VHS Movie Reviews of Billy Blanks' Tae-Bo Cardio [VHS]
Movie Review: Good Workout Not good for Beginners
Summary: 3 Stars
if you are familiar with the moves that Billy Blanks does in his other videos then this is a great tape and a nice easy workout. However for beginners i've noticed how frustrating this video can be. Starting with this tape and not know the moves made me want to quit. There is no explanation of the steps and some are combination steps. I've been doing the boot camp dvds, however I decided to take a break and try the cardio dvd. it was easy in the beginning and in the end breathing exercises holding a pose it could have been great.
However I was so angry when he started doing the step punch step moves and was trying to figure out if i'm punching with the left hand when my left knee is up or forward or back about 12 minutes into the video i decided to fast forward through towards the end to just do a cool down. i realized about 20 min in there is more of a yoga type strech which was nice and i stopped and did some of that then the some final cool down. so great video but if you are just starting it is NOT the way to go.
Movie Review: Worth Buying
Summary: 4 Stars
It's a good tape.
I highly recommend this tape for an "intermediate." I have done several of Billy Blank's tapes, including his advance
Tae-Bo. I thought the pace of the Cardio was very good.
Movie Review: Absolutely great
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a bona fide Tae Bo veteran. I've been doing it for 4-6 hours a week for years, and I'm very accustomed to the Tae Bo II Advanced Get Ripped workouts, which are definitely in the "VERY DIFFICULT" category.I've read many Tae Bo enthusiasts referring to this program as "intermediate," and I think that's a little bit misleading. Yes, it is shorter (45 minutes) than the older workouts, and its pace is slower.
But Billy really knows what he's doing. If you do this workout CORRECTLY, it is actually extremely intense cardiovascular work, along with tremendous trunk/core muscle training.
What MOST Tae Bo-ers don't understand is that your form is of paramount importance. I've taken several accredited Tae Bo classes, and I don't think I've ever seen more than three or four people who were really doing the moves correctly.
Almost everyone I've ever seen do Tae Bo relies on momentum to execute the moves, especially the kicks. If you bounce your way through it, you'll work up a nice sweat, yes. But you're not going to be doing the workout properly, and your core (stomach, sides, back and rear) aren't going to gain strength.
Tae Bo Cardio FORCES you to focus more on your form. And believe me, working muscles intensely is FAR more draining that hopping up and down, allowing momentum to flail your legs out in an approximation of a kick.
(...) I've worked it into my regular routine.
Movie Review: Basic Tae Bo, Revved Up
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the perfect daily workout for someone at Basic level who wants a break from the other tapes or a bit more exertion. The goal of this tape, as Billy says, is to test and develop aerobic endurance. What that means are more exercise moves with fewer reps than in other tapes, interspersed by a "butterfly step" that keeps both legs and arms moving. If you've never done Tae Bo, get the instructional video of the Live set and work on that first in order to become familiar with the moves.I've done Tae Bo classic, Live and Get Ripped, and the moves in this tape are familiar, with a few twists. The cross-corner punching, roundhouse kicks, knee raise, front and back kicks, squats and speedbag are all here. The "music" isn't very tuneful (pulsing video game music, basically), but it gives the beat which is important for aerobic workout. A bonus for me is a thorough cool-down that emphasizes not just stretching, but muscle control and visualization, something Billy's tapes are getting better at developing.
All in all this has become my favorite Basic workout! I've definitely gotten my money's worth.
Movie Review: Way too fast for beginners!
Summary: 2 Stars
I have never ever seen a Tae-Bo video or class before. I thought this video would get me into the loop, based on other reviews here (they all complain that it is for beginners). Well, let me tell you, it is waaaaaay too fast for beginners. Billy doesn't teach you any of the moves - he just does them (and does them fast). I couldn't even keep up wth the warmup portion at the beginning. The counts of eight take like 4 seconds, and his arms are swinging on every count. I know this is supposed to be a really fast-paced cardio workout to get the heart pumping, but I cannot even keep in synch because I'm trying to learn the moves at a ripping fast pace - it is very frustrating.
