Format:DVD
I had piled on the weight after having my son and after about 7 months of going to the gym and on and off dieting I had lost a measily 5lb. So I decided to go in search of a work out video which I could do in the comfort of my own home with the added benefit of not paying to use gym equipment.
After a few hours of searching I stumbled across this DVD and decided to give it a go. After the 1st workout I could really feel a difference, I particularly liked the fact that I ached the following day which meant I'd had a good enough workout.
I continued to do the basic routine every day for about 2 months and lost 10lb!!
I then decided I would try the advanced routine. I found this one a lot harder at 1st as it involved a lot of floor work on the abs but soon got the hang of it.
Ive now being doing this advanced routine every day for about 4-5 months and I have lost a further stone!
I now feel confident to wear my bikini on holidays again and its all thanks to this video. Theres no stopping me now. I may get my pre pregnancy figure back sooner than I thought. BUY IT!!!!

First of all, I would like to say that Billy Blanks is a fitness genius. This dvd is is a part of the 'Tae-Bo Live' series in his studio. It consists of 4 workouts (in the past, each workout was sold on its own).
The first workout is an intructional one, which gives you a pretty good idea of what Tae-Bo is and how it should be performed. Only one thing bothers me about this workout, and that is that the workout is not semetrical (he only uses one side of his body) (about 35 minutes).
The second workout is the basics. this workout is for beginners, but it will also make people in great shape sweat (a lot!). I love this workout. It can be used as an aerobic warm-up before a toning session (such as for abs, arms, chest, legs...) and can also be done seperately (about 30 minutes).
Next up is the advanced class. This is a tougher and more intense workout than the previous one (about 55 minutes)
The last workout is the "8 min. workout". This is Billy Blanks' signiture workout. It is designed for people who are in the intermediate level (between basics and advanced) and is good for days when you don't have much time to excercise. In those days all you have to do is spare 8 minutes to workout (and another 30 for the shower afterwards...:).
Overall, this is a great buy and I highly recommend it to anyone who want to get in shape, have fun and still get that burn in the muscles that tells you "good job. can't wait until the next time".
All of the workouts are on one dvd and accompanied by a good warm-up and cool-down stretch, with an easy-to-choose menu.
However, the one thing I did not appreciate about this dvd is the annoying blonde screaming in the background.

This guy is good! He seems to have a knack of being able to read your mind! He knows when you are getting tired and are about to give up! He looks at you and talks to you at the right times to give you real motivation! The intro section is very good at showing you the moves and kicks needed to do Tae-bo safely and without injury. I have just done the 'basic' workout and it was very good. 30 mins of pure punches, kicks and cool moves! I am really looking forward to doing it again! I am also inpressed at the length of the dvd, 160 mins. Many fitness videos are short and you dont feel you are getting your money's worth. This one has an advanced section and an extra 8 minute workout aswell as the intro and basic workout. I recommend this, highly!

The advanced workout on Tae-Bo Energise DVD is copied from the Tae-Bo 5 Active DVD (i.e. exactly the same workout, same people, same clothes). Check it out and see what I mean. Read more
