okay, I've been hovering all over beachbody.com and I see the videos for Turbo Jam workouts; however, are there two different ones or just the Turbo Jam Max b/c when I go to order I don't see anything for just plain Turbo Jam. I don't mind to get the Max, but would kinda like to try it out before spending all that money!…

Duration changes on walking/jogging?
So I found a good place to walk/jog & I've been working up my jogging a bit(I'm really out of shape). Right now my pattern is walk 3 min/jog 1min. My question is when I up the amt of time I'm jogging to say 2 min, when would it be good to start lowering the amt of time I'm walking & in what ratio?

Why don't you gain calories with weight training?
hi, I'm fairly new at this, but why would I not gain calories in my food area when I did a weight training workout? I thought weight training allowed your metabolism to work longer than when you do a cardio workout? I'm confused. Help.

Mid-workout slump - help!
Hey, so I'm taking a Turbo Kick class this semester (basically turbo jam in class form, for those of you familiar with it) and it's generally about 40 min of straight *kitten*-busting. I've been at it for about 6 weeks twice a week and I've gotten so I can handle the first 15 min or so of class pretty well, but about 15-20…

Stronger Better Faster Oct 13th
Good morning! Did everyone get a restful night of sleep? I woke up a little stressed. It's going to be busy today and tomorrow morning and I got worried about how Alex is going to handle it all. He's liable to shut himself in his room again. This morning is cleaning and push ups. This afternoon is a party at a bounce…

Yoga Challenge
I tend to put off yoga more than other exercise, I think because it doesn't give the same results as cardio, etc. I always mean to get around to it, but hardly ever do! I love how it makes me feel though, both physcially and emotionally. So I'm challanging myself to do at least 10 minutes of yoga everyday(and of course…
