5.0 out of 5 stars A long awaited advanced for all the tae-bo addicts out there, 3 April 2002

By A Customer

I've been a Tae-bo fan for two years now, and this one is pure perfection. Brilliant Billy gives us fitness addicts two great new routines: one short (around 30 minutes) and one long (about 50-55. The short version is more strenuous than previous tae-bo videos, and it had me out of puff in no time,with some great new combinations and a new twist to the speedbag punch. The advanced long version combines a rigorous workout for the upper body, followed by some fantastic floor routines for those hard to reach places (think abs and glutes here). The warm up and cool down feels like part of the entire routine, but Billy also incorporates some great stretches at the beginning and end of the routine.
These routines have some tricky moves in them : lots of punches, combinations, and cool kicks. This is a superb video in which Billy puts you through your paces. Its great fun, though if you are new to Tae-bo, start with the earlier ones, and work your way up to this one. If you're dying to get your hands on a new work-out routine, which works you in all the right places, then tae-bo is the one for you. If, like me, you are already a Tae-bo devotee, then, what are you waiting for...? Billy has really worked hard with this one: number five is truly the most fun you will ever have, while really putting your fitness to the test. Despite my daily Tae-bo basic workouts, and twice weekly advanced, I felt Billy's latest offering really work every muscle! Fantastic, and one which I know will have me running to the video machine to do again and again !

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute must for all Taebo Fans!, 6 April 2002

By	lbswigan@hotmail.com (Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews

Taebo Active is packed full of explosive new moves that will not only test your physical fitness, but also your coordination and your will power. It contains both a basic and advanced workout and is an absolute must for all Taebo fans. The basic workout is one of the toughest yet, and is set at more of an advanced pace, with Billy Blanks giving you little time to catch your breath. Although this is not really suitable for those new to Taebo; for those looking to test themselves, or progress onto an advanced level – this is ideal. The advanced workout is broken down into four sections and really does give you a total body workout. Firstly you work on your upper body, then it’s down to the ground to get those abs in shape, before moving up to set those buttocks on fire and finally getting into some high energy kicking. The workout is rounded off nicely with a relaxing cool down. All the old faces are there, along with some new ones, but as always, Billy and the Taebo Team provide you with all the enthusiasm and motivation you need to push yourself to the next level of your fitness.

5.0 out of 5 stars 'Ab Fab', 18 April 2002

By	harri@ancinternational.com (UK (Birmingham)) - See all my reviews

I've been a taebo fan for about 2 years now, i thought the advanced was excellent; however the music, coordination and pace of Taebo active has had me addicted since the day i got the video.

The first part is excellent, about a 30 mins work out that just flys by, by the end of it your wondering where the time went. He keeps you motivated and makes you work harder and want to work harder.

I've lost inches in just a week of doing the first part. The second part is an advanced version, although the way billy takes you through the moves you feel more confident and empowered.

This video is an absoulute gem, theres no doubt in my mind that taebo works both on the outside and on the inside.
