Re: Tae Bo Impact

[Guest guest]

I thought they were going to make Taebo impact a 4-pack set like the others.

Hmmmm...I might have to call the 1-800 number. I will report back.

<< ,

WAAAAAHOOOO! I have my new standing bag and I am ready! Do you have

any other info? On B & N's website there indicates a 2 pack or a

single VHS tape. Seems the 2pack is being released Jan.9 while the

single tape has a Feb 6 date. Do you think the 2 pack includes an

instructional tape?

I figure that maybe you have special ways to find out inside info?!

Thanks.

I just called the 1-800 number and they no nothing about the Taebo impact. So

I guess you have to wait until that date to call.

Who wonders if it would be cheaper to order them all together after the

advanced is released.....but can she wait?

[Guest guest]

Have any of you taken an impact class?

LOL, I have. A few of us took Impact out in CA. It is a killer workout. I imagine it is a little easier without breathing down your neck, LOL!

the bag is great for giving kicks a target. It helped my roundhouse

tremendously to actually land a kick. BTW I just have the cheapest one with

the low base which is better for me when I want to kick low which is most of

the time cuz I'm short LOL

as far as punching, with the right gloves, you may be able to punch just not

with as much power to avoid aggravating your carpal tunnel syndrome

Thanks in advance! Terri in NC

In NC?? Where in NC? Welcome to the group!!! Impact is basically Tae-Bo with a standing bag. You punch and kick the bag, work on technique, etc. It is a lot more intense that Tae-bo. I love it.

[Guest guest]

How is the workout different? Why did you like it better? You know, inquiring minds want to know.

Well, it brings a whole new dimension to the workout when you are landing punches and kicks. You have to really focus on what you are doing or you could get hurt. Impact is really intense. I like it better because there is less of the fancy footwork that trips me up in Tae-Bo. Impact is a lot closer to boxing, I think that is why I like it so much. The class almost killed me, but I'll bet the tapes won't be quite as bad! LOL! who is having a hard time explaining Impact...someone may do it better, LOL!

Of course, I could just do the Advanced and Basic series but would love to

Colleen, I also have Carpal Tunnel (Thanks to being a flutist) and the bag

doesn't aggravate me as much anymore. I don't know if you use a brace at all,

but I wore mine when I first started to Taebo to really help me with the

correct angle, now it seems as if my wrists and forearms don't absorb any of

the shock at all, mostly It is absorbed in the biceps, shoulders and back.

Maybe try throwing a few light punches that way to see if it helps. If not

you could definitely use the bag just for punches. Sometimes I line my body

up right with the bag and punch left hand to right side of bag (not hitting

bag) and vice versa to make sure my punches are going across my body.

May I answer this one too??? The workout is more self-defense orientated. But

I also want to say that it is more " raw " and I don't know if that will make

sense to anyone else. It feels good because it is like an innate human

impulse to obliterate something. Instead of hitting air you are hitting a

heavy bag or pad that gives in to your strength. My mind was almost in this

battle ready state and I was mentally much more involved in the workout.

Colleen,

I strongly suggest you visit some sporting goods stores like Sports Authority

and try the various gloves on because of your condition. Also you may find

the wavemaster there for just $99 which is the same as the medium sized

Tae-Bo standing bag.

Barb

who got the cheapest smallest bag cuz of its lower base for lower kicks

[Guest guest]

Colleen, Totally NOT dumb questions. My suggestion would be to go to an

Oshman's or other sports equipment dealer and look at all the bags there and

try them out. Even if you don't buy one there it will give you an idea. I

think buying one there might be cheaper than through Taebo because shipping

can be terribly expensive. I bought my bag at a flea market and I have seen a

few others at flea markets in the papers, recycled sports stores etc. You'd

want to get a free standing bag most likely but the other decisions are

pretty much personal preference. Mine has a base that fills with water and I

am in LOVE with it. I have a century Wavemaster. They make the bags with the

Taebo name on it. (you basically pay for the name). YES! Use gloves,

especially with your Carpal Tunnel. I use to use wraps with the big bulky

boxing gloves, they actually aggravated my arms more then the small

fingerless gloves with wrist wrap on it. I think this is because it is easier

for me to control the punch and the glove pretty much forces you to use the

correct hand positioning.

<< Thanks! It sounds like I can adjust and I still have hope that one day I

will be 100% again...as I am slowly getting better. So...what bag do I put

on my Christmas list...or birthday list..my birthday is the day after the

release so I hope you guys have time for some reviews after you get the

tapes <G>. I've already finagled a way to convert one of the already full

spare bedrooms into a Taebo room with some creative maneuvering and we are

moving within the year (but hopefully sooner!) and I already have " dibs " on

a workout room <G> big enough for Taebo.

Do all the bags work for impact? Do you guys have a particular bag you

prefer? And this is a really dumb question, but do you wear gloves?

Thanks for answering all the questions...I think I'm definitely addicted

now!

Woooo Hoooo....what we've all been waiting for It is actually

mentioned on the Tae-Bo Website as of sometime today! The new and

improved Tae-Bo website is up and running now and they mention that

Tae-Bo Impact will be available as of January 9th under " News and

Events " . There is also an article about the Training Camps and a link

that lists all the certified Tae-Bo Instructors from both of the

Training Camps Pretty neat!

So what exactly is Taebo impact? Is it both kicking and punching? What bag

do you need to buy for it? I checked out the web site and there were a few

different bags. Have any of you taken an impact class?

I have carpal tunnel so punching is a big 'no no' for me...well without

excruciating pain anyway <G>. Is there would be a way to modify the

punching so you don't hit the bag but still use it for kicks and still get a

good workout?

Of course, I could just do the Advanced and Basic series but would love to

try something new also.
