Summary: Incredible work out videos
Review: I purchase this workout video to increase my flexiblity and to my surprise within 3 weeks my flexibilty has improved. It is fun to use and I use it more than my treadmill. My entire family work out using the tapes. Very good product and I highly recommend it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Workout For Anyone
Review: I recently bought this DVD hoping to find a good cardio workout that was both entertaining and that I could do at home, and this is just the thing. The Tae Bo basic workout is enough to make anyone sweat, plus there are two workouts and an 8 minute one to choose from. I've done kickboxing classes in the past so I started out with this video instead of an instructional video. It's fairly easy to follow, even for beginners. I recommend this DVD to anyone looking to try tae bo.

Summary: Happy and Sad
Review: I recently purchased a buy 2 and get one free at the local Wal-Mart store. To get the third 8 minute tape you have to mail in the card that come with the set of tapes. I did everything that I was suppose to do to receive my free tape and it has not arrive yet. The instructions said to allow 3-4 weeks for delivery, but the deadline has come and gone.
I bought Taebo when it first came out. I was very happy with that set, but unfortunately they was damaged by my grandson. So I went to get me a new set of tapes, but the set is incomplete without the third tape.
Please send me the 8 minute workout video. I would appreciate it very much. I apologize for using this site to complain about a missing video. I like the tapes, I believe that anyone who use Taebo will get the results they are looking for. My address is: Barry B. Brown

Summary: Easier than the regular Tae-bo Basic
Review: I started doing tae-bo more than a year ago, and then stopped after half a year. Started again recently and decided to order new tapes so I would not get bored easily.I was slightly disappointed with this 2-pack "Get Ripped", because one of the tapes is mostly just a "on-the-floor" work out, and I wanted more cardio, and the other tape is fine, but it is easier for me than the one I already have (Tae Bo Basic), I only use this new tape on the days when I am too tired for the workout in general, but want to pretend that I am doing "something". However in general, Tae-Bo really works for me, fast results!

Summary: Great for People on the Move!
Review: I'm female and a constant traveller because of my work and find it difficult to fit in exercise while living in hotels and eating all the wrong foods when I'm on the road. As a result my fitness suffered and I put on a lot of weight. I looked for a way that I could exercise without the difficulty of trying to find a safe area in strange cities when travelling alone, often overseas. I purchased this DVD as a trial to see if it would give me good aerobic exercise within the confines of my hotel room and be fun at the same time. It was great! I do the exercise in the privacy, safety and comfort of my hotel room first thing in the mornings before my meetings. I feel great energy when I go to my meetings and I don't seem to get as stiff as I used to get after sitting all day. Besides, I have the option of another half hour session at night before going to bed. The exercises are fun, physically challenging and it's almost like being in a real exercise class with real people around me when I do it. The TaeBo DVD and my lap top are the first things I pack when travelling now. My fitness has started to pick up and I'm working on losing thast weight. What I haven't mentioned so far is that I'm Australian and that only TaeBo VHS tapes are on sale here, so thank goodness for Amazon.com! I've now found the perfect solution to my exercise dilema.

Summary: Depends on your level
Review: If you've been curious about trying Taebo, but worried that it might be too difficult for you, even at the "basic" level, this is the DVD for you. Most of the quirks found in previous volumes (odd counting, too many reps on one side, not enough on the other) have been corrected in this version, and the pace - while still brisk and sweat-inducing - is great for a beginner. All you need is a place to work out and a big glass of water - you don't need to buy any props, mats, or weights.

I started Taebo with the 4-volume "Live" version (with the instructional, basic, advanced, and 8-minute workouts). The basic on the "Live" DVD was TOUGH to begin with, but now I'm accustomed to it. I was hoping that the "Get Ripped" basic would be equally tough and help break the monotony of doing the same workout everyday, but it's not quite on the same level.

If you're a Taebo enthusiast who doesn't feel ready for the Advanced level yet, you might be disappointed with the "Get Ripped" basic. These are two terrific workouts, but they feel more like a sub-basic routines. (Perfect for absolute beginners who want to give Taebo a shot for the first time - which I highly recommend.) I've lost 23 pounds with a healthy diet and Taebo, and I love how all of the punching and kicking make me feel strong and tough. I'll hang onto the "Get Ripped" basic b/c I like having more than one workout to choose from, but I think I have to do them with the 8-minute workout to get the same drenched-in-sweat, almost-out-of-breath effect that I get from "Live" basic.

Summary: Fuerte!!!
Review: Si necesitas bajar de peso y tonificar a la vez este es el DVD que necesitas. Tiene dos secciones de alrededor de 25 minutos y una de 8 minutos por si no tienes mucho tiempo. Es un ejercicio bastante fuerte, por lo cual a los que estamos un poco sobrepeso se nos puede hacer un poco dificil al principio, pero despues te diviertes muchisimo. No le di una puntuacion de 5 solo por que la segunda parte me parece un poco monotona. Pero por lo demás es excelente. EXITO!!!

Summary: Brilliant!
Review: Tae Bo is great! Take your time and enjoy your workouts. Read online Tae Bo discussion groups for support.

Just give Tae Bo a try. It is a great workout and if you approach Tae Bo with the correct mind, you will do great!

In particular, these two tapes are two of my favorites (I have about 20 Tae Bo tapes). The basic with the red cover is great because it has floor work which will get you ready for the floor work in advanced tapes. The workout with the purple cover has always been perhaps my favorite Tae Bo workout. It is just a great all-around workout and not too tough if you are feeling tired.

These two tapes would be a good starting point for a Tae Bo collection and I believe one could alternate between these two tapes for quite some time without getting bored. If you have never done Tae Bo before, you should consider an instructional tape too so that you can learn the moves. Because you want to make sure you are doing the moves as correct as possible for safety and for your own physical results benefit.

Finally, enjoy how Tae Bo makes you feel. Don't enter with great expectations, just enjoy your workouts and see what happens. Stick with it!
