4.0 out of 5 stars Great Place to Start!, February 10, 2005

This review is from: Tae Bo: Original - Instructional & Basic (DVD)

I remember when the Tae-Bo craze came out but I never did buy the tapes. I figured it would be like every other exercise gizmo or fad that I would use for about 2 weeks and then give up and it would become another dust collector in my house. Recently, I quit smoking and have been putting on the weight. I decided it was time to get in shape. This DVD was my first purchase and I love it. The only reason I gave it only four stars is because I wish it had more cardio on it. The instructional video is actually longer than the workout but essential in learning the moves. The workout is about 26 minutes with about 15 minutes of actual heart pounding aerobics. I bought another workout video and it was so confusing I could hardly keep up. I have to admit Billy Blanks is a great motivator and I enjoy his workouts. As a matter of fact, I just ordered another workout of his and plan to buy his new Fat Blasting series in March.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Original, October 7, 2005

This review is from: Tae Bo: Original - Instructional & Basic (DVD)

About 6 years ago I was lucky enough to try this same exercise (Instrctional & Original) on VHS. Just recently I have been looking everywhere for this particular DVD and can only find his newer ones. I bought a few and didnt really like them. To many moves and steps. I just wanted a DVD that was basic and gave me a good workout without me having to follow a whole buch of choreography. I LUV THE BASIC! In order for any of Billy Blanks DVDs to work for you, you have to get your whole body involved not just turning your legs and flipping your arms.

GOOD LUCK!!

3.0 out of 5 stars OK for beginners, September 26, 2005

This review is from: Tae Bo: Original - Instructional & Basic (DVD)

This tae bo instruction is perfect for beginners, who have never done that before. It is divided in two parts: The work out routine is fun but I would have preferred if there was at least another routine. It gets boring after you repeated the same routine several times. Well I guess the idea is to sell more work out videos... Anyway after a while you want to move on to a more advanced work out. The instructional part explains the basics and especially the moves used in the routine in a way easy to understand. I recommend purchasing this DVD although you better get a couple of more advanced or different tae bo routines as well.
