First, let me say that I ordered this tape after doing Tae Bo for a month and a half. I have been doing Kickbox Express for about a month and I know that I am in the minority here, but I am not totally thrilled with this one. There is nothing horribly wrong with the video - it has interesting combos, pretty good music, Janis is friendly, and it is long - but it just doesn't make me want to rant and rave about it. I find it to be good for endurance but it just doesn't give me as intense of a workout as Tae Bo.

She has long combinations which are pretty cool. Janis confuses me when she cues something other than what she does. But if you watch the girls behind her you will be OK during that part. The jump rope section was fun the first couple of times I did the video but now it is boring. The ending cardio sculpting segment is not overly challanging but it is different from the normal workout fare. She does say awesome alot but it hasn't gotten annoying yet.

Basically this is a good workout. It is a good alternative to Tae Bo if you don't want to spend the $60 BUT you won't get as intense of a workout with Kickbox Express.
