Taebo

I do not forget when the TaeBo workouts original came out and they soon became a household name in a short period. If you are a beginner starting out on one of these videos then you are surely going to feel the burn because Billy Blank puts on a masterful challenging workout. The Great thing with regards to Billy Blanks videos is that he starts out with such an inspirational message at the beginning you just feel that he wants to support you. I was watching an infomercial not so long ago and purchased a set of TaeBo workout videos. The original one is full of instruction an explains in detail the major moves that Billy performs in all of his DVD’s. Every exercise starts out at a slow pace then the speed increments so you will be in sync with Billy and the people around him once the workout starts. You will learn all of the cool downs and warm ups that are mutual to all of his workouts. This is an necessary workout if you are to move to the other TaeBo workouts.

The next workout is less than thirty minutes and it is very basic. I love the fact that Billy Banks continually gives inspirational messages allround the video which tend to get your mind off of how hard you are working. Before I knew it I was covered with sweat. There is something on there called strobe lighting, which was very interesting to workout with but genuinely rather fun.

If you are not intimate with high intense aerobics then the progressed workout is going to be a challenge for you. This workout starts fast at the very beginning and lasts for closely an hour. The initial time you workout to this one, unless you are a severe athletic buff, you will be sore the next day. Believe it or not, with all the energy that Billy and his crew exhibit and gets you involved in, it is genuinely fun. The greatest thing in regards to doing these workouts is that you start out to detect results fast. I enjoyed the fact that there are humans of dissimilar ages, heights, and body types all working out hard.

The reviews I read regarding on this product were for the most part positive from videofitness.com and all talked regarding how they in truth achieved a great workout and how they sweated profusely. There was one review that said that Billy does not finish the same number of reps per side, and when I employed the DVD the next time I noticed that too. Overall I think this is a very outstanding product and I would unquestionably commend this to any individual who wants a powerful workout that is fun and inspirational.

One of the best TaeBo sets yet!
By M. Key
This set of TaeBo tapes is intended for people who are already familiar with TaeBo! If you are new to TaeBo I definitely recommend you start with one of the other sets that includes a workout entitled “Instructional” or “Foundation,” the type of video on which Billy instructs you how to perform each punch, kick, combination, etc. He does an outstanding job teaching you how to perform the exercises…provided you choose the proper video. This is not it!

Excellent mix of TaeBo!
By P. Harrington
This is a great place to start a TaeBo workout. There are two Regular DVDs and one Express DVD.

Cardio: Used to get your heart moving it’s a good and fast workout.

Flex: Emphasizes holding a certain position to maximize a particular muscle group.

Flex Express: A short workout if you don’t have alot of time. It’s short, so don’t expect a fat-burner or a heart mover. It’s good for that one day that you can’t do a whole DVD workout.

All-in-all an excellent value. If you know how to do the moves properly(he does give some explanation in the set)get this set next! If not, you might want to get the basic and then these. But if you know how to do a few kicks and punches properly, get it!

Disappointing
By Michelle Cooke
I had been looking for a good cardio dvd to get me pumped up at home. I am “mid-level” in terms of fitness, not a beginner, but definitely not an athlete by a long shot! I do 30-45 minutes of cardio on a regular basis (i.e. a treadclimber workout, step aerobics class, kick-boxing class, ect.)

I chose Billy Blank because he always has great routines that are really challenging. Usually, I can’t make it through and entire tae-bo work-out without stopping once or twice, so I was expecting an intense program. When I popped in the cardio dvd, I was sooo disappointed! The work out is so incredibly easy! I barely broke a sweat, which says a lot because I’m not in the best shape.

I would recommend this dvd to someone who is at a beginners fitness level, but for anyone above that, its not worth it. I was so dissapointed with how easy the routine was that I haven’t even put in the other dvds yet because I don’t want to waste my time. Maybe the “flex” routine is better, I may never know because I was so upset! Billy Blank usually brings in the heat with his routines, but this time he barely sparked a flame!
