Welcome Kerri! Nice to have you with us. I don't have many of the live basic

tapes, but of the ones I do have, I really like 2,4, and 7.

Kerri, Welcome to the group!

There are a bunch of Live Basic tapes that you can purchase from www.taebo.com

or looking for on e-bay. Till then you can spice up your workout by doing Taebo

for a few minutes and then adding some weights (to the rest of the group-no, I'm

not plagerizing I knew about interval training)more taebo more tapes and work up

to a 45 minute workout. This will really speed up the toning. You might try

looking at some weight lifting books to get an idea of the types of exercises. I

use Body for Life by Bill and Joyce Vedrel's 12-minute a day workout.

I use heavier weights than Dr. Vedrel reccomends 15lb vs. 5lb 12lb vs. 3lb etc.

because it tones the muscle more efficiently and does not add bulk. Don't worry

about your weight because you might add on to it by building muscle but you will

look thinner.

Now some background. I am 33 years old. I'm 5'6 " and 127 pounds.

Although I'm not really overweight (like everyone, I'd like to be a

little thinner), I definitely want to be more toned and defined

whether I get thinner or not.

I look forward to learning from all of you on this list.

> Welcome, Kerri. Glad to have you here. You will definitely get

more toned and defined from taebo. Taebo completely changes your

body

and makes you so much stronger. One way to build up to the advanced

(which was hard for all of us when we started) is to start adding the

floor work from the advanced to the basic tape. You can also do the

advanced up to the floor work and stop. It's OK to modify the tapes

and moves. recommends it in the tapes and in his book " The

Taebo Way. " Do you have the live version of the tapes or the studio

version? The live tape has real people, not just instructors. It

also has real songs with lyrics and the class sizes are bigger. I'm

asking because the basic in the live version 4-pack is a real good

tape if you don't already have it. A lot of people try live basic

tapes after conquering the studio basic and before moving on to

advanced tapes. It helps the transition. Other good live basic

tapes

are BL1, BL2, and my current favorite BL7 ( it has great music).

Hi Kerri,

Welcome, glad to have you here.

Hi Kerri!

Welcome to the group!

A good way to " graduate " up to the advanced tape is to add the 8-

minute tape after the basic workout. It's a faster paced workout

like the advanced and can help you gradually build your stamina. All

of the live tapes are wonderful. BL 2 & 3 are good ones to start out

with as well as BL1 (you may not get the older version of BL1 like we

all have as they are new distributing a newer version of it).

If you're looking to tone-up, Tae-Bo is the thing that will do it for

you without bulking up. You'll tone your whole body, not just in

certain spots, which is the thing I love about Tae-Bo.

Hi Kerri... I am pretty new as well. My husband bought me the tapes a

while back and I got into them for a while and then I don't know what

happened. I think I got sick and just never really got back to it

like I was doing before. I know it makes me feel Great!! I am hoping

to lose about 50 pounds and with all the motivation and inspirational

stories in this group I think I will definately make it to my goal!!

I wish you the very best and Keep pushing play!!! ;-)

Melynda, I forgot to wish you " welcome. " (I was sorta in shock from

a rather bizarre trip out of town when I read posts and sporadically

responded last night.)

Welcome to the group Kerri

I'm sure you'll get good advice on tapes and I hope you'll enjoy the

group and make new friends here - keep up the good work.

Kerri,

Welcome to the group! I'm glad you decided to join us I don't

really think you have any weight to lose neccesarily (according the

the WW guidelines, at 5'6 the minimum weight for all adults is 124,

which is right about where you are), you may just need to tone your

muscles to give you that " fit " look! Tae-Bo will definitely help you

get more muscle definition and you can definitely get that toned and

defined look! As for tape suggestions, if you can afford it, I would

recommend getting on the basic automatic monthly delivery which gives

you a new tape every month and you save $5. After you get a few new

tapes, you can either switch your subscription to advanced tapes or

cancel your subscription until you are ready for more tapes! Having

a variety of tapes will really help keep you motivated

Thanks so much for your reply and information--especially since you

were the only one that responded . I was hoping for more feedback. I

am also wanting to hear from people who hhave tried these types of

things with older kids, teenagers, or young adults, and the results.

After all of these years, I'm still not willing to let my 23 year old

son live an OK life when I know he can have a much better and

hopefully more fulfilling life with friends.
