Equipment needed: step, light hand weights
Level: Intermediate
Bottom line: the inexplicable charm that propels many Tae Bo workouts past their flaws fails to make this workout challenging, useful or fun.
Equipment needed: none required; I use 1.5 lb hand weights to increase difficulty
Level: Intermediate/advanced to advanced, depending on how you use the workout
Bottom line: although the fact that this is a compilation ends up highlighting the weaknesses of Tae Bo workouts, this difficult cardiovascular workout will work your lower body and core like no other!
Equipment needed: none
Level: Advanced
Bottom line: super intense kickboxing intervals last just a little longer than you think you can tolerate; add that to challenging and high-intensity aerobic combinations and you have a killer workout
Equipment needed: step; fitness ball; 5 lb weight
Level: Advanced
Bottom line: diverse exercise styles, high intensity and a lightning pace challenge your mind and endurance in this top-quality workout.
Equipment used: none required; I used 1.5 lb hand weights
Level: Intermediate, but can be lower or higher depending on how you use the workout
Bottom line: an extremely motivating instructor combined with fast-moving kickboxing combinations more than compensate for what this workout lacks in difficulty.
