Summary: It's a let down!
Review: After hearing so much about Tae-Bo, I had high expectations for this DVD. Perhaps because of the build-up, I am very disappointed. I normally run or cycle 3-4 times a week and am probably at an intermediate level of fitness. I picked this DVD up for those days when I can't make it outside or to the gym. The workout fails to provide the challenging cardio I wanted. You can make it more high intensity by jogging in place, adding your own jumps, and repeating his sequences; however, it's not really worth the time or money.

Summary: got my heart pumping, but not like 1st Tae Bo did.
Review: As I sit in my computer chair, having just completed my first trial of Tae Bo Cardio, I can tell you this with absolute certaintly: The first Tae Bo series left me gasping for breath. I had to hit the pause button just to gather my strength back. (especially the 'advanced' tape) This 2003 Cardio workout: Got my heart pumping, but not like the 1st Tae Bo did by any means. There are new moves, which is nice. The music however is poor and not very energizing. It did the job, but not like I was hoping for.

I purchased this Cardio DVD to get back in shape. I would throw it in the mix of your other cardio workouts just to have variety, but by no means would I use it as a core tape for cario workout.

Summary: Good Additional to workout library
Review: Billy Blanks'energy along with challenging moves keeps me going throughout this workout. I have taken classes in gyms and this workout ranks among the top. It works the entire body and leaves you sweating at the end.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Billy Blanks took instructor lessons for this...
Review: For all you instructors, or people who like a GOOD!!! instructor, Billy Blanks has done it!! This is a WONDERFUL workout that concentrates on good form. The music, who's listening, he actually is COUNTING!! in this workout.

He still doesn't do all the workout, but the fact that he works on form, slows down so you can move correctly and not get hurt is worth it's weight in dvd's. This is one that I will do repeatedly.

His other videos are good for a workout, but it's better to know the correct way to do the moves before trying to do the older workouts. This one, you can walk in cold and still get a good workout without pain.

Summary: TaeBo made easier
Review: Great DVD. It gets your body going. Makes you work up a sweat and lose the pounds while working on the heart. I found it to be easier and just as effective at the previous TaeBo workout DVD's. Billy Blank's TaeBo changed my body and the way I feel.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Beginning Level Workout
Review: I am a big fan of Tae bo, but I am currently using the advanced level of tae bo. That being said - this video is not for me. It's for someone who is new to working out. It's definitely a great place to start. For instance, the new mom, someone who is a bit on the chunky side, or someone who just plain never did cardio before. If for some reason I can't do jump kicks for a while or do the double time moves in tae bo advanced I will definitely use this dvd to keep me in the fitness loop. Luckily for me if I end up in said situation I already have a great dvd on hand.

Summary: Boring
Review: I am glad I rented this from the library and didn't pay for it. After 10 minutes I kept checking the time to see when the boredom would be over with. The workout is okay, but I never felt challenged except in my ability to put up with the background exercisers counting 1-8 throughout the ENTIRE workout. I've done the original Tae Bo a few times and definitely felt more challenged and the time went very quickly when I did it. This workout also seems to "forget" to work both sides of the body evenly with less repeitions on one side or completely leaving out certain exercises when they switch to the other side. Very disappointing, rent it from your local library, don't buy it, if you want to do this workout. the one good use for this video is to teach your kids to count to eight.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: TaeDon't
Review: I bought this DVD looking forward to yet another great Billy Banks workout. This did not happen. I didn't even break a sweat. I would recommend this DVD for people who are either not familar with TaeBo or, who want to learn about TaeBo. Stick with the Get Ripped Series, much more effective workout.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Less Cardio than the Get Ripped Advanced
Review: I bought this video in hopes of adding a new Tae Bo workout to relieve boredom. I found this workout to be less intense, less "cardio" than the Advanced Get Ripped workouts and it was just as long. I wish Billy would come out with a video that is 30 minutes or so and intense, but this isn't it. Look for my copy on Ebay.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Similar to Taebo "Live" Basic
Review: I found that a lot of the moves were identical to the Taebo"Live" Basic. I actually get more of a sweat with the "Live" video; maybe because I think it's a little faster than the Cardio. There were a few new moves that were challenging, which I haven't mastered yet, but all in all I prefer the Basic over this one.
