great resistance and core workout! 
2007-12-26
First of all, for the price this is a great buy! At the billy blank's website you would pay thirty bucks for the set of three dvds plus fifteen for the bands, so this is a steel!
The bands are pretty amazing and offer a great challenge. i like that they are now adjustable (although i'll admit i was initially perplexed as to how to adjust them). I'm about 5'4 and without adjusting the bands length they just don't present enough of a challenge. They are initially somewhat awkward and strained my wrists with certain exercises, but it's gotten better as I have been paying more attention to how the people in the videos position their hands, once you get a feel for it they are more comfortable.
I consider myself to be a pretty physically fit person, and this workout (particularly the mission two video) was quite a challenge. Although I lift weights three times a week, this was a new type of resistance to my muscles that really presented a challange! I had to yell to push through a lot of the sets...
I still feel, however, that this video should be paired with cardio for a maxed out fitness routine. It kept my heart pumping but was not hard-core cardio, I personally will probably use it as a replacement for weight training.
I have not used the ab dvd yet, but I have high hopes. The Tae Bo system does an overall good job of hitting your core--if you do it right and pay attention to your abs, as billy will kindly drill into your brain throughout every one of his videos =) Speaking of Billy Blanks, the man knows stuff, and I think they do a really nice job with the videos; the filming, the 'casting,' his ability to pump people up. I have some workout videos where the filming is of seemingly random body parts, making it difficult to comprehend what the total body movement should look like, but all of the tae bo tapes are filmed so that you can see what the group looks like and how individual people are performing an exercise, and billy points out the do's and dont's really well.
So overall, I think this is a great system for strength and toning and will be very challenging as long as you up the resistance and stick with it for the whole video. It's worth the money! I probably wouldn't recommend it for beginners, although you always have the option of working your way up to using the resistance bands, in which case, more power to ya! :)
Bands 2007-11-04
I bought this because of the "bands", they are sure an alternative to "weights" and seem to be just as effective. I just purchased the set and 1)first part of the first CD gets the blood going to your muscles and 2) the second part of the first CD uses the bands. It is a tough workout and I haven't even looked at the second and third CD which should even be tougher. It looked like a training CD for men but there is a group in the background which is mostly female so it raises my hopes that after a while I too will be able to stretch those bands like they do.
