    If you're a woman, lifting heavy won't make you big, but very long and lean. You don't have the testosterone like men do in order to get 'big". If you get bulky it's b/c there is FAT not being lost yet as you build muscle. It take a while to balance out. Lift heavy. And yes, tae bo will help you lose weight if you lift weights 3 days a week in combination.

    TaeBo will help me lose weight *IF* I use it in conjunction with lifting heavy? Now I suppose you'll say that I also have to eat at a deficit. So it the TaeBo working or not? If i have to lift and diet why am I doing the Taebo at all?

    Isn't that like Matt Forte scoring 21 points and me saying "Me and Forte combined for 21 points....".

    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?

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

    Oh, WOW! That's fantastic! I only get like 10-12/minute running. I've been waisting my time!
    Plus, running will make your calves and thighs get big. You will lose your thigh gap and not be able to wear boots.

    Of course it is. All of my points are relevant and important. Especially when it concerns thigh gap and cute boots.

    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, that wasn't very nice. :frown: I'm a highly sensitive person, and that really made my heart hurt. :flowerforyou:

    If you don't have any advice regarding the OP's question then GTFO. She doesn't need you giving her crap when she's asking for help.

    Some friend. Accusing her of trollery and alcoholism when all she wants is some reassurance that she won't get hairy and smelly.

    No.

    stupid question.

    TaeBo will help me lose weight *IF* I use it in conjunction with lifting heavy? Now I suppose you'll say that I also have to eat at a deficit. So it the TaeBo working or not? If i have to lift and diet why am I doing the Taebo at all?

    Isn't that like Kobe Bryant scoring 45 points and me saying "Me and Kobe combined for 45 points...."

    It's almost as bad as referencing basketball when you know everyone rather watch football.

    do whatever you want to do. I'm just telling you what has worked for me. I did tae bo for years and just became a smaller "skinny fat" version of myself. I started lifting weights and I became toned and defined. It may or may not help you lose weight. Not everyone is the same. If you eat too far into a deficit you may not lose anything. Or you'll lose muscle and pack on more fat. If you like being fat, then so be it. Muscle burns fat. Cardio is good to a certain extent, but really is good for your heart.
