    I :heart: Tae-Bo!! You can get them cheap off of Ebay. I have a cardio video that is about 45 minutes long. It incorporates cardio with kick-butt core exercises!
  • just wanted to say thank you to the 2 people out of 1,000 's that are that answered my question..

    lol... :wink: no problem.

    I do swear by Tae Bo. It will kick your butt. I also do the 12 Power Rounds video (Tae Bo). You warm up, and do 10- 60 or 90 second "Power Rounds". Billy Blanks talks about doing that video in the morning to jump start your day, but I do it if I want to squeeze in a good workout into a busy day.

    i'm really into the leslie sansone dvd's. i usually do the 5mi fat burning dvd and with extra work, raising my arms more often, i burn 500 in an hour (acc to hrm).
    i also like her 5 day slim down dvd--with one change: warm up to mile 2 and on and end with mile 1 before cool down. more than an hour of work and 500cals+.

    if you need more intensity, these could be a good 2nd workout of the day.

    I cant vouch for a DVD...I get too bored with them once I learn them...BUT...the elliptical is amazing (usually between 550-600 calories an hour)...just make sure youre paying attention, if the machine does all the work you dont get much out of it.
    or I've heard spinning classes burns A LOT...Im a little too scared to try one lol

    AwMyLoLo: What Tae Bo videos are you talking about? What are they called?
    The next Tae Bo I want to purchase isContact. Its the one where it has the standing bag and you are kicking and punching it. Wal Mart in Canada has it for $30

    I'm not sure of the exact names but the 2 that I do now are like I said the 12 Minute Power Rounds, and the Cardio... Sorry, I will look at them tonight to see what they are actually called.

    I have tried finding DVDs of like just the first ones that came out, Basic and Advanced, because those are the ones we used to do at track practice a lot. I remember them being better than most of the new ones that are out. Anyone have the very first 2 Billy Blanks Tae Bo work outs that he made, and know where to get em?

    thanks!
