Well normally I would get bored, but I am REALLY wanting to get rid of this weight so they are keeping my interest I try to really psyche myself up before I do the tapes. I usually have someone doing them with me (a neighbor or my hubby) and we push each other. I feel GREAT after doing the workout. I do it every morning after taking my oldest 2 children to school and feeding my others. It gives me more energy all day. I also do it at night after my children are all in bed. It takes alot of willpower to do it then, but night is when I normally do all my snacking so it keeps me from doing it.

Right now we are doing the Basic workout from the same collection you have. We are looking for the Advanced one to step it up some. I don't think they are the best for toning. They will help, but you have to constantly keep your muscles contracted and it's kind of hard to concentrate on that until you have all the moves down. I use the tae-bo contact workout more for toning. You don't need the bag to get a good workout, but I really like it. It's a little slower paced, but really pushes your muscles for toning and still gets you sweating. I am usually a little sore the morning after doing that one.

In a about 15 more pounds I am going to bring in some more toning excersizes like Yoga or Pilates, but I figured I should lose as much of the flab as I could first.
Good luck I hope they work out for you! Oh and if you go to the Tae bo wesite they have tips on helping you perfect the moves!
