   I own the original Tae Bo Basic & Advanced series and have been very happy with the results/format. I purchased this DVD used (without the Billy Band) but had my own band with handles and was very disappointed in the workout/format with the bands. The bonus workout was good but overall I would not recommend this DVD. I like the 10 Minute Solutions Rock Hard Abs DVD much better.

   I’ve enjoyed working out with Mr. Blanks thus far, but the bands for this work out are ridiculous. I did the workout a week ago, and I still have clear bruising on my biceps. The bruises on my left arm look terrible. It looks like I’ve been beaten or something. And because of the location, it looks bad for my husband. It looks like he grabbed me really hard on my upper arms, which he would never do.

   The workout is mediocre at parts while at other times it’s pretty good. The second time I did this workout, I left the bands off and used hand weights instead. If you want a superb ab workout though, hit up P90X.

   I would suggest this DVD if you are looking for a different ab routine than what you’re already doing. It’s great to toss in there to spice things up. But the first two DVD’s for Billy’s Boot Camp are much better than this one.

   I’m been using Billy’s products for 6 years and I love them. Using the bands with this product is cumbersome. It takes some getting used to. In fact I tried using the old black bands instead of the elite bands and it was still very cumbersome. The bands showed signs of wear after doing the workout a few times and I’m not sure if the workout caused the wear and tear or if this was an existing condition. In any event today I made some modification to the workout in that I used Billy’s amped bar and some ankle weights. Wow the workout was great. The ankle weights really work the abs nicely. You can also try using hand grip weights instead of the amped bar. Based on making adjustments I would recommend the product. If you just want to use the bands then I cannot really recommend the workout. The workout without the use of any equipment would also be a waste of money.

   I love this dvd! It’s definitely challenging, but that’s the point. With other workouts, I don’t always feel the abs have been worked as hard as they should be – that’s definitely not the case here. I don’t love the bands, so use hand-held weights instead and it works just as well. Quick, visible results – I highly recommend it!

   I am a fit taebo user and turned this video off mid way it was so painful. I’m not talking good workout pain, I’m talking pain! The bands are terrible, they dig painfully and deeply into your arms and legs, rip out your hair, and leave indentations from digging in so deep.
   
   If you feel you just have to do this video, leave the bands behind or prepare to have some bruises the next day.
