The Perfect EVER workout: Tae Bo

I'm one of those people, who just can't .. just can't stand an hour in the gym or doing pilates. The gym = boring, and I can't do my whole workout just on the floor (but I do LOVE yoga...just not pilates) haha.

So since it's summer, and everyone wants to get in shape; it's also real important to figure out an exercise that your body AND mind loves.

Then I discovered TAE BO.

Tae Bo is basically martial arts combined with heart pumping cardio. When I do the workout, it doesn't even feel like a workout. When I'm doing it, I feel like I'm training to be a spy or something...it's sooo funn!

The most famous Tae Bo "dvds" are from the Billy Blanks, who is the creator of Tae Bo! He rockkssss!(:

Tae Bo, in my view, is like the King of Distractions. The workout instructor will basically THROW new moves at you. So while your brain is trying to figure out how to work the arms, your legs will be already working out, and you don't even notice it...and before you now it, your sweating like crazyyy!

Tae Bo burns a good amount of calories too. For example, I'm about 124 lbs. , and if I do ONLY 30 minutes of Tae Bo, I already burn about 200-300 calories.

Its awesomeeee(:

So try it out, feel the burn for yourself!

Hope this helps you guys!

Well, let's see, I've got some new moves for you guys. So far I've done, Paintings/Art, Smoothies, and today I'm gonna give some moves to you guys, for fitness(: Don't yawn, or suddenly get tired, these moves are THE BEST! They make you sweat a lott! Trust me. So, this is from Self's The Great 1 month slim down.

Here's a link: http://www.self.com/fitness/workouts/2009/01/the-great-one-month-slim-down-slideshow#slide=1

Allright, well Jillian Michaels teaches you the moves, but I'm going to tell you guys the moves that really build up sweat and work you out:

-Hot Stepper , whew! That really burns something in the quads!

-Plank up ... oh boy!

- On your mark ... I think this one gets you tired the fastest. It's not necessarily harder to do, but it really gets you sweat because your quads will be WHEWW!!

-Power Pike, ... especially your arms

That's the ones that really make me sweat! So, follow the link and check out the moves that she shows you on the site and the video. It doesn't seem very hard, but yess it really slims you down!

Another alternative for that, is Billy Blanks Ab Bootcamp. You can find it on youtube. Honestly diet plays a HUGE impact on your results, but you can do that or Tae Bo or something. Their both great exercises.

Try it all out! The 1 month slim down, ab bootcamp, tae bo ... everything! And try to find the one that's right for you. And after that, treat yourself to some dark chocolate (:

And a little suprise is that, a little poll is installed, and vote on who YOU think is gonna win the 2010 World Cup!!
