Turbo Jammers 1/26-2/1

Hello everyone...running way behind today.
I did get in 20 min and Ab Jam...need to do Shred as soon as I get the kids lunch and son sent off to school. I might work in another workout sometime today but I doubt it

How do you like Shred? I almost ordered it last night, I still will probably. Is it very different from the Turbo Jams?

WTG Everyone!!!!! Keep up the AWESOME work!!!! I have yet to do Punch, Kick, and Jam...thinking tomorrow.

Today I did CP and TS...hoping for some pilates later tonight and maybe 20 min workout.

Hi Family,
Hi Megan, glad you're here!

Gottaloveboys - got my 20 min of pilates in over lunch hope you get yours in too! You are going to love PK & J - good luck!! I am not scheduled for that one til Sunday..

Drevansmom- good for you for taking time to get something in!! I count those times as especially rewarding because I overcame an additional obstacle (rushed for time) - that was always my excuse not to work out and then one day turned into another. i'm proud of you!:flowerforyou:

Hi to others I didn't mention ~ fun to read all of of your posts. They are so encouraging!!
Question: How are you guys logging the FB? Kickboxing or High intensity Aerobics? I don't have a HRM and you all have been pretty accurate so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks you guyS

Hi Dragonfly!
I don't know how accurate this is, but this is what I've done...
My HRM battery is dead, and I know in the past my calories burned has varied considerably depending on how hard I was working out, etc. But I did keep a log and averaged them and for the CP's, P,K&J, and Fat Blaster I average about 450 calories for 50 minutes. Of course I have to adjust for the different workout times (it's 9 calories/minute). I looked online and that seems close to what others have posted and it's pretty close to kickboxing on this site.
Still, I can't wait to get my battery!!!

I burn about 300-350 cals doing Fat Blaster...since I'm a newbie to it I take it pretty slow. Remember cals burned depend on weight, age and intensity. And I figure it's always better to figure guess lower than higher!


Finally got my shred in...had to stop about 10 minutes in to clean up baby throw up...but I finished!

Got in my Cardio Party workout today, all without pauses and stoggages :glasses: so I am delighted I could do it!

My feel are feeling it now though, they feel like they are on fire and topped with blisters but I am due to see the Chiropodist tormorrow so hopefully she will have a cure for me!

My weigh in is also tomorrow am and I have everything crossed... :indifferent:

its nearly 11pm here so I'm off to bed!! See you all tomorrow!!

Hello everyone.

I have been using this site since the beginning of Jan and I really love it. I'm also a huge fan of Turbo Jam. I purchased the original 5 or 6 a couple of years ago and recently started doing them again. I love Cardio Party 2 and the Lower Body Jam. I just purchased the Chalene's Get on the Ball package with the 2 dvd's. Has anyone done these yet? I'm very excited to try something new. I was also wondering if anyone had tried the Live ones & if they were much different.

Lyn_Matthews

Welcome msplatts!!! I just purchased the Live Booty and Abs and I love it. It is such a great workout. I don't know about it being "live" they "claim" they are in a real turbo jam class....but no...classroom maybe but it's not a gym class :laugh: Regardless of the setting I love the workout. Cardio Party 2 is also my fav. I don't do the lower body as often as I should. I have a real hard time gettin the strength/toning workouts in....but I love to do the cardios. I watched a clip of the ball routines online and it wasn't anything I wanted to try but I hope it's something you enjoy.
Thanks for joining us. Hope to see you around a lot.

Deedun-Yea for getting all the way thru CP :drinker: Hope the doc can get you some help for your blisters.

After sitting in a 3hour (yes 3:grumble: ) traffic jam due to an accident. I finally made it home ... and did Fat Blaster!! WOO HOO. 4 Turbos wore me out~ and helped me get my gratitude back I was PO'd /bc I thought I'd miss getting in an extra workout (dang, I'm selfish!) and I was tired from work ... but what about the accident? At least I get to go home. Never did get to see what happened , had to turn around and go 30 miles out of the way to get home. Anyway, very grateful to be safe and home and healthy. Saying a prayer for those involved and their families...
Deeduns, glad you are going to the drs- hope they can give you some help with your sore tootsies! I just know your weigh in is going to go great!
Drevansmom - I was thinking the same thing about the strength/toning exercises - I haven't done any weights since I got turbo jam (except for the gloves) Maybe tomorrow instead of the 20min and the ab jam... .but I don't know.. these are so fun!
I am taking my tired tail to bed ~ just wanted to say nite to all

God Bless

Lyn_Matthews

Dragonfly I bet those turbos were a good way to take out the built up frustrations from the drive home. Glad you made it home safe and sound...hope those involved are okay too. I'm gonna call it a night as well. See you all tomorrow.

megan0313

Dragonfly, sorry to hear about your difficult night last night, but way to go with the Fat Blaster!:drinker: I problably would have plopped on the couch with a bowl of popcorn and sulked all night :grumble: You're right though, an "attitude of gratitude" is so important in reaching our goals...thanks for setting a good example! Not sure what I'm doing today...I really need to do some toning so I think my goal will be Fat Blaster and 3T.
Have a great day everyone :flowerforyou:

Dragonfly11

Good Morning Jam Family,
Hey Megan0313 good to see you up and motivated! That sure helps me, thanks:drinker: I was up at 430 this morning and I did Firm's Cardio overdrive (30 min high + weights) so I got some "strength training" in this week. Going to do my pilates at lunch - I penciled myself in:laugh: Might try 20min + ab Jam when I get home ~ we'll see how it goes. Sure does help me to make a schedule of what the workouts I'm trying to get in. Since I've been on this site I have worked out more than I ever have. Thanks for the support and keeping me accountable:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Hope everyone has a smile on their face and has a fantastic day!

check ya later

Good morning ladies!! I did CP and 3T today. This was the first time I've done 3T and I'll tell you what that is a GREAT toning workout. My triceps are still burning! I'm ready to give up the Shred, because all though it works...TJ is so much more fun. I think if I did 3T and Live Booty & Abs it would be pretty close to the same workout as Shred. Chalean is so much more inspiring and friendly and inviting and Jillian well she just annoys me. I think after I put in my "30 days" with Shred its going to the bottom of the pile. Turbo Jam is where it's at...I don't know how people do anything else!

Dragonfly11

Hey Drevansmom!
good for you for getting in a great workout - missed pilates at lunchl one my trainees wanted to sleep thru lunch :grumble: That means work to do when I get home!! I am going to try FB again and get in another good 30min - maybe CP .. we'll see how it goes.
Curious though, what is 3T - is that the totally tubular turbo?? I suspect it is. Glad to know it's effective and fun. So far I haven't been disappointed with any of the TJ workouts.
I agree with you about sticking w/ TJ. It was so funny .. when I did Firm this morning I felt like something was missing (music, fun.. sweat, lol) I feel like I am sweating more w/ TJ so to me that means I'm working harder and burning more calories. Chalene is much more friendly and engaging than the other instructors I have been working with. Guess I'm with you; It's TJ all the way!!!:happy:

Hope you have an outstanding day!:flowerforyou:

gottaluvboyz

WTG Everyone!!!! You ladies are mentioning all these additional videos and I find myself wanting to go out and buy more TJ dvd's now (I just got my first set only 2 weeks ago lol).

I fully intended to try PK & J for the first time today, but I didn't have it in me to try something new (aka...deal w/ choreography I don't know:noway: ). So I did CP and 20 min workout. I'm planning on Ab Jam and pilates once the kiddos are in bed.

Have a great day all...keep on jammin!!!!

I did 3T today along with PK&J which is my current fav...I love the capaeira part towards the end. I'm glad you posted that about Shred. I was thinking of getting it for some variation, but now I think I'll stick with Chalene...I just love her!

Hey there fellow jammers .. sorry I have been MIA .. but Wednesdays are my busy days .. with kids in school, skating and hockey!! But I am back and still sticking to my Jam sessions! I have been fighting through them this week .. been a long week but I am still hanging on .. and once the workout it done I am so happy I did!! :bigsmile:

I just have one question ... I do one workout a day .. but most of you talk about doing 2-3 videos a day .. where do you find the time .. and is it really necessary? :noway:

I love the capaeira stuff too. it's so much fun. If you want variation get new TJ dvds. I think its the only way to go.

We actually see this question a lot on this thread. I think it is totally up to you what you do. I do whatever I can get in before my DD wakes from her nap or until she can't play happily anymore. Sometimes it one workout, sometimes its 3. Since I like to eat, I try to do as much as I can so I have more calories to eat :happy:

Nice to see you :flowerforyou: I know exactly how you feel about fighting through the workouts, I do it alot. This thread really helps me though! As far as doing multiple DVD's...I don't think it's necessary, I work from home and if I'm feeling restless I'll try to do an extra workout instead of raiding the fridge! But most days as long as I get one in I'm happy.

Skipped the Turbo yesterday and spent an hour and a half shoveling snow and ice! Did Cardio Party 2 tonight and feel great!

Hello everyone! I am new on here...but not new to Turbo Jam. I had my son a little over a year ago and gained almost 100 pounds and I am happy to say that I have lost all of the weight and then some with Turbo Jam! Now I have about 28 more pounds to lose! Still working on it! This program really works and I am so excited to find you guys on here. I had no idea Turbo Jam had new videos out. I have been working with CP, Kick Punch Jam, Ab Jam and Sculpting. I also have the HW and love the workouts with these! I am excited to see you guys on here and love the support you guys give! I am going to order the new videos and keep you guys posted!

Yuck I hate shoveling but it burns calories! I would consider it a full workout

Happy Friday Jam Family,
We made it WOO HOO!
Welcome Jalley and Meanness - glad you all are here! We need ya!
Hey Megan and Drevansmom.. and anyone else I missed :flowerforyou:
Felt sick this morning (one of my students was sick and hacking all over the training room yesterday and I am fight off something - I am not receiving it, lol!
Did CP this am and it was awesome -already seeing big improvement in my endurance.
Put on jeans this am that we really snug and they fit normally!! That felt really good.
Hope everyone is staying focused, sweating and having a fantastic day.

Thinking about AB JAM tonight and trying CP2 in the am - Tomorrow's weigh in day and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for some good news!

Keep up the good work everybody!

megan0313

Hi Turbo Jammers!
Hey Dragonfly! Hope you don't catch anything nasty!
Well I did Fat Blaster this morning and some pilates. Also we had a big snow storm this am and couldn't get out of my driveway, so I "hiked" to the convenience store about 1/2 mile away for some necessities. Still don't have my HRM working so I'm just taking that as a bonus workout
I have a little success story to share with you guys...because you all helped me get there WOO HOO...
I FINALLY reached my goal weight this morning!!!! I've been stuck at 2 lbs over since September and had just about accepted that this was how it was going to be (which really was ok). But all of you being so motivated and committed helped me to kick it up a notch and it worked! So THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU :flowerforyou:
So all together I've lost 22 lbs in the past year...8 before I really started logging in on here and the other 14 after. So now I'm on to maintainance and I'm a teeny bit nervous...I don't want to start gaining, but I really don't want to lose any more either, so I'm just gonna keep doing what I've been doing here, logging and checking in and adjust my calories accordingly.
Hope everyone's having a great day!!!
