Billy Blanks' Tae Bo: 5 - Active [DVD]

I always come back to Tae Bo dvds (in particular Billy's) as firstly - they are fun; which is huuge for me as someone who needs to be dragged kicking and screaming :-) If something's fun, and leaves me feeling good, I'm naturally much more likely to do it. The other major reason is that I believe Hi-Intensity workouts are the only things that truly shift weight, by affecting your metabolism (just my HO from experience). Whilst this is not an actual high intensity labelled work out, it without a doubt could be and has the same effects. Highly recommended.

Love Billy Blanks workout DVDs and this one is great. The first workout is challenging, never mind the second one!

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.

Absolutely love this one , i have 5 already but this is my favourite, last time i got in shape and lost weight within 6 weeks , was quite a shock when i suddenly looked fit and had lost over a stone, i did'nt see it coming , i was only doing taebo and no other excersise for half and hr every other morning before breakfast !!, it works , cant wait to do this for a while and see the results, this time i have bought the abs and glutes to do in the evening as well!

It was difficult for me to regain a human shape after my first child. I found other videos boring and a chore to have to work through them - then I bought this DVD and it saved my body and mind. I started by doing the advanced workout and used the basic one when I wanted to focus more on cardiovascular or was pushed for time. Both are great workouts and you'll see results fast.Billy Blank's personality really shines through and you won't get bored of the DVD.You can aspire to keep up with the women at the front of the class in the DVD or congratulate yourself on doing better than some of the men who are huffing and puffing away.I've have started following it again recently after having my second child - it helps keep the toddler occupied aswell as she tries to do the moves and likes to keep count.Good Luck!

go for it heavy duty stuff

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.

Good picture, wanted to buy this brand new but purchased used as could not find it new but well worth it.
