 A Real Help For All Ages January 23, 2000
60 out of 61 found this review helpful
I am almost 60 years old and never thought that this would be for me. You are never to old to learn,it is great exersize and leaves you feeling wonderful even if you can't kick as high as they do.I may buy the advanced after a few months of limbering up with the basic. I can see improvment in my flexibility after only a week. I find it a great addition to my bowflex routine and my weight watchers diet. 30 lbs off and dropping fast.
Terrific workout, but a little outdated... April 27, 2000

I must say that I love Billy Blanks and his whole program! I bought these tapes and they sat in the shrinkwrap for a year while I was pregnant and on bed rest. Two months after delivering, I pulled them out and popped them into the VCR...WOW! I have done just about every exercise video out there, Jane Fonda, Susan Powter, Reebok, you name it and I have probably tried it. Taebo is terrific, and these tapes were a good introduction to taebo. I used them for 3 weeks to help me get back into the exercise groove. However, I really feel like they do not fully represent the taebo technique. I learned a lot more about correct form when I purchased the "Live" tapes and then started doing taebo tv through my dish. I wouldn't recommend that you buy these particular tapes, but I give taebo and Billy Blanks 5 stars. I have lost 10 pounds and 4 inches since beginning in February. Billy Blanks inspires me to reach within myself and put all my spirit and focus into my workouts. Please, please, do an instructional video first before trying to do the regular workout. If you pay attention and listen to what Billy says, this will keep you from hurting yourself. I have a bad knee that precludes me from doing step aerobics or Jazzercise, but I have never had any trouble with taebo. I am sold on this workout folks!
 Absolutely fantastic November 1, 1999

I started doing Tae-Bo almost 2 months ago after not having exercised in 3 years. This exercise works!. Yes, it is difficukt at first but it gets easier. I just added the 8 minute tape to my basic workout and it kicks butt! I really just needed to tone up and I have definitley noticed the difference in my arms and legs and my stomach is getting there as well:). For people that say this tape can cause injury, if you listen, Billy Blanks tells you to go at your own pace, which means you do not have to go as fast, kick or punch as high as the people on the tape. You need to keep in mind that those people have probably been doing this for a long time and it will be a while to get to that level. However, if you keep at it I am sure that most peole will get the results that they need. Keep Tae-Boing!
 Just too difficult - unless you're a pro kickboxer March 7, 2000

I was really excited about buying this tape and did it as soon as I got home! I am in pretty good shape and have to say that this tape is way too hard for the average person. The people are kicking way too high (we ARE supposed to follow them) and the rhythm is so fast that it's easy to pull a muscle or lose your balance. I suppose I burned calories because my heart felt like it was beating out of my chest. I think it's a pretty dangerous tape that gives far-too-little instruction for a far-too-advanced activity.
Workout is Incomplete December 2, 1999

I kept hearing rave reviews of this video, so I bought it. I was extremely dissappointed. First of all, it is supposed to be "Basic". If that was "Basic", then I really would hate to see what is considered "Advanced". It wasn't that the moves were too hard, but it was higher intensity than other "Basic" tapes I have followed. Secondly, the workout was incomplete. The tape seemed to end abruptly with almost no cool down or and no stretching.
