Evening Ladies! Well, I got a burst of energy this evening and did some Hip Hop Abs. I
those workouts! They probably destress me more than Yoga, but I'm going to try incorporating at least 10 minutes of Yoga every other night and see if that helps during the busy time at work. I can hardly wait for the weekend!!!

Good Morning Ladies!!! It's FINALLY Friday...yeah!!!
I was really feeling the work stress creeping up on me this AM, so I decided to do a nice long workout. I did Mel B's Totally Fit Workout--90 minutes long. I'm telling you, this is the toughest workout I own (and I own close to 100 different workout DVD's). This is my 3rd time, and WOW! Your arms, legs, butt, abs, everything just burns when you are done. I can barely walk...I wonder what tomorrow will be like!
I'm hoping for a low stress day at work and a fun weekend with the fam! Have a great Friday everyone!0 -
TGIF!!! I am SO glad its Friday. Although, no big plans, and the hubby has tons of work to do for school. So, he'll be busy with projects and studying for exams while I get to work out!!
Last night did Turbo Kick and watched & practiced some of the major moves for ChaLean Extreme. I really like some of the moves that are non-traditional. I am pretty excited to start the first phase tomorrow.
I am still so sore from my Cardio Pump class from Wednesday (I LOVE THAT CLASS!), but I think I am going to do some major cardio tonight. 40 minutes on the treadmill and another 40 minutes of Turbo Kick. Then I'm going to do more strength training tomorrow...pretty stoked!
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! It finally snowed here...and I'm really not that thrilled- I hate driving in snowy weather!0 -
i know ive only been jamming for not too long but i just fet so bummed yesturday hardly put any effort into the fat blaster and cardio party i shut off half way through. baby was crying anyways. just had a bad fat day i guess.
making up for it today by doing the 20 minute workout along with the strength training one. i wish it wasnt cold outside id go get some running in too.
anyone run in place inside? ive considered it!0 -

I definitely have those days...had one yesterday! I just couldn't get into my workout and put in almost no effort, so I came back strong with my evening workout! Some days you just gotta let it go and try again later or make up for it the next day.
I've never ran in place for an extended time period, but I do run the stairs sometimes...we have a 4 level split, so it's a lot of work!0 -
Angel-
Love the new profile pic! Looks like you're having great results!0 -
Aw thanks Erika! Yea I've been futzing around with my camera and I have to edit the photos before posting coz MFP says they are too big..lol Anyway, just changed it again, probably more to come later! But thank you I am feeling great about how I look after CE..YESYESYES!
So today I went for my long AM run (6 miler) and just finished Burn It Off and a Recharge session as well! I'm heading out of town this weekend (tomorrow afternoon) and will be back Sunday prolly later evening...so I have got to pack my healthy snacks to be prepared! Visiting my bro and sis in law this weekend and I am making a Lean Lasagna to take up for dinner. Along with some sweet potato and cinnamon brownies outta the Clean Eating mag..hope they are yummy! And hopefully can hop on the treadmill Sunday AM
Check back later everyone!0 -
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
I rocked out TurboKick Round 30---WOW!!! I TuboKick!!! Now, I'm ready to get the day started!!
Hope you all have a safe and fun Halloween!0 -
Hello Ladies! I was able to get up early this morning and do my 4 mile run, which was SO refreshing. I have to do it at the gym now that it is snowing, ugh! But, I have added some inclines to give me some extra calorie burn and leg strengthening! I also FINALLY got my CE yesterday, so I did the first Burn Circuit, loved it! My husband wants to exercise tonight, he was bummed he couldn't go with me this morning...so we'll probably do something tonight as well. Hope you all have a great weekend!!
Erika, I LOVE Round 30! I did Round 33 last night, so good! I always sweat way more doing the Rounds than I do when I run...its a crazzzzy good workout!0 -
Good Morning Ladies!!!!! What a long (in a good way) weekend! I am feeling a little off this morning though! We had my hubby's family over yesterday, and something I ate is not agreeing with me, so I've had a stomachache since last night. Hoping it goes away quickly!
I still got my ChaLean in and HHA. Maybe some Yoga tonight to stretch out!
Hope you all have a fantastic Monday!0 -
Hi I am new here and really want to start an exercise program I can stick with. I just want to invest in one at the moment so would you recommend Turbo Jammers? I also saw the Chalean and Hip Hop abs. Which is your favorite? Thanks!0

It's depends on what you like. Turbo Jam is funky style kickboxing. Think a kickboxing with a little dancy movement to it, and great music. If you like kicking, punching, jabing, you'll love it. Hip Hop Abs is more cardio focused on the abs, set to Hip Hop beats. If you love Hip Hop and dance moves, you'd like this one a lot. I also own ChaLean. This is mainly a strength training program, with some cardio on your "off" strength days. I also love this one.
I'd say you've got it narrowed down to my 3 favorites. To determine which one, you'll have to know what style you like...dancy, kicking, or weight based...Hope that helps!
P.S. I'd say most people start with Turbo Jam and work up to ChaLean.0 -
Good morning. I did Lean 1 this morning. I am ready to get back on track after an indulging birthday week.
I have two weeks left of CX and then I am going to start Turbo Jam.
det3386- I did it backwards and started out with ChaLEAN Extreme. I love the program. I just ordered Turbo Jam and I have not received it yet so I can't tell you how I like it, but I love Chalene so I don't think you can go wrong with any of her programs.0 -
Hello Turbo Jammers! Glad to hear the weekend was good. Yesterday was my rest day, and did it ever feel good! I even fit a nap in there...I love Sunday afternoon naps! Tonight I'm going to get a good hard workout with Turbo Kick Round 33, using the weighted gloves. It's kind of sad but I get really excited on my Turbo Kick days...definitely don't get that way on my running days for some reason. Then I'm going to do my CE Burn 2. (I love the variety of all of the Chalene workouts, it definitely keeps me from getting bored doing the same thing everyday)
I'm assuming that with the ChaLean Extreme.. you can rotate between the 3 circuits on the Phases? Example: Saturday I did Burn 1, tonight I'll do Burn 2 circuit.....??
I'm assuming thats what it is, in order to get a well rounded muscle workout in the week.... but it never exactly says that.
Then.... dishes and laundry. Thats gotta be some more calories..right? Haha! Have a great night!0 -

I found calendars online (if you get me your email, I'll send them to you), that show the workout schedule. It should be Burn Circuit 1, 2, 3 for 4 weeks then Push 1, 2, 3 for 4 weeks and Lean 1, 2, 3 for 4 weeks. She has the Abs and Cardio workouts thrown into the calendar too.
I just Turbo Kick! I'm like you, I can't wait to do them. I also use the weighted gloves and it's soooo much fun! What's your favorite round? I've done 28, 29 and 30 so far. I'd say 30 is my fave up until now! Maybe I'll get some of that in tonight! 0 -

Ooo I found a calendar online! Thanks! I have Round 28,29,32,33...and its a toss up between Round 28 and Round 33. I go through my phases. Right now I am totally in love with Round 33! I really want to get Round 30, I think that is next on my list. I have done that Round in a class setting when one my good friends was an instructor, and I loved the kicks section!0 -
This morning was Burn It Off and Yoga with Tony Horton. I am not a huge fan of Yoga and the 10 min Yoga is the only one that I feel relaxed enough to complete.
Happy Tuesday0 -

You probably have the actual rounds, right? I just have the Fan Volumes 1, 2, 3 that have Rounds 28-33. I bet the music is better on the actual rounds?0 -

Yep I have the actual rounds. But, the music on the Rounds isn't the same as the music on the CDs. So, usually I'll hook up my ipod to the speakers, and use the "good" music to do my workouts. Too bad the videos don't have the "good" music, especially for the Fan Volumes!! Sometimes I will do the workouts without the video (works out great if I am on vacation), but a lot of times I like to use the video to perfect my technique! Last night I REALLY got into it! It felt so good! Also did CE.
Tonight it is a running night for me, hoping I can add more inclines to tonight's workout. No strength training. I probably couldn't do another squat or lung if I wanted to...haha! My bum is SORE!0 -
Hey Jammers! I feel like it's been forever! I had a great weekend though-Went out of town to visit my brother and sis in law, actually my whole family was up so it was a blast. I did very well, stayed on track Saturday night-no halloween candy for me! Just a little slice of a pumpkin bar cake my sis in law made..yum, but not so clean:blushing: ..I had made dinner (lean lasagna-totally clean!) and those sweet potato and cinnamon brownies (another clean!) I was happy that everyone enjoyed it! On Sunday AM I got a 5.6 mile run on the treadie down, and felt GREAT! The afternoon was spent shopping with the girls...hehehe..did go to Panera Bread for lunch-YUM! I really wish I had one at home....:grumble:
Anyway, Monday PM I rocked a TJ CardioPartyMix1, and tonight did the CE Burn Intervals and Extreme Abs. This one has been my regular Tuesday schedule and I just felt like sticking to it tonight
I think tomorrow if the weather holds I will be walking with my friend a little bit (it's my "rest" day anyway)..and will just be taking it easy
Have a great night girls and KEEP ROCKIN!!:drinker:0 -
Can you share that recipe for the sweet potato cinnamon brownies? Those sound delish! Thanks!!0

Morning Ladies!!!
Well, after a 2 day bout with what I figure to be food poisoning, I'm back to normal. I managed to get on the elliptical last night and then did my CE Burn 2 this AM. That was tough though, as I was really weak yesterday and only was able to eat a bunch of saltines, so I didn't have as much energy as I wanted to have to get through CE. But, there's always next time!
Hope you all have an awesome day!0 -
Erika, that is no fun! Glad to hear you are feeling better.
Lilangel- great job on the weekend! My mouth started drooling when you mentioned the lean lasagna.....might need the recipe for that! :bigsmile:
Last night I didn't get my run in, and I guess yesterday is going to be my "rest day". I was hoping I'd feel better by the time I got home last night. But, with it being my TOM I wasn't feeling very well. That happens to me at least 1 day during my TOM. I fell asleep on the couch at 8pm, my husband woke me up around 11pm to go to bed. And then I didn't wake up until 6:30 this morning! Feeling more energetic and less crampy today, so I'm going to get my run in after work, then go to my Cardio Pump class tonight. Hoping to make up for last night.
Have a great day!0 -
Hey Jammers! Was a pretty uneventful day at work today..we were kinda slow:frown: ..Anyway, it was raining tonight so no walk-I guess I really shouldn't feel bad about not getting any workouts in...it IS my "rest day":laugh: ..I was just kinda looking forward to a walk. When I think about it though, I haven't really given my body a break because my previous rest days the dr has been out of office and me and a coworker do TJ Fatblaster and AbJam, then usually I do get that walk in as well..so it feels good to let my body totally rest for once. Tomorrow though, the doc is out and we are TJ'ing! lol..I think I am going to do a CE Burn or Push workout to keep on track with that too. Anyway enough about my lameness...
Erika-So proud of you for hoping right back to it! Don't be too hard on yourself..but that's always my problem too:blushing: I (thank the lord) have not gotten sick and I don't claim that I will! Ha-sickness you cannot touch me!:drinker:
Diana-The Sweet Potato and Cinnamon Brownies recipe is out of the Clean Eating Magazine September/October issue-I absolutely LOVE this mag!
Sweet Potato and Cinnamon Brownies
For brownies:
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt (i omitted)
1 cup cooked sweet potato
1/2 cup agave nectar (I used less)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
6 egg whites
olive oil cooking spray
For Icing:
1/2 cup low-fat plain cream cheese (i used weight watchers cream cheese spread)
3 tbsp agave nectar (again-I used less)
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp water (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare brownies by combining flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking powder and salt. Set aside. In a food processor, combine sweet potato, agave, oil and vanilla. Puree until smooth. Gradually mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients, until just combined; do not overmix. In a separate dry bowl, whisk egg whites until fluffy. then using rubber spatula, gently fold into batter. Lightly spray baking pan (9x9x2") with cooking spray. Pour batter into pan and place into oven. bake for about 16-18 minutes. Allow to cool. Prepare icing by combining cream cheese, agave, cocoa powder and cinnamon. Whisk until completely mixed, adding 1 tbsp water if too hard to whisk. Cover and refrigerate until needed. Loosen brownies and turn slab onto a cutting board. Cut into 16 pieces, wrap with plastic and refrigerate overnight (I didn't do this-left the brownies in the pan and when cooled frosted them and they were just fine). To serve, divide icing evenly over each brownie and serve immediately. Serves 16

Dawna-Heres the Lean Lasagna!
Lean Lasagna
Serves 8
Ingredients:
veggie oil cooking spray
1/2 cup chopped onion (I used green onions)
1 lb ground turkey breast
3 cups tomato sauce (I used homemade tomato sauce)
3 tbsp italian seasoning (I used 1 tsp each basil, parsley and oregano)
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup chopped mushrooms (I used 1 cup to increase the veggies!)
6 cups chopped fresh spinach (I used one box of the frozen packaged kind coz thats all I had on hand)
2 cups fat free ricotta cheese
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 pkg whole wheat lasagna noodles (about 8 oz, or 9 noodles)
2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Prep: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray medium-sized skillet with cooking spray. Saute onion for 2 minutes, then add turkey and cook another 5-7 minutes. Add tomato sauce, all seasonings and mushrooms and simmer 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat. In a bowl, combine spinach, ricotta and nutmeg. Bring large pot of water to boil-cook pasta according to pkg. Coat a 9x13" baking pan with cooking spray. Arrange 3 noodles on bottom. Spread a layer of ricotta mixture, then turkey mixture then 1/3 mozzarella. Repeat layers, ending with mozzarella. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cheese bubbles. Cool at least 5 minutes before cutting. (I baked mine for 30 minutes covered with tin foil, then another 15 minutes uncovered.)
Hope you enjoy girls! 0 -

lilangel - those recipes look great. thanks for posting
I did Burn Intervals this morning.
I got in my Turbo Jam yesterday. Read the guide and looked through everything. Can't wait to get started. I am starting to need a change up from CE. One week left and then TJ. I may do the Lean & Burn this weekend to get use the moves.
Crazy Question (you can laugh) :laugh: - I had been using a different thigh toner so I ordered the purple one. But it does not have instructions on how big or small to make it. How do I know where to tie the knot? Am I suppose to cut it or is it just suppose to be really large? :ohwell:0 -

I think you need to tie it where it's comfortable for you. I think mine is snug when I have my legs about shoulder width apart, so anything more than that is factoring resistance into it.0 -
Hey Jammers, just checking in quick on my lunch break! You are all so welcome for the recipes! I hope you enjoy-YUM. Anyway, got a TJ Fatblaster and AbJam this AM at work(:laugh: ) with my coworker. I am planning on doing a CE workout tonight too Have a great day girls! I'll check back later 0
