Summary: Not for the old and out-of-shape
Review: I was 38 and out of shape when I bought this video package, and now--I'm still 38 and out of shape. I got about half way through the first video (the introduction tape) before becoming so discouraged that I gave up. This is a tough workout and seems like it would be great for people who are already in shape, but want to get to a higher level of fitness. Definitely not for the faint-hearted.

Summary: EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED
Review: As a bear just emerging from hibernation, I found Tae-Bo to be exactly what I needed to get myself energized and in shape for the coming spring and summer. Billy's motivation got me going and the music kept me there. While the moves may be a little too much for some, just do what you can and you'll get there (I did!). Tae-Bo got my blood moving and also helped me to tighten up a few muscles that were beginning to get a little slack over the long winter months. If you're tired of hype and tired of exercise vidoes that just make empty promises, you need Tae-Bo. Tae-Bo is a workout that really delivers and I can't recommend this four-pack highly enough.

Summary: Tae Bo
Review: I do not have the 4 pack of Tae Bo, but I do have Tae Bo instructional & Tae Bo Basics. I must admit that Tae Bo is slamming & is an enjoyable work-out. Now I have never used the words enjoyable & work-out in the same sentence, so that should tell you how much I like these tapes! Thank you Billy!

Summary: ONLY ONE WORD FOR IT--GREAT
Review: After using the basic Tae-Bo tape, I purchased the four pack and am I glad I did. Tae-Bo even manages to give me an aerobic workout and I participate in high altitude climbing, ultra marathon biking and lots of skiing. Billy Banks is a master instructor anyone can feel comfortable with. The moves, drawn from Martial Arts are impressive and the pace gives the body a workout it will come to love. Beginners should watch the instructional video more than once and practice the moves more slowly so they will then be comfortable during the more advanced tapes and workouts. The body was MEANT to MOVE! I think Banks knows this and we'd all be better off if we'd follow his lead. As to those who say these tapes are just a money making scheme, I have to ask--have you ever seen an exercise video that wasn't? The difference is--Tae-Bo delivers and that makes it worth the cost at any price! Can't recommend them highly enough!

Summary: A Great Way To Smite Your Enemies
Review: Not long ago, there was this dude down the street from me who used to sneak up behind me and jam a broomstick into the small of my back. It really hurt and I was helpless to defend myself. Then another guy who has a really weird sister showed me the way of Tae-Bo and it changed my life forever. Now when someone comes at me with a broomstick I just Tae-Bo their sorry behind into next week. I get a great workout and fight injustice at the same time. Soon the world will be mine.

Summary: Great workout
Review: I enjoy these workouts and it is great that he has given you 4 tapes where you can pick your intensity and also how long you want to do it for (e.g 8 minutes, 1/2 hour or an hour).But I must admit I would rather still go to my gym and do boxfit with a class reallife (not allowed to call it Taebo in New Zealand). I use Billys tapes for when I basically cannot bother to leave the house especially in the weekends or if I want to do a workout before work. Billys Music: My boxfit class has music that I love, our instructor plays 80s music which you really can get into. It is personal choice I guess, I do not personally find Billys music gets me going at all (I could not even tell what the music is!). I also dislike it when he goes double time and the video does strange speed up thingee. I am not a slow person, but I cannot keep up with that sequence. 10/10 for Billys motivation. I would love to go to his reallife classes. Though one thing that makes me smile, is the fact that he uses the word 'baby' a lot in his motivation - don't know if my boyfriend appreciates that!

Summary: A great all-over body workout
Review: Billy Banks has long been recognised as an expert in the martial arts, so it comes as no surprise that his teaching in these videos is exellent. Starting of with the basic exercises including stretching and warming up the workouts built up the intensity until you get to the advanced tape. This format works because it is adaptable for those of low fitness, as well as the more advanced trainer. These tapes come with a high recommendation as many people might not have access to a martial arts club. The only negative aspect of these videos is that they don't concentrate on the spiritual aspect of the martial arts. However it is likely that having completed the tapes, the trainer will want to progress to active martial arts training. The tapes are also good because they are fun to participate in, thus there is unlikely to be much boredom when the person works out. The presentation is fair and with Banks one can be assured of a quality teacher.

Summary: TaeBo Works It!
Review: I saw the infomercials and I was impressed. But after I read Amazon's customer reviews, I was unsure. But, figuring that I had nothing to lose, I went ahead and bought the 4-pack of tapes. After watching the instructional tape with my husband, a martial arts expert, I was impressed. My husband really liked Billy's adaptation of martial arts and boxing: He thought Billy's moves were great. I popped in the basic tape yesterday and this morning, my body is sore. It was one of the best workouts I've had in a long time. TaeBo is great. I recommend it for anybody wanting a total body workout. I don't think the basic tape is quite basic; it's more intermediate but you do what you can and listen to your body. TaeBo is something I'd like to do for the rest of my life. I think it developes good hand-eye-coordination, muscle tone and aerobic training.

Summary: All Thumbs Up!
Review: Amazing! I got started the day the DVD came in the mail. I loved it! One mistake I am going to tell you about that I made is this. WATCH THE INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO MORE THAN ONCE! I cant stress how you should watch the instructional video. watch it once and do ti with billy. Then Watch it and simply do nothing but watch the video and learn the stanses n such. Then your on your way to the most fun workout around!

Summary: Let's get the new tapes
Review: I've found Tae-Bo the best workout in years. The results are amazing. The stress and heart chart is perfect (tested with a heart monitor). I' m forty and feel in great shape doing the basic 3 times a week. I've even managed to put it in my computer laptop drive and can do it when I travel. Let's try and get the new tapes with the new music (needed) as fast as possible on Amazon (they are out I am told).
