not what they promised |
I really do not understand everything that is written on this site about this DVD. I kept reading how intense this workout is and I must disagree strongly. I have been using the TaeBo II Get Ripped DVD for almost 2 years now and I have grown tired of it. So I went looking for something new from the Billy Blanks series. I wanted to be sure it was going to be a nonstop intense workout, which is what the Get Ripped workout is. NO GO! This Ultimate DVD does not live up to its name. The biggest problem is that there are too many slow periods. With each new move, Billy does at least three slow sets before moving to the double time. Then he only does two maybe three double time sets. That is not what I call intense. If you want intense, get Get Ripped. I guess I am back to my same old workout until I can find something that lives up to its advertisement.

WOW! |

I am an intermediate/advanced workout level ( I workout 7 days a week for at least an hour ) and this video put me to shame the first time I did it! It is def. for the advanced exerciser, however, I must say that this is one of the most effective video's I have. It makes all of my other workout videos look like nothing. I do have to add that I did not like the short dance intervals in the middle of the workout, but I think he put those in there to lighten the mood. This is money well spent, I would recommend it to anyone looking to get in serious shape without having to leave their house! A++ exercise video! |

Experienced exercisers only! |

This video is very hard because it is so long. The moves are similar to the previous Tae Bo videos, so there's really nothing new there. It is just VERY long! I cannot do the entire hour & a half, so I do the first hour one day (which is a VERY good workout on its own), then the last 1/2 hour the next day. |

Another Great Billy Blast |
|
'Ultimate' is my favorite Tae Bo workout. It features the basic moves at a killer pace up to an unusually long 90-minutes. If you dislike lengthy warm-ups and on-the-floor exercises as much as I do, you'll like this one even more (and might want to avoid the Bootcamp DVDs). 'Ultimate' is definitely not a good choice for beginners--an excellent beginner workout would be 'Tae Bo Cardio.' A mystery of Tae Bo is that you can do the same moves and the same workout a billion times and it just never gets old. This production is slicker than some, sure to please those who complain about a missed rep and other glitches that don't matter when you're working out with the great Billy Blanks at the speed of light. He advises doing Ultimate just once a week because of its intensity, but I find 'Full Throttle Amped' equally "ultimate." I love Billy's technique and unique motivational style. Everybody else makes me want to sit on the couch eating a brownie. I hope he NEVER stops kicking and screaming! |

not what I expected |
|
I am a semi-athletic 28 year old female. Taebo has been around a long time and I thought I would give it a try. I am very disappointed. Billy may have good technique but this workout is really long and poorly filmed. Billy talks at the same time as another girl repeatedly counts down 1.2.3.4... for every movement--very distracting not to mention annoying. Everything seems so disorganized and tacky. The room looks like an old cigar lounge. I have no desire to work out with it. Maybe there are other Taebo videos that are filmed better but I don't want to waste any more money to find out. Another option would be Turbo jam (I got mine for $12 by a seller here on amazon)which is similar technique but filmed much better,not annoying, and better atmosphere. Also, 30 day shred by Jillian Michaels is professional, pleasing to the eyes and ears, and is just 3 different 20 minute workouts you choose by difficulty level. |
