Summary: Um.... I like it?
Comment: Yeah, this is a pretty good work out. It makes you sweat. The 8 minute work out will make you have a heart attack if you are not careful! I liked how there were heavy people and older people along with the super in shape people. I suspect that this work out has good results. I myself have only done it three times, so I wouldn't REALLY know. But after those three times, I felt fantastic! It's worth a shot.

Summary: Billy, you saved my life!
Comment: I bought this DVD almost three years ago. These were the first two Tae Bo workouts I ever did. At that time I was fat and unhealthy and depressed. Tae Bo helped me pull myself back up. There is something about the music and the moves (and Billy!) that pulled me in so that I WANTED TO WORKOUT!!! I found myself arranging my day around my workout. Now I have become a lifelong exerciser and am addicted to kickboxing. You have to love the workout or you won't do it, and for me Tae Bo is easy to love because it is so fun.
After I had been doing these two Basic workouts for a couple of months, I started the Get Ripped Advanced (awesome workouts!!) and then later I got the Advanced Live 1-12 workouts off eBay (even more awesome!!). Now I have about 30 or so Tae Bo workouts. I cannot say enough good things about Tae Bo. It changed my life.
I see these workouts as a great starting point for someone wanting to get fit. If you have never had any martial arts instruction, consider getting the Instructional workout first so you will have good form and not hurt yourself. Otherwise, have fun!

Summary: Tae-bo "Get Ripped II" Basic Workout will get you in shape!
Comment: I bought the Tae-bo "Get Ripped II" Basic series last week, and I love it. Tae-bo "Get Ripped II" is now my primary workout program with a little yoga here and there. I found the pace a little fast in the beginning, but since then I have eventually learned the moves and can now match the pace.
I use the shorter 8-minute version as either a lighter workout (later in the day), or when I haven't got the time in the morning for the longer 20 minute workout (which is closer to 30 when you factor in the warm-up and cool-down stretches).
This is a great workout for anyone who is really, really serious about losing weight and staying in shape.
I highly recommend it!

Summary: A great workout!
Comment: This is a great workout. I initially bought thr Get Ripped Advanced workout and after I embarassed myself to no return, I decided to start with something a little easier. I am very pleased with this workout. It is not so easy that you will breeze through it. After a few workouts, I have yet to finish the tape without stopping a bunch of times. (Which Billy says is OK). The only problem that I can find is that Billy loses count a lot. He will say one more set and you sometimes actually end up doing three more sets. You can look at that as a plus though; you are going the extra mile! At the beginning of the tape there are commercials of some sort, which I fast foward through. I dont know if you can skip them on a DVD player however. Either way, I am VERY pleased with this workout and would highly recommend to beginners of all ages.

Summary: Its a great product.
Comment:
Let me be clear. I never bought these type of videos before because I always thought they were kind of dorky! But this one is actually great! I had read the previous review carefully before making a decision to purchase and two things definitely held true. 1) Do not try to skip ahead and purchase the intermediate routines if you have never done this before. Some people think just because they already have a descent exercise program going that they don't have to start out with the basic workout. If you skip, YOU WILL BE LOST!!! There are a lot of moves that you have to get use to in the first program. And you will need to get these down first because in the upcoming tapes, the moves get really difficult. And at first its hard getting use to switching routines which Billy will do on a dime. So keep your remote near you to stop the program and rewind. (That's why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.) But, as people in previous reviews have written, YOU'LL GET USE TO IT! Get this tape down packed before moving on. 2) YOU WILL SWEAT!!! Its a great workout even though it only lasts for a little over 20 minutes. For those who have a exercise program, what I do is go through the routine twice. You will love the burn. And his tape is not boring. I use it mainly as a alternate Cardio day to burn calories with my 3 weight lifting days to total and round out a solid four day workout week. It is a great buy.
