I love this crazy little man. The energy, the bald head, collection of bright nipple bearing unitards (men, never, ever, wear unitards.....please). I am a closet Tae Bo fan. I started the year it came out and I've been jumping around in my dorm/living room, kicking invisible ninjas for 10 years now. Especially now that dance is over for the quarter I have to find some way to resist the gravitational pull of the couch and counteract the latkes and holiday cookies. Gym is ok, but I can only be on a hamster machine for so long until I want to start throwing things at people. Which is why I Tae Bo. I sweat, Billy yells at me that I can kick hard higher, "every body action has a reaction", and "tighten your buns! watch my butt!" An hour later, I'm sweaty, haven't left my house, and can go right back to grading on the couch. For me, Tae Bo (and exercise videos in general) fit into the category of "my partner can never see me doing this". Mom or sister - no problem. L? No freakin' way. I'm happy to dance in front of hundreds, but I'm loathe to let L catch me flailing around to Billy and his unitard.
I note the parallels with D+D here: attacking imaginary assailants, funny outfits, and the absolute ban on your SO seeing you do it. Although I guess Taebo helps you lose wait and eating lots of pizza and pounding beers while playing D+D...doesn't.
