This is a great workout series! I highly recommend it if you want to feel the fat fall off your body. It can be done with and without the "Billy Bands." I just wanted to comment that you can find the Boot Camp series on the QVC website instead of the Billy Blanks websites. It is a much better deal too! You get the original four DVD's - basic training, ultimate, cardio-live, ab and then they throw in the lower body work out. It comes with the bands and the 4 week program! Also, if that weren't enough they offer it for a cheaper price and their shipping is a TON cheaper! Enjoy!

First off, don't listen to Al Ray. The girl in the video he is talking about is a legendary US female martial artist Shellie Blanks, Billy's daughter. She is an instructor on both BootCamp and TaeBo. Basically, everywhere Billy is, she is. Anyway, Shellie does not scream and shout like Al Ray describes. Billy in the tapes instructs to scream it out to keep pushing yourself in the first place. As for the product it is the greatest home fitness system on the planet, bar none. This is the best way to strength train and lose body fat at the same time. A lot of problems people run into is that if they want to build muscle, they lift, but don't do much cardio because they get so sore. People who do more cardio don't want to lift because they get too sore and don't do their cardio. This is the best middle ground I have ever embraced. These workouts are action packed and garunteed to get you results. In weeks you will see the fat start to melt away and muscle beginning to develop. The workouts don't drain the life out of you like running or lifting might. Everytime I finish a workout, I feel energized. These workouts are tough and require mental fortitude in order to get through each of them strong. Billy and his team are very encouraging and have created a great supportive community for all of those who decide to engage in BootCamp or TaeBo. Both will get you results, but I reccommend BootCamp because it has finally given me the stomach I have always wanted by crunching out the fat that was there and building solid defined muscle. Basic science is that the more muscle you have, the more fat/calories you burn. Billy has been an instructor for over 20 years and only wants an opportunity to change your life. Give Billy that opportunity.

I purchased the videos on the billy blanks website. They are not for beginners, but it is possible to start out with them if the "Billy Bands" aren't used. These are the videos I was waiting for when I purchased the Taebo Power series last year. In other words, I was hoping that The Taebo Power videos would be challenging, but they were not. The Taebo Boot camp videos build strength, cardio vascular, toning of the arms and legs as well as a great ab workout. If you can use the "Billy Bands", more power to you. I chose to use the Power Balls that came with the Taebo Power series. They work the same way without being too stressful on the joints in the shoulders.

The Infomercial I saw regarding this product says that you will see results in 7 days. This is true if you stick to a sensible diet and work out on a regular basis. Billy's motivations in the videos are short and to the point. "Fight for your Life". What else does the man have to say.

I just received the tae bo boot camp series today and couldn't wait to start it! I did the basic training and it was awesome! I have been doing tae bo for a while but this really put my arms to the test. I can't wait to try the rest of the DVDs. I ordered mine directly through the Billy Blanks website and it is available now. I don't know why it says 2010. It came with 4 dvds and a 7 day supply of energy supplements. It also comes with 'billy bands' which you use throughout the workout to maximize results. I would take it easy if you are a beginner.

I purchased the 3 disc set along with a new tae bo cardio dvd and it is HARD!!! (but in a good way of course!) the resistance bands really help to shape your muscles and after having 3 kids I never thought I could look fit again until I did these exercises. 3 times a week for a month and I was already seeing results... A much better workout than the 'Firm' tapes and my expensive Elliptical machine I am now seeing my old abs again!! My arms are also shapely and no longer thick trunks and I lost 15 lbs. so far. He does a great job motivating you to contine and their counts make it easy for you to keep up with the rest of them. This is an extremely good workout even better than the tae bo cardio dvd I purchased (too easy) and I recommend it to anyone who wants actual results fast.

I have tried everything from walking miles, running miles, eliptical, treadmill, Leslie Sansone and nothing has worked like this workout. I am 45 and was in fair shape, and it is definately hard in the beginning, but what a sense of accomplishment when I can do more and more every day! I have been doing the 55 minute workout for about 2 1/2 months, every other day, and have increased muscle, stamina, and lost only 7 pounds, but that will come with time. My stomach is flatter, I am stronger, and I still can't do all of the reps with the bands, but that's what makes it fun! Remember, it's a process, and you'll be thrilled with the results if you work at it.

this is a great workout and its already been released. I do not know if it is a typo that it says 2010 or what but its a great package and very advanced workout. The band are a little hard on the shoulder joints though. I have to take breaks myself or else ouch! Other than that its a very challenging workout. Try it!

Sweating up a storm, cussing, bargaining... all things that happen again and again when i do this video. Am I stuck on basic training without the bands? Yes. I am. Do I shiver a little when I think about adding the bands or moving on to the Abs video? Of course I do. Does the very thought of attempting the Ultimate bootcamp video make me a little faint? It sure does. BUT, in three weeks just watching what i eat and doing the Basic Training I have lost over 10 lbs and i am back in my size 5 jeans. Just as a side note while at first I was glad that he had "normal" looking, yet strangely muscular women (which kind of makes me a little wary of the results of doing this for too long)as his back up entourage, now that i do it every other day I find myself a little sad that I don't have some hotter people to look at. Also, while Blanks crazy motivational rants were at first... well... motivating, I now try to turn down the sound because it's just another thing that marks the crazy, slow passage of time while I am stuck in the middle of yet another severe-burning-in-some-part-of-my-body excercise. It works though, do it from start to finish and you will see results like crazy even without the bands, I'm thinking do it with the bands and you might end up looking like the female studs in the video.

I have been a taebo fan since the begining, and I have to say that this is a great workout, everyone keeps asking what do I do to look so great and I tell them taebo and they laugh, they think I am joking. The bands really work my arms were so flabby before I wasn't able to wear short sleeve shirts, now I can and my arms look so toned. I can't wait till he comes out with a new workout, I have all of the Taebo workouts and I alternate between all of them some are harder than others but I always get a great workout no matter wich one I do. I owe my new figure to Billy and his 7 day success plan. Thanks Billy and Shellie, I will be waiting for your next new workout.
