have been doing power yoga, jump roping, running, power walking, some martial arts (at studios) and a little weight lifting and I couldn't even get toned. I was still getting slightly depressed and I felt my motivation go down. BUT then I luckily found Taebo. Billy Blanks is this incredible motivator that really gets you going. Before I got to an advanced level I started to see stomach muscle tone and overall lean muscle tone--it's really amazing. Yes, you should spend an extra 15 min of stretching prior and after each workout, but if Billy Blanks were to have included a stretch out in the videos than it would have been boring. Yes, the music [is bad]. However, you can get over those petty concerns if you take your fitness goals seriously. Don't whine, get off your seat and just do it! I'm now doing Taebo 5X a week and cardio 1X a week--despite the fact that I have recently recieved radiation treatment for Grave's disease (and will require a life time of meds). You can transcend any emotional pain in your life by your pure determinism!

 The Best of Tae-Bo - Ultimate Abs
ASIN: B00006SFOO
Customer's Rating: 4
Summary: edited together for abs abs abs and more abs!
Comments: ok, i know it hasnt come out, but I saw a clip of it, and letting everybody know whats in store with this video.
It is about 55 minutes long, and it is a compilation of all the 'live' volumes, i think volumes 2-12.
It wasn't redone, just all the volumes edited together.
It seems to be about 25mins of kicks and some other 20 or so on toning the abs.
It has many of the old moves, but some are slightly changed, maybe makes them more advanced than the old positions. I just think they should had re-recorded these 'ultimate' series, because u can see the people's outfits change every few minutes! that is why i give it 4 stars and not the 5.

 Tae-Bo Workout - Instructional and Basic
ASIN: 6305242143
Customer's Rating: 3
Summary: Pretty Good Workout, Not For Everyone
Comments: Although I am fit, work out with weights, and regularly do an hour or more of aerobics at a stretch, I had some problems with some of the movements in these videos. If you haven't done kickboxing or anything like this before, (I haven't), it's very difficult to keep up with certain exercises without compromising your form. I got knee and back pain from trying to keep up each time I did this video, and I finally put it on the shelf and went back to other exercise videos that don't leave me with injuries. If you don't have any physical issues, however, you may enjoy this workout.

 Tae-Bo Workout - Advanced and Tae-Bo Live! Sneak Preview
ASIN: B00000J2I0
Customer's Rating: 4
Summary: Oh my aching butt!
Comments: Nowadays, I have been missing my gym appointments. Good thing I have the Taebo tape at home to perk me up. Nothing beats a sweat-pouring muscle-crunching workout after a tiresome day at work. and what's so great about this is that you get your cardio workout like in aerobics but at the same time you get to tone your muscles through all those punches and kicks.
I may sound like a paid-out person giving a testimony on a TV/mail-order product, but I instantly felt and saw results in my physique. My thighs/legs became leaner and firmer and I lost a few centimeters on my waistline. Great work out! Common, squeeze those abs!

Summary: tae bo gold
Comments: This is a great video for anyone wh wants to do kick boxing, but can't keep up with the pace. I am 35 years old and this is perfect for me. It keeps you motavated when you see the seniors on this video do the kicking. It makes you say "Hey if this old lady can do it so can I". Great video for any age.

Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: This such fun and it is grate
Comments: I heard how good this was so I wanted to try it. I love it. It is so much fun it looked fun but most exersise is not fun but Billy Blanks is so grate in his videos. Another thing I love is that billy tells you evreything and he repeats the same thing over again in case you missed it or did not understand it. I say this is a must have video for anybody even if you all ready have another exersise program.

 Tae-Bo Impact
ASIN: B000056EWJ
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: This workout is AWESOME! Much better than the 1st video!
Comments: I have been a certified aerobics instructor and into cardo-kickboxing for about 4 years. When I tried the original Tae-Bo tapes I was a little disappointed at the poor cueing, lack of proper warm up and stretching, etc., so when I got a stationary training bag and was looking for a video that incorporated a heavy bag, I found the Tae-Bo Impact tapes. I worried I might not like it (and I really hate buying tapes that never wind up being used!). This tape was really great! Billy Blanks let's someone else do the counting while he pays particular attention to safety and form, encouraging you to hit that bag! The rest of the people on the video are focused and really into it, and that makes you want to give it your all! I really enjoyed this workout and hope more varieties come out soon!

 Tae-Bo 2 - Get Ripped - Instructional / Get Started
ASIN: B00005N899
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: Instructional Videos
Comments: These videos are great for people who are very much beginners with tae bo or exercising in general. Billy Blanks explains all the moves very slowly, and they are very easy to follow. He carefully shows correct positioning for punches and kicks and gives safety tips. If you are a little intimidated about trying Tae Bo, then this is definitely the way to go; however, I don't think these tapes are necessary if you have some experience. The basic tapes give enough explanation to jump right in and those have a better workout. I went through these tapes once and haven't been back.

 Crunch - Tae Boxing, Workouts: Kickology and Tae Boxing Jam
ASIN: 6305335907
Customer's Rating: 1
Summary: Skip This
Comments: This is really a horrible workout video. I don't think Billy Blanks had ever done the routine in the tape before it was made. Most of the time he couldn't follow along with all the people behind him or he'd be telling them to do something and they'd be doing something else. I just follow them anyway. This tape includes two workouts that are both very short considering the long warm-ups and cool-downs. The same moves from Tae bo are used in this workout, but there's only time for about one repetition of each. You can get some cardio workout from this tape (if you do the whole thing at once skipping the cool down of the first and the warm up of the second, but that's annoying) however, you don't get any of the toning of the 'normal' tae bo workouts. Skip this and head straight to the other non-crunch tae bo workouts which are great.

 Tae-Bo Live
ASIN: B00004Y9PQ
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: Tae Bo is Brilliant!
Comments: Everyone should give Tae Bo a try. Approach it with confidence and determination. Read online Tae Bo discussion boards for support and success stories to keep you motivated. But when you commit to working out, do it for spirit rather than your physical hopes. As Billy says, let the rest fall into place.
This particular set is a great set for Tae Bo fans or Tae Bo beginners. Although the instructional workout can be boring, you really need to watch and work along with it before doing your first workout. It will hopefully help you complete your workouts safely and effectively. The basic workout is a great workout that beginners will find challenging. Eventually you may be able to move to the advanced tape, but take your time and build your skills, confidence, and endurance first. The 8-minute workout is not really something you should use on its own. I would suggest doing the basic workout and the 8-minute workout back-to-back as you progress between basic and advanced. Just try out various ideas to see what is best for you.
And don't get discouraged if even the basic is too tough for you to complete when you begin. Take your time and focus on completing the moves you make as cleanly as possible, work on good form.
Approach Tae Bo with the a determinded and strong mind! You will feel great!

 Crunch - Master Blaster with Bonus Workout: Fat Blaster Plus
ASIN: 6305511896
Customer's Rating: 3
Summary: Aerobics is great, weight training terrible!
Comments: Billy Blanks is terrible in this! There is barely a warm up before beginning the strength portion and then the cueing is terrible. It seems like Billy doesn't even know what move is coming up next! A lot of the moves are done with bad form and when they speed them up you could risk an injury.
The second workout on this tape is great! It's aerobics with Tracy York, I wish I could of bought this workout by itself! It is dancy, but that's what makes it fun. Her cueing is great and you can sweat it up while having fun!
