Summary: Truth in Advertising
Review: The four pack is misleading.. Its not 4 Dvd's, its 4 VHS tapes on a single DVD... I actually bought this as a gift and was fairly disappointed when I saw the actual package... Truth in Advertising ??? hence the single star

Summary: It's DA BOMB
Review: I have used many different work out tapes before, but they never offered me the kind of challenge OR FUN that I had been looking for. I have used Tae Bo for 2 years now. I got it at Christmas as a gift, and it has helped me lose over 25 lbs. I started with the basic 4 set above. I used the basic tape for a while, it got easy so I moved to the advance. I am now using the Live Advance series, but never ever EVER will give up my basic 4 set. I never seem to get tired of Billy like I have the other Kathy Smith, Jane Fonda ones. As you get more advanced, alternate tapes with other activities... Taebo is great when you can't "play outside" on rainy days.If you want to get strong, and you want to feel good about yourself, you definately need to try this. Don't wimp out and quit - stick with it and follow a sensible diet - the results will follow! I'm living proof! Beefcake!!! :)

Summary: Very Effective Body Toner
Review: I have been using Tae-Bo for a while. This is the most effective 'work-out' video that I have tried. The amount of energy used is enought to get me and keep me strong and toned. I could feel the effects almost immediately, that in itself was enough to keep me popping the tape(s) in on a regular basis.

Summary: VERY GOOD WORKOUT!!!
Review: These series of tapes are great! The instructional is easy to follow and Blanks shows all the steps needed for the other workouts. Each workout is quite different from each other and all are challenging enough to feel pretty sore the next day. Myself as well as my husband enjoy this workout. It is not boring at all and I find time goes by really quickly with this tape, so quickly that you feel energized enough to do another workout! In the 2 weeks I have been using this tape set, I have lost 5 pounds without really changing my diet, so it is definitely a good weight loss tool as well as a good workout.

Summary: Just another cheesy workout video
Review: I recently purchased the Tae Bo workout 4 pack. The first video is an instructional video, I watched it one time fast forwarding through many parts. I have used the 8 minute workout once. My advice is to rent the instructional video from your local blockbuster, then buy a more advanced version. I also mute the tape and listen to my own music. I dont know where they came up with the 80's synthesiser stuff.

Summary: It Works!!!!
Review: Seven weeks after I started the Advanced Tae-Bo work out, my body has changed totally ! It's a very difficult work out, but if you stick with it, it works!!! I bought two as gifts to my friends, and their bodies are changing now too. Thank you Billy!

Summary: OK..BUT
Review: I would say that I am of an intermediate level in exercising, but I did not find this set of four videos very satisfactory. I had been doing kickboxing aerobics classes at the gym, and enjoyed them very much, so I thought I would purchase the Tae Bo videos so I could work out as often as I want to. However, I found the instructional video boring, and the basic video not challenging enough. The advanced workout was fine for the cardiovascular workout, but the toning section at the end was just too much. Billy Blanks puts too many repetitions of some exercises, and does not incorporate very creative combinations. If you have not done kickboxing aerobics before, you probably won't notice, but after the gym I really noticed the repetitiveness of the video. My advice - if you have tried kick boxing at the gym before, just buy his advanced video. If you have never tried kickboxing before, then this video may be for you.

Summary: Tae-Bo (or, Tai-Boh) Rocks!
Review: I used to think that Tae-Bo (or, Tai-Boh) was for fanatics--you know, the people you see disturbing others' quiet enjoyment in your local park or playground, swaying softly to the music playing inside their obviously demented heads--but now I know better, thanks to the Tae-Bo (or, Tai-Boh) Workout. First thing I did was to figure out my "concentric plane." This seems elementary, and looks a lot like what we used to call a "jellyfish." But it is essential to balance--both physical and of a more spiritual variety. From then on, the rest was--well, I won't say "easy." But perhaps mercilessly comprehensible. Tae-Bo (or, Tai-Boh) is a thrilling and philosophically indeterminate style of fight-condition-training-type-thing that has the effect of leaning heavily on certain precepts of more familiar martial arts (such as Tae-Kwon-Do [or Tai-kawan-doh], Aikido [or ah-i-ki-doh], Karate [or karah-teh], judo [or jigorokano], and the like) while managing to dress its masters and acolytes in spandex of many lurid colors. There's some kicking and punching, but no board breaking. This video helps to spell out, for quick results, some of the techniques that Tae-Bo (or, Tai-Boh) masters traditionally have spent decade upon decade mastering. With the tape, you've got it in ten minutes--tops! I highly recommend the Tae-Bo (or, Tai-Boh) workout tape!

Summary: This is the BEST thing I've ever done!
Review: I normally hate workout videos but this one got me going and has kept me going ... encouraging, challenging, and absolutely satisfying! It's no-nonsense and guides you from the beginning baby-steps in the Instructional workout to a fantastic Basic Workout and onward. The Advanced Workout is brutal but by the time you get to that, if you can do that, you can do ANYthing! The 8-Minute Workout is brisk and great to keep you tuned up when you don't have time for a full workout. Billy Blanks is a great teacher - takes time to explain things and encourages not only your body but your mind to conquer limitations and exceed expectations.

Summary: 2 1/2 months and 23 lbs lighter!
Review: I have always been over weight and one day I made a decision that I couldn't live being fat anymore. I had seen TaeBo advertised before but I always thought that I could never do anything that intense but I decided to try the tapes anyways. It has been about 2 1/2 months and I have lost 23 lbs! I never thought that I could do anything like that or that I could lose weight but I did it. I feel so much better about myself and people notice that I have lost weight. They say I look better and ask what am I doing to lose weight and I tell them that I use the TaeBo tapes. It feels really good when someone tells you you look great and wants to know what you are doing! I did it and you can too you just have to try you can't keep saying I will do it tomorrow. DO IT TODAY! It really changes your life!
