great intermediate workout,
This review is from: Tae Bo Cardio - DVD (DVD)
Tae Bo Cardio is probably the best Tae Bo workout DVD I've done thus far - and having done the classic, live, and get ripped series, that's saying something.What makes this Tae Bo DVD such a great buy is the greater attention to proper warm-up and cool-down, including ramping up the exercises gradually, instead of throwing you immediately into high-intensity moves that could cause injury or strain. There's also more of a focus on even movements, more attention paid to proper form, and of course, Billy Blanks's motivational speaking to keep you focused on the workout. It is true that the music is somewhat repetitive (it's a simple hiphop track), but it's simple to fix by turning down the volume and playing your own music. The other benefit of this particular soundtrack is a certain consistency lacking with the other Tae Bo videos. Billy Blanks, unfortunately, still has trouble making calls for the television audience, so you have to reverse the cues if you want to mirror the workout on screen. Also, if you're looking for an extremely intense workout, you won't find it here, unless you're a beginner (in which case, it will be intense). This 40-minute workout is great for a beginner or intermediate exerciser. For the beginner, it will provide a challenging yet balanced cardio workout. For the intermediate level, it will provide a solid workout that will leave you sweating, but not winded. For advanced exercisers, you might want to skip it, but I'd still recommend it as a great, easy workout for you. If you're intermediate-advanced and you want a really good kickboxing-based workout, try the <i>Elite Forces</i> DVDs. The bottom line with this DVD is, you'll get out of it what you put into it. If you put in a lot of energy and movement, flexing your muscles and really putting your heart and focus into it, you will really sweat and have a great time. Like any other workout video, if you just go through the motions, you'll only get a certain amount out of it, and will likely be bored with the soundtrack and annoyed by other less-than-perfect elements (like the directionally-challenged cues).

Fun Workout,
This review is from: Tae Bo Cardio - DVD (DVD)
I see that this DVD has mixed reviews... but I really don't see anything wrong with it. Yes, it is not the most difficult workout you can buy, but it is sufficient and will make you sweat. I like how Billy Blanks has lots of energy and always reminds you to hold in your abs and keeps them tight (I am always trying to get more definition in my stomach). I enjoy kicking and punching and would consider this a pretty good workout. I like this DVD and would recommend it to all levels (to increase intensity just make your kicks higher and your punches harder).

Great to combine with Taebo Flex,
By Teresa Slack "Fiction Author" (http://www.teresaslack.com) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tae Bo Cardio - DVD (DVD)
I started out with Taebo Flex and bought this one a few weeks later. I disagree with all those who say it isn't for someone who has ever worked out before. I am not chunky or a couch potato, yet I get a great workout from these DVD's. I've worked out for years and I jog regularly, but it wasn't until a few weeks ago that someone asked me what kind of low-carb diet I was on. No low-carbs for me. Just Taebo. I love the routines, I love the results. Billy Blanks is not perfect, nor is he so annoyingly chipper like many female instructors, I just want to smack that smug little look off his face. The background music is not so jarring that you can't concentrate on what's being said. I would recommend this workout to anyone who wants to have fun and see results in a relatively short amount of time.
