What Is Tae Bo? The Cardio Workout That Combines Martial Arts and Fitness

June 23, 2026 · 4 min read

Tae Bo became a household name in the 1990s, and it's still one of the most fun ways to get fit.

The concept

Tae Bo combines taekwondo- and boxing-style moves with music-driven aerobic exercise. There's no contact — just you, the music and high-energy movement.

The benefits

  • Improves cardio endurance
  • Tones arms, legs and core
  • Burns calories
  • Boosts coordination and mood

Who it's for

Anyone who wants an energetic workout. Moves can be scaled for beginners or turned up for experienced athletes.
