Never got into her workouts much but now I know why they reminded me so much of Taebo!!!
No way! I have thought that about Piloxing often. Now I'll have to check it out in the amped workout. I LOVE discovering who background exercises are in videos. I'm such a nerd.
I'm enjoying this thread and it has put me back on a tae Bo kick lately. I just did the newer Live Express. This one sure got my heart rate up! I was wearing weighted gloves, but I always do with kickboxing.

Amery.....I had thought it was her but just never waited until the credits rolled. Sure enough....I did Piloxing for awhile and always thought of TaeBo and now I know why. Even her toning workouts are just like Billy's. And it was him influencing her because he's been at this quite possibly longer then she's been alive (really have no clue how old she is). Funny, because I have read interviews with her and even seen her on a talk show discussing Piloxing and she takes ALL the credit for it and never mentioned the obvious Taebo influence.

I've been stalking this thread & finally had to comment! First, thanks to all -- I added tae bo yesterday & today to my workouts & had a blast!

Second, I don't have any piloxing so I had to google a clip after your comment about Vivica. The first 30 seconds I could TOTALLY see the tae bo influence. Funny about her interview & never mentioning tae bo. I would respect her more if she had given him some credit. Even musicians talk about who influenced them but I guess competition is too fierce in the fitness industry !

You know I am going to have to research piloting now, just to see the Taebo influence.

And I am interested in the newer Taebo Live Abs, it looks like cardio and abs and a collage says its total body toning too. Anyone tried it?

Anny, while I haven't tried it, you really cannot go wrong with one of Billy's abs workouts. I love all the standing work he does for abs, and my abs looked their best when I was doing Tae Bo regularly.

Anny....Piloxing is......different. She combined Boxing and Pilates (and TaeBo, whether she admits it or not) and threw ALOT of pink and sexy talk into a workout. I have nothing against her and have done Piloxing but there was just too much "get sexy" talk that turned me off. She may have gotten her influence from Billy but Piloxing is NOT TaeBo.
I got the Live Abs workout but haven't done it yet. Took a peek at it and it looks crazy fun!!!!!! Love the outdoor shoot,too.

Thanks for the info! I looked at a clip and the beginning of Piloxing on yiutube looked so Taebo-ish!

I love the set for the Live Abs and all the cardio moves so it looks total body and not just abs. So glad you liked the preview...it's on my wish list right now!
