I credit that to Tae-Bo! Exercising regularly helps me manage stress, which reduces my symptoms. I have also heard that strengthening the abdominal muscles is supposed to help IBS (I am not sure why) and Tae-Bo is great for the abs!!

Though I haven't lost all that much weight according to doctor's scales, I have definitely replaced fat with muscle and have lost girth. Try to ignore the scale when adding muscles gives you the deception of becoming heavier temporarily cuz you are actually working towards using that muscle to become trimmer permanently. It is a slow process and if not patient and focusing on how much better you feel (more energy, more flexibility, less stressful), you can set yourself up for disappointment and quit. Keeping a journal of your feelings after a work-out may help. Hey do an album on your TAe-Bo journey!! IMHO, the best way to start is with a Basic every other day then increase that to 5-6 times a week then maybe slowly add in the floor from an Advanced 2-3 times a week. Also I believe in doing upper body free weights 2-3 times a week for all older women on the all Basic day or on a free day with or without another type of cardio. Barb who knows those only seeking fast results are setting themselves up for failure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2000 Report Share Posted September 11, 2000 > I just have so much energy now. So, I've stopped getting > on the scales...I'm going by how my clothes fit and how I feel inside...the > rest will work itself out Tonya, That is exactly the right attitude! Go by how you feel and how your clothes are fitting (not by what the scale says)! I am 5'9 and weigh anywhere between 150 and 155 lbs, but I can fit into clothes now that before I could only fit into when I weighed 130 lbs! So, it doesn't neccesarily matter how much you weigh on the scale! Concentrate instead on how tae-bo makes you feel inside! When you are truly able to do that and when you say " hey, I'm not doing this cause I want to lose 5, 10, 50 lbs.....I'm doing this cause it makes me feel GOOD and because it is making my healthy and strong " ....that's when all the changes really start to happen! Hang in there! Lots of people gain a few pounds in the beginning, but if you keep at it....you will definitely see results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
