| Fantastic Workout! |
| My fitness level is pretty advanced; I've been doing exercise video workouts (weights & cardio) for years, and Billy's BootCamp Cardio Sculpt is the very best I've encountered. (It's also the best of Billy's, in my experience.) It's a great weight AND cardio workout, there's obvious and infectious fun and camaradarie in the group doing the workout with him, and I feel fantastic afterwards. The workout has just enough push to go beyond the usual, but not so much as to be exhausting. This is the first time I've ever rated a workout, and I'm doing it because this one is so outstanding. - posted by anonymous on 1/20/2012 |

| Fun, fast paced, fat burning workout! |
| I have several earlier Billy TAE BO workout Dvds.(which I also love) In the beginning he was super enthusiastic and motivating but a little weak on his cuing. (8 reps on one side and 5 on the other, etc.) In this DVD Billy is smooth, polished and professionally cued. You recognize some of the same people he always uses in his DVDs, which I like. I like seeing really fit people doing the workouts, which is motivating for me. And as always, he delivers a really intense, fast paced, kick butt workout. I use this DVD on Monday mornings when I don't REALLY want to workout, because the minute I start working out with Billy's Cardio Sculpt my attitude gets back in line with my goals. He is my Monday morning jump start for the week! GREAT BUY! - posted by Wanbli on 12/2/2011 |

 Good For Upper Body Toning |
| This workout focuses on toning the upper body. You will need to use lighter weights (I used 2 lbs) because the pace is fast. Unfortunately, some of the moves are done a bit too quickly in my opinion. I found it impossible to keep up with some of the quicker moves and keep decent form. I also found the incessant counting of the exercisers really annoying. Billy is pleasant and motivating and does give some good form pointers, though he does tend to repeat himself. I do think this workout will definitely shape and tone the arms so I will keep it in my rotation. - posted by Diane on 9/16/2011 |

| Sure beats the treadmill |
| Let me tell you how great this workout is--the cueing is excellent. I can feel all my muscles engaged and working hard. This workout will kick your butt ! I thought I was working out great on my treadmill but boy oh boy, this is so much better. You get a killer workout & sweat like a soldier. I can feel it in my abs and arms, legs & butt. Billy is entertaining & motivating. I love this workout & also his Insane Abs DVD. You won't regret buying or using this workout. - posted by Terry on 9/14/2011 |

| Good workout but be careful |
| This workout is very well cued, and the moves are not complicated. They ARE effective, though. Billy starts each move at a slower pace and then ramps it up double-time. It is essential that you choose the right weights because the double-time moves are very fast, and you could easily injure yourself. Some of the exercisers in the video could not keep their form tight because their weights were too heavy. GO LIGHT. I preferred to use 5 pound weights during the slow sets and then drop down to 2 or 3 pounds during the fast sets. If you push yourself, you do get a good cardio workout, as well as some nice toning, mainly upper body. The counting did not bother me at all. I am 41 year-old high intermediate to advanced exerciser who incorporates a combination of heavy weight training workouts with cardio (kickboxing preferred). This DVD definitely deserves a spot in my rotation. - posted by Jennifer B. on 9/1/2011 |

| Killer workout! |
| I really like this workout. It is only 45 minutes but, every minute is challenging. It recommends 3-5 lb weights however, I recommend no more than 1 or 2 the first few times you do this one. I am advanced and I think it would be hard to keep good form during the cardio pushes with more than 2 pounds. He goes very fast during these pushes and I think you could hurt yourself with too much weight. I got a nice "muscle soreness" the next day using 2#. A few of the participants could not finish some of the excercises with the higher weights. Overall a great Tae Bo workout. I will rotate this one in on a weight day. - posted by Kelly on 8/28/2011 |

| Great workout!! |
| I like this workout a lot, it was up beat and incorporated new moves. There was a sufficient amount of lower body exercises executed in this workout out like having the weights on your shoulders and doing pelvic tilts with squats (FIRE!!!). Billy does encourage you to engage your leg muscles whilst doing the upper body exercises by squatting down. All taebo fans should know that the reason why he gets you to count up to 8 all the time is test your physical strength and stamina. If your having difficulty counting the numbers and executing the moves then you need to go at a slower pace until your are able to move onto the next step. Overall, fabulous workout that I include in the rest of this series. - posted by Cee on 8/9/2011 |

| Excellent Upper Body Workout |
| This is a one of the best upper body workouts I have done. I have done this workout three times already this week and already see a positive difference in my upper body muscles. This video should be called Upper Body Sculpt because that is exactly what it does. I used 4lb weights throughout the entire video and got a great workout. Don't hesitate purchasing this one. Billy has done it again!!! - posted by Ali on 7/7/2011 |

| Great workout!!! Work @ your own pace.. |
| I've done Tae Bo in the past and have always liked Billy's style/form of working out. However, when he goes into "double time" I never seem to be able to catch up. It's the same w/ this one. He starts off slow and then he speeds the exercises up for the cardio portion of the workout. When he speeds it up, it feels kind of awkward so, I'll definitely continue with it but will take another reviewer's advice and slow it down (stay at a comfortable pace). What I did was used 5lbs and when he sped it up I grabbed my 3lbs which felt better for speed so either alternate weights or continue at a slower pace then him and the crew..They've been doing this for years so you'd expect them to be ok w/it. As always Billy Blanks have done a great job!!! If we expect it to be effective then we have to put in the work. - posted by Marna on 7/5/2011 |
