I have four Taebo DVDs in my personal collection; this DVD completed my fitness library. While this Taebo session isn't as intense as the older Taebo videos, it still gave me a great workout. To maintain a physically fit body, a person needs a variation of intense/semi-intense workouts to progress. This DVD gave me a break from the super-charged cardio workouts, but still left me feeling as if I'd accomplished another great workout (he even has push-ups on this dvd). Even though he performs them on his knees (for beginners), you can still perform the full-body pushups if you feel the need to push yourself.

After trying the first "believers" workout, I bought this one, and I instantly loved it! You are twisting throughout the workout which made me really sore since I had not been working out very long, but it shrunk my waist! I would agree with reviews that this might not be for you if you have been working out regularly. That said, I still use it after well over a year of DAILY TaeBo because when there is too much down time for me, I just fill it in with another move, or I speed it up. That's the beauty of TaeBo and Billy Blanks- he tells you to modify as you need to. I started TaeBo after having bunion surgery and gaining 30 lbs. I never had to work out before. Now my mom does it after having spine surgery a year ago. I wish I could get my grandma to try this DVD! Billy blanks is a great trainer because he explains how to do everything safely.

I enjoy this workout dvd a lot. It is perfect for someone who is just coming back to working out and it's great for someone who has never tried working out, b/c it is so simple a child can understand it but yet it gets so intense.

I love Taebo. This workout also has a great spiritual message to go along with it. My abs are really feeling it after I finish.

I have had a lot of fun with this workout. It is usually hard for me to stay focused on a video workout because it tends to be work, but Taebo Believer's workout is not as much work as it is fun! I would recommend this tape for anyone just getting started, and even if you have been doing Taebo for awhile, it is a very good one to do on a "relaxing" day.

I like the music and the spiritual encouragement. However the workout is too slow. I don't think it is up to par with the regular Teabo.

I have the first in this series and it's great so I went for the next. It's like trying to find second gear. Little longer, little tougher but very good. I recommend it.

I try to work out every day, so the pace of this one is a little less intimidating than my regular TaeBo workouts. This is my favorite TaeBo so far! It kept me sweating, heartrate up, through most of the workout. You can maximize your results at different levels of experience by really tightening your muscles, or have a lazy day and just get through it. My only issue (and it's a pretty small one) is the religious factor. I know a lot of people love that about this dvd, but I would love to know if there's another TaeBo workout that's similar but secular. As it stands, I'm fairly willing to continue ignoring the shouts out to Jesus and skipping the ending prayer session.

First time to try Tae Bo. It was not so hard to follow, 2nd time got better. I was sweating after 10 or 15 min. It is a fun and effective exercise. I am enjoying it.

This product is an execellent one - If you want to tone and shape up this is a wonderful dvd to recommend to friends. It has easy steps to follow and one can get AND SEE great results. Thanks Billy Blanks
