Two things to remember, though:

1. Tae Bo will not make you look "ripped" unless you are combining the program with weight training, which will give you muscles to ripple. Nothing is a complete exercise program without upper-body resistance work.

2. Don't do these things more than three times a week, and take a couple of days off to rest! Billy advises people about this in his book, and it's really worth repeating. This is too intense a workout to do on a daily basis. You'll end up hurting yourself by not giving your legs, abs and rear enough time to rest and regenerate. Just like with working your arms with weights, you CAN'T work your abs every single day. And believe me: Tae Bo II is the most intense ab work you're likely to find. I put it on par with the best Pilates instruction, as long as you do it correctly.


Best Taebo advanced tape!   October 25, 2002

I bought the original Taebo tapes and used them for about 2 years off and on. The advanced tape had been my favorite because it was an hour long, but I had wished it had more cardio and was more intense. When I saw the "Get ripped" series of tapes I bought the advanced set and popped them in, was I in for a ride!

These tapes are tough! Dont underestimate the power of Taebo! Even if you have been doing the original advanced tape these WILL make you sweat! I was practically in tears by the end the first time I did these tapes. They keep you constantly moving for an hour and push you to the limit. The second tape has about 8 minutes of floor work similar to that in the original advanced tape.

Ive had these tapes for 9 months and do them about twice a week and they still provide an excellent workout. However the tears in my eyes are gone now!

The only problem I have with these tapes are with the speed of some of the excersizes. Some of the segments with side kicks just goes way to quickly to get good form. I like that this tape is more intense and fast paced, but I have a hard time feeling that Im really getting the movements down. I have scoliosis and when I had been doing these tapes 4 times a week it really aggravated my back. Now I either do the segments that I know bother me slower or some days I just fast forward the 3 minutes.

Other than that these are awesome tapes and you will not get bored with them in your collection.


Great workout...but the tapes seem very similar...   May 18, 2002

I did the first workout tape 1 and enjoyed the tape immensely, and I began looking forward to using the 2nd tape the following day. When I popped the tape in, I began working out, but the moves and steps seemed very familiar. So I thought, I must've grabbed the wrong one, but Billy Blank's was wearing a different outfit. So I went along with it, and there was some variation but mostly the same moves--albeit no floorwork to speak of in the Workout 2. I was kinda disappointed that they were SO similar. Don't get me wrong--the workout it great. I purchased the tape because so many people really spoke highly about it, but I didn't find the workout as "hard" as others as touted. It was tough, but what Billy Blank's advanced workout isn't? The tapes, on the other hand, were FUN FUN FUN! I truly enjoyed every minute of the workout as it seemed to go faster than the "Live" Videos.

I will repeat to beginner/intermediate users, this tape is definitely advanced. The balance segments are particularly difficult if you've never done Tae Bo before, or are just starting to workout.

All in all a great workout--I plan on separating the tapes though and using them 4-5 days apart from one another so I don 't feel like I just DID the workout.
