I was so excited to get Tae Bo, but very disappointed when I actually tried it. I was really hoping for a challenging aerobic workout, which the commercial seems to portray, but the advanced tape was only moderately difficult. I am only an intermediate aerobic exerciser, but it just wasn't very hard. Maybe it had to do with my background in karate, but I just don't think Tae Bo is all that it's cracked up to be.

I think I'll stick to Kathy Smith's Aerobox when I want a real challenge.

Instructor Comments:
BB is a typical martial arts instructor; very little emphasis on solid warm-ups and safe exercise form, but motivational and likeable. As long as you don't rely on him for sound fitness advise, you'll be fine.
