(1 stars) - waste of money
i was very excited this morning to get up at 6 and try my new tae bo funk video. being a past tae bo 'junkie' and a newbie to hip hop, i thought i was in for a double treat! boy, was i wrong! i am so used to taking the cardio kickboxing and hip hop & funk classes at my gym that this video left me very bored and felt like i didnt work out at all! very low energy, too many 'pauses' in between new moves & high energy cardio and not nearly enough reps for each move to really trigger those muscles and make them work. looks like i am headed back to the gym now at 7 tonight to REALLY work out...the only thing positive that i CAN say is that as long as you are doing the moves right, it can be a great ab workout, but thats about it.

(4 stars) - Billy Blanks TAEBO Funk
Just as described and you still lose weight! Not as other Billy Blanks TAEBO products but a lighter impact excercise program.

(1 stars) - Not Funky
Let me start by saying that I am a huge Tae-bo fan and have been doing Tae-bo for the better part of 10 years. However, I have to be honest. All of Billy's subsequent videos (Boot Camp, Foundation and Energy, etc.) are essentially repackaged Taebo moves with not much new. Sure, he's added resistance bands and the like to some of his workouts, but the moves are the same. That said, this Funk video was a total joke. First of all, the so called "latest hip hop moves" are NOT the latest. In fact, most of the moves are from the 80s and 90s. (At one point, one of the guys pops and locks which is break dancing. Billy's daughter did the running man, which is from the MC Hammer era.) I was hoping that Taebo would be merged with some of the hottest dances over the last couple of years, such as the souljah boy. Well, I was sorely disappointed. AND there is no hip hop music in this so called hip hop workout--just his usual hokey soundtrack that sounds like it is also from the 80s. The funny thing is Billy was really getting into to and at one point, he ripped off his shirt to show how to work the abs. He also keep saying, "Terminator--Arnold Swhargenner." I know I spelled that wrong, but the point is this--the Terminator was cool a LONG TIME AGO. It was weird. He kind of reminded me of my dad or one of my uncles trying to be cool. Like them, Billy just dates himself! Do not order this DVD if you are expecting it to be like some of the other hip hop workouts on the market. It's the same taebo with some breakdancing moves...LOL.

(5 stars) - HAVE FUN LOSING WEIGHT!
Although, I use the Tae Bo "Fat Blasting Cardio" dvd, Sun - Thu and Tae Bo "Bootcamp Elite - Maximum Power " dvd on Fri every week as my physical fitness regimen, I still like trying out the other Tae Bo dvds. Tae Bo "Funk"is a very relaxed workout. If you are used to the structured, high energy workouts often experienced with the other Tae Bo dvds, you might be disappointed but this workout will definitely help you lose weight in a very relaxed, and fun environment. You'll still burn approximately 500 calories! It is still very intense especially if you are a new user. So I would highly recommend this dvd for first timer users who are ready to get in shape and lose weight in a fun way. Do not mistake the relaxed atmosphere for a poor workout. I have used and still use Tae Bo to keep in shape. When I started Tae bo in February 2006 I was a size 6 and today I'm a size 0. So take it from me, you'll still lose weight with this workout.

(1 stars) - Just Awful
