Tae Bo is...tad boring?

YetAnotherDeb · 08-23-17, 05:49 PM

I was doing a search on one of the threads here and my iPad mini autocorrected Tae Bo to tad boring. I couldn't help but laugh.

Tad Boring? Didn't he write that novel everyone was talking about?

Or wait, maybe he's a pitchman on one of those shopping channels? Fidget spinners, right?

Lol!

Pretty true too - I've been trying to do some Tae-bo workouts recently and couldn't get through any of them. So tedious and uninspiring - but I loved Tae-bo when I first started exercising. I guess my tastes have changed.

Lol! I like Tae-Bo because it's not overly complex, but I haven't done it in years. The constant counting drove me bonkers!

lol me too (though the tad boring was pretty funny!). This week I've done Billy's Favourite Moves and also the Bootcamp 2 and got a great workout each time.

I have a soft spot for Billy as I found VideoFitness due to his workouts. He wasn't my cup of tea, so I was looking online for other options and came across this site.

The only Tae Bo I have kept is "Tae Bo Abs."

And I still use Billy's balls.

The counting doesn't bother me, but his lack of mirror cueing sends me up the wall!

That said, I have a huge collection of his DVDs, most acquired when I was on a Tae Bo kick (literally

) a few years ago.

Every time I start putting together items to donate, I reach for my Taebo collection, but something always stops me.

And I'm glad -- this past week I started doing the workouts again, and what I really like is the positive and upbeat mood that I end up with after doing them.
