Guest guest Posted March 15, 2001 Report Share Posted March 15, 2001 Hi ! Welcome and good luck on your challenge. Lots of people (including myself) have made a few tries before finishing a 12-week challenge. It took me 3 times before I finished one last fall, and I can't tell you how unbelievably empowering just *finishing* the 12 weeks through to the end made me feel. I have had a few slips on the program since then, but always get right back up on the horse. What matters is the big picture, so stay focused and keep at it. You will be so glad you did!!

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2001 Report Share Posted November 13, 2001 Hi, LaRhonda! I'm and I'll be 29 in 3 more days! Anyway, I am currently using the Get Ripped advanced and basic tapes. I also mix in a few other tapes depending on my mood. I try to stick to an every other day schedule. I up my routine during the Holidays though. Good luck, and welcome to the group!

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2001 Report Share Posted November 13, 2001 Welcome LaRhonda! I'm not doing any taebo right now because I am injured (not from taebo). But, I would encourage you to just go for your goal. You may not make it. Weight goals are very tricky for lots of reasons, including that taebo sometimes causes people to gain muscle. Still those incredibly toned people with the firm muscles often wear smaller clothes sizes (it happened to me: I wear a size 8, but weigh 130). Fit as much taebo into your schedule as feels comfortable. Elena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2001 Report Share Posted November 14, 2001 Thanks , That is good to know. I think I will start with the basic 3x a week and work my way up to 5x. I don't have the get ripped ones, but I hear that they are really good. But I have so many tapes already I hate to buy anymore. But I am just going to ust the basic one that I have at least until Christmas. Congratulations on your great weight loss. I hope to be at my goal soon!

You can also add the floorwork from the advanced tape and/or the 8-min. tape, if you have it, to a basic workout to help build up to the advanced. Still, lots of people here have had great results from just doing basic tapes. Elena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've judged it as an intermediate tape. So that might just give you a good run for your money. Many people add the 8 min (actually it's about 15 minutes) to the basics as well. I use to do this alot when I first started. Good luck!!!!!! Sandie, Tae and Bo )!!!!!!!! ===== " Believe. Believe in yourself. Believe in the one who believes in you.

Sounds like a great plan that you have! Good luck, you will do just fine. The basic will be just fine until you get sick of it and need something new. I did my studio basic tape for a while before I got bored with it so you shouldn't have any problem. Let us know how things go!
