One of the best TaeBo sets yet!, March 19, 2005
This review is from: BILLY BLANKS - TAEBO 3 Pack DVD (DVD)
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!
That said, this set is intended for people who already KNOW how to do TaeBo, who have been doing it for a while, who are already in pretty good shape, and want to get into even better shape. If that's what you're looking for this is outstanding! The Flex tape focuses more on toning (I'm sure my fellow TaeBo heros know what I mean - he tells you to "hold it" a LOT! Haha!) and the cardio...well, that's obvious. You just double time everything until you can't double time anymore. And again, if you do not know what I mean by phrases like "TaeBo heros" and "double time" this tape is not for you! This is a set that has to be worked up to. Oh, but once you get there it is really worth it.
I have been doing TaeBo for four years and for me, it is absolutely the best thing I have ever done as far as my physical fitness is concerned. It has really slimmed down my waist, toned my arms and legs, as well as improved my balance and posture. Energy, endurance...everything! It also helped me lose 60 pounds! It's an awesome workout. I just can't praise it enough.

Excellent mix of TaeBo!, April 5, 2004
This review is from: BILLY BLANKS - TAEBO 3 Pack DVD (DVD)
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, January 11, 2009
This review is from: BILLY BLANKS - TAEBO 3 Pack DVD (DVD)
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!
