Would think enjoying a low impact exercise is a better choice for overweight or older folks. I don't think folks are into Tae-Bo just cuz it burns calories but cuz it is fun and tones and energizes and increases flexibility and relieves backpain, depression, stress etc etc etc I don't think the average Tae-Bo user weighs just 135 pounds Also, the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn For this sort of study to be effective, they need to take folks who do Tae-Bo at full intensity cuz most other cardiokickboxing videos are walks in the park compared to TB. Let's face it, there are alot of variables like the pace of the work-out, how much walking-out is done, how many reps, form, etc Barb who would rather do an hour of TB than 10 minutes of running and the key to exercising is doing it and to do it, you must enjoy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taebo for me is mentally stimulating as well as physical. I get emotional sometimes during the tapes. Just a feeling of power and strength I guess!! To know I accomplished something so challenging.

Today in my WW meeting, our leader talked about exercise points. Briefly, we get extra points (extra food!) for exercise. No extra points for the first 20 minutes of exercise, and 2 extra points for each additional 20 minutes. Since I had heard all of this before, stupid me left the class early. My co-worker came down after the class was over and told me that the leader gave us an *additional* point for each extra 20 minutes of exercise if we're doing TaeBo because it burns more calories than regular aerobics. While it may not burn 800 calories per hour (that *is* a lot when you think about it), it obviously burns more than normal aerobics. Plus it does a heckuva job of muscle toning if you really focus. And the more toned your muscles are, the higher your metabolism, and the more you burn fat.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2001 Report Share Posted May 31, 2001 Hi, Nikki! < I am having trouble figuring out if I am getting enough calories, protein and carbs a day. . . . 1500 calories a day, 155 g carbs a day and 180 g protein a day...is this right? > Sounds fine, since protein is more important than carbs anyway. A ratio of 50:30:20 would probably be better than the 40:40:20. As for total calories to shoot for, use the calculator at http://www.hussman.com/eas/bmrcalc.htm < Also, I was wondering...is there something wrong with taking too much protein powder a day? > I use protein powder quite a bit myself in a strategic way: a protein- and-oil shake immediately after weight-training, and sometimes before, as well (moderate calories). And if I happen to be in a hurry or can't cart around whole foods if I'm out of the house (although even that's not too hard if you have a good supply of small containers on hand). < I usually have a shake in the morning, and then for meal 2 I have fat free yogurt with a scoop of protein powder mixed in..then for meal 4 another shake then for meal six I make the pudding with the protein powder...Then for meals 3 and 5 I use whole foods and veggies....do you think this is excessive use of the powder? > Probably not.
