New Here

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I am new to the list and pretty new to Tae Bo. My name is Candace and I

am married with four great kids ages 16, 14, 12, and 10. We homeschool and

seem to do about everything together. And now that includes working out to

Tae bo five times a week. Tae Bo was a great find for us as my girls were in

Goju Karate for 6 yrs, my oldest son and I were in it for 3 yrs and my

youngest was in classes a year, and then our school closed. After two years

of searching for another school we like, and trying out a variety of styles

of martial arts we have finally found a Shotokan Karate school that we love.

But we felt out of shape after being out of classes so long. And all of us

could stand to drop a few pounds too. Even though we like running, we live on

rock/mud roads and it has been a wet and muddy winter. (KS!) We were tired of

starting a running routine only to have the weather stop us. I knew from past

experience that the kids do not like most exercise tapes but I thought this

one would be perfect. And I was right. The kids like it and we are determined

to stick with it. It has been a battle though. The flu tried to stop us. I

have hurt my elbow and that has tried to hinder me, but we are determined. We

also lift weights 30 minutes a day, 4 times a week and do a stretching

breathing routine when we wake up. I am thrilled to find this list and hope

it helps us stay motivated. We were doing the advanced tape but when we all

came down sick with colds/flu we cut back to the basic. We are going to stick

with the basic a bit longer until the colds are gone. We rent the basic from

the library but own the advanced 6 live.

I look forward to getting to know everyone.

Candace
