Not as good as the original...

"I rented this DVD to try it out before I bought it, and I'm glad I did. I first tried Tae Bo about 3 years ago. I really liked the Basic and Advanced workouts, they got my heart rate up to where I knew I was really working out, and my muscles hurt for days afterword. When I tried this DVD, the pace was quite a bit slower, my heart rate didn't remain elevated like I would have wished, and quite frankly I felt bored. Not to mention the Tae Bo tools (which are 2 small 1/2 lb. flexible balls) which of coarse I don't own, or have any intention of buying. If you're looking for a good cardio Tae Bo video, stick with the original, you'll use just as much STRENGTH/POWER, and get a better cardio workout to boot."

Works for Me!

"I think that this is a great workout. I was using the older videos and needed to take it to the next level so I decided to buy this one and the the Foundation/Energy video. If you have even the least bit of coordination and balance you should be able to complete this workout. He goes through the moves slowly at first then you add the energy. I actually haven't bought the flexible balls that he uses I just make a fist and pretend that I have the balls and it works fine. I do plan to buy them though. So overall this video is very effective, a great sweat producer and believe me you will be feeling the effects the next day. Especially when you first start.

Decent workout for beginners

"I'm a big fan of Tae Bo and found this workout not as hard as the bootcamp series or the original Tae Bo Advanced workouts. However, if you want an easier workout or are new to Tae Bo, I'd recommend this. You can use small, weighted balls with the workouts, which increases toning."
