Summary: Experienced exercisers only!
Comment: This video is very hard because it is so long. The moves are similar to the previous Tae Bo videos, so there's really nothing new there. It is just VERY long! I cannot do the entire hour & a half, so I do the first hour one day (which is a VERY good workout on its own), then the last 1/2 hour the next day.

Summary: Another Great Billy Blast
Comment: 'Ultimate' is my favorite Tae Bo workout. It features the basic moves at a killer pace up to an unusually long 90-minutes. If you dislike lengthy warm-ups and on-the-floor exercises as much as I do, you'll like this one even more (and might want to avoid the Bootcamp DVDs). 'Ultimate' is definitely not a good choice for beginners--an excellent beginner workout would be 'Tae Bo Cardio.' A mystery of Tae Bo is that you can do the same moves and the same workout a billion times and it just never gets old. This production is slicker than some, sure to please those who complain about a missed rep and other glitches that don't matter when you're working out with the great Billy Blanks at the speed of light. He advises doing Ultimate just once a week because of its intensity, but I find 'Full Throttle Amped' equally "ultimate." I love Billy's technique and unique motivational style. Everybody else makes me want to sit on the couch eating a brownie. I hope he NEVER stops kicking and screaming!

Summary: not what I expected
Comment: I am a semi-athletic 28 year old female. Taebo has been around a long time and I thought I would give it a try. I am very disappointed. Billy may have good technique but this workout is really long and poorly filmed. Billy talks at the same time as another girl repeatedly counts down 1.2.3.4... for every movement--very distracting not to mention annoying. Everything seems so disorganized and tacky. The room looks like an old cigar lounge. I have no desire to work out with it. Maybe there are other Taebo videos that are filmed better but I don't want to waste any more money to find out. Another option would be Turbo jam (I got mine for $12 by a seller here on amazon)which is similar technique but filmed much better,not annoying, and better atmosphere. Also, 30 day shred by Jillian Michaels is professional, pleasing to the eyes and ears, and is just 3 different 20 minute workouts you choose by difficulty level.

Summary: GREAT workout but you have to get creative
Comment: I am an avid tae bo fan and I have to say that this workout was awesome accept for the dance section in the middle. I did jumping jacks and ran in place...I wasn't going to waste my heart rate on gettin' down.
Only complaint
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great workout
Comment: This is a great workout. Results were seen in less than 2 weeks. Abs and leg muscles got very developed. The only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is that ultimate would indicate very high intensity but despite it being a great workout I wouldn't say its "ultimate intensity". I probably couldn't keep up if it was anyway, but someone in top shape may hope for just a little more intensity.
