Advantages: great for general fitness

Disadvantages: can be a bit Americanised and be prepared to sweat buckets when you first do this tape!

I have done many different exercise vidoes over the years and Billy Blanks' Tae Bo is by miles the best one. It is great for me as I am not terribly well coordinated and have dreadful problems following some of the complicated routines that can be found on othe aerobics tapes. I have also found other tapes boring after a few weeks as usually the first part of the work out is learning the sections and then you put them together into the full routine. Tae Bo is different! YAY! It is a series of different punches and kicks interspersed with a few dance movements. Each move is repeated in sections of 8 and then you move onto a new move so there is not time to get bored with the movements. It is great for general fitness and for toning, especially arms, back and shoulders. As it is the most calorie burning workout tape available if you combine it with a sensible diet it can also help you lose weight! I have actually found this workout quite addictive and for once I feel bad if I miss a day. At first the whole Americaness of the tape had me falling around laughing and I have to say I still giggle at some of the other people in the video but after a while you just get used to it. I would thoroughly recomend this workout tape to anyone who fancies having a go at some martial arts based fitness programme but has no place nearby that offers classes.
