Does anyone have a good recommendation?
mckayleesmom replied: I always liked Tae Boe (sp?)...the regular one....I tried the kickboxing one once and I couldn't keep up... 
CAMSMOM1 replied: My sister and I are going to start doing the Tae-Bo Bootcamp DVD's on Monday. I'm getting excited about it! Everyone says they're a great workout.
I've also heard alot about Turbo Jam. I haven't tried it, but it's a suggesstion. 
Hey, let me know what you try out & how it works for you. I'm getting really excited about exercising, finally, and I want to do something that works. 
coasterqueen replied: I LOVE Taebo Cardio and Discs 1 and 2 of Carmen Electra's Strip Tease workouts. Disc 2 is a total conditioning/toning and an excellent one IMO. Disc 1 teaches basics of the Strip tease dance and I like that one too. She has a total of 5 in the series, but I haven't gotten the other 3 yet.
My3LilMonkeys replied:
Is that the Tae Boxing with Billy Blanks? I have a VHS of that and I used to love it....but now our VCR is in the bedroom and there's not enough room in there to work out. 
DH is voting for the Striptease workouts - he wants to know if you really take your clothes off while you're doing them. 
ammommy replied: The FIRM is a great series. It's been around forever and they keep adding new things. The current system is called the transFIRMer and comes with 3 DVD's and 2 steps. You will need weights to do it, too.
A lot of people on another board that I visit love Turbo Jam. It's alot like TaeBo, but with peppier music and more dance-type moves added in.

I also use the above its fun more than anything at least i think so i tend to laugh at myself and think so glad im single could not imagine doing this infront of anyone at the minute.. They are so good for toning and also give you a confidence boost the more you seem to do it.... My body still does not look nothing like Carmen's but im working on it xx
coasterqueen replied:
I stopped doing mine for a while and started just working out on the treadmill. When I was doing them I really noticed toning going on. After a few weeks of not doing them the toning was GONE.  I started back up with Carmen last night.  I'll do the treadmill every other night and Carmen the other nights.
DH was really sad that I didn't do video one because he wants to see me do it, but I told him there is no way in this world I will do it for him til I look like her. I did video 2 last night instead.
BTW, do you have #3, #4, or #5 of her set? I was wanting to get them but not sure how they are. I LOVE how she breaks things out little by little and repeats them many times so even the most clueless person (like me) can do it.
Mason's Mum replied:
I have the 1st one which i did again last night think i was laughing at myself more than doing anything god when she does a body roll it looks so cool i dread to think what it looked like when i was attempting it.
Want to get the other ones as they look so good no4 is lapdancing, think i will have to practive the body rolls first ha. Was so surprised i kept out with it last night though i have exercised in god knows how long its very rare i have the time or the energy.
God there was 1 bit in it though where she is on the floor and gets her head right down between her legs i fealt like i was trying to lick my belly button as thats all i could see 
Whats no2 like??
I like the look of no5 as its more of hip hop dancing X
Hillbilly Housewife replied: Geez guys - you're making we want to get them! I wanna learn how to dance real sexy!! 
coasterqueen replied:
I often wonder what I look like doing the moves too. I wish I had a mirror in front of me while doing it. I KNOW I'm not looking like her when she does it. 
Every time I do #1 though my neck is sore for days afterwards. Who can whip their neck around like that and it not be sore? 
#2 is strictly exercise like push-ups, knee bends, crunches, etc BUT the guy that is instructing it with her is GREAT. I love the way he does the moves because they seem so much easier for me than when I've tried to do moves similar on my own. I did it two days ago and I'm still sore! It really does give you a GREAT work out for toning/sculpting. I definitely recommend it.
I don't think I'm ready for #4 yet either. #5 looks cool though, the hip hop but not sure I'm ready for that either.
coasterqueen replied:
Well if you learn how to dance sexy from the tapes let me know your secret! Until I can look like Carmen, I think the only thing I'll look like is a fat lady trying to do something she shouldn't.
Hillbilly Housewife replied:
then I'm gonna look worse - cuz yer skinnier than me.
Have you seen those new Jello Jigglers commercials? That woule be ME.
Chiflata2003 replied: I can't do exercise videos because we living in army housing upstairs and my neighbor down stairs under us says she can hear every foot step when we walk from room to room, so I dont want to "annoy" her while moving a lot.
