Turbo Accomplishments!

as i neared the end of my Punch, Kick, & Jam workout this morning (had an urge to do this workout today because i just it and even though i have been Turbo Fire and CLX - i have NEVER taken Punch, Kick, & Jam out of the rotation! ) i started to think about how far i have come since the first day i popped in a Turbo Jam workout and pushed play.
i was 30lbs heavier and i couldn't get through the Punch, Kick & Jam routine at all - i actually stopped it in frustration and thought that i would never be able to get through it, much less enjoy it. that was 2007. when i really committed to being healthy at the start of 2009, i thought - OH NO YOU DON'T Turbo! i WILL take you down!
i remember feeling like i was dying, noodle legs, and sore feet. i remember having to modify tons of moves and taking several water breaks. but what i remember most is the sense of accomplishment i felt when i finally DID make it through Punch, Kick, & Jam and how utterly AMAZING it felt to get through the capoeira routine at the end (still the most powerful moves!!). for 6 months the Punch, Kick, & Jam routine became my go to "LCW" workout (last chance workout) the day before my weigh-ins. finishing it today reminded me of how much stronger, motivated, and aware i am of my own abilities! oooooooooie i LOVE me some TURBO!!
so turbo friends, what are YOU proud of and what turbo accomplishments can YOU brag about??? :bigsmile:

Hey, I just bought Turbo Fire for my wife. She's into that and I thought it would be fun to do. I'll probably do it too. I've got P90X, Insanity and I just got Asylum in the Mail! Great job on your accomplishments! Keep it up.0

As a fairly new user (started in Feb 2011), I'm looking forward to being where you are with TF. Right now, it's a huge deal for me when I can keep up with PKJ, doing ALL of every section without stopping. Some days I still have to take a break or jog for the last few second of a segment, but sometimes I can go all the way through. That really feels like an accomplishment.0

I bought Turbo Jam originally back in 2006-ish. It stayed put away when I got a personal trainer and a full time gym membership. Ive recently pulled the DVDs back out, and MAN DID I MISS THEM! Im trying to build myself back up to where I was before, but Im going longer every time and my moves are more efficient. Its a GREAT time.0

I'm on week 5 of P90X and my wife wanted to work out together, but did not want to do P90X (didn't excite her) So I told her to find one he liked and I would do it with her...she decide on Turbo Fire, so I am doing P90X in the morning and Turbo Fire with her at night. I am only on my second day with it but I do like the high energy!0

You know, it's the little victories for me. When it's 5:30 in the morning and I smile because I got my second wind right around the time "Boom, I Got Your Boyfriend" starts playing. When I put 10 % more in, just because I now can. And especially when I don't curse at Chalene when she tells me that I'm not tired, when I REALLY am!0

Yes more Turbo fans! I'm in my 2nd week of religiously doing TJ and funny enough all last week, all I did was Punch, kick and Jam. First 4 days were rough but now its getting easier. Yesterday I did my 50 mins of PKJ and later that day did an extra 20 mins starting off from the capoiera part. I LOVE that part, love it love it. It makes you feel awesome and tough.
So yeah, in just a week I've already seen huge improvements in my endurance. Today did the Cardio Part Mix 3 and finished it no problem, of course pouring sweat and all but my lungs don't bother me at all anymore. I love how fit these videos get you and so quickly too.
I'm a TJ fan for life! Looking to start doing Turbofire in a couple of months after doing this. Can't wait0 -
i have turbo jam, and i love it all really havent gotten around to trying it all because a lot of it is muscle building i need to burn fat FAT AND MORE FAT first !!!0

these are all so awesome!! and yes it IS the little things that matter, because after a while the little things add up! i didn't have trouble with PK&J one time and do it perfectly the next week! it took a lot of work to build up the strength and endurance, especially after 25 years of basically never exercising so keep patting yourselves on the back, we are all doing SOMETHING and staying MINDFUL of our health each and every day - and that is the biggest accomplishment of them all! :bigsmile:0
