Tae Bo Billy's BootCamp Infomercial: Basic |
  Not for me |
| I got this set as a birthday gift and decided to give it a try based on the reviews I read here...the workout itself is okay but not particularly strenuous(I consider myself to be intermediate/advanced). The real problem is all the yelling. The cast is constantly shouting "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight..." while Billy yells "count it, count it, count it" OVER and OVER. It was so annoying there is no way I could do this workout on a regular basis or even ever again. I returned it and got Barry's Bootcamp which I really like. - posted by Melissa on 8/23/2009 |

| Back for more |
| I'm back for more of this. I gave mine away a few months ago, because I got depressed with my weight gain due to hypothyroid. Boy was that a mistake. I miss these videos so much, and didn't appreciate the results it gave me. I have most of Billy's other workouts now, and they just don't compare. Just ordered this again, and can't wait for it to come. - posted by Ray on 6/25/2007 |

| Billy Bands |
| I really liked these videos, except for the fact that I wear a size 10 extra wide shoe and my son wears a size 12 extra wide, and the bands are not wide enough at the bottom to fit either one of us. - posted by Mary B. on 3/12/2007 |

| Ultimate Workout video |
| The Ultimate workout video literally kicks my butt. I have been in the gym and workout but had taken a break from using his tapes. I decided to do the Ultimate video two days ago and I still can't walk up steps after two days. My butt literally hurts. Great leg and butt buster. - posted by Robin on 2/22/2007 |

| Not great |
| okay. here is what i have to say about billy. if you've seen one you've seen them all. yes they work you but, i get so darn distracted by his horrible cueing. i mean there are times when one side is not done. i also hate how he constantly stops to talk to the camera. the music is blah, elevator music, and i just can't ever find myself finishing this one not because it's hard but because i get so darn bored and annoyed. not worth the money. - posted by on 2/21/2007 |

| Simple Warnings |
| This should not really be called a "basic" workout. I love Billy and am glad to finally see him do some warm-ups before jumping right in. However, this is suppose to be progressive and talks a lot about it being easy at first. It's not. I have never seen any of Billy's workouts (and I have a lot) that are easy in the slightest. So if you are up for a challenge then go for it. I like the bands especially with kicking. Keeps you straighter. But my only complaint is that he does not show any modifications except without the belt for people with knee problems. I have exercised for years but after knee surgery that took me almost a year to recover from as far as exercising, I will never in my life do a jumping jack or anything high impact. Come on Billy, have mercy and do some modifying. - posted by Trish on 12/12/2006 |

| Bootcamp is Awesome!!! |
| I have heard about Billy Blanks for a long time but never did the workouts...until now. I am now a big fan of this. I have been struggling to lose weight due to changes in my metabolism so I wanted to boost my cardio. THIS WORKS. I am still in Basic Training (one of the DVDs in this series) but it is awesome. Jumping jacks, duck-walk, standing & floor abs, along with all those great kick combos & jabs. I really didn't think I could ever keep up but after 4 times, I'm now kicking higher & actually doing the combos right along w/the group. Working my way up to the Ultimate Bootcamp workout starting next week! It's a great stress release. I found myself chanting & yelling right along with the group. I rotate Bootcamp w/other intermediate workouts. By watching what I eat & doing these workouts twice a week (working up to 3x), I've lost 5 lbs & 2 inches across the front of my stomach in 2 wks. Victory! I'm sold! Go For It!! - posted by SRS - Milwaukee WI on 7/21/2006 |

| Great workout |
| I have just started using Taebo. I have been exercising all my life . However, I have just gotten back on the wagon due to a difficult pregnancy where I gained some 30 lbs. Taebo is really motivating me and I'm getting back into shape fast. Thank you Billy. - posted by Simone Murray on 3/17/2006 |

| AWESOME WORKOUT-FROM A NEWBY |
| I just started working out again recently and this series of Bootcamp was AMAZING!!! i don't think people who are new to exercising should be deterred. It's a challenge to be able to do more and more with Billy everytime you pop in the video. The bands are crazy hard too.. I started noticing muscle in my arms after 3 weeks... I love these videos!! - posted by LISA on 2/26/2006 |
