My before picture was taken back in 1991, long before I ever heard of Tae Bo or Billy Blanks, but it’s not much different than how I looked when I started Tae Bo in March 1999. A friend of mine and I used to walk 2 miles every morning for exercise, but we really did more talking than walking. One morning, she asked me if I had ever seen the Tae Bo infomercial. I hadn’t seen it, and told her I wasn’t interested in ANYTHING that came from an infomercial. She loaned me the original instructional and basic tape, and after a single workout, I knew I was hooked. That was nearly 1-1/2 years, about 30 lbs., 4 sizes, and hundreds of workouts ago!

It’s difficult to describe all the things Tae Bo has done for me, in addition to the dramatic physical changes I have undergone. It has enabled me to find strength and determination inside of me that I never realized was there. I had never given much thought to my inner spirit, but I know now, thanks to Billy and Tae Bo, that I have a powerful spirit which helps me every day. I feel better, I sleep better, I like myself better Tae Bo just has good written all over it! I’m almost 44 years old, and I can’t imagine not doing Tae Bo for the rest of my life. Thank you, Billy!!
