 Tae
Bo Workout
Starring: Billy Blanks, et al.
Billed as the "future of fitness" and hawked by numerous celebrities, Billy Blanks's Tae-Bo actually
deserves much of the hype it's receiving. A mixture of boxing punches and martial arts kicks, Tae-Bo is fun and
easy.
One of the best elements of this two-tape set is that the first tape (which is 40 minutes long), Tae-Bo: Instructional,
lays out the movements you need to successfully complete a workout. Once you've mastered the steps, you won't have
to fast-forward through half the tape to get to the workout, nor will your workout be slowed down by the repeated
lessons.
After you feel comfortable with the movements (and they're really quite easy to follow; nothing too complicated
to trip you up), you're ready to move on to Tae-Bo: Basics, a 27-minute workout (5 minutes of warm-up, 18 minutes
of Tae-Bo, and 4 minutes of cool-down) that will have your heart pounding and your body sweating. The only downside
to this tape is the less-than-exciting music.
Blanks, a seven-time World Martial Arts champion, is a superb instructor, providing encouragement and careful instruction
(if you don't know by the end of the tape to hold in your stomach, that's no one's fault but your own). Not only
is Tae-Bo great exercise for all levels, but the punches and kicks are wonderful for working out stress and aggression.
This is the aerobics exercise video for people who are bored by aerobics.

Yoga: A.M./P.M.
Yoga for Beginners Set
Starring: Rodney Yee, Patricia Walden, et al.
This yoga set is perfect for those with busy schedules who need to work in a way to relax. On the a.m. tape, Rodney
Yee takes you through a 15-minute morning yoga set, while Patricia Walden leads a 20-minute evening routine on
the p.m. tape. The a.m. tape was filmed on a beach in Maui at sunrise, providing a soothing background for this
gentle workout. In the morning, Rodney tells us, "the body is rested but stiff from inactivity." The
stretches he demonstrates are designed to increase circulation, improve mobility, and bring clarity to your mind.
The movements are easy to follow (they include a conscious relaxation, the a.m. workout, and a guided meditation),
and the set is short enough that it can be squeezed into the most hectic of morning schedules. The p.m. video was
filmed at sunset in Death Valley. Patricia's yoga set is designed to quiet the mind after the stress of the day
and to help you make the transition from active to quiet. She uses a combination of a centering series, standing
poses, forward bends, and restorative poses to help you ease into night. You will need some firm blankets to sit
on and a yoga strap (although a belt or scarf will serve the same purpose) to perform these movements. Perfect
for the beginner and for the overworked.
