Summary: Inspiring!
Review: I borrowed a friend's copy of the instructional and basic Tae-bo tapes to see if it was something I'd like since I work a little later and have a hard time making it to my local aerobic class. I have been working with the tapes for about two weeks and I'm in love with the workout. Not only is it fast, it's fun and really, really is a stress-buster (I work in a high stress technical environment). As for injuries, it is like any sport if not done properly. I had arthroscopic surgery at the beginning of December. After working with the tapes, my knee feels 100% better (of course, I did physical therapy first) and gets a solid workout. The key is NOT TO HYPER-EXTEND any limb -- which can happen in most aerobic type sports if not careful! I can hardly wait to keep going with the basic and work towards the advanced -- ship it to me overnight, Amazon!

Summary: A dangerious craze!
Review: Billy Blanks' fitness garbage will cripple you. Ask any Thai kickboxer... they can't even stand after years of this sort of stuff.Ask your doctor, too.

Summary: Very very good
Review: I love Tae Bo, I got it two weeks ago and I've done it every day since, I've even started doing it twice a day. I really liked the idea of getting it on DVD and not on VHS, even though it's a bit more expensive, because DVDs don't wear out. So instead of having to buy another copy every few months (if you do it every day), you buy one copy, so in the end you pay less. And regarding the woman who hurt herself, that would be because she wasn't listening to Billy Blanks when he said not to overextend your punches and kicks.

Summary: Loose weight in places you very thought you could
Review: I am a teenager and I just wanted to loose some weight. I wanted something fun, so I bought this video. Within a week I could see and feel the results. I feel like I can do anything now. The great thing is, you do not have to look at that instrustional tape anymore, once you learn it. Billy makes you feel like you can finish the workouts, and beleave me, they are hard. It is great after a bad day, to come home and kick and punch yourway into shape. If you do take 27 minutes out of a day I promises you results. I even got my mom doing tae-bo, so people of all ages can do it!

Summary: Best Home Workout Ever
Review: If you're serious about getting in shape at home -- this is the tape for you! I am a female over 40 that WAS over-weight and out of shape. I started watching my eating, and doing the instructional Tae Bo tape. I followed the instructions carefully, and gradually worked up to the next tape, then the next. In just 5 months I've lost 40 pounds and 2-3 dress sizes! If you do exactly as Billy says, you get a great workout, firm up body parts, and gain energy. And, IF you follow his instructions, there is no chance of getting injured - he emphasizes no locking joints, and taking it at your own pace! Best workout I've ever had!

Summary: Finally!
Review: I haven't felt this good since I was a teenager! After my marriage, like most people, I put on some serious weight! Fifty-five pounds to be exact. Now after having used this workout, I am on top of the world. Almost at my goal I'm sure to be a knockout for bikini season this year. No more shorts and over-sized tee shirts for me!

Summary: Don't bother with this tape!
Review: I have over 30 workout videos, and have been working out athome and at the gym for years. I had heard a lot about these videos,and wanted to give them a try. They are terrible! They must have only gotten all of the press because of the infomercial! Obviously, people who regularly workout with tapes aren't happy with this one. How could they be? It has terrible production quality. The set is depressing, like a garage. And the instructor- I expected more. He doesn't motivate me, he bores me. And the soundtrack is practically non-existent. He goes too fast in some parts, it's unsafe. I feel like I wasted my money! The fact that you get four tapes is a joke. There's only one that you'll actually use. I will admit however, that the people in his video do look like they're in great shape. His live class must be a lot better. I would recommend Kathy Smith's Kickboxing tape or the 10 minute Solution tape that has five 10 minute workouts. One of them is kickboxing, and it's a lot better than this tape. (The other 4 workouts on that tape are: pilates, boot camp, ballet, and yoga.) Save yourself some money, and don't buy this tape.

Summary: great workout!
Review: this workout is great. it works every muscle in your body and strengthens the flab on anyones arms, legs, stomach, thighs, etc...if you found "vacuuming the house" or "making your bed" a better workout, it's probably b/c you didn't push hard enough or that you are incorrectly doing the wrong moves, so to all of you out there, this tape is worth it! with 4 diff levels, you choose what's ideal to your body weight/level.

Summary: wrong choice of excersize
Review: I have a friend who is slightly overweight (and totally committed to losing it) she had bought the 4-pack video... she got the tapes tried them and dislocated her knee she went to the doctors and found out that because Tae-bo uses wrong method's of kicking and punching it is easy for anybody to pull a muscle or dislocate joints in your body also 60% of people can't kick or punch like Billy Blanks and his asssistants do I recommend that you do not buy this video because you are in risk of seriously injuring yourself.

Summary: GREAT WORKOUT VIDEO AT A GREAT PRICE!
Review: I bought the Tae-Bo tapes because I have heard great views. I decided to try it myself and I love it. It is so much fun, my friends do it together. I am also a college student on a budget so my money has to go a little further so I knew Amazon.com has great prices. I decided to buy them from here. Then I heard they have them at B.J.'s. I found out their prices and Amazon still has the best prices around for all the tapes. One of my friends even bought them in N.Y.C. on the street and I still got a better price. So, I suggest you buy them at Amazon for a great price on a great work-out.
