    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.

    Read These:

    http://www.livestrong.com/article/557657-8-reasons-why-women-should-lift-weights/

    And I promise you, that as long as you lay of testosterone supplements, you won't end up looking like a man or a fitness model. You'll look lean and healthy.

    get back under your bridge, troll!!

    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 You can't do any workouts that are outdated by 15 years or more.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
