A great workout! 
2008-08-20
This is a great workout for those who have done Billy's other workout and need a little change. I did this workout for the first time, just came from the bootcamp workouts, and this is fantastic! Others complained about the counting issue, BUT I did not have the same exerience. Being an althlete myself and in my mid forties, I saw no problems!
Great Workout 
2008-08-16
This DVD is a fun, fast paced, and effective. I am definitely someone who has a tendency to become bored during a fitness DVD, but this workout was entertaining. The only "heads up" to this DVD is that you need to be well coordinated and have rhythm. Billy Blanks has meshed together his classic Tae Bo moves into a 45 minute dance session. You will feel yourself ripping your abs, sculpting your limbs, and sweating all over! I recommend this DVD to people who are familiar with the Tae Bo moves, and are ready to bring them all together in a fun way.
A great workout for me! 2008-08-10
This workout to me, is one of Billy's best because it takes high impact to the next level. The workout is very fast paced and includes multiple combinations. The first time that I used it, it was slightly difficult to catch on to the quick combinations. But overall it was a great workout and a great challenge. I love it!!! It gets the job done and ads a little motivation!
Eh. So-So.

I'm probably going to take this one back or sell it elsewhere. I stopped it about 16 minutes in. It seems to jump all over the place...there's no continuity or sequence to the exercises. I also didn't like the lack of symmetry; he didn't do the same exercise on both sides. That's just a personal thing, though.
I fell in love with Basic Taebo, and this is such a departure. It's too dancy, too many complicated moves and steps that I just couldn't get.
LOVE THIS DVD 2008-07-02
A great intermediate workout. The Music and Billy Blanks are very energizing. Definately recommend! All I can say is just do it, but make sure you have quality shoes with excellent support.

Pros: I don't know what it is about workout DVDs, but I usually enjoy doing them, especially if it involves hip hop dancing or some form of boxing (kick boxing, arm boxing), so Taebo is a good mix of both. Some of the moves are kinda funky, and by the time I was done, you would've thought somebody threw a bucket of water on my back. I was surprised because I'm not a sweater, but I think I worked every single muscle I have while doing this DVD. I got it on clearance for $8, so I definitely feel like I got my money's worth.
I like how he got in front of the camera for distance moves. When he put his hands in the air, I knew exactly how wide to kick apart or punch. The counting helped when it was on beat too, and I didn't mind that at all.
Cons: I have never done a workout DVD with combinations where the second move started on 4. You usually hear 1-2-3-4-then the next step-1-2-3-4, but on this one, there were too many times when the moves were all off count. Then there were times when you worked out on one side slow and then fast, but on the other side, you worked out fast or not at all. Some of the people in the video class seemed like regulars and said they got the moves immediately, but then I watched a few workout members mess up. What's worse is that Billy Blanks actually messes THEM up on a couple of occasions because he tries to blend in with a move that they've already started. The video editor definitely either didn't know how to edit these parts out or said, "Screw it. Leave it like it is."
And the idea of being scared of someone never crosses my mind, but these Amazon reviewers who are saying this video was too slow terrify me. This video was incredibly fast. There were some slow parts where he wanted to talk, but for a few parts, it was too fast to even get the move down. (I have pretty good coordination and usually pick up moves fast.) But then sporadically, he'd do a move slowly, and then go faster. That's what I'm used to seeing--when someone does a technique slow enough for all to catch on, and then pick up the pace. But he kept working out in fast forward, and then suddenly deciding to do the next move slow to teach people. It was just awkward, and the moves I couldn't catch on to, I jogged or danced in place. I saw absolutely no reason to do moves with my back to the television and confuse myself further.
Final result: I'd do this again! Maybe only once a week because the workout is so sporadic--like he made it up while the camera was rolling--but it was also so fast that I didn't realize 41 minutes had passed. Personally, I think 40+ minutes of a workout is long. I'm used to half hour workouts at most, but considering this workout was on Speed, I was too busy trying to keep up to pay attention to a clock counter.
Okay, but... 2008-05-22
I found this DVD way too easy. It's great for the morning, when I feel a little lazy or I am running late, but I really don't feel very sore afterwards. I prefer the advanced workouts- I can manage the advanced DVD without too much trouble, and I am not in great shape. I think I am going to give it to my mom, who has never done Tae Bo before. It's a good place to start.
The music seems to have improved also (but only slightly)- in the older videos, it was some weird drum machine stuff. I'm sure it is pricey to buy the rights to songs, but come on now- this guy has an empire, surely he could do better?
On the brighter side, he is such a lovable goof- he motivates you and makes you laugh sometimes because he can be a bit cheesy and over the top. But I am trying to purchase more workouts, so he must be doing something right.
Good workout but............. 2008-05-18
The workout was great!!! I was sore after. There were a few muscles that have not worked in a while & this dvd found them. Some of the moves are a little fast but you can modify it & still get a good workout. I give it a three due to his daughter getting on my last nerve & the music is so low I don't know what is playing.
Billy Rocks! 2008-05-01
I have been doing TaeBo for years and have many favorties, and many that I only did once and said - not for me. THIS one is surely a keeper. While it may not be traditional TaeBo style, it is very faced paced from the get go, and combines Taebo moves with calestenics for a GREAT work out!
I love the fact that unlike other Billy Blanks work outs, the repetitions are shorter and there is much more variety. You never get bored and it goes by VERY quickly! I was sort of disappointed it was over!
