 Not for the weak, but if you're in shape, BUY IT! July 14, 2006

I've done this workout about 4 times and all i can say is "holy X?@X!!!". I've been working out for 22 years and I am in great shape. I have a personal training license and a gym at home as well as a vast library of workouts. It has been very difficult to find video workouts that really challenge me and I've wasted a lot of money to say the least. There are no words to describe this video, but I'll try. It is DIFFICULT, EFFECTIVE, CHALLENGING AND WORTH THE MONEY A HUNDRED TIMES OVER. The only negative things I can say is that it doesn't seem safe and if you're not in shape or aware of safety, you can really hurt yourself; the warm-up should be longer and more attention should be given to warming up the cardiovascular system, he never does the amount of sets he promises- he does more, which is not necessarily a bad thing, and his counting is off. I can't stress enough that you can really hurt yourself doing this workout if you don't know what you're doing. With all that in mind, if you're in great shape and are looking for change - this is the video for you. It's worth every penny and then some. If you're not in shape and are looking for something easy and safe, this is not for you. It's a cardio workout by all means but it attacks (and I mean ATTACKS) the abdominals in a standing position and I can't tell you how effective that's been. I have 15 year old twins and I have not been able to get my stomach in any kind of permanent shape in all these years and with all my workouts. I actually have CUTS now and when I bend over, it doesn't hang anymore. Awesome, awesome, awesome. Good luck and enjoy.
 Tae-Bo II Review March 22, 2006

Of the two tapes, I think the 1st of the the two is a better tape. Both workout tapes are quite similar though. Very energetic, and a fairly tough workout
 Not as easy as it looks February 7, 2006

I ordered this tape in hopes of jumping right back into working out after having my son. When I first got the tape I played the tape just to get a feel of the workouts, after viewing it, I came to the conclusion that this was an easy workout and not worth my purchase price. EASIER SAID THAN DONE!!! After coaxing from my hubby, I decided to actually try out the tape. Did I last 10 minutes? Ha! Not even! This work out is HARD! It is not for beginners. It is for people that are used to working out. Sure sometimes during the workout Billy loses count. But thats okay, its all part of psyching your body out, LOL. If you are a beginner than start out with the BASIC workout. Save yourself the embarassment!
Good Workout and Good Deal September 15, 2005

I bought this video because I was too "thrifty", OK, cheap to purchase the DVD version of the original Tae-Bo workout set, which I liked in the past. If you've never Tae-Bo'd before, you'll appreciate that you get instructional with this video. If you have, no real surprises here. The basic workout wasn't quite enough for me, but add the 8 minute at the end and you'll feel the burn. I am still partial to the original versions but for the price, this is a pretty good deal.
Excellent workout June 30, 2004

I started doing Tae-Bo when the tapes first came out and I've been doing kickboxing for years-- this is definately the most intense workout I've done so far. I've ordered so many other tapes only to find that they moved way too slow and were completely useless. You do have to know your own limits with these tapes though because the tempo can be very fast at times. The music isn't the best, but this is an excellent workout and the time goes by so fast. Larry Lam's XKO is also an excellent workout, but not quite as challenging as this one.
