Week 2

This week was very good, Now I've lost 2 more pounds.

My diet and the excercise is working well, now I have to keep going, I don't want to recover the weight I lost, It's easier to gain it than to lose it.

I'm happy with the results.

Days 5 and 6

Yesterday was sunday and I took it off, but today I had a normal trading session, remember I told you I need 20 pounds less, well I'm 0.5 pounds less today.

I know it's a long way but It's a good start.

Day 4

Today is a very nice day, it's a little bit cold but it's ok to excercise, I feel better than yesterday.

The instructor said that Tae Bo is a very hard exercise, but my progress is amazing, It's a good thing to be recognized.

I found a natural remedy for a lot of diseases I'll post it later.

Day 3

Today I felt very tired at the class, my body was very hard but the instructor said it's normal, your body has to prepare itself.

Anyone else is taking any tae bo or any fitness classes? I'd be very happy to know about someone else's experience.

Second Day

I feel like my body is getting stronger, I know It's only the second day but I feel great, I need 20 lbs. less, let's see how long it takes me to reach that.

Tae Bo History

Blanks developed the routine in 1976 by combining dance with elements from his martial arts and boxing training to form a workout regimen. During the 1990s, a series of videos were mass-marketed to the public; by 1999 an estimated 1 billion sets of videos had been sold on the back of a frequently aired television infomercial. As a result, Tae Bo became somewhat of a pop culture phenomenon in the late 1990s. Gyms began offering kickboxing-based fitness classes similar to Tae Bo. Since Blanks had taken out a trademark on the name they were not allowed to use the term Tae Bo without paying a licensing fee. Tae Bo videos and DVDs continue to rank among the top sellers in the fitness genre and derivative classes are still offered at many gyms.

Tae Bo classes are taught worldwide. Tae Bo includes many of the same punches and kicks as karate, but is not intended for fighting—it was not meant for any combat or self-defenseapplications. There are no throws, grappling moves, or ground fighting techniques in Tae Bo. Its only intent is to increase fitness through movement. Tae Bo also includes aerobic exercisesintended to strengthen all muscles of the body with basic choreography.

The high-intensity workout is intended to increase cardiovascular fitness, strength, muscular endurance and flexibility.

Tae Bo Description

Tae Bo is an aerobic exercise routine that became popular in the 1990s. It was developed by taekwondo practitioner Billy Blanks and was one of the first "cardio-boxing" programs to enjoy commercial success. Such programs use the motions of martial arts at a rapid pace designed to promote fitness. The name Tae Bo is a portmanteau of tae kwon do and boxing.

My first day

Hi today is my first day in a Tae bo Fitness center, it was a little bit hard but I understand it will be like this the first weeks.
