Hey everyone! Sorry to go MIA lately!! I've been sick and we've been putting down new flooring in our house--craziness! Anyway, just reporting that I'm back on the TJ wagon come Monday morning.
How is everyone else doing?

I am going good! I am STILL on the Learn and Burn LOL! I didnt realize I was so out of shape! I hope to graduate to the 20 min. workout in a week or so. The hardest part has been getting up 20 minutes earlier... sounds easy but when your bed is so warm its sooooooooo hard!

Hi, just wanted to post and say the I did the Cardio Part Mix 2 yesterday, and I loved it. I like it alot better that Cardio Party 1. With #1 my knees always bother me after the lunge protion, #2 does not have this section. But I will warn you, it is harder that the first one, but the music is just as good. I'm planning on doing it tonight also!. Let's keep Jammin' !

Hey Christina, heres an idea for you. Instead of starting right out at waking up 20 minutes early, start out with 10 minutes. I'm trying to get up 10 minutes earlier in the morning so that I can do the standing portion of Ab Jam. There's NO way I'd be able to get up 20 minutes early right away! =)

I ordered tj off Ebay and got a great deal---but can anybody tell me whats in the diet plan?? (or if its even worth bothering?). I just started 3 days ago with the learn and burn and did the 20 min work out yesturday and today...here's hoping for the best!!

Hi all. I too love Turbo Jam. I usually one do it about once a week because I go to the gym 6 days a week so where to fit in is always the question. I have many exercise videos and do like to change things up a bit but will say TJ is one of my favourites next to Tae Bo (Billy Blanks). I hadn't heard about the Ball videos from Chalene that someone had previously posted a few posts back. Where did you hear about them? Beachbody doesn't have it advertised. Anyway, I've done all the current DVD's in TJ series and encourage all to try them. They are addictive and certainly get your heart rate a pumpin'! Let me know what you think.

I started a post re: Turbo Jam ages ago to share my love for this workout. I've been using Turbo Jam as my main cardio workout since September 2005!!!!! The Maximum Results package is my favorite but the two newest ones rate right up there too.

The newest one Turbo Blast is the only workout where you have to go up and down and up and down - that one is harder for me to do as I get dizzy but other then that - the time goes so fast and it is FUN! The other workout you get down on the floor with is Ab Jam but it is 9 minutes standing and then the last 9 minutes are on the floor.

I recommend signing up for Beachbody's newsletter to get their discounts. They are no longer accepting codes as of the new year. Another option is QVC but I think they are going to soon but ending the package on there too. They just had it on on New Years Day I believe with Janelle, Chalene's sister. I would for sure start with the first set when beginning Turbo Jam whether a beginner or advance exerciser. I have been doing Tae Bo for 8 years this February although since Turbo Jam, I don't reach for a Tae Bo tape very often.

Beachbody forums are also a great place to go if you need any ideas or want support - most are very helpful.

I can NOT say enough good about this workout. It's not exercise to me. I haven't lost weight since August but I've been maintaining. I did lose 20 pounds since starting Turbo Jam though - it was what finally got my scale and my measuring tape to finally MOVE and it moved down thank goodness.

You can't go wrong with these workouts - I hardly hear of anyone saying they dislike them - although there are people that I'm sure do. That is why it is so wonderful that there are so many workouts out there that fit each of us - it's just finding that one workout that makes you keep pushing play.

Happy New Year - here is to 12 more months of jammin'!!!!!!!!!!

I have finally graduated to the 20 minute video. I just finished my 2nd time with it. My plan is to do the 20 minute 4 mornings, then the turbo sculpt 2-3 times a week. The slowly get to the cardio sculp 45 minute work out.

bbobsgrl · 01-07-2007, 10:16 PM

A couple of the Turbo Jam workouts are available on Time Warner Cable's "On Demand". So if any of you are sitting on the fence, you can preview it there before deciding to purchase.

AAAAAH!!! LOL I finally received my Turbo Jam today! I got it used off of Amazon for only $40! So, I was thrilled about that. But, I'll tell you what I'm more thrilled about...this workout!! I absolutely love it! I did the Learn and Burn and the 20 minute cardio tonight. I actually found myself smiling during the workout. I NEVER smile when I'm working out!
I did TaeBo for a year and a half and really grew to HATE it after a while. I would dread doing it all day long.
This is NOTHING like TaeBo, as I feared it might be. No angry workout here!
Thanks guys for pointing me in the right direction! Woohoo!!!

septembersgoal · 01-14-2007, 08:59 PM

It sounds like you all are really enjoying your workouts!
As for me, I'm still trying to get off the 20 min. workout!

But I really like it and have done it more than I've ever done any other exercise. I'm even thinking about doing it tonight despite the fact that I have a UTI!!

Keep it up ladies!

jetsetter · 01-16-2007, 10:10 AM

I'm going to join y'all in a few days as I'm waiting for my DVD's to arrive. The stinkin' infomercial sucked me in on Sunday afternoon!! Every one of you sounds so positive and upbeat about the workouts. I hope I enjoy them as much as you guys. I have such a hard time sticking with any sort of exercise routine. Figured I should try something that looks like it's fun.

rcb722 · 01-16-2007, 01:21 PM

I'm another one that is waiting for my DVD's to arrive. I watched the infomercial about 20 times and still wasn't super convinced, but seeing all of these posts about how much everyone loves the videos really made me want to at least try them. I ordered mine off of QVC for $50, so it was a better deal than the TurboJam website.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to starting, and I will come back with a post to let everyone know how it goes. If anyone wants to be a TJ "Buddy" let me know.

Hi all! I was having some health issues for a while and feeling so lousy made me lazy, so I was not working out, but I am back now!! I have just started back up with my TJ dvd's and remember now why I loved them! I always feel SOOOO good afterward!!

I have the original set and the max results set, I have only tried the CP3 once, but I LOVE the kick, punch and jam~that is my all time favorite! That is also the one I do when DH is on the gazelle, since he is right there watching me, I feel more comfortable doing that one, it is less *dancy*.
I am looking forward to chatting with you other TJers!
