Editorial Reviews: When Billy Blanks called this workout Advanced, he wasn't fooling around. This 57-minute workout will have your heart racing, your pulse pounding, and your sweat glands working overtime. The familiar moves from Tae-Bo Instructional and Basic are here, but Blanks has put a little razzmatazz on them, adding slightly more complicated combinations that should be fairly easy to master if you've completed the first two tapes. The new moves--which combine Tae-Bo's patented mix of boxing punches and martial arts kicks--make this video much more exciting, but they also considerably raise the bar on the difficulty factor. In addition to the short warm-up, the cool down, and the 30 minutes of Tae-Bo, Advanced Tae-Bo also includes 18 minutes of muscle-crunching floor work. You know you're in trouble when even the guys in the tape have trouble keeping up. As Blanks says, your "butt should be on fire," and if you need to, "go ahead and scream a little." But, as always, Blanks is a supportive coach, reminding you to go at your own pace (stop for water if necessary), yet encouraging you to push yourself as much as you can. The music is still cheesy, and some of the camera work somewhat confusing (the overhead angle makes the body positioning in the floor work hard to follow). However, this is a terrific workout when you're ready to take Tae-Bo to the next level; just make sure you have truly mastered the first two tapes before attempting Advanced. A 20-minute sneak preview of Tae-Bo Live is included with this video. --Jenny Brown
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Forget the gym! Use this instead Comment: Seriously. I just canceled my gym membership. I orginally bought these tapes back when the first came out. Someone was selling the vcd on ebay so I bought it. I forgot how fun and intense this work out is! I have 3 "newer" Tae-Bo dvds, but NOTHING beats the original. People must have complained about the intensity of the advanced tape. Maybe possible injuries because they didn't use proper form? After my first workout, I was literally sweating from head to toe. This is a great all over workout! I was also happy to make it through the whole tape only stopping once. 10 years ago, i couldn't make it through the whole thing. Anyway, I've only been doing this workout for a week. I will update on my progress. Btw, If you're looking for a quick workout I also recommend Jilliam Michaels Shred. Or just do 30minutes of this tape w/a cool down. Customer Rating: Summary: HARD WORK!! Comment: This is a good exercise but it is not an easy thing by any means. Plan to work hard!! Customer Rating: Summary: Billy's The Best! Comment: This is actually my 2nd purchase of this video. I wore out the first one. This is an excellent workout and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to get in shape, or stay in shape. Customer Rating: Summary: TaeBo will kick you into shape Comment: Ridiculous video that will make you sweat. Nothing from Billy Blanks beats this first edition. Every other video has long stretching sessions, while this one gets right to the point (stretch on your own before and after the full workout). Sure, Billy forgets to do equal number of reps every now and again, but do it 5 times and you'll memorize where you need to keep going and when to stop to equal out your workout. Sweat will be dripping... not for the faint of heart.

This seller was quick to rectify the situation. More Reviews
