Betty, Welcome to the group! Congratulations on your weight loss! That's incredible! Are you back to your pre-pregnancy weight or do you still want to lose more? What are your goals? I am a SAHM also to Skylar, who is 16 months. I also did WW right after she was born and it was great! I am at my goal weight now and continue to become more and more defined from tae-bo. I am in the best shape I have ever been in my life! There are a few people here who are doing the WW/tae-bo combination....you'll get lots of support with that. There are also a few people from Ohio, I believe! I look forward to hearing more about you and your tae-bo journey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2000 Report Share Posted May 1, 2000 Hi! I am new to Tae-Bo, but not to fitness. I am 49 and have been exercising a long time, and I am one week into Tae Bo and ready to move on to a new level. My question is, I want to order the auto delivery series and am wondering if I should stick to Basic or go for the Advanced one.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2000 Report Share Posted May 1, 2000 >Welcome, Joya! Do you have the studio advanced tape. Thanks, Elena. Would this be the offer that comes with the first set ( a card offering the free 8 minute and the advanced for 29.95?) It does not say studio on it, just advanced?

Is Tae-Bo popular in Honduras? Welcome to the group!! Thanks for the welcome, . Yes, I did the instructional the first day and then the next started on the Basic. The only one I have trouble with is the back kick (my form is awful and I barely can kick!). I was at a gym that offered Tae Bo briefly but it was nothing like the tapes, so no, it has not hit Honduras. I first saw it on the infomercial, but finally made the decision to order from recommendations on another email list that I am on. I really want to rev my metabolism as I am soooo tired of watching what I eat like a hawk, with no results. Thanks, Joya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have the studio advanced tape. Just to be safe, I would recommend that you do that one next before committing yourself to the advanced automatic delivery. That's great that you can do the basic and speed walk. It shows that you are in good cardio shape. There's so much to learn in Taebo. I'm afraid that if you jumped ahead to the advanced live tapes, you might miss some important lessons in form. If you have the studio advanced, try that next. It will give you a great cardio workout and teach you the form and basic moves. Believe me it is still challenging even for those of us who have been doing taebo for a year. The studio advanced class is mostly instructors so you can watch their form and mold yours after theirs. You can still improve your form with the live tapes, but I'd had to see you commit to spending money on tapes that you can't use yet.

Betty, Congratulations on getting back to your pre-pregnancy weight so quickly! That's wonderful! What I have noticed with tae-bo is that I weigh more (because of the muscle I've developed), but I am able to fit into smaller sizes. So, don't get too stressed out about what the number on the scale says or trying to get back to your high school weight, because you may not get there! You may, however, be able to fit into the same size you wore back then! I think you'll be amazed at the changes that start happening to your body! It's really incredible!

It sounds like you are in really good shape! I saw in one of your other messages that you only have the studio basic tape (that's the original tape...we just call it the studio basic because it was done in a studio as opposed to the live ones which are actual classes). I'd try to get the studio advanced and the 8 minute tape. You can usually find these pretty cheap since they are older...you can look on e-bay. If you are wanting to get some of the live tapes, I'd recommend signing up for the basic live series starting with #1 and when you get it....see how you like it and whether it is still easy for you. At that point, if you want to try the advanced....then you can call and switch your subscription to the advanced tapes and then the next tape that you'd get would be Advanced Live volume 1 (AL1). Or, if you are feeling challenged by Basic Live volume 1 (BL1) then you can get basic volume 2 (BL2). Both BL1 and BL2 are excellent tapes. BL1 is a little harder than the studi basic and also has a tiny bit of floorwork at the end. It's a good intermediate tape to do when you're ready for more than the basic, but are still working up to the advanced! Anyway, I look forward to hearing more from you! Tae-bo is a lot of fun and will really change your body! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, now that I know the price, you might want to call the 1-877 number on the back of the basic video tape box and see if you can get it cheaper than that. I know they are selling the live advanced tapes for $19.99 (with Postage and Handling it comes to $24.95). Maybe they are selling the studio advanced for the same price now. If not, it probably wouldn't hurt to start your live collection with advanced live volume I (AL1). You'll save an additional $5.00 by ordering it with the automatic delivery. I wonder if they will send you tapes in Honduras? I hope so. AL1 will teach you a lot, too. Elena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 1, 2000 Report Share Posted May 1, 2000 I know what you mean . I was getting kinda upset for awhile because I wasnt losing weight as quickly as I wanted to (dont we all want it to hapen overnight?). But when I started taking my measurements and realized I've gone from a size 16 in January to a 12 that is getting loose on me know, I'm much happier with my results. I think it's is really due to the taebo, my legs/butt are so much firmer than when I started I'm sure the taebo is adding more muscle which is why I'm not showing more of a weight loss. betty --- Owens wrote: > > > , yes I'm at my prepregnancy weight now, > but I > > had gained a little before I got prego.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2000 Report Share Posted May 3, 2000 Elena, My DH is going up to the states tomorrow so he can call the 1-877 number and find out if I can get the tape cheaper. Can he go ahead and make the automatic order there or should I do that on the internet? Thanks, Joya >Yes, that's it, Joya!
