    OH OH OH! I forgot! There's a gym in a town pretty close to here that just opened that my friend joined. She's the one that introduced me to turbo jam & saw there was a Turbo Kick class there so she went ot check it out. Wanna guess who teaches it?! Come on....guess!

    Janelle! Chalene's sister! Soooo...guess who's getting a 14 day trial membership just to go take the class? ME! hehehe I'll have to see if she'll let me take a picture with her. :laugh: I'm sure I'll be escorted off the property, but it'll be SO worth it!

    OMG!! Where do you live...I'm gonna move!:tongue: That is so cool, I can't wait to hear all about it!

    Welcome back Tressa! :flowerforyou:

    I got DH to do PK&J with me :tongue: It was still WAY to dancey for him. He's used to doing about 50 reps of one kick, then moving onto the next move...but he was a good sport about it, although I don't think it's going to happen again anytime soon. :laugh:

    drevans_mom, what web site are you talking about? I was just thinking today that I'd like to look into being an instructor...or at least buying some stuff to feel like one!:tongue::laugh:

    deedun, keep us posted on the Chalean Extreme...I'm trying to decide if my next purchase should be that or a new HRM...mine keeps pooping out.

    Great job on the workouts today ladies!
    :heart:

    You know in the "extras" where Janelle says that she's from Ottawa Hills, Oh? It is basically Toledo, but Ottawa Hills is the best part of it. LOL I live right outside of Toledo & the gym she teaches at is about 30 min. from where I live. I agree with wanting to "feel like" an instructor. LOL Anything to make myself feel like I'm a TJ master. :laugh:

    What's a decal :indifferent: :indifferent: ???


    Oh and BTW Sara, if you ever fancy doing a house-swap just let me know!! I would do anything to live in the US !!

    A decal is basically a sticker that you can slap on your car.

    I think you'd change your mind when you saw where I live, though. We live in the part of Ohio that is called "The Great Black Swamp." It's squishy.

    Sara...that is awesome! I knew she lived in Ottawa Hills and wondered if she taught a class "locally". Then through Facebook (a wonderful thing) I discovered that one of the girls I cheered w/ in high school is taking her class. If you can join a gym I'm going to be 100% jealous, Sara:tongue: I wish we lived a tad bit closer, but the gyms in Port Clinton and/or Fremont are better suited for us:grumble:

    For the record glad to know I'm not the only who dreams of becoming an instructor LOL. Oh, what a great group of leaders we would all be:bigsmile:

    Anywhoooo...add 20 min and Ab Jam to my workouts for the day.

    Please virtual slap me tomorrow if I don't report doing TS:wink:

    Instructor info and gear!

    I know there is a Turbo Kick instructor on MFP....don't recall her name at the moment, she used to be on this thread but she's gone missing. I will keep dreaming of growing up to be like Chalene. Sara if you go to Jalene's class I wanna hear all about it.

    hello ladies ~ sorry its been awhile. Our t.v. took a dump on us last week, so we had to go out and buy a new one. And let me tell you, it was not the funnest shopping trip!!!! My loving hubby (who couldn't make up his mind) and our two little ones (who were with and getting antsy cuz it was close to supper) made this one frustrating trip to Target I think I could have imagined. Its like my hubby was a kid in the toy isle and couldn't decide which "toy" was the best/biggest to get. :grumble: But, we finally got a t.v. and I was able to get back on track today. I did the 20 min workout, and the L1 of the 30 day shred. Aiming for CP tomorrow!!! (and another round of 30 day shred)

    Don't ya just love it when hubby's get all 5 year old on you? :grumble: Sorry about the tv, though! That sucks when something big like that breaks unexpectedly. Good luck getting back into it! I'm sure you'll do great! :flowerforyou:

    I think I mostly dream of being an insturctor simply for my own well being. If I'm an instructor, that means that I can actually breathe & talk during the workouts! :laugh: That is a fitness goal in itself! :laugh:

    How does your friend like her class? The only bad thing about it (from the website) is that it is only offered Thur. nights at 6:30 & Sat. mornings at 8:30. I'm not sure which one would be more full...ehh...

    Thanks for the link, Lyn! I'll have to go spend money there later today. :laugh:

    Today is cardio so I'm not sure what I'm doing yet. Tuesdays are also grocery store trip & speech therapy days for M so they get a little crazy. I'm thinking maybe FB at nap time & PK&J with dh tonight. We'll see. *shrug* I need new cardio!

    DANG it's early..silly baby woke up at 3 and still hasn't gone back to sleep!!!

    Welcome back Tressa and Annette!! Tressa I that whatever sidelined you has been resolved and that everything is going well. Annette, sorry to hear about the tv and the boy in the toy store :laugh:

    Sara-do you have all the CPs? You don't have 3 right...maybe you should get it...I :heart: it. I also love that I have enough dvds now to keep it interesting. I bet she doesn't have anything new out cuz she's been working on ChaLEAN extreme....ugh. When you see Jalene tell them to get back to work and make us a new workout :laugh:

    I hope everyone has a lovely day. I'm hoping to go back to sleep for a little while as soon as the baby crashes.

    I WILL! I'm also requesting a yoga/tai chi DVD from them. :laugh: I have a list. :wink:

    I think I'll get CP3 next since all y'all talk to highly of it. I have FB, PK&J & CP1, but I'm getting tired of rotating them, kwim? I need a new one to add to the mix!

    I hope Adi lets you get back to sleep soon!

    Hi Everybody,
    Checking in this morning w/ 20min TJ and Sculpt - ouch! I can still feel it. Really going to push to add 3 strength training days this week- 1 down 2 more to go, Woo Hoo!

    Babybeans- OMG!! How exciting for you to be able to take a class w/ Janelle - she is going to really push you!! From the dvds she is always just throwing herself into it - I watch her for extra motivation!!
    Girl, I want to hear all about it.

    Drevansmom - I fantasize about becoming a TJ instructor in my "moments" too!! I think it would be awesome to put your energies into helping other people get fit and feel better. I agree with Gottaluvboys, I think we would all make fantastic leaders:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    Hope everyone is motivated and on track; it's gonna be a great day "babydolls"!!

    See ya later,
    J

    hello everyone!

    Checking in with cp3 and booty sculpt and abs today.

    Babybeans, I was really watching Janelle on CP3 today and man, Dragonfly is right, she goes ALL OUT! That's gonna be some class! I've been trying to up my intensity lately. I've noticed since I'm getting in better shape I have to push myself alot harder to get my heart rate up higher...which is good...but tiring!!!:yawn: Have you guys noticed this?

    Dragonfly, I'm trying to get in more strength training and abs too. I really have to order the CD with AbJam and Turbo Sculpt on it again. I gave my original to a friend about a year ago :grumble:

    drevans_mom, hope you got some more rest! :flowerforyou: Oh, and thanks for the link...that's a cool site!

    Have a great day everyone!!
    :heart:

    Megan - JessMomof3 on here is a beachbody coach if you need to order anything. I do watch Janelle a lot in the videos. My husband laughs when he works out with me b/c he tires to immitate her & he says he feels like the Karate Kid. :laugh: I initially have a hard time getting my HR up in the 20 min. & the CP1, but I ultimately get it up after the first 10-15 min. & then it is usually "too" high. PK&J...that thing kicks my butt start to finish. ALWAYS tired after that one!

    Dragonfly - I'm excited about it, too! I think I'm going to sign up for the trial membership today & try to get out of the house Thur. night & go take the class. I hope I can make this work! I want to go SO bad! Good job with the workout! TS kicks my butt! I aim to do that 3-4 times a week & I've noticed such a change in my body since I've been doing it the past 2 months. Not much of a weight change, but things are shaping up nicely. :bigsmile:

    First, glad to know I'm not the only one watching Janelle...that girl has a spring in her step and she goes all out. I love when they come in close on her. I guess I'm like Doug and imitate her, too:blushing:

    WTG on those workouts ladies. Drevans mom...hope you get some rest today:flowerforyou:

    Sara...cannot wait to hear about the class. I wish Eric's hours were not so crazy and long:grumble:

    Just finished CP...MUST do TS and perhaps some pilates as well tonight.

    Sara-yoga/tai chi from Turbo Jam? Or something else? I would love to see your list! I would be interested in seeing Chalene's PiYo workouts. Her Hip Hop Hustle would be fun too. As for HRs I can usually get mine up in the warm up and then keep it in the zone until the turbo and then I push it, but I've noticed this only applies to CP2 and CP3. Pk&J and CP1 are another story and of course FB is out of control.

    Megan-I keep thinking that I should be able to work harder and have my HR stay in the zone but it hasn't played out like that yet. I still have a lot of belly fat, but I know I've got muscle under it :smile: Great job on your workout today!


    Dragonfly I think that since we've all been the "fat" girls we would be motivational in getting others to know that they can do it. I've been telling everyone that I'm doing Turbo Jam and they kinda give me that "you mean the infomercial?" look and I'm like Hey it works! I actually had someone here on MFP email me the other day and ask if ALL my results have come from just Turbo Jam...I very proudly responded YES!!!

    I got back to sleep about 6 this mornin and slept until 9:30. So my schedule is all off today but I'm just gonna get my workout in after Dre goes to school and hopefully Adi will go down for a LONG nap. I'll check in after I get my workout in.

    just checkin' in....I got my CP in this morning, but had to stop once for my little one. Am going to aim for the 3T tonight. I just watched it, and it looks like a good kick butt toning workout.

    just curious?? which lady is janelle?

    Good job on the workout...3T is a great kick butt toning workout! I think I'm gonna do that tomorrow.

    I haven't done CP1 in a while, but in CP3 and KP&J and Booty Sculpt, Janelle is to Chalene's left. Here's a link a found to Chalene's blog that has a pic of both of them so you can recognize her.

    Checkin in with CP2. I wanted to do Lower body today but DD isn't allowing it. So I'm quickly eating some lunch and then I gotta jump in the shower. We had a major hail storm a couple hours ago and now it's beautiful so I can't wait to go walk!

    Have a great afternoon ladies.

    Hey Everybody,
    Thanks for the link ~ now I am craving all of the Turbo "goodies" (especially that studded hoodie w/ the 11 on it, too cute!)
    Anyway - can someone tell me what the difference is between TJ and Turbo Kick? Sounds like the same thing to me??

    Anyone know?:huh:
