BB Tai Cheng: Yay or nay

[firmaniac]

Yes, I got the strong sense from the tag search that the instructor was non-ugly hee hee

And it's too bad because I loved the instructor.

I’d recommend Scott Cole’s tai chi workouts. Cheaper and more fun.

I only made it through 2 workouts. (The second shortest rotation I ever quit!)

I like the instructor, Dr. Mark Cheng.

I actually spoke to him on the phone years ago when I was looking for kettlebell instruction. He was very gracious.

Man, Baladea has a bad rap around VF.

I’m gonna have to do a thread just in defense - there are 3 excellent workouts in that set, believe it or not.

Haha, I'm afraid to say that I think the workout with the band, Power, is pretty good.

The recent thread where people were talking about how bad it is made me pull out the set a couple weeks ago. I've had it forever but haven't ever done the workouts So I previewed all of them, and actually did the Power one and I thought it was a thorough strength workout with the band. I liked the setup of the workout, with circuits of doing a block of exercises for reps, then going back and repeating the same block of exercises for time, then moving on to the next block.

I thought Boost didn't look too bad, either (the interval one), but I didn't actually do it.

I don't like yoga, so that one didn't look fun to me anyway. One of them was really awkward looking, but I can't remember which one.

I do really like Holly Perkins as an instructor.

Looking at my Amazon history, I purchased this in 2017 for $15.99, so the band, drawstring bag, and at least one good workout make it worth what I paid, lol. The band is of very nice quality. I do NOT think it's worth the $90 or so that it originally sold for.

So on a scale of 1 to Baladea bad, it was Baladea bad.

(Note: I have not tried Baladea or Tai Cheng myself and I'm actually quite pleased to be disenabled from purchasing for once when I click on a new thread.)
