VHS : Tae-Bo Workout (4 Pack: Basic, Instructional, Advanced, 8-minute Workout)In association with Amazon.comRating:  - Awesome Kick Butt WorkoutI get stuck in a rut of routine workouts where I find myself not obtaining results for as much as I work out. I thought I would try kickboxing (something different) and had heard that this particular Tae Bo series (the orignal) of workouts was hard and challenging but great results for those that stick with it. I am addicted. These workouts are very easy to follow (basic counting; no fluff) but makes you work up a sweat and gets your heart rate up. I have noticed just doing the basic 27 minute workout three times a week for two weeks that my stomach is a lot more toned as well as my legs are starting to show definition. I am ready to graduate and try the advanced workout and mix it up. Rating: - The best workout ever!I bought this first set of tae-bo when it just came out in 2000, one of my friends who was practicing martial arts recommended it. I was fairely active and athletic, but after my first pregnancy it was so hard to get back in shape. I was struggling for a few years, trying walking, jogging, gym, classes, everything with minor results. And then I started doing tae-bo. It was not easy, but after a month or so of doing basic I switched to advanced. My body had never looked better, I never felt better about myself! I was simply addicted to this workout! I never received so many compliments in my entire life! I should say, at about the same time I started doing yoga 2-3 times a week. It was a great work out balance. All that happened almost 7 years ago. Now, every time, when I need to shed a few pounds, I know where to go to, not to the gym, but to my bookshelf, where I keep a good collection of Tae-Bo tapes. They never let me down, never! And it's true, you can see results after 2-3 workouts only. Whether you want to lose weight or get your body toned and muscles more defined, this one is the best workout! Rating: - Tae Bo WorkoutsI have to say how wonderful, motivational and challenging tae bo workouts are. In 2 months I've lost 32 pounds, I do tae bo 6 times per week for about 3 months now. I must share the toning results. I've never thought there were actually muscles under the fat in my body after losing 32 pounds. I can see a huge diference on the way I feel, my energy, I feel more confident. I know if I keep doing tae bo I can get to my goal. If you're determined to lose weight and want to make the effort then tae bo is for you. I'm kind of addicted to it I have to admit it. But I enjoy doing it and seing the results. Billy also is a great motivation his words of wisdom and his team behind him makes it a fun workout. Rating: - AWESOME!I love tae-bo! Billy Blanks is awesome and Tae-bo is fun and easy to use. This dvd is great because it has the different workouts so you can choose what level of difficulty you want. The 8 minute workout is also nice because it's quick enough to do if you only have a few minutes, but effective enough to get your heart pumping and let you feel like you've actually worked out, even if it's only for 8 minutes! I think anyone can do taebo-whether you are super-fit or out of shape. And if you can't quite do all of the moves in the workouts, Billy will show you ways to make them easier. Give Tae-bo a chance! I bet you'll like it! Rating: - Gets RESULTS! Offers everything it promises!I bought this set back in 1999, reluctantly. I had never found a good exercise video and was getting the four pack hoping that at least ONE would be good. Well, it's 2006 and I am still doing Tae Bo. I have expanded my collection of videos (and DVDs now) but I still love the originals! Billy is an extremely motivational instructor, and you really feel the vibe of the people in the videos. It pushes you to reach out and grab that little something extra, and when you do and you reach the goal, WOW, it feels AMAZING! I can't afford costly gym memberships with two babies at home, nor can I find the time to go. Tae Bo gives me what a gym membership NEVER could! No weights required, no equipment to use, no worrying about other people watching you workout, haha. Within weeks, my body was toning up and shaping up in ways I never imagined. I love my Tae Bo body! Right after having my first and second babies, I got right back into Tae Bo at 5 weeks after their births and had my abs back in no time at all! These workouts are not for someone just looking for a mild aerobic benefit. Tae Bo is for people seeking an exciting workout that WILL keep you motivated. Billy talks you through the whole thing, it's like he's right there on your shoulder coaching you along, and it is so motivating! Try it and you will be hooked. Not a program for the meek, but not too much to handle either. It is fabulous, wonderful, I just can't say enough! Hey, it's kept my interest for SEVEN YEARS! If you're willing to work hard and sweat, if you enjoy incorporating martial arts into an upbeat full-body workout that targets *every* spot you worry about, you have found your pot of gold here! You want that bathing suit? Tae Bo will get ya ready for it! |
