Me and Tae Bo

June 30th, 2008

I was thinking about the old days when I used to work out with my cousin and we’d workout to the first released Tae Bo video tapes. This was back when I wasn’t so worried about my physical appearance, but did it to just hang out with my cousin and get fit. Then I was kind of a snob to Tae Bo and didn’t really do it anymore. Fast forward a few years later, I started thinking of really good workout DVDs and I thought about how Tae Bo was a good work out back then and decided to try it out again. As I looked up Tae Bo videos on Amazon I was amazed at how many videos Billy Blanks had made since the first set that I had on VHS. (What’s VHS? LOL)

After looking at the vast selection of Tae Bo videos and read reviews later, I decided to get the Billy Blanks’ Tae-Bo Cardio DVD. It had a lot of good reviews and the workout wasn’t too long, and I wanted another cardio video. The one I got was about 45 minutes and to add some challenge to it, I used some 2 lb. weighted gloves. The work out was fairly challenging, especially with the weighted gloves. I wondered why I wasn’t sweating as much as the people in the video, but then I came to the conclusion they probably crank up the heat in there to make you work harder so you can sweat! That’s just my assumption. Anyway, I enjoyed it and will cycle it as my cardio workouts, along with Turbo Jam of course.
