After doing TAEBO basics for about 2 months, I was really looking forward to this tape, wow, what a let-down. Billy Blanks did do a good job with the toning section of the video, my muscles felt like they really got a good workout. The aerobics portion was really bad. Tracy Yorks went too quickly, with little explanation of what was going on, and the camera angles were terrible. The video was more like learning difficult dance steps than working out.

This tape was a real disappointment to me. As a huge Billy Blanks fan I was expecting more. The filming was very poor and the tape was slow moving and boring. I only made it through it twice. The workout was okay but nothing spectacular. The aerobic segment was impossible for me to follow.

DESPITE READING THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS, I BOUGHT IT ANYWAY. THE WEIGHT PART WAS OK, BUT I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE AEROBICS PART OF THE TAPE. DANCE STEPS TOO HARD TO FOLLOW, CAMERA ANGLES BAD. BORING...TO MUCH YELLING IN BACKGROUND.

This tape was a complete waste of money. The only reason I gave it 1 star was because I couldn't give it less. The toning section chose to work selective random muscle groups which you couldn't even follow, and the aerobics was (a) low impact for experienced exercisers, despite what they say; and (b) you couldn't even follow her ridiculous 1980's dance steps.

Thank goodness I just rented this from the library and didn't waste any money on it.
The warm up was inadequate. Billy Blanks didn't actually do any of the exercises. He just stood around looking at the ladies surrounding him.
It was impossible to be in good form, especially important while lifting weights, and follow the tape. He doesn't say what is coming up next. You have to turn to see. By the time you figure it out, they are on to the next exercise.
I made it through 10 minutes before I hit stop and rewound the tape. I just couldn't take it any more.
Avoid this one!

I thought this video was a DEFINITE waste of money! The first party with Billy Blanks is a good arm workout but the second party with Tracy Yorks was absolutely TERRIBLE! Not only is she impossible to follow but the workout was NOT fun and if you expect it to be anything like Tae Bo like I myself expected you are dead wrong!! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

Very disappointing. Sickening actually, with the class doing one thing and Billy saying something else, every 6 seconds someone hoots or hollars, FOR GOD SAKE WOULD YOU JUST SHOW US THE MOVES AND SHUT UP ABOUT IT. Billy doesn't deliver much that's useful in this one. Steer clear!

Hello, everyone I really enjoyed both segments of the video. I liked Billy Blanks toning section, but I loved Tracye York. I will admit that the first couple of times I was totally lost, but once I quickly learned the steps I was treated to the ultimate aerobic workout. I recommend this video for those of you out there ready for a challenge.

I have been using the master blaster video for a month now. I do the weights only and combine with Billy's other Crunch tape and have lost 1 1/2 inches in my measurements and 8 pounds. I am pleased with it and recomend it for anyone wanting a quick and easy way to shape up.

I bought this tape because I figured that since Billy Blanks is like the Barbra Streisand of workout videos that this tape would deliver. I WAS SO WRONG! First half the time I couldn't understand his workout instructions, then when I could understand what he was saying the people in the video were doing something else.

This is a dreadful workout tape, and I would not reccomend it to anyone for toning. It's too fast to get a proper contraction, and not only that you wait for it to be over.

DON'T BUY IT! YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED!!
