Tae-Bo Workout by Billy Blanks 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.

Living Yoga - A.M./P.M. Yoga for Beginners Set (1998) Starring: Living Yoga, 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.
Tai Chi Ch'Uan : The Gentle Workout for Mind & Body by Wei Yue Sun, William Chen Tai chi chuan is alternately exercise, dance, religious ritual, life philosophy, and a form of meditation. Here, although the authors touch briefly on the spiritual and philosophical aspects, the exercise component is stressed. As with any form of intelligently undertaken exercise, the health benefits of tai chi can be significant as regards heart condition, blood pressure, stress reduction, and overall flexibility. For each clearly photographed and diagrammed movement, the authors include a description of the body's action, the position of the eyes, a breathing regimen, a mental focus, and the corresponding self-defense application should one choose to concentrate on the martial-art aspect of the exercise. In all, there are 78 separate movements detailed, divided into five sections of ascending difficulty. The appeal of tai chi is that it can be an effective form of low-impact aerobics and that it can be--once the basics are in place--performed alone.
Aerobox Workout (1994) ; aerobic boxing workout video starring Kathy Lee This is a very different kind of workout if you're used to mainly running and aerobics. It's great for an aerobic workout, but works mostly your calves (from jumping rope) and arms, back, and shoulders. It's a nice way to spice up your exercise routine, although the aerobic part could be a little longer. What makes it especially nice is that Kathy Smith can't always keep up with the boxing pro who "runs" the class. Not a lot of talk, and seemingly not a lot of moving around, but you sweat!
Kick Butt (1997) ; kick boxing workout video Personal fitness trainer and kickboxing champion Badrino Kocktane puts the "fun" in the fundamentals of kickboxing as he presents a high-intensity fat burning workout suitable for martial arts neophytes. This tape gives a complete exercise routine! Including a nice warm up, a fast pace routine that includes forms of punching, kicking and squats, it also gives a section on firming, then ends with a nice warm down.
World Championship Thai Kick Boxing: Muay Thai (1990) ; kick boxing video This video is a great example of *REAL* Thai kickboxing; three 5-round title bouts from 1989 (from one of the two stadiums in Bangkok. It may be your only chance to see authentic muay Thai on tape. Definitely worth the price!
