Four years ago I decided to start getting fit. At 200lbs (I'm 5 ft 2), I could barely work out for a few minutes. After conquering my exercise machine, I saw a Tae bo box set and decided to jump right in. A month later I had lost an inch off my waist, and was ready for more. Tae bo is basically martial arts with a hint of dance. Sometimes you do the moves in time with the music. In many of the videos each exercise is performed in sets of eight. This means that you can count how many repetitions and/or sets left before the next movement. The class is led by Billy Blanks, a successful martial arts instructor and competitor. He is always accompanied by his ...  Read the complete review

Oh My God how much do I love Tae Bo? This truly is the best way to lose weight and get fit without spending a fortune on gym memberships and diet foods. I found Tae Bo many years ago when I was still and school and it still came on a VHS tape. After the first go, I was hooked. Tae Bo was founded by Billy Blanks, who is a martial arts expert, and he takes you through a tough but fun workout that will have you sweating and fit in no time. The DVD's have different levels of workouts, so you can easily fit right into a workout without feeling like you have been thrown into the deep end. The workouts consist of rythmical punches, kicks, ...  Read the complete review

Want to get fit then taebo is the way to do it. Taebo is a martial arts form of fitness with fitness instructor Billy Blank as the instructor. These aren't the easiest of workouts but as you can see from the photo above this form of fitness burns fat and increases muscle tone so if you want a workout DVD that motivates you and is challenging then I recommend Tae bo. I've been doing tae bo for a few years now and unlike many other fitness DVDs I have bought I still enjoy getting this one out and having fun. I have the taebo 2 fitness DVD and there are three sections Beginners - 20 minutes Intermediate - 30 minutes Advanced - 40 ...  Read the complete review

Tae Bo is the latest trend of exercise classes to run through the gyms. A cross between martial art and aerobics, it's popular and lots of women seem to be really enjoying getting a bit of aggression into their workout - throwing a few punches and kicks at their imaginary manager or cheating ex. I think that's great. But, I can't help wondering why all those people who enjoy a bit of martial arts in their workout don't go a step further and find out what a martial arts club has to offer. I suppose the people racking up the blows on their invisible tormenters in the Tae Bo class consist of a mixture of hard-core gym bunnies and the ...  Read the complete review

The DVD I bought was the first basic one with an instructional at the end lasting 35 minutes and the basic workout also lasting 35 minutes. To go with this one there are matching DVD's like Volume 2 and 3, then there?s a Abs and gluteus one, a couple of advanced and one for the older generation. The DVD only cost me £11.99 compared to the RRP of £14.99 but I don know whether I can say where from but if I can let me know in the comments and I will put it there. The advantage of the DVD is that you don't have to fast forward or rewind and you can jump to the different parts of the workout. Anyway onto the content! The instructional bit is very helpful and ...  Read the complete review
