    i started my weight losss journey with Tae bo. 7 yr ago i lost 12 kilo. I have a soft spot for billy blanks:)
  • I use to do Tae Bo and loved it but it wasn't challenging enough for me. I never was tired or even sweat and I pushed very hard. I don't know if sweating or being tired are indicators of a good workout.

    Tried to get his number but he awkwardly mumbled something about drinking straws and maggots, then walked away.

    Maybe next time.

    I did his VHS tapes back in '04 and lost 40+ lbs in approximately 6 months along with doing Weight Watchers and Nordic Track Ski Machine (classic). I'm thinking of doing them again as he kicked my @ss literally into the best shape... :smile:

    Ps- which one are you doing?! I found the beginner's tape wasn't challenging enough... I used the advanced (1 hr) 3-4x/wk...

    I do Turbofire, which is pretty much the same, but newer, updated and was made according to the newest science. :D

    I was using Tae Bo Cardio for about a 1-2 months prior to 3 weeks ago and still losing weight up until that point. I plan to go back to it again when I'm bored with the other vids I'm using.
