Movie Reviews of TaeBo II: Get Ripped Advanced Workout
Movie Review: There's Absolutely Nothing Like Tae Bo
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all, let me say that I am the biggest advocate for this work out series. It engages all parts of the body (yes, even the flabby waist). I HATE weight lifting. This work out tones you in addition to burning fat. The moves are difficult at times, but nothing that the average person can't figure out with some practice.
I've tried all kinds of work out videos, and most of them pretty much amount to "oh goody, another set of lunges." Tae Bo is fun, heart pumping, and really gets you into an energized "Kick butt" mode. Best of all, Billy is friendly, encouraging, and urges you to incorporate your spirit as well as your body and mind.
About this DVD: First of all, it's an all around good buy, with 2 long workouts and one 8 minute (which is different than the original one, and much harder).
I've been doing Workout 1 for about a month, and it still gets my heart pounding. On my lazier days, I sometimes even have to stop and rest. It incorporates a great deal of cardio, and Billy really shows you no mercy throughout most of it. My only complaint is all the standing butt exercises he does towards the end, which require a lot of balance and control. I usually end up skipping this part and doing Tae Bo Abs Boot Camp to make up for it.
Workout 2 is hard, but in a less "Oh sweet Lord, ANOTHER set??" sort of way. Personally I find it more fun, and a little less stressfull on the body.
Okay, I have just one problem: Michelle, the certified "Malibu Naturals Girl" who also got her lovely picture on the DVD cover. I would advise you not to watch her during the workout, as she is often way off-beat and doing the moves wrong. Just keep your eye on Billy and Shellie (Billy's adopted daughter) and you'll get everything down in no time.
Seriously, if you're already familiar with the classic Tae Bo moves, get this video to really take it to the next level. I'd even recommend it over the new Boot Camp series, which tends to rely too heavily on muscle-agonizing squat thrusts and about 80 different "Billy Band" arm exercises. Those workouts just tear your muscles down and leave you with painful exercise-hangovers. Those are the workouts you end up abandoning quickly, because it's simply not worth it.
These two advanced workouts will burn the fat, sculpt you, and show you an all-around good time. Get 'em.
