So I've been using running as my form of exercise the past couple weeks since I started my tone-up/diet. But because of weather conditions & now my knee is acting up, I decided to try my old taebo VHS I've had since forever. I actually found a tape I didn't even know I had called the 8 minute taebo workout. I figured I'd give it a shot.


OMG. I was dying by the end of 8 minutes! Holy crap! Then I'm sweating buckets, chugging water & come upstairs to check out how many calories I burned, figuring maybe 50. I went to caloriesbyhour.com & find out I burned 101 calories in 8 minutes! Holy crap! I think I may have to switch running with taebo a few times a week, that's amazing!!

    Taebo is hardcore! I can do a whole hour of Jazzercise with little problem, I can walk and swim for miles, but still I can barely get past the warm up on Taebo without wanting to pass out.

    Hey Guys

    I have the same 8min workout at home and am going to try it out tonight - but how do you document it in your exercise diary? i just searched taebo and nothing came up.

    Thanks Heaps

    Go to www.caloriesperhour.com. They have a calories burned calculator and Tae Bo is on there. This thread made me want to do Tae Bo so I did it tonight. 443 cals burned in 42 minutes!!!

    you can click add an exercise into the database and just add tae bo in. Or I think there is an entry for kickboxing.

    Excellent thanks - 8mins of kickboxing that will look weird but oh well its meant to be a great workout

    I do the Boot Camp Elite. The first DVD is the Getting Started one and goes about 40 min. Here it says over 800 cals, the caloriesperhour says over 700, but HRM says 350 or so. Still a good workout though.

    Tae Bo is in the mfp database

    I hate how the calories are so inaccurate, I'm a very 'exact' kind of person & it bothers me if it's not right!! ahhh!
