Workout Review - Ultimate TaeBo

It's snowing here today. A lot. We have over a foot of snow now and it's still snowing. So much for it stopping by noon. Because of the inclement weather, I didn't run today, but I needed to get some sweating in, so I decided to open the cabinet that holds my workout DVD's and see what I had. I have about a dozen exercise DVD's - most have never even been opened.

Well, I decided to have a date with Billy Blanks and TaeBo Ultimate. This workout kicked some serious tail! Mine, at least. I did the main workout - 60 minutes of high intensity stuff! There is also another 30 minute workout that can be done right after the first 60 minutes, but I thought I'd stop before I keeled over.

It was a great workout - it really got me super sweaty, worked all parts of me (especially my core where I REALLY need help) and I felt great afterward. It was very high intensity, lots of combinations of moves (punches, steps and kicks), but I was able to keep up (albeit not always on beat). This workout is not intended to be done every day (Billy told me so at the beginning of the DVD), and there's no formal warm up or cool down period, but that was really appealing to me. I really don't enjoy stretching, so this was perfect for me.

My goal is to open that DVD cabinet every week and try one of my DVD workouts. I have several, so I'll get a workout other than running at least once a week and I'll finally try some of the DVD's I've had for ages. Maybe I'll even shrink my middle a bit - a girl can dream, can't she?
