As l mentioned in last few blogs, we have 6 different types of workout classes, if you are beginners, you are recommended to do yogarobics and shaperobics first. But for those who are really keen to lose weight in short time, aerobics, aerotone and tae bo are the ideal workouts for you.

Why? Because these workouts help to burn fat more efficient . It is actually very easy to judge, if your heart beat is faster and you feel more tiring, then your fat will be burned more. It is very easy to check the ideal heart rate, take 220 to minus your age, that is the maximum heart rate of yours. if your heart rate is not much different than normal, it shows that your body is not working good in cardio. If it is towards your maximum heart rate, you did it !

This calculation is for healthy people, if you have problem in heart , please seek advices from your doctor.

Tae bo means taekwondo boxing, some people pronouce 'teh bo' which is not correct. Tae bo, is a kick boxing in aerobics style, you don't need sand bag, what you have to do is to box the air with your most powerful fists, and to kick the air with your most powerful legs, you have to show your effort. Many ladies do not put impact on their movements, they just 'pose', this is strongly not recommened ! Please show your power, it is tiring but fun, and you gain satisfaction when you manage to follow the whole class, challenge yourself in the class like challenge your job, your examination and your life, you can do it !

Besides burn fat, tae bo is also good for tone up waist and tummy. But if you addict to tae bo or the similar workouts [like body combat and kick boxing] and work too much on it, you may build a bulky upper body after sometimes. What you should do is to get a 'balance' workout. I think for ladies, tae bo twice a week is just nice [or one is  enough if you also do aerobics or gym], if you are working more than 4 times a week for this workout, you have to balance up your body with same duration of stretching, or your body will grow like a man in the future. Well, l noticed that some ladies like it , if you do so, then go ahead. It is your body, you have the choice to decide your body's shape.

In another words,  if you are fat and flabby, tae do is good to burn your fat and tone you up. If you are fat and solid, and do not want to look like a man, l think you better do more on aerobics, shaperobics and yogarobics. If you are thin ,no matter flabby or solid, you are ok for tae bo.
