This was the biggest disappointment I have ever paid for! My friends and coworkers have been talking about how great Tae Bo is for over two years, and I had never tried it until recently. I currently do Kathy Smith's Kickboxing with Keith Cook 5 times a week and it makes me sweat like crazy! It's a fabulous workout. So I thought this would be a great progression into something maybe more challenging, and was hoping it would add some great variety to my workout. And it WAS a challenge alright - a challenge to watch! The video instructs you how to do many cool moves, but after just a couple sets, you move on to the next before I could really even get the one being explained down pat. And often times Billy Blanks wasn't even doing the moves, rather, the people behind him were, but his face and body took up the whole screen so I could not follow them either! It was very frustrating! He would say, "Ok, now let's work the other side!", when I had not even seen him do the FIRST side! The biggest irritant was that he would say "Now go RIGHT", or "Now we'll be using our RIGHT side", and he really DID use his right side, making it all backwards for me as the viewer. I'd use my right like he was saying, but the people on the video were doing just the opposite, making it very confusing. When doing kickboxing moves, I like to follow exactly on the screen to make me feel like I am doing it as safely as possible, and this was a nightmare to follow. I am getting rid of it. It really soured my aspirations to try more Tae-Bo.
