Tae-Bo (2 pak)

Instructional video: I read a few of the reviews that were posted previously. I figured it was time to throw my 2 cents in here. Since I am familiar with martial arts moves and the importance of maintaining good form while doing them I was pleasantly surprised with Billy's indepth instructional tape. Alot of you may already know the boxing moves from Aerobox, but it is very important that you take your time with the kicks and use the instructional video in this set as much as possible till you know that your form is correct, so you will not injure yourself. This is not a tape series that I would advance through too quickly. It takes concentration to place your kicks and not just throw them out there. Billy reminds you to keep everything in place, which is extremely important and he expresses this throughout the instructional tape. If you practice through the instructional tape his basic tape will go smoothly even during the fast moves due to the fact that you will be concentrating on your form as well as speed and not just flailing from move to move as another reviewer stated.

Basic Tape: This tape flows very nicely from the instructional tape. I usually do both tapes together, so I get more of a workout. I also feel regardless of how much karate (martial arts) I may know and do, I can always use the form instruction to remind me of what to do and how. Can you tell I think it is really important to know your form for these tapes?*L* This tape is a little faster and alot of fun. The moves are faster, but you can slow down, so that you aren't just flinging your body parts around, but you do it with purpose rather than ego. I can't tell you how much I sweated in this tape and how great and energized I felt after this workout! IMO this is a must have set. Just remember to control your movements and concentrate through them.

Instructor Comments:
Billy is a very motivating instructor. He keeps me going even when I want to throw in the towel after my legs are screaming and tired from all those standing in place roundhouse kicks. He isen't an "in your face" type of instructor, but comes across differently with his unique blend of motivation that works very well for me. I thoroughly enjoyed Billy's instructional video and his basic, and am awaiting as patiently as possible his newest releases.
