Summary: Great for those with limited range of motion
Comment: I purchased this video when it first came out. I found the regular tae bo videos to be a little intense for my 59 year old body! However, the gold version is designed for the older folks and I've been using it for many years. I only wish it were available on DVD instead of VHS. I've bought it for many of my friends and purchased another copy for myself upon giving away my original. Very good for the abs, and to strengthen your flexibility. I did get a little tired of the music, so made a CD from my Credence Clearwater Best Of to match the moves and play it right along with my exercise video. It's not perfect but close enough for a musical change. It takes very little space to do the exercises, and options for those starting out that can't quite reach or stretch or kick yet. Great for the beginner. Still enough to increase the heart rate. It's still my favorite.

Summary: Billy Blanks Taebo Gold
Comment: Have bought 3 VHS tapes and they have gone bad after 2 months of use. I have tried them on 3 different VCRs. Can I get another tape at no charge or is it possible to get this on DVD?
Thank you

Comment: I love this tape, and only wish he had more variety for the over 40 crowd. I'm wearing this thing out.

Summary: Great for flexibility
Comment: I have many of Billys videos and a lot of them are a little to much for me, I am 66 years old. I love doing Tae Bo Gold before I do my strenth training on my bow flex, it limbers me up and get my blood flowing. Great way to start the day. As others have said Billy isn't too accurate on his counting so I reverse the exercises every other time to keep me balanced. My only regret is that I can't get it on dvd so I can do it on my portable dvd player while traveling. I have been doing Gold for at least two years and it helps me keep my weight down, I weigh 158 lbs and am 67" tall. I don't want to become a GOOM (grossly overweight old man).

Summary: Abandon the Eating Disorders, Try This Instead
Comment: After having my first child and being on continuous bedrest during my pregnancy I had went from 130lbs to 180lbs by the time I had delivered and my 6 weeks of recovering were over. To get myself back in shape, I purchased this workout. Mostly though, because all that "bing, bong, beep beep, bang" music they play in the background drives me nuts in the other Tae-Bo workouts and the music in this workout is more tolerable. Anywho, that's not really the point of the Gold workout or this review. After doing this workout 3-4 days a week, walking (not too far) on the days I wasn't attacking Tae-Bo and also eating one of those balanced food pyramid type of diets that aren't so popular anymore, I got back down to 140lbs in 4 months. WOO HOO! The last 10lbs came off within a few months after I had stopped working at a restaurant with grease food.
Now after having my second child I'm just starting to get back into this Tae-Bo stuff because I tried losing the weight other ways and they make me feel like crap and the weight just isn't coming off very fast. It's been 9 months since birth and I've lost 15lbs since birth via being a housewife.
If you're starting out I'd do this tape. I eventually worked up to the more advanced workouts but I didn't lose anymore and I just started looking more muscular like a man, I didn't like that too much so I stuck to the Gold and I'm doing it again. Being a muscularly person just isn't my cup of tea , if it's not yours either but you'd like to keep the weight off, you ought to try this.
