I enjoy Billy Blanks videos because he keeps me motivated and moving. This workout uses specific stretchy bands that I don't have, but still a decent workout without them. That's the only reason I gave it a 4 out of 5. If the bands weren't a requirement, it would be a 5 star workout.

I liked this DVD more than mosts because Billy Blanks and his crew really keep you motivated. I have never done Tae Bo before, but this DVD is definately beginner-friendly. Billy really goes through the moves at a pace anyone can do in the beginning and then he'll kick it up a notch for the cardio part. His whole crew behind him are counting and clapping, it's great encouragement. The only reason why it doesn't get an Excellent rating from myself is because it is kinda long for my schedule. It's about 45 minutes long and I usually do only the first 30 minutes because of my crazy schedule. Otherwise a great buy!
After spending my 20's pregnant and having produced 4 beautiful children, I have also managed to keep an additional 25 unwanted pounds. I am a stay-at-home mom, and my husband is a teacher, so the money to join a gym is just not available. To be honest, even if the money was there, with 4 kids the time to actually go to the gym is not! I decided to look on ebay for a decent workout dvd, and found this one. I love it because it is very challenging, and I have yet to actually make it through the entire workout. I dislike the fact that I am exercising!!!!!! It is a great dvd, and it was an awesome price. And my 1 yr. old just dumped out a bag of popcorn into the air vent, so I must cut this review short!
I haven't worked out to TaeBo since PE in high school in the 90's! Let me tell you that this is great for beginners! I've had a challenging workout without it being too hard. It requires the Billy bands for some of the workouts, but you'll still have a great workout without them. Billy encourages you to keep going and even though I had to rest a couple of times, I kept going. This is going to be my workout DVD for now on. :)

I have really had a fun time with this workout video. Billy Blanks is awesome and does a really good job of encouraging you not to give up. The moves are pretty easy to follow, but I felt that once you go to 'turbo speed' the moves tend to get a bit sloppy. In the end, I feel like I got a really good work out and shed a decent amount of calories.
