Tae Bo
Tae Bo is a total body fitness system that incorporates Martial Arts techniques such as kicks and punches, which became quite popular in the 1990s. It was developed by American taekwondo practitioner Billy Blanks and was one of the first "cardio-boxing" programs to enjoy commercial success.
The name Tae Bo is a portmanteau of tae kwon do and boxing.
Furthermore it is an acronym standing for:
Total commitment to whatever you do
Awareness of yourself and the world
Excellence, the truest goal in anything you do
(the) Body as a force for total change
Obedience to your will and your true desire for change.
Tae Bo includes many of the same punches and kicks as karate, but is not intended for fighting—it was not meant for any combat or self-defense applications. There are no throws, grappling moves, or ground fighting techniques in Tae Bo. Its only intent is to increase fitness through movement. Tae Bo also includes aerobic exercises intended to strengthen all muscles of the body with basic choreography.
The high-intensity workout is intended to increase cardiovascular fitness, strength, muscular endurance and flexibility.
