Created by Billy Blanks, these tapes mix Aerobics, Martial Arts, and Power Yoga into workouts.

Quote:
TAE BO technique includes moves such as marching and pivoting; stances, punches, kicks, and combinations. The TAE BO movement isn’t fancy – it is quite controlled and disciplined.

Tae Bo® is a program that combines the best of a variety of different exercise disciplines to provide an overall workout. It is the combination of self-awareness and control of martial arts, the focus and strength of boxing, and the grace and rhythm of dance.

• The word "Tae" means "foot and leg" in the Korean language, due to the movements that emphasize the lower body.
• "Bo" is a shortened version of the word "box."
• However, all the letters of "Tae Bo®" have an important meaning as well, because they are significant to the essential demands of "Tae Bo®".

Mmkay, now my opinion!

I own the complete set in the picture (but in English sweatdrop ). I love it! The only thing I do not like about it is how foolish it makes you feel when you are doing it in front of people (like my family). So when I do Tae Bo, I usually have to wait until I am home alone before I'll get serious with it.

I really do feel it when I do it. My heart rate increases, I even start sweating. I feel I can punch and kick more properly and harder now. I also feel more flexible after using it after the first week.

I would recommend it to anyone and everyone, especially in the winter time when going outside is not so great of an option!

heart heart heart heart heart 5 hearts from the Muffyn!

Oooh,lol! We had to do it at school. I felt foolish too, but it made me stronger. I don't feel thin and flimsy. x]

That is when I first tried it, was in a class. I stood in the back but felt weird because I was the only one really doing it seriously. But I have to say I love it and once I am studying Criminal Justice I can use it as a defense tactic.
