I only had the basic when I started and as soon as I could get through it without almost dying I was ready for something more. I'm not the brightest, am I? Ha! Like you said, everyone varies... just go with how you feel. You can always TRY the advanced... if you're not ready then go back to the basic for a little while longer. A lot of people start out doing half of the advanced... or even 15 minutes. Good luck! Jenni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 28, 2002 Report Share Posted January 28, 2002 Hi Everyone, I was wondering if you could please tell me how long a person ( on average) should practice the Taebo BASIC tapes before going on to the advanced. I know that everyone differs but I am just curious to find out what most people have done. I would really appreciate your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have to say in my case 3 months. Even though I'd rather do an advanced tape now, I still do a basic tape when I'm pressed by time.

Try it, and give it all you've got, and if you can't get through it, no big deal. I did the Advanced last week and i was only able to get through about 28 and a half minutes of it, but I had a GREAT workout. So give it a try if you want, but don't get discouraged if you can't do it. The advanced is hard! But it will make you feel great even if you only get through a little of it!

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2002 Report Share Posted January 28, 2002 I was doing the orginal basic tape for about six months before I moved on to the advance tape. Now I just wished I would have did the instructional tape more often. A gal told me the other night that she has a friend that teaches kick boxing and that she said Taebo is really bad for you - it goes too fast. I just told her that you have to do the instructional tape until get your form down and go at your own speed. But a part of that is true - the advance tapes go faster - and maybe not faster but since it's a longer tape, it seems that way. It is important that your form is correct before you even try to keep up with them. le Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's supposed to be basic level kickboxing, but it goes as fast as taebo. I've seen a couple of kickboxing neophytes there, and they have been really struggling with this class, as I am (and I consider myself pretty experienced).

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2002 Report Share Posted January 29, 2002 I didn't establish a timeline. Once I had mastered the basic tapes (able to complete each tape without stopping or getting too tired), I moved on to the Advanced. Even then, I started out with once or twice per week.
