The History Of Tae Bo
Author: by Liz Norman
(C )2005 by Liz Norman
Tae Bo is a fairly new cardiovascular exercise that combines self-defense moves, aerobics, martial arts, kickboxing, dancing and yoga. Billy Blanks is the man who created this unusual and reportedly highly effective fitness program after noticing more traditional fitness programs were not doing the job. Tae Bo not only burns fat, but also increases coordination and builds muscle. It also promises to actually be fun!
Billy Blanks himself is highly trained in Tae Kwon Do and Western aerobics. When he noticed how few women were present in any of the martial arts classes he attended in the early 80s, he concluded it was time to create a new kind of workout. One that would not only reshape a woman’s physique, but one that would boost their self-confidence as well. Of course, Tae Bo is meant for both women and men.
When Billy Blanks created Tae Bo it was for the purpose of getting more people interested in improving their general health. In an effort to avoid users getting bored with the exercise, he borrowed from different types of exercises to create an intense workout which would be set to music. Tae Bo draws from kickboxing, dance choreography, self-defense punches, martial arts and stretching and holding from yoga. All this, along with constant aerobic movements is bound to increase your overall fitness and guarantee weight loss.
