It felt like I got a good workout- you know, I was tired and broke a good sweat, but I never saw any results. Now I've joined a gym and am much happier with my progress after only 7 weeks!

I was going to begin doing it a few times a week with some others here, but it kind of fizzled out I guess, instead I have taken a lot of the "moves" and incorporated them into some of my boxing bag workout, I enjoy that much better as it feels more like I'm accomplishing something and it feels better hitting something! -------------- Veda MISERY IS OPTIONAL ***When you are up to your ears in trouble, try using the part that is not submerged. ***The difference between a dream and a goal is a plan.

I also do ab workouts, leg workouts, and weight lifting throughout the week. Personally, I really like doing Tae-bo. So far it has kept my interest and I actually dont mind doing it. I am a small girl for my age and dont have much muscle, and the kickboxing makes me feel powerful.

I mean, it adds a lot more challenge, a lot more resistance and by the end of the hour you'll feel like you've spent two hours on taebo. Plus, you're learning the real form, and you can actually make it into a sport :) -------------- The best victories are won not by adversity and brute force.

I really like doing Tae-bo, & it is challenging if you actually take the time to learn how to correctly do the moves & if you push yourself. Anyway, thats what I think about it.

As a switch up to my regular cardio routine, Tae Bo is nice! -------------- \"Inscribe this on the charm that dangles from your navel, girls.
