I worked up to the advance tapes by moving from the Orginal Basic, to the

live basics (which, IMHO, are a bit harder), to doing 2 live basics in a row,

and THEN doing an advanced tape. Also, I modify the advance to my level.

Good luck and welcome!

welcome to the group!!!!!

I think you have a great method of working up to the advanced but don't push

yourself just yet. Take the time to realy practice on the form. If you are just

starting out after not working out for a while that'll sufficiently boost your

metabolism for a while. Might as well take advantage of the shorter workouts

while you can!!!! When you feel ready why not do basic and then add in 5-10

minutes of an advanced tape and then work up to 30 minutes basic, 30 minutes

advanced and then do all Advanced with modifications taking out those

modications as you feel more comftorable.

But I can not stress enough take your time to learn the fundementals. You'll get

a bigger pay off on your time investment.

OK...when I get my instructional tape back I am going to insititute a challenge

in particular week for all those willing to review a little bit of the

instructional in installments over three days periods of time.

<< Hi all,

Joined this list a few days ago & have been reading all the posts. I am

a 38 year old SAHM of 2 and am determined to be fit by 40! I began an

exercise program this month after being a " computer potatoe " . ;~)

Before the kids-- was a step aerobics instructor at a health club &

lifted weights etc. Now , I have 30 pounds to lose, and am motivated. I

bought the Tae Bo tapes and love them. I have been doing the 21 day

challenge and am on day 7--Yesterday , bought the advanced tape & tried it

today. MERCY!!!! I tried all the sets made it @25 minutes through & then

stuck through a set of most of the rest.

My question is-- What has worked for you & how do I work up to do the

advanced? Any ideas? The advanced tape about did me in & I sure did not

finish 1/2 of it.

Thanks in advance for your answers!

Welcome ! You are our third or fourth !! You can work up to the

advanced by doing the basic and slowly adding on more to your workouts. Like

maybe do the basic and the 8 minute together. Or the basic and the floorwork

from the advanced. Whatever you decide to do, make sure you have gone thru

that instructional many times!! Welcome again!!

Welcome, ! First what does SAHM stand for? Your question cracked me up

because everyone has trouble when they first try the advanced tape. It is

tough! Getting through the tape the first time like you did is impressive.

Do you know if you have the studio or the live tape? The live tape is a

large class with a lot of regular people and also regular music (songs with

lyrics). With either the studio or live advanced tape, you can add the floor

work to your basic workout until you are ready for the entire advanced tape.

You can also add the 8 minute tape (if you have it) to the basic tape to

increase your stamina. Another trick is what you did -- modify the moves

(ex., by doing just one set of each move or doing the moves in regular rather

than double time) in the advanced tapes. You are doing great! Hang in

there! You can read more about each of us and see some of our pictures by

going to our vault site at http://taeboon.isportsdot.com/

*Oh no another * *LOL*

But seriously Welcome

I hope you'll enjoy the group - I wanted to be fit by 40 (got part

way there but as you learn from Taebo it's a journey of a lifetime

without an end... you'll have loads more time than I did (they only

releases Taebo over here in Jan!! I was 40 in June) so we'll expect

lots of photos in a couple of years

who apologises in advance for when I get 's confused..
