Turbo Jam Chat and Support

[briggs2003]

HI All! I started doing Turbo Jam in August, but I have been slacking for a few months now. I cant wait to start it up again. Turbo Jam was a blast for me and my son loves to do it with me! I did a 1500 calorie diet and Turbo Jam and in 7 weeks I lost 26 lbs and 27 inches. I am hoping to see some good results again. Good Luck to all of you!

Hey everyone!
I just borrowed some Turbo Jam DVD's off of my sister in law and I LOOOOOVE them. They are so fun! I love when the turbo kicks in and it's like triple time! My heart just gets racing and it feels so good afterwards! I did my first workout today and am hoping to do many many more!

Hi Everyone!

I have been incorporating Turbo Jam into my weekly workouts for quite awhile now and continue to come back to it even though I also do other DVDs.

Lately I have been starting with the 20 minute workout and then adding the Cardio Mix #1. That gives me an hour altogether which makes me feel like I have really worked out successfully.

It's fun, and I like how I am getting better at remembering what comes next and also how my kicks are slowly getting higher and more controlled.

I like Chalene's upbeat attitude and how Anna Rita and Mindy provide visual guidance for low impact moves.

I need to have a fitness video garage sale because I am totally in love with my turbo jam dvd's. I don't even like any of the other ones I have now! Seriously, I love it!!!!

I ordered Turbojam last week. It should be here any day now! I totally can't wait for it to arrive. I even looked for the infomercial this weekend just so I could watch it! Pretty soon I'll be jammin with you all!

Hi dancediva!

I think you will be very, very happy with Turbo Jam! Take time with the "Learn and Burn" so that you become very familiar with the basic moves. Chalene uses these moves over and over again in different combinations in all the DVDs. The "WHEEL" is one of my favorites because it is fun, and it works the lats.

Chalene never uses put downs or makes you feel anything but happy as you work out! She's always reminding about having fun and enjoying the workout. I think that is SO important!

Be sure to check back here after you try it out!

Thanks Cheryl! I can't wait! I used to go to Jazzercise and loved it. I can't go anymore because the time they have class conflicts with my work schedule. I've allways loved to workout while dancing and there used to be some kickboxing routines done at Jazzercise so I thought this sounds perfect. I'll let you know how it goes. In the mean time I should get my booty on the boing old treadmill!

Hi DanceDiva!

Today I did Cardio Mix 3. There are a number of newer moves in that one that aren't in the others, so I will need to practice!

Way to go Cheryl! Your weight loss is very impressive! Are you on an eating plan as well? I'm going the wrong way! I hope my help is on the way. Allthough I know I have to be the one to work the program.

[dancediva33]

Hey Babygrant, are you on the Blue team from biggest loser thread? I'm on the Red team. You gals are doing great! Now I know your secret weapon!

[Cheryl14]

Hi DanceDiva!

I JUST broke an EIGHT MONTH PLATEAU, so I know how going the wrong way can feel!

I've created my own plan based on eating the right portions of nutritious foods, adding more fiber to my diet, increasing the water I drink, watching fats, while TRYING to double my exercise. I read a lot about what REALLY works rather than try out any "wonder" plan that claims a quick fix.

First I just had to get committed to wanting to go the distance to lose this weight. I had to get my head in the right place. A Christmas photo of me at 275 pounds was my wake-up call. That was Christmas 1999. I've been zig-zagging along since then. My first loss was 25 lbs. within the first six months. My next big loss of 20 pounds was a number of months later in 2001. I stayed pretty much the same weight for the next couple years. I had another lagging period until August of 2005 when our oldest son became engaged and I thought how great it would be to weigh at HIS wedding what I weighed AT MY OWN WEDDING back in 1976!

I set my goal and went for it! I have lost 68 pounds toward my goal. At 55 and menopausal the task is tougher than it would have been if I just would have gotten my act together sooner. I'm hanging in there, though! I will make it!

You will, too!

Hi Cheryl! Thanks for sharing your story. It helps to see other people struggle and find success. Your plan sounds very sensible and that's what I need. I've got to quit jumping on the fad band wagon. It only sets me up for failure then I feel very bad. I did have a good day today and did not eat everything in sight! Turbo Jam still hasn't come but any day now!

Babygrant- Good for you!!! You are doing very well! Your weight loss is showing it! I might have to share your secrets with the Red Team (hee, hee, just kidding ).

Have a good night. Maybe my package will be here tomorrow.
