HISTORY of TOTAL AWARENESS OF EXCELLENT BODY OBEDIENCE (Tae Bo)

The first Tae Bo fitness workout video was released in 1998. This revolutionizing workout, combined martial arts, boxing, and elements of dance, set to fast pace music to form this intense cardio workout, which quickly became an international phenomenon.
Unlike most fitness crazes today, Tae Bo has a humbling beginning that was created in Billy’s basement. It was there that Billy put the “Rocky” theme song on and began working out. Billy then realized how much energy he was given by something as simple as adding music to his workout. Amazed by this, Billy began looking into other forms of movements that incorporated music, including taking ballet. Ballet improved Billy’s coordination, flexibility, and taught him how to count musical beats. From there, he began choreographing karate and boxing techniques to music. While composing this physical symphony, Billy realized that he was exhausted. When only 10 minutes had past, Billy could barely breathe, even though he was already physically fit. Billy worked out for hours a day, 7 days a week. He realized the simple action of combining choreographed moves to up tempo music, was what made the difference. That was the beginning of Tae Bo.
