Guest guest Posted January 1, 2000 Report Share Posted January 1, 2000 The best changes that Tae-Bo has brought me in 1999 is: endurance, strength, confidence, and I now look forward to shopping for clothes and taking my time. For 2000: I want to continue this 1999 journey and finish firming up.

Taebo gave me something I could stick to exercise wise. It also gave me a good measure to compare my other workouts. When I do something else I often find myself saying...I really can work harder than this..if I had been Tae bo-ing I would be dripping in sweat right now. It also gave me thighs and biceps I can be proud of....even if the other areas still need work. What changes do you hope for in 2000? I want to be able to eat healthy without having to make a tremendous effort. I don't think this is unrealistic. Some women can go out to the same resteraunts I do..or eat at home and naturally make the rights choices and control their portions. Thats what I want. If I can do that I think the rest of my goals will fall into place quickly (flat abs, toned fat free back and rear, and a smaller chest (even just a little bit)) Also, it's brag time ladies!!

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2000 Report Share Posted January 1, 2000 <<This week's awesome question comes from Barb! What was the best change Tae-Bo brought to you in 1999? What changes do you hope for in 2000? Also, it's brag time ladies!! Let's hear em!!>> Hi Everyone! Well, the biggest change that i've seen is my energy and stamina levels. I can't believe how far i've come! Before i would be out of breath right away and i was having all kinds of health problems and now i feel great! I can run around with my kids for a long time and do housework non stop for hours. For the year 2000 i hope to tone up more and stay toned and lose the rest of the weight that i have to lose. I'm also hoping to keep a healthy eating pattern all through the year. colors ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

A new and improved perspective about aging. I was 44 when I started Tae-Bo in March..and thought the best life had to offer was behind me.

Keep it up!! > , Great question..and I'll bet you get as many different opinions as you get replies..which is what makes this group work so well. Everyone is so different...so there is no one way..but a combination of experiences provides people with new ideas. My advise would be to TAKE YOUR TIME WITH THE INSTRUCTIONAL. Buy 's book. Understand that everyones bodies respond differently..so go at your own pace. Use good judgement. And find a group of supportive people..like this list. And do it for yourself.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2000 Report Share Posted January 8, 2000 Question of the week >What advise would you give someone just starting Tae-Bo? Spend enough time with the instructional to where you feel comfortable doing the moves (at least view it once) and then move on to the basic. I'd also advise getting the Basic Live 1, just so they can have a tape to alternate with Studio Basic and to show them how much fun the Live classes are. I'd also recommend 's book because it gives really good descriptions of the different moves. Definitely, move and your own pace and if you can't do double time, don't do it. Don't feel pressured to keep up with the pace of the tape, just do what you can and listen to your body! who loves the questions of the week because it's always so interesting to read everyone's different responses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before I started Taebo I was still in a Marching band and got a ton of exercise there. I also did aerboics 4-5 days a week with strength training mixed in intermittently. If I hadn't started Taebo I probably be pretty bored and less enthusiastic about exercise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one I stuck with for a short while, was step aerobics. Otherwise, I was always just lazy and found excuse after excuse. That is why you will always here me saying that tae-bo has changed my life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, what kind of exercise did you do before Tae-Bo? > > > > , I would still be doing t'ai chi..but that is more of a moving meditation and not aerobic. Walking, but only in the summer. Basically not much because I was never fitness concious..when I was younger I didn't have a problem with weight..I was active but didn't think about the fitness aspect of it..just did things I enjoyed to do..horseback riding, hiking, dancing. I have said this before..but when I started Tae-Bo it was to learn to move like the people on the infomercials. I didn't have a clue that I would lose weight and build muscle or strengthen. I really believed that the weight I gained was genetic and my destiny...I guess you could call it. My mom told me for years that she was thin when she was young and at 40 it catches up with you and is downhill after that..I accepted it. So I strongly doubt that I would be doing any kind of an exercise program..they never interested me. -who knows Tae-Bo was a lifeline for me.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2000 Report Share Posted January 26, 2000 The most ridiculous fad diet? Well, lets see. I"ve considered a few, but never tried any for more than a couple of days. I'd say, the most ridiculous fad I've tried is dexatrim, long ago, when it was still loaded with caffeine. Oh, it worked but I was shaking in my boots! I have also tried the Cabbage Soup Diet. It wasn't a total loss (no pun intended!). I use the recipe for a great minestrone base. It really was very tasty. And the only reason I don't completely think its ridiculous is I know a doctor who tried it, lost 17 pounds in one week, and KEPT IT OFF. (Course, he changed his eating habits too after that week). He was the only reason I tried it to begin with. I lasted about 2 days. Re: Question of the weekGosh, , I honestly can't think of any diet that I would have considered a fad. I'll have to think about this one. I'm usually always getting on my mom or my little sister for going on really silly diets, like the cabbage soup diet.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2000 Report Share Posted January 26, 2000 The cabbage soup diet that I was on let you eat different things each day. LIke one day you could have as many bananas as you wanted, and another day, you were supposed to eat several ounces of meat. It really was ridiculus I don't like cabbage, so I made the soup but without cabbage in it. It was really really really tasty! I'll have to find the recipe and post it. If you add some pasta and some beans, you have minestrone!!! And it was better than some of the minestrone I've eaten at restaurants.
