 Too Much Down Time
Reviewer: Anonymous 03-03-2004
I have not been as pleased with these tapes as with the others I have ordered. The workouts did not keep my heart rate up. Also there is way too much down time between excercises.
 Best for beginning or intermediate tae-bo students

This set contains 4 DVD/video's. Foundation teaches you the proper execution of the techniques, that differs slightly from earlier Billy Blanks video's. Energy does the same but in a slightly higher tempo. The two remaining DVD's are Power and Strength (my personal favourite). "Capture The Power is the best I know" Billy Blanks says in the note that comes with the DVD's, but the experienced Tae-bo warrior will find something wonting here. Billy talks a lot between sets, does the sets slow first many times, the fast sets don't last very long and he makes use of yoga like warm-up techniques. All these factors deduce from the sweatiness which is still my main criteria for a good workout. The choreography of these workouts is pretty good, I would give it an 8 out of ten. And for overall sweatiness a 7 out of 10. Those experienced with Tae-bo will not find these tapes too challenging. For people that want to get into tae-bo and are looking for 45 minute workouts, this is the thing to buy. Advanced Tae-bo practitioners should buy either the original Tae-bo tapes or the Get Ripped series, that are in my opinion still the best in the field.
 Different, but Great!

I workout regularly with Tae Bo and use pretty much all of the programs that have been available up to now. I love them all. I love working hard!
This set of programs is different from Billy Blanks' many previous ones in several ways. Billy has broken the work down into four elements: Foundation, Energy, Strength and Power, and bases the four workouts on each of these themes. There are new combinations of moves and new music, and together they create unique workouts from the previous ones.
At first I didn't think I liked them, because they are more broken up into little chunks. That is, after doing the moves slowly, the number of cranked-up reps that follow is fewer than in previous Tae Bo programs. I thought I wasn't getting as much of a workout, but, in fact, it was just as good. My heart rate was in my target zone, and I took as many, if not more, steps.
It's nice to see the participants getting a little older (same folks, updated looks), and the studio setting is more updated and colorful than previously.
I miss the older workouts and will probably alternate between the older ones and the new ones.
If you're looking for something different in Tae Bo, give these a try. But don't expect an Advanced Advanced workout. These are more modulated, but they'll do the trick just the sa
