Summary: Talking about Circuits
Comment: Basically, the 2 circuit DVD's are well structured and pleasant workouts, not too easy and not too tough. Consider Circuit 1 as a basic DVD, Circuit 2 as an advanced DVD - the main difference is that it lasts longer and is set at a higher pace. Definitely good value for money, and together with the original advanced and the Tae Bo 2 Get Ripped Advanced my favourite Tae Bo workouts.

Summary: BE CAREFUL with these workouts!!! Review on Cardio Circuit 1
Comment: I think Billy Blank is an EXCELLENT Marketer... so, please don't think I am against what he is trying to promote - which is fitness.... a positive thing! However, if I were to give my professional opinion (Certified Master Fitness Instructor - been in the fitness field for over 25 years and have taught boxing for the last 8 years), I would say... just be careful with all of the Tae Bo tapes. Make sure to keep your knees "soft" at all times...slighting bent and with a pivot when kicking... and knees never go past your feet! In the beginning of these Tae Bo tapes, a lot of doctors saw injuries to the hips and knees - (hubby is a doctor).
As for rating this particular workout - THE COUNTING OF THE GIRLS BEHIND HIM DRIVES ME CRAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZY! After the first 8 mins of viewing it, I had to turn the dang thing off! First of all: YOU WOULD NEVER step into a fitness class and have someone (or a bunch of the students) count AT EVERY, SINGLE BEAT - starting at 1 - 8!!!! (Instructors normally count backwards..leaving out the number "1")
Most good Instructors would know the cueing of the music to make the changes of the moves without a bunch of students repeating 1 through 8 throughout the ENTIRE workout! He should NOT have had them with a mic and kept the counting where HE would only hear it and not let the one who is viewing it hear it!
I could not continue with this workout for the main reason of the repeated counting and the horrible music.... Since his first set of Tao Bo tapes, he is much more cautious and gives the viewer safety pointers... which is a major plus for Billy Blank!
Bottom Line: If you can blank out the REPEATED.... REPEATED...REPEATED....counting and you know how to properly executed the moves, it is a decent workout .

Summary: Disappointment
Comment: These two workouts were a great disappointment. Having enjoyed the workouts of the original Tae bo tapes I was looking for a updated version but found with the Circuit workouts I barely broke a sweat, was bored and wanted my money back.

Summary: Excellent Fast Paced Workouts!
Comment: I have been doing the Tae Bo workouts by Billy Blanks for the last couple years now and love them. The newest DVD's - Tae Bo Circuit 1 & 2 are similar to the original Advanced Tae Bo tape in that they are very fast paced but easy to follow and enjoyable. The workouts are quick paced and are not boring like sitting on an excersise bike. I highly recommend these to someone looking for an advanced cardio workout with strength training and toning that doesn't have a lot of time to workout, average DVD is about 40 minutes.
