Tae Bo Live! (DVD, 2000)

This dvd has four sections ... instructional, basic, advanced and 8-minute workouts. I've only gotten through the instructional, Basic Workout and 8-minute workout at this time, and they are excellent. Even the basic workout (30 minutes) is very intense and challenging. These may be difficult workouts for beginners and do involve tae kwon do moves, both punches and kicks. Beginners may want to follow along and do "every other move" to start with or not give the moves full intensity when starting out.

There is not a lot of warm up and cool down time built in to the program, so you may need to do a little before and after the main program. It is very high energy and fun. I really look forward to these workouts and have been happy with weight loss and stamina results.

I bought the TAE BO Live DVD thinking it was the DVD Version of the original VHS Tae Bo Tape; it was not. However, I do enjoy the DVD. It is not as intense as the VHS though. I would love to have the VHS version on DVD. Anyway, I am pleased with my purchase and as always Billy Blanks has it going on!

I had bought Tae Bo Live on VHS several years ago after watching an info-mercial. After the VCR ate the beginner tape, I put it up because advanced is no place for a beginner. After beginning a new diet and wanting to exercise again I decided to try and find Tae Bo Live on DVD. It is a great fun work out and helps you to lose weight, build muscle, and could even help you learn some moves that might help in a self defense situation. It is great. If you are serious about getting fit and having fun doing it without the price of a gym membership, Tae Bo Live is it.

This is a great workout. I have other Tae Bo VHS's and they are all good. You can easily follow along and it it loads of fun. Now slap in the DVD and bring the pain.
