This review is from: Bill Blanks Taebo: T3 Total Transformation Training (DVD)

I have been using Tae Bo T3 for 90 days, and this is definitely a great workout. Advanced users may not like it, it is more like the earlier Tae Bo videos in it's execution. Some of the differences between this and earlier Tae Bo workouts is the addition of a 1lb hand weight, and the focus on staying in your core for certain moves. Both of these changes really ramp up the workout. The only negative I have about the set is the first DVD, Ignition, is just a long "how to" video which explains all of the moves in detail for 40 minutes, followed by a 15 minute workout. This is fine except that this routine is cool to do a couple of times, but it is then incorporated into the schedule, which was unnecessary. The other drawback is that every DVD starts with a 10 minute recap of all of the moves before you get into the workout, after a while I found myself just fast forwarding through this to get to the workout. All in all though this is an excellent set and a great addition to my Tae bo collection.I will definitely be working out with these DVD as part of my daily routine and would highly recommend these to anyone looking for a good solid workout.

3.0 out of 5 stars FIVE STARS Better than I originally thought, March 1, 2009

This review is from: Bill Blanks Taebo: T3 Total Transformation Training (DVD)

MY ORIGINAL RATING FOR THESE WORKOUTS WAS ONLY A 3, BUT I WOULD NOW LIKE TO CHANGE IT TO A FIVE.
I have many TaeBo videos and I love the fact that they start off with a warmup, then workout, then cool down. Billy's new videos do not do this immediately. He introduces the moves and the form on the first disk and then each of the other 3 workout disks start out with lengthy reviews of the moves and talking. At first I didn't realize you could skip through all the talking and review of the moves and go straight to the workout portion. I thought that the "Express" workout was the entire workout, but it turns out this is similar to previous TaeBo 8 minute workouts. There is a good full 35 minutes of each workout.

What I really like about these videos is the use of weights (even though they are way too big for my little hands and when you sweat even a little they get very slippery), and the fact that it is not impossible to do these workouts. Previous Billy Blank's videos have made my hips and knees pop and crunch - some of the moves I have never been able to do! These videos are more friendly for my nearing-40 joints. But there are still some moves that it is difficult to do properly when he speeds them up.

Unlike previous TaeBo videos, there is not one workout of these 3 that leaves me completely out of breath. BUT I am always sore the next day, and I think that the cardio keep my heart rate up in the target range most of the time. Even after only doing the workouts for 2 weeks, I see some changes in my deltoids, triceps, and glutes. I think that these are the best Taebo workouts yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME, October 29, 2008

Ice "The Diva" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bill Blanks Taebo: T3 Total Transformation Training (DVD)

This DVD set is the best. It is a little advance but once you get the moves right you can do their advance calendar training.
I disagree with the review that says the first DVD "Ignition" is just instructional. I still do it because it allows me to focus on the moves and the best thing about it is that even 60 minutes of going over the moves I still sweat a lot.
Also Billy adds a 10 minutes of move review at the beginning of each workout DVD this way you don't have to view the first one to understand how a move is done.
I do taebo 6 times a week with a strict nutrition plan. I've lost 72lbs in 10 monhts. Taebo was the only thing that gave me my body back after a pregnancy where I gained 50lbs.
