(3 stars) - Just okay...
First, I am a HUGE Billy Blanks/Tae Bo fan. I lost 30lbs. with Tae Bo and after my 4th baby I used Post natal Tae Bo with Billy Blanks' stepdaughter, Shelley and it helped me get back into working out.

I would not recommend Bootcamp Elite to someone who is already fit. It was way too easy for me. I thought it might be a low impact, high intensity workout, but I was really disappointed that it was neither. If you have just started exercising, this would be perfect for you. Prior to this workout program, I had already been doing strength training, yoga, running, etc. and needed something else that was just as or more intense but this was not it.

This is the first time I was ever disappointed with a Billy Blanks video. I haven't returned it because I think I will use it once I get to the maintenance phase of my weight loss.

(4 stars) - Boot Camp Tae Bo will kick your butt
This Boot Camp package with DVD and resitance bands is a great work out. There are 3 levels - I haven't made it past the 1st but working on it. Seems like this is the same as what you get on the Billy Blanks site but without the dog tags.

(1 stars) - not as pictured
this item is misrepresented,,,on purpose. i looked back at other reviews and others have ordered this item thinking it has the billy bands with it, because it says it does. wrong! this item is the dvd only.

(5 stars) - Transform your life
I bought this program earlier this month, I was over 200 pounds and my ideal weight is 130, I already lost 15 pounds, I feel stronger, more energy, this is a fantasic program, I love the bands. They are great. I love Billy he keeps you moviated. Get this and transform your life and have a longer healthy life.

(4 stars) - I'm a believer!
I'm in my fourth week of using this set now. I wanted to wait until I'd tried all three DVDs for awhile before reviewing. And I'll say that I'm almost completely won over. I'll explain the "almost" in a bit.

Mission One: Getting Started
I like this one. It focuses more on the cardio aspect, with some strength built in, using the weighted bands. I like the bands a lot; they're a little awkward at first, but they really do boost your workout. My only criticism for mission one is that it's a great way to get introduced to the workout early on, but I can already feel it getting a lot easier (which is just a testament, I guess, to how much better shape I'm in now!). Each cardio portion starts off doing the motion slowly, and then moving into double time. I think that as time progresses, I'll simply start doing all of it double time to boost the challenge.

Mission Two: Maximum Power
This DVD will kick your butt and the rest of you, too. After three weeks with mission two, I'm still not nearly up to the task. Especially the upper body -- if you're looking to put a dent in those arms, this one will do it for you. I think mission two has the best use of the weighted bands; you can really use them to take your workout to another level. This mission is more focused on strength than cardio - it mixes short cardio segments in between strength segments.

Mission Three: Rock Hard Abs
This is where my "almost" comes in. This segment is awkward to me; I kind of feel like it's just incorporating the bands for the sake of doing so. I ended up not responding very well to this one; it was just a little strange for me. I do like the little 8-minute bonus segment at the end, though - no equipment, just old-fashioned ab work. I've started using, instead, the Core and Stretch segments on Cathe Friedrich's Muscle Max DVD - it's about 15 minutes with no bells and whistles, and really gives you a nice stretch at the end.
