Hi,

I was thinking about joining my husband who takes Tae Kwon Do classes. :rambo :boxing:I've been using the ellipticals and the treadmills at the gym everyday at work (5 days/week), but I thought it would be nice to get in some extra workout in the evenings or on the weekends. Just curious if any bandsters are taking Tae Kwon Do classes and if it has helped out with toning and such. I haven't used any free weights yet, so I was wondering if this would help in that way.

Any advice is great! Thanks!

Tae Kwon Do will help immensely with toning, flexibility, and mental focus. Due to my wee-ones (three ages 5 and under) I no longer have the time for TKD, but when was able to attend regularly, it was definitely a wonderful way to get a good workout.

I would like to go back to Tae Kwon Do also. I am worried about getting kicked in the stomach (port/band area). Is there anyone out there who has taken TKD while they had the lap band in place? My doctor says it should be fine, but I worry. I am about 90 days post banding now.
