Much as you love Taebo, it's good to throw in some other forms of cardio....the good old cross training method. I have to force myself not to do step everyday, so I can relate. Personally, I would not do Taebo anymore than 2 times per week.
What other forms of cardio do you like to do?

Hi Anat.
Billy Blanks has said that Tae Bo should not be done everyday. He recommends every other day. This gives your muscles time to recover. Tae Bo is a mix of aerobics, boxing, & tae kwon do. It really is a full body workout.
He recommends weight training in addition to Tae Bo.
If you have just the one Tae-Bo Get Ripped set, after a few weeks it might become "routine". It's that place were you zone out or daydream thru it.
Cross traing keeps things interesting. Billy has a whole series out. Also there are some excellent other kickboxing videos!

thank you all ! regarding cross-training...
Yes, I know I should cross-train, and I therefore do step tapes (Cathe, Christi, K. Voight and others) plus some circuit training tapes.
The reson I was asking about Tae-Bo was because I saw some success stories in their web site and people seem to be doing that every day. I was just wondering if that was O.K.
But, last night i realized that I should probably start doing some other tapes in addition to Tae-Bo. Last night I felt that I am losing focus while doing the tape and that it was starting to get old becuase I have been doing the tapes 3-4 times a week for the past 4 weeks. I think I am going to cut down to twice a week and the other 2 times dedicate to step.
Thanks again,
Anat.

RE: thank you all ! regarding cross-training...
It's real important not to get bored with your workouts, and add new stuff all the time. It helps keep your motivation up. I used to mainly just walk all the time, and now I hardly ever do because it got very boring. Now I walk only about once a month. You have to look forward to your workouts so exercise does not become a drudgery.
My mind is starting to wander when I do Imax, because I've done it for 2-1/2 years. I want Cathe to do Imax II!
