I've used the Taebo tapes before with great success. I just had to keep upping my amount until I couldn't keep up with it anymore, and I burned out, gained all the weight back.

Now that I'm banded, I'm hoping I can just exercise once a day 3-4 days a week.

I love Taebo, because the moves are not too complicated or like "dance". I am very uncoordinated and regular aerobics doesn't work for me!

My sister got all the dancing genes! I have none!! But, I'm not crying, there's lots of things I'm good at!:biggrin2:

I have been wanting to try that but i cant find a dvd for beginners...:thumbs_up:

I love it but unfortunately cant really risk anything like that with my back. Running is relatively safe, its simple, the same movement over and over again, in the one plane. I get sore from doing a lot of it but if I do things like tae bo, lots of twising or rotational movements I can guarantee I'll be injured and not exercising for two or three weeks.

I couldnt even handle curves, it took me months to recover, lol.

I used to do taebo all the time like nothing, now it's just to much for me. When I start to get back in shape I'll for do it again!

I do it sometimes. mostly in the winter when I'm stuck inside. Right now i'm walking and riding the stationary bike till I scrape up the money to buy a new bike. I like to punch the heavy bag and workout with focus mitts when I have a partner.

my little sister got the dancing genes too..and the skinny genes come to think of it

Have you thought about kickboxing? I did it for like a week of a free intro class and i loved it bc it kept me busy and i didnt get bored. I am trying to find a good one on dvd
