I just finished 30DS. I did not lose a pound. :( I know I could have eaten better but still. It's a little disheartening but I do feel stronger and can feel more definition in my muscles.

Anyway, the cardio strength combo was working the last time I tried 30DS, but I think I need more cardio. I was going to move on to Ripped in 30 but I think I'm going to do either Turbo Jam or Insanity.

I tried Insanity before and all the jumping hurt my foot. I'm willing to try again but which is the more effective workout?
My daughter's birthday party is in 6 weeks and I wanna be a hot mama!

    I finished P90X in October, and I thought I'd like TurboFire.. I hated it and returned it after a couple of weeks. I'm not into the smiling and dancing workouts. I want to sweat, grunt, and cuss like a sailor while I'm putting my body to the extreme.

    So I got Insanity instead. Starting today, so I have no real opinion on it yet. But all I know is that TurboFire was plucking on my last nerve.

    lol, to the above poster, I was JUST about to review Turbofire for her. I love it by the way. I do like the smiling and all, it's as intense as you want to make it, I think it's a nice medium between turbojam which is easier and insanity which is harder. it has a strength component w/ resistance bands, core work, yoga, HITT routines, and regular cardio workouts, worth the money.

    I'm also a big fan of Turbo Fire. I love how positive and motivating Chalene is but the main thing that makes me love TF is the music. It gets me pumped. So I guess it all depends what you're looking for in a workout. Insanity is tough. The music sucks but you'll definitely get your sweat on. Turbo Fire is more like a dance party but it's also tough and you'll sweat like crazy too. Good luck!

    Turbo Jam is a lot easier than Insanity. It's still a great workout, though, depending on how in shape you are already, and what you're looking for in a workout. If you want an easier workout that has good music and is fun, TJ is the way to go. If you want a harder workout that is more bootcamp style, Insanity is where it's at. If you want an intense workout with awesome music, though, get TurboFire.
