Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Advanced Tae-Bo is an advanced and very strenuous workout tape for those who have already followed the beginner's Tae-Bo course. World Martial Arts champion and occasional action movie star Billy Blanks has become (almost) a household name with his own brand of fitness video, Tae-Bo. It's a simple yet inspired idea: take martial arts and boxing moves (punching, kicking) and turn them into an aerobic dance-style workout that viewers can do in their own living room (providing you move furniture and any fragile ornaments out of range first). No equipment, no dieting, no frills required: just enough space for some shadow-boxing and kicking. The testimony of Tae-Bo converts confirm that it's a high-energy, calorie-burning routine guaranteed to work those muscles and sweat away the flab. --Mark Walker

5.0 out of 5 stars got my sweat glands going!, 9 Feb 2002

By A Customer

I thought I would have a go at this one as I found the two workouts in one too short and not enough leg work.I was pleasantly surprised how good this advanced one was. I enjoy fitness so I like a challenge and this video was just that.Ok I haven't mastered it as well as the people in the video but I'm getting there! Watch the knees as there is a lot of kicks and knee lifts and you have to watch the technique.You don't need a huge amount of space.Billy gives encouragement all the way through and you do feel you are there with him, or maybe it's just me being sad! Anyway I would recommend this to anyone who is quite fit and enjoys a bit of a challenge. I wouldn't go back to the old aerobic/dance type celeb videos. Give me Billy Blanks any day!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Brilliant!, 24 Jun 2002

By	cath grey (UK) - See all my reviews

This is not a video for the faint of heart, or for Tae-Bo newbies. It's strenuous, there's not a delineated warm-up section, and the workout is all action.

Billy is as motivational as ever, but I find his sidekick Shelly to be even more so. She sweats and grunts through the fifty-and-change minute workout just like you do.

The extended session on kicks is really hard work, but ultimately rewarding. Not only do you work your thighs and hips with these, but also your lower abs. And just when you think you've gotten to the end (after the balance/coordination exercise), Billy takes you into the absolute agony of the squats. The squats are tough, but really energising!

I've had absolutely phenomenal results from this tape and recommend the Tae-Bo series to anyone who loves fun, fast-paced workouts. However, as with any workout, even if you're a seasoned Tae-Bo expert, watch it first, so your first workout is smoother.

4.0 out of 5 stars This sorts out the men from the boys!, 3 April 2001

By	Neil Currams "monster2405" (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have been following the basic Tae-bo videos on average 4 times a week now for 3 months, and I considered myself to be more than ready to progress to the Advanced Tae-bo workout video. That was a dangerous assumption. The advanced video sets off at break-neck speed and has you bouncing around the room like a maniac before you have even completed the warm-up! In short this video is a completely different kettle of fish to the basic videos, and should not be taken lightly. It is over twice as long as the other workouts, and is carried out at roughly three times the speed. Not for the faint-hearted.
