ultimate taebo

[Guest guest]

this morning i did 'ultimate taebo'... this is billy's 90 minute

workout which is included in the 'amped' kit (but i think that

ultimate can be bought separately as well). there is no

equipment used for this workout... is is just typical taebo for

an hour and a half! whoo-hoo!! and (to me) it is reminiscent

of the old live workouts, except for the music. billy uses a

strong beat though which does help. billy sure is the king of

kickboxing drills... but at the 45 min mark, he shows some of

his personality by having everyone do some funky dancing!

shellie was cracking up laughing, and i agreed that it was fun.

i had to leave out some of the double-times and footwork so that

i had the stamina to finish the whole workout. as it was i dont

think that i could do one more knee-lift by the end! LOL. even

with some modifying, i still burned 520 calories good

workout, recommended! lots of standing abs which i thought was

great. one thing that i did not like however, was the lack of

cool-down stretch!! i was surprised that billy couldnt have fit

a stretch into a 90 minute workout! usually he does a hamstring

stretch at least... but in this workout he does a bit of tai-chi

and that is it :/ i didnt have time to do my own stretching,

but i did get into a hot shower and that felt great,

Hi Carolyn!

Replying to older posts...

Yes, the med ball worked very well for the balance ball cardio. It

probably offered a bit more resistance, and it was nice to focus on

form and controlled movement rather than trying to be careful of what

I might run in to with my stability ball, lol.

Yep, we stayed for some of Ted's concert. He's such a character!

I'm not a die hard fan or anything, but I'm familiar with all of his

hits, of course. And he used to have a morning radio show in the

Detroit area when I was working near there. He was going on and on

about how he was with all of his huntin', fishin', and trappin'

buddies here in WI. Not sure about the trapping, but I imagine there

was a lot of hunters and fishermen. Lots of smoking and drinking

too – which I found ironic for a concert by Ted who never touches the

stuff, lol. We sat in bleachers for about an hour, then walked

around the grounds for a bit longer to stretch ouor legs before we

left. We could still hear the concert loud and clear.

Thanks for all the Tae Bo info!! I had no idea that Shellie was

daughter, but I suppose she is a lot like him in energy, lol.

I remember you telling me Marcy's name, then I forgot it, and then

sure enough - it sounded like called her Marge in the workout,

heh. Ultimate Tae Bo sounds fun! Any general thoughts on the Boot

Camp Elite, Capture the Power, or Get Ripped series? I have a few of

each of those and am not sure yet what order/fitness level to put

them in.

Yes, my minutes worked out goal has really progressed! I started

with a lazy goal of at least 25 min, 3 times a week back in May/June,

just to try to get re-started and slowly built up from there.

Sorry to hear Chinook was getting in trouble with the cows! LOL!

Bummer that he has to get tied up. Our backyard is large and fenced

in for our pups, and we used to have horses next door. We only had

the two dogs at the time, but they had probably never seen horses and

would just freak out if the horses started running around. They got

used to them eventually, but in the winter the horses would hardly

ever be out so we'd start the cycle over in the spring. The

neighbors never did much with the horses, so I wasn't too surprised

when they got rid of them.

Thanks for all the feedback and knowledge!!
