I've had a weight problem for a decade. Since my first pregnancy. I was dumb enough to get those birth control hormone jabs, which I found out later, made it very hard to lose weight.. in fact, gaining weight is a side effect. I switched to one of those IUD devices later, but have been battling my weight ever since.
Then a friend gave me a billy blanks tae-bo exercise dvd and I was hooked. The workouts were actually fun. I've tried the treadmill.. so boring staring out of the window and jogging on the spot at the gym. Worse still if I get treadmill that faces the wall. Jogging these days isn't safe for a lone woman jogger, or anyone, for that matter. Besides, I've got caught in the rain while out jogging in the middle of nowhere too many times to count. Those episodes were followed by bouts of flu which really messed up my workout schedule. As for group aerobics or dance classes, I felt like a hippo amongst all the svelte young women in their designer workout clothes. It was horribly demoralizing.
Along came the billy blanks workout system. That was the answer to my woes. The workout is actually addictive. I wouldn't have believed a fat busting workout could be so much fun I'd actually look forward to it, but I did. The catchy music and enthusiastic team made this a very watchable video. Whenever I played that video, my kids would gather around the TV and join in the workout, or rather, the older, lazier one would sprawl himself on the sofa and watch the video while his younger brother would grab two skittles and join in the fun. My husband would watch the video too. His idea of exercise seems to be lifting a handful of crisps into his mouth yet he's the one who looks like a gym rat and I'm the one who looks like the couch potato. Life's not fair. Guys have it so easy, what with their metabolism burning calories so easily.

Is taebo good for you?
Definitely. I felt better after each workout. You know the runner's high? I get that with after every workout. Particularly after the Mission 1 and Mission 2 fat burning / strength training workouts in Billy's BootCamp Elite. I do suffer from depression but you know what? Taebo helps a lot. Nothing like a sweaty workout to lift away those dark clouds.
Does tae bo work?
Taebo is said to be such a brilliant exercise plan that the ads boast you'd see results in 7 days. So would you?
You bet! I saw inch loss in the first few days. I measured my waist before I started the workouts. After a day or two, I measured and found half to an inch missing. Maybe I wasn't that good at measuring myself but my husband said he could see the difference the very first day I tried it.
Then again, taebo works only if you do the workouts. Just watching them wouldn't help. I saw real results when I followed the two month plan. Then I came down with a bout of flu, stopped working out for months and gained back that weight.
By the way, the results you'd see initially would be inch loss rather than weight loss. Muscle weighs more than fat, so as you gain muscle and lose fat, you might even see your weight increase before the pounds start to fall off. A better measure of whether it works is with a measuring tape. Measure your waist and other problem areas every week and see the results for yourself.
If billy blanks bootcamp elite is good, tae bo amped is better. To be honest, I have yet to get taebo amped but from what I gather, there is a greater emphasis on cardio bursts to burn calories faster, has several new moves and it is even more effective than elite. If you have yet to try taebo, I suggest you Get Tae Bo AMPED now!
