hiya j! thankyou so much for your opinion on this workout. i would really

love to hear lots of opinions on the new 2004 set.... i havent heard much

about it at all which surprises me! i am very curious about the weighted

balls and what billy does with them. im also really curious about the

workout in the set that doesnt use the balls at all -- im wondering at what

level the cardio is (beginner/intermediate/advanced)?

today i did ABS & GLUTES (and then some hi/lo aerobics and then a 30 min

stretch). ive had this workout for a long time and have done it soooo many

times and while it is certainly easier to do than it used to be, it still is

a good workout for me. i will know tomorrow if billy managed to kick my

butt again (if my abs/butt are sore, then i will know

> Water, I need Water, badly...

i manage to chug back 24-32 ounces of water every day while i workout.

dont you drink during your workouts?

Overall, from what I've seen and done, I really am impressed with the '04

series, I know that Collage Video got some pretty bad reviews, hey that's fine,

it'd be kind of boring if we all agreed on the same thing. It seems that

is more intent on toning and sculpting, than just the cardio, which is what I

need. I get a lot of cardio walking in the mornings, but I really need to focus

on my form.

So far, I'm impressed, and sore.

By the Way, I do drink anywhere from 24-32 oz water during workouts, it was just

my (apparently) lame attempt at humor.

Yes, I was wondering what that would do as well. Thinking 1/2 pound wouldn't do much. But you definitely can feel and tell the difference. After doing those workouts with the ball, I did a different one without the balls and my punches felt so different afterwards.

I'd put it as a midway between basic and intermediate. Not as difficult as an intermediate workout,but still not a basic. Actually to me, it's easier than the basics. I say this, because of the intensity and pace of the basics we're used to. But someone new to Tae Bo, might find it harder. I dunno. I still like them, for the "easy" days and all. The pace and all is similar to cardio and flex, but the balls is what makes the difference.

He used the balls in Power and Strength. He doesn't use it in Energy.

He has you squeeze the ball when you execute the moves. So like at the point of contact during the punches. It's not a hard squeeze, just enough feel it. So you really couldn't use hand weights in place of it, since he has us squeezing the ball during these moves.

My water consumption varies, I think my hydration level plays into it as well. Some of the higher cardio workouts, I finish my bottle and then could use more. Some I barely touch my water and others, I get maybe half way. I use a 32 oz. water bottle. I know has said that as your cardio level keeps getting better and better, you'll find that you don't need to have water at all during your workouts. says he doesn't drink water at all during his workouts and I've never seen him. I know he's not fond of water in his combat classes (at least he was that way a few years back). knows first hand about that.

thanks sandie! i guess you would call that a 'high beginner/low

intermediate'.

ok, good. this is the info that i am looking for. if ENERGY is similar to

CARDIO and FLEX then i dont need it (since i do have CARDIO and FLEX

> I know has said that as your cardio level keeps getting better and

well, i dunno about billy but i do think that i will continue to want water

when i workout. i have always drank water before, during and after and

cant see that changing much. i can see billy and shellie not needing water

for a 30 or 45 minute workout but me?? nope.. i gotta have drinks!

especially while doing cardio. ive wondered about some of the other

people in the workouts though and how they manage to make it through while

dry. certainly they are not at the same fitness level as billy and shellie

and julieann, etc. it just doesnt seem healthy to me to not drink water

when i need it, ya know? sometimes my mouth gets so dry while working out

that i cant swallow (and i do drink 16 ounces of water before starting my

workout each day). i guess i do alot of mouth-breathing. ::shrug::

oh yeah! amanda did tell us about that. i dunno... i do suppose that billy

would feel that i was stopping too much to drink but i dont feel that i do

it to be lazy. basically i avoid over-exerting so that i dont cause an

asthma attack...lol... and if im going to walk around the kitchen and im

thirsty then i might as well have a drink while im doing it. its a good

thing that billy is not really here with me, eh? heehee.

ahhh, ok. thanks jerry! i am used to using taebo for high intensity

cardio... i get my toning/sculpting from other sources (weighted workouts

like the firm and kathy smith and slim series, etc)... so im kinda bummed

that billy has slowed the pace down and is using these little weights. oh

well! i have lots of other taebo videos to use for cardio so it really isnt

that big of a deal. i am thrilled that you are enjoying the workouts!!

keep up the good work!

Yes, that's how I am. I have made it through a live workout without water, but can't see doing it very often. During tapings, I always had to stop for water.

I think the folks who gave it the bad reviews are used to the "killer" cardio we're all used to from the Live! series. But we've been asking for years for weight training and now that we finally have it, some folks don't want it. But I do like the slower pace and weight/resistance focus. No matter what, I'm always going to get everyone of them and will do them. Some will be my absolute favorites, while others I won't like, but will do it in my rotation at some point. I try to keep my favorites for last, otherwise I'll keep doing them over and over. But I mark them off after I've done them. I still have a few to do, to complete my notes, but once I'm done, then I'll restart my rotation.

Is there any actual workout on the foundation tape or is it all instruction? I

know I should probably do that one first, but I get very few chances to

actually workout during the day. I could sit and watch it while I feed the baby.

I

might do that sometime today.

Hey ,

A year ago I stopped TaeBo'ing when I joined a health club, turned out to be the

BEST thing that ever happened to me!! Why, because it made me realize that I was

taking this awesome feeling for granted, the day I started back, wasn't easy,

but the smile appeared soon thereafter.

Don't worry about the weight, as you said, you did it once, you'll do it again,

I'm banking on you, don't let me down...:-) I'm watching...:-) Now go kick some

but, it's not that you CAN do it, you WILL do it.

Best,

J-Lo

February 23, 2004

The Foundation tape had me breaking a sweat, mainly because it was my first time

back, as it looks like it will be yours as well, I think you'll find it not

challenging, but a good way to get the body going.

Good luck
