    I lost 96 lbs doing Tae Bo about 10 years ago. Regained it quickly when I lost interest.

    OH MY GOD YOU TROLLS-

    Firstly, you said "I dont want to get bulky". Honestly, who do you think you are? Arnold-freaking-swartzeneger? Give me a break! Women who get bulky train HARD, for YEARS, have higher levels of TESTOSTERONE, and DONT GET THAT WAY ON ACCIDENT. You absolutely DO NOT get "bulky" from lifting weights. This idea is both stupid and completely wrong. This is why you've gotten all the hilarious replies.

    secondly, ANY program in which you are burning calories and creating a caloric deficit will result in weight loss. Although i'd like to mention that you'd be right on your way to Skinny Fat.

    And no one thinks skinny fat is attractive. Trust me. :)

    Wow, you're mean. Why are the forums so mean?

    Don't worry your pretty little head about her, honey. Some people just come onto the internet to spew their meanness all over everyone else. Skinny Fatness turns me on.

    Haters gonna hate.

    You will not get a manly body from lifting heavy.

    But yes you can lose weight with Tae-Bo. You can lose weight with any workout program as long as you have a calorie deficit.

    I'm pretty sure you're wrong about this. I've seen pictures of women after TaeBo and it was just.....let's just say I'd rather not sleep next to a female version of Billy Blanks.

    And she won't lose weight unless she removes glutens from her diet. And ice cream. No one loses weight if they eat glutens and ice cream.

    Thanks. I like your Meph ticker btw. Have a bunch of different vintages aging in the cellar currently...

    I only have a 2010 and a 2011 right now. But if you tell me where you live and what time you're not home I feel certain that I will have "a bunch of different vintages aging in the cellar currently..."

    Do you want to just have tonef muscles or do you want to get bulked up. I used Tae-Bo years ago before he came out with that military style that I could not keep up with. But what I had didn't bulk me up, it toned up my muscles. Even with cardio you need some toning exercises. Think about if you want to be toned or bulked and then I know you can make the right decision. In my opinion, there is a difference of between bulked like the body builders which I think is wayyyyyyyyyyyy to bulk or being bulked like Ryan Gossling....or the other hunks out there. I prefer Ryan Gossling and other hunks out there...hahahahaha.

    90% of the people in this thread are trolling.

    You'll lose weight and get toned with Tae-bo if you also keep a calorie deficit. As for the heavy lifting, women do not naturally build muscle like men do. All the pictures of the ultra-fit women with 6-pack abs and huge biceps on Pinterest are fitness models who devote their entire lives to looking like that. They either have naturally high amounts of testosterone (which is RARE), or they take supplements to help them build muscle mass like that.

    So there is a 90% chance you are a troll as well.

    Tae Bo is the best toning workout ever! Like you, I was afraid of developing a manly chest. Heck, I've heard women who lift weights can even get HAIR on their chests. Ew!
    i dont think its possible for lifting weights to cause you to grow hair on your chest. i'm pretty sure only hormones can do that.

    If you want to look like Billy Blanks, go ahead and Tae-Bo. If you just want to tone, then I suggest some water aerobics. Being in the water is better on your joints and won't create muscle mass, only tighten the muscles you already have.

    Research shows that when you're under water you are entering a different dimension called the aquatic-dimensionpsysism. In this dimension gravity does not exist. Also this causes mermaid to be able to swim pretty fast and not be seen by the human eye. Fairies also live in this dimension. then only reason us humans cant see these creatures is simply because we can't breath underwater. Cohesive and adhesive are also 2 properties of water. (Source: Yahoo! Answers)

    Also, if you exercise in water, you only have to eat back the carb calories you burned and not the protein calories because you are so light underwater it only uses the energy calories like carb calories and not the muscle building calories like protein calories.

    Yeah, this all true! I've heard this also!

    Seriously people, can we stay on topic?

    I considered using Tae-Bo to tone, but then the Shakeweight came out and I heard that it's at least 50% more effective for toning. Has anyone else heard this?

    Op, Tae Bo is awesome!

    And to those nay sayers, you can totally get bulky lifting, how else do you think body builders get bulky, take juice and sit on their butts all days?

    ETA: NO!!! Tae-Bo is soooo 90s!!! You can't do any workouts that are outdated by 15 years or more. And you can never eat carbs.

    There is no wine in that picture. It's all beer. I keep it in wine cases to keep the light and dust off of it, plus for organizational purposes. There's at least 600 beers down there.

    You will not get big bulky muscles. It is not in your DNA . You are a woman, what you will find will be tight curves! Plus muscle burns more calories at rest than fat does. To get big bulky, you would need to take testosterone and/or steroids. So work out and enjoy!!

    How many calories do you think Tae-Bo can burn? It's pretty intense, 800ish?

    well Sara, my friend has cases of a wide variety of wine. As well as many many individual bottles from numerous decades. Wide variety of aged scotch and other liquors including King Louis 13. Should I tell him you're interested?

    It depends on how loudly you scream as you perform the moves.

    At least 2,000. It burns, like, 20 calories a minute.

    Shakeweight is 16

    ETA: No I was wrong, apparently it's up to 90 calories in 5 minutes (but you should use an HRM to make sure): http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/280168-shake-weight-calories-burned?hl=shake+weight#posts-10183792
