Forgive my "2 part" post.

I've been reading and enjoying this thread. Like many of you I discovered the joys of Tae Bo Abs and the Cardio Circuit 1 purely by chance.
In the case of Cardio Circuit 1, what I did to suit my level of fitness was modify my rep counts so I could work up to "Billy-Speed".(his classic eight count) I cut the reps in half and did a four count and concentrateed more on good form. I also found that going a little bit slower was more challenging for my muscles. Years ago in the early days of taebo, I didn't know any better and tried to keep up without good form and hurt myself.
However, about three years ago, I decied to give it a try again; this time with a little caution and now I love Tea Bo as long as I remeber to pace myself as needed.

Well, now that I got that out of the way, here's part 2 of my post.

Anyway, I checked out the link in this thread for the T3 ( Target Tae Bo/ Tae Bo in 10) It looked interesting and I tried to order from it but somehow afterI put all of my order info in and hit submit, all my info disappeared and because of what I've read about the potential customer service issues with Gaiam/Goodtimes I did not take a chance of reding the order them ending ujp with 2 orders and dealing with their customer service to try to clear it up.

I need your advice. What should I do? Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I'd call the 1-800 number listed on that page. I already have T3 and considered ordering just for the elusive Target Tae Bo in that set but I didn't. I wonder if anyone else has ordered from that site? It's a different phone number than the one at BillyBlanks.com.

Not sure if you have one near you, but I bought Taebo Abs for $2.99 at Ocean State Job Lots. If it were closer to me, I'd go and grab you one!! Unfortunately, it is an hour away. I agree, it is an awesome workout.

Hi sjazz78 - I ordered from that site and didn't have any problems at all. I had the DVD in my hands about a week later. I've heard the horror stories also about ordering from Gaiam/Goodtimes, but I've been lucky so far (knocking on wood). I would try calling the 800 number and see if the order took at all.

Good luck,sjazz!!! Just so you know, my girlfriend used to do TaeBo and ordered from that same site numerous times (I just seen her earlier and asked her about it, thinking about your post) and said she never had an issue at all, no over charges, pretty fast shipping (not Mary at totalfitnessdvds fast but within 7-10 days). She advised you call that number and find out what's up. I personally have never ordered from the site you're talking about but my feeling is everything will work out fine Judy

Man, I wish I had an extra copy to pass onto you. This is one of those workouts I wish I had a bunch of money to buy a ton of them and gift people with,seriously It's relatively short (26 minutes) but the music and energy is so high the time just zooms by so fast.
I really hope you will be able to score a copy and I'll keep my eyes out for one for you,too Judy
Okay Judy-I managed to get a copy of this workout. I really hope I like it! I am planning to tack this onto a cardio day or interval day (kettlebells, med balls) since it seems like it might fit well into either workout focus.

Hi Mary,

Did you get it at Ocean State Job Lot recently? I have a few stores
near me, but the closest one has hardly any exercise videos.
Thanks!

Tae Bo Abs + Tae Bo Extreme together for $6.99 at Totalfitnessdvds for the next two days. And Cardio Circuit 1 is $2.99! I remembered this thread and grabbed them right away! (And Rockin' Abs, Buns & Sculpt. And Cardio Circuit 2; is that any good by the way? lol... I mean, there's no point *not* getting the free shipping for >$19, right? Oh, and don't forget the 10off code!)
