I do BL1, 2 & 3 alternated with the Studio Advanced, AL1 and AL2. I sort of ignore the Studio Basic & throw it in when I feel pumped after a BL work-out and want more. The 8 minute one is when I feel very sluggish to pump me up when I do not want to take a shower. Barb who wonders what my sequence will be when I get AL3 delivered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 29, 1999 Report Share Posted October 29, 1999 Ok, I got up and pushed play! I did my BL1 again today. That is sure a workout. And I saw TQ!! How is BL2? Do you guys like it as much as BL1? Also, a question about dietwatch...I tried it but I couldn't figure out how to get it to calculate what my daily needs should be. Any suggestions?

Guest guest Posted October 29, 1999 Report Share Posted October 29, 1999 Thanks, now I just have to clarify this...and I know you are all going to enjoy laughing at me because you all were talking about this before... I put my goal weight in. And I am setting my exercise goal fro 4x/week. The recommended calorie intake was 1904 cal/day. That IS to LOSE weight, right?? Not to maintain?? I think I like that dietwatch site!! 1900 calories to lose weight?? Yippee!

Guest guest Posted October 29, 1999 Report Share Posted October 29, 1999 Isn't Tae Bo 4x/week considered " active " ? How do you find the definitions. Even if I choose " lightly active " the rec. calories is 1786. Re: Hi all >At 08:24 AM 10/29/1999 -0700, wrote: > >>I put my goal weight in.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 1999 Report Share Posted October 29, 1999 I think you are right about it being personal opinion, although I emailed diet watch to get their opinion. I'd be interested in how everyone else also defines these... Here is how I defined the various categories: very sedentary: someone who lives alone, has no kids and doesn't need to work, who basically sits all day. sedentary: Someone who has a desk job and then comes home and watches tv most of the evening. Add in getting groceries and carrying them into the house, and light housework. Lightly active: someone who regulary gardens, carries groceries, vaccuums, dusts, moves furniture, walks leisurely...and has SEX!! Active: Someone who does the above, and also exercises at least 3-5x/week for at least 30 minutes with a planned exercise program. Very Active: (Minimum) Someone who does all of the " light activity " activities, and also exercises at least 6x/week using moderate plus weight training, or 3-5x/week using strenuous activity and weight training. I consider Basic Tae Bo to be moderate, because you use large muscle groups, And Advanced Tae Bo to be strenuous because the speed/intensity are increased significantly from Basic. It also emphasizes interval training (heavy bursts of activity althernated with rest periods).

Guest guest Posted October 30, 1999 Report Share Posted October 30, 1999 Sorry..but I totally disgaree. I think your idea of light activity is way off the mark. Doing Tae Bo advanced 6 times a week would be considered highly active I believe. Of course this is my opinion... > I don't think " light " is indicative of the quality/intensity of the > activity. I think it indicates the quantity/amount of activity. > > For instance, doing an hour of TaeBo 6x/week would be considered " light " > compared to someone who hikes, plays basketball, bikes, runs 5 miles/day, > lifts weights, swims laps, etc. Some people really do lead active > lifestyles and incorporate exercise such as this in their everyday lives. > Take a young boy who plays basketball for hours every day when school is > out in the summer. *That's* active.
