Blue Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Ok everyone, Has anyone ever tried the Taebo workouts ? Shame on me, but i haven't been to TKD for a while, but i thought since a friend tried this and gave it up that i might check out the tapes and give it a whirl. From what i remember seeing on TV it really does look like a good workout ? Thoughts ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budderfly Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 It looks like a good cardio workout, but it isn't something for me. I prefer more contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iolair Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Yes, I've used a few of them... they're good cardio workouts, and a lot of the exercises use the same muscles etc as you'd use in kickboxing or similar styles. The techniques are adapted to make them safer for exercise, which reduces their combat viability. BUT it doesn't claim to be a fighting art, it's a workout - so that's not really a problem. I think Tae Bo is a useful tool for helping get into shape or stay in shape when you're away from your training hall for a while. Currently: Kickboxing and variants.Previously: Karate (Seido, Shotokan, Seidokan), Ju Jitsu, Judo, Aikido, Fencing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Posted November 14, 2003 Author Share Posted November 14, 2003 Borrowed my sisters Taebo tapes and have pronounced the workout a winner. I was actually impressed The tapes begin with instructional type stuff, punches, hook, cross, jab - kicks front, back, side, round and it just goes from there. Very much like warm up and the beginning of TKD class - i think TKD was a bit harder but this was a very effective workout. I can see why lots of people have good things to say about it.
