(5 stars) - Billy Blanks Taebo T3
This product was exactly as advertised on Amazon. Delivery was fast, so overall purchase experience was great. The video, I just started exercising to the video this week. I think it is an amazing product. I am in poor physical condition hence I bought this video. The first invigorate video I'm watching is challenging, but at the same time I am able to accomplish feeling very good. The funny thing is the third time watching the workout seems to be even more intense as my body begins the transformation.

(5 stars) - Billy has done it again!
Billy is just awesome. This is the only workout I do. I have several of his other DVDs and believe me, you will be breathless again...and sweating! Great workout!

(3 stars) - A Good Workout
So I just got this set in the mail and I tried the first two DVDs: The Ignition one with all that other stuff on it and the Dedication one. There is just way too much talking I was so annoyed throughout the video. I understand that he wants you to get the form right but he doesn't need to tell you to stop so many times. It just drops your heart rate down, and a lot of the time you're just standing there listening to him spouting his annoying workout philosophy to you. I wish he would just do it, we're not idiots we can mirror what he's doing. Yes I did sweat, but I didn't get as much of a cardio workout as I would have wanted in these first two DVDs. I fastforwarded a lot of it and by the time I finished, two hours had gone by and I still felt I didn't get a good workout. I don't have the time to listen to him rant; less talking and more doing. I hope the other two DVDs are more intense with more movement rather than Billy telling you to stop so we can listen to his verbose explanations. On a side note, there's a girl who is always yelling and screaming in the video (I think it's his daughter). It's another annoying thing that I have to put up with while working out.

I am editing this review after doing the empowerment and commitment DVDs for a month and I have to say his workouts are really good. They definitely make you sweat and you are tired, but it is doable and attainable. I think that the first 2 DVDs are a waste for me, but they are very informative for someone that is completely new to taebo or any form of a defense workout. If you can stand listening through his explanations in the first two DVDs you will learn a lot. If you just want to skip to the workout, fastforward the first ten minutes of the empowerment and commitment DVDs because they are just reviews of the moves. Overall, great cardio workout and it doesn't bulk me up like the "The Firm Bootcamp" DVD. The hand weights help tone your arms while doing cardio. And his daughter yelling all the time? I turn down the TV, tune her out, and put on my own music. :)

(3 stars) - Seems like a great workout, but not for beginners
I really love Billy Blanks and think he is an inspiration to those wanting to be fit. I've had this DVD set for a few weeks and haven't really gotten past the first one yet. It seems like a good workout once you know the moves, but I have a hard time following since I'm not familiar with Tae Bo. Even in the first workout, the moves are very fast paced, and I notice I tend to get sloppy and not do the movement correctly trying to keep up. It's also hard to try to mimic the movement because facing the screen you are doing everything on the opposite side, and I find myself trying to move in the same direction as the people on the TV. I was hoping that this set would be a good introduction to Tae Bo, but feel it would be better if the first workout was slower and focused more on correct form rather than speed.

(4 stars) - You will need your knees
I have done several Tae Bo series and enjoy them very much. I'm not in shape (my fault for lack of consistency) but I keep coming back to Tae Bo because it's so convenient and so much fun.

The main differences in this series compared to the others is the weights - which are very well designed - and the focus on what Billy calls the 'core' workout. It basically means taking a deep horse stance or cat stance while doing the upper body moves. This effectively combines strength training and cardio simultaneously and is great for glute and thigh muscle development. However, if you are subject to knee twinges (like me) you will have to be careful or you may get some knee pains that will last a couple of days (like I did).

Be aware of your limitations and avoid injury.
