Has anyone done it in the past or is currently doing it? I'd love to hear about your experience with it.
I recently started, and yesterday I completed the entire basic workout tape. :nana:
That most likely doesn't sound like a huge accomplishment to most of you, but for me it is a pretty awesome thing.
A little over a year ago, I had jaw surgery (upper jaw broken in 3 places, bottom jaw shifted over) and couldn't eat solid food for over 3 months. In addition, I couldn't drink any "liquid meals" because my mouth was so swollen. (I had to drink everything through a syringe because my mouth was wired shut.) I ended up living off of a few ounces of apple juice each day for about a month, and then managed to get down less than 1 Boost/Ensure/etc. each day. I was pretty much bed-ridden the entire time because I was so heavily medicated, my balance was off, and I had zero energy.
By the time I was un-wired, I was around 90lbs (I'm 5'7"). Standing for more than a couple minutes would leave me exhausted, and it took a few months before I could walk more than a couple blocks at a time.
I gained all my weight back, but mostly in fat - I couldn't build up all the muscle I'd lost because I would get worn out so easily.
I've tried doing Tae-Bo on and off, but I always ended up shutting it off 5-10 minutes into it because I was so tired. So, I started doing easier workouts for about the past month or two, and yesterday I popped the tape in - and finished it! I'm definately feeling it today though lol
