    Because I'm too lazy to read through all this......Has Azackery been in here yet?

    No. Still patiently waiting. I continue to hold vigil w/ high hopes by occasionally...(okay, fine, continually)...bumping this thread.

    Keep the dream alive.

    There's a saying with cameras - the best camera is the one you have with you. You're going to get a much better photo with a SLR than an iPhone, but the iPhone is WAAAAY better than no phone at all.

    I think of exercise the same way. I'd say Tae-Bo is more of a pink old-skool Moto RAZR if we want to continue with our metaphor, but hey - if that's what you wanna do, it's way better than sitting on your butt.

    I saw an episode of "The Virgin Diaries" where the 30-something year old virgin that lives in his mom's basement and has a collection of 15 years worth of bellybutton lint in a jar uses 2 shakeweights simultaneously while "working out" on a vibration plate machine.

    so i spent 3 hours last night doing a tie bow and i weighed myself but i didnt lose any weight how does this program work how long does it take is it because my muscle weighs more now

    maybe you were doing it wrong. were you tying bows on just one of your shoes or both, you have to do it evenly.

    I think a bit of wee came out I laughed so hard!

    I read through all 7 pages and I must say that no one actually answered the question. It was just lots of troll comments and mindless advice. I would like to lose weight as well, but I want to look like a man. Should I do Tae-Bo?
    If it won't make you look like a man, than what will? Maybe Chalean Extreme?

    Tae Bo is a strictly cardio workout that involves light resistance work via awkward positioning. As stated, it is primarily cardio, and any cardio workout is great for weight loss, but must be combined with good nutritional practices.

    Tae-Bo will not help you loose weight, it will only help you get big massive bulky muscles.

    Absolutely, I loved doing Tae-bo. At first, I could barely make it through 5 mins but it got easier :-) Good Luck!

    I used Tae-Bo to get back in shape after baby #1 and #2. It works, if you do it regularly and along with a calorie deficit (just like anything else). I recommend that you check it out from the library or try it online before you buy it, some people love it and some don't. Also, if you have 0 martial arts background, you may want to find a source to teach you proper form for kicks and punches - Billy Blanks has a "tutorial" but I wouldn't use what you learn in Tae Bo alone for real self defense :wink:

    That said, though, you won't get a "manly chest" from weight lifting. I have been to a point where I was benching about 70% of my body weight and still had a girly physique.

    You should try pilloxing! I keep telling people but they are not convinced.
