Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Feel like the Tae-Bo craze passed you by? Maybe you think you're a little too old or slightly too out of shape for the rock-'em-sock-'em moves of the high-energy aerobics class. Well, Billy Blanks hears you, and he's created a fitness tape just for you: Tae-Bo Gold. While this program says it's geared for the "mature" crowd (which apparently in youth-oriented Los Angeles means those over 40), the easier pace and gentler moves make it appropriate for anyone who doesn't have the stamina for Blanks's other Tae-Bo tapes. There's less hopping from foot to foot and the moves are simpler. And for a refreshing change of pace, the workout class is populated with some folks who are elderly and some who aren't in the peak condition of the exercisers in the other Tae-Bo videos. But don't let these things make you think you aren't going to get a real workout, because the mixture of boxing punches and martial arts kicks will get the heart rate pumping. Mixing in five tunes from the 1950s and '60s with Blanks's own less-than-wonderful music, this 35-minute video shows modifications for those with less balance or who need to take things slower or just can't quite reach their toes. Blanks, as always, is supportive with constant admonishments to get that glass of water or march in place if you need to. This video does, unfortunately, have some drawbacks, the most notable that it can be difficult to hear Blanks's instruction over the loud music. While the moves do begin slowly, you may wish to do a more complete warm-up before the video. And with all of the Tae-Bo videos, you should first carefully watch the Instructional video, available separately, to learn the proper form for all the moves. But disadvantages aside, Tae-Bo Gold proves you're never too old to get into shape, and this is a terrifically fun workout, for folks of all ages. --Jenny Brown Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great for those with limited range of motionI purchased this video when it first came out. I found the regular tae bo videos to be a little intense for my 59 year old body! However, the gold version is designed for the older folks and I've been using it for many years. I only wish it were available on DVD instead of VHS. I've bought it for many of my friends and purchased another copy for myself upon giving away my original. Very good for the abs, and to strengthen your flexibility. I did get a little tired of the music, so made a CD ... Read More Rating:  - Billy Blanks Taebo GoldHave bought 3 VHS tapes and they have gone bad after 2 months of use. I have tried them on 3 different VCRs. Can I get another tape at no charge or is it possible to get this on DVD? Thank you Rating: - A great workoutI love this tape, and only wish he had more variety for the over 40 crowd. I'm wearing this thing out. Rating: - Great for flexibilityI have many of Billys videos and a lot of them are a little to much for me, I am 66 years old. I love doing Tae Bo Gold before I do my strenth training on my bow flex, it limbers me up and get my blood flowing. Great way to start the day. As others have said Billy isn't too accurate on his counting so I reverse the exercises every other time to keep me balanced. My only regret is that I can't get it on dvd so I can do it on my portable dvd player while traveling. I have been doing Gold for at least ... Read More Rating: - Abandon the Eating Disorders, Try This InsteadAfter having my first child and being on continuous bedrest during my pregnancy I had went from 130lbs to 180lbs by the time I had delivered and my 6 weeks of recovering were over. To get myself back in shape, I purchased this workout. Mostly though, because all that "bing, bong, beep beep, bang" music they play in the background drives me nuts in the other Tae-Bo workouts and the music in this workout is more tolerable. Anywho, that's not really the point of the Gold workout or this review. ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
