 Too Easy and Too much Advertisment, 2003-10-09
The major drawback of this DVD is that before the advanced work out there are many advertisments you have to sit through before the video begins. This is extremly annoying and makes me mad everytime I do the workout. I have only done the advanced workout and it is not as intense as his other advanced work outs. One positive thing about it is it has a really good ab workout. I would not have purchased this video if I had tried it first.

 too much advertising you can't skip, 2003-01-22
I was very dissapointed with the Taebo Live DVD. You cannot skip the advertising that begins each of the sections and so you have to listen to it EVERY time. I also think the routines are a bit choppy. the original TaeBo Workout and Get Ripped are much better.
If you are a current TaeBo enthusiast I recommend you skip this DVD

Tae Bo is Brilliant!, 2002-12-31
Everyone should give Tae Bo a try. Approach it with confidence and determination. Read online Tae Bo discussion boards for support and success stories to keep you motivated. But when you commit to working out, do it for spirit rather than your physical hopes. As Billy says, let the rest fall into place. This particular set is a great set for Tae Bo fans or Tae Bo beginners. Although the instructional workout can be boring, you really need to watch and work along with it before doing your first workout. It will hopefully help you complete your workouts safely and effectively. The basic workout is a great workout that beginners will find challenging. Eventually you may be able to move to the advanced tape, but take your time and build your skills, confidence, and endurance first. The 8-minute workout is not really something you should use on its own. I would suggest doing the basic workout and the 8-minute workout back-to-back as you progress between basic and advanced. Just try out various ideas to see what is best for you. And don't get discouraged if even the basic is too tough for you to complete when you begin. Take your time and focus on completing the moves you make as cleanly as possible, work on good form. Approach Tae Bo with the a determinded and strong mind! You will feel great!

tae bo enthusiast, 2002-12-18
i've been doing tae bo for over 2 years now and have all the advanced videos... yes, billy doesn't always remember to do equal sets on both sides, yes the music and some of the people in the back can be annoying (especially when they aren't doing an exercise right or not getting into it) no, you aren't learning how to do actual martial arts... but overall, this is an excellent workout. i've lost about 55 lbs. with the help of these videos and i'm in incredible shape. when i started out, i had no muscle tone at all. i was using the basic and started noticing results after a few weeks. now i'm muscular, have great abs, am very flexible and have a lot of stamina, all because of tae bo. i'm even considering getting certified in kickboxing so i can become an instructor. if you are looking to get into incredible shape with a fun workout that is really challenging, try these tapes. you'll never be bored and you'll end up with a great body. when you graduate to the advanced videos and can do the full hour without pausing, you will realize just how in shape you are (to the women considering buying this, you'll feel like you can kick anyone's butt... lol). i just caution everyone to use the instructional every so often so you can make sure you are doing the moves the right way, especially the kicks. you can really hurt yourself if you don't.
