Tae Bo Extreme |
  Pretty boring but picked up at the end |
| I was pretty disappointed with this workout. I was really looking forward to a "new" Tae-bo. The warm-up was too slow and the music was awful. The aerobics section was the same Tae-bo moves but much slower. The step section was even slower and boring. I didn't use a step but I'm not sure it would have made too much of a difference. I was sweating, but I think it was the hot room, not because my heart rate was up. The toning section was what saved this workout. I used 5 pound weights which I think was a good weight for the speed of the movements. The ending seemed thrown together to fill up time. Billy has the same upbeat and motivating personality as always and sings through most of the toning section, which made it easier to get through. Overall, I think this workout could have been much better with a good aerobics section. If you want a real "extreme" Tae-bo, try Advanced Get Ripped II or Tae bo Ultimate. - posted by Kate on 4/26/2009 |

| YUCK! |
| I thought I would at least sweat a bunch, which I did not. I guess if you are a huge Billy fan, which I am not, you may be able to stomach this one. It is like watching Billy on 10 cups of coffee. He loses count often, does one side and forgets the other, and has zero originality with the steps. He made the basic step up step down seem like , whoa, slow down and practice everyone! Then, he threw in some punches with it and called it Tae Bo. - posted by Nadine on 3/22/2009 |

| Love it! |
| This was actually the first Tae Bo video I ever purchased - and I immediately ordered three others after doing this one! Billy Blanks may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I found his personality rather addictive, and the workout to be very intense yet fun. I highly recommend this dvd if you're looking to be a sweaty mess! - posted by N on 11/27/2008 |

| Not for me... |
| I remember doing Billy Blank's Tae Bo in high school when it first came out. I remember it being fun and challanging. I no longer have those tapes, so I tried this one. I found incredibly boring! It was not nearly as challenging as Jari Love or Jillian Michaels. Near the end, sweaty Shelly jumps on top of sweaty Billy for some disgusting push-ups. - posted by Pam on 11/15/2008 |

| ***** Loved it! |
| I am a fitness instructor, but I don't teach kickboxing classes. I read a few comments before purchasing the video and decided to try it. I wanted a tough Billy Blanks kickboxing work-out. It was a tough work-out and more, but very very easy to follow. I loved it and really got a good sweat. I am also surprised this isn't a "Staff Favorite". - posted by Diana on 6/4/2008 |

| Overall great workout |
| I LOVED this workout and I always feel so good after doing Billy's workouts! They energize me, make feel upbeat and positive, and yet I can feel that my muscles have been toned and defined. I loved the toning section and liked doing lighter weight (I used 3 lbs.) with higher reps for a change. I did sweat through the cardio portion and had a lot of fun doing it. Overall terrific DVD. - posted by Shelley on 4/29/2008 |

| Fun Taebo Workout! |
| This workout received some bad reviews, but I decided to try it just because I love most Taebo workouts. I actually found this to be a very good workout. I used an 8-10 inch step and 5lb dumbells. Also, during the break parts (walk in place), I continued to go up and down on the step (fast) for a little more cardio. - posted by N.S. on 2/5/2008 |

| Billy...You Go, Boy! |
| Bought this one fairly recently and just love it. I agree that I'm surprised it's not a Staff Favorite. I've done the workout several times and have put everything I have into it, including doing most of the weight work with increased weights (3 to 5 lb.) Wow! You definitely get out of this one what you put in. Billy does a better than usual job with cuing, etc. on this one and his enthusiasm is fun and contagious! - posted by E on 6/19/2007 |
