I bought the DVD a few years back and I'm thinking about using it tonight. If you've used it before, did it work for you?

    Hi there. I own it and it's fun and it works, but I got really bored with it quickly. Some of the punching sets are very lengthy.

    I own it and I actually really like it. I do Turbo Jam almost everyday because I really like the moves and how up beat it is. I burn about 400 calories doing the 44 minute video and I do the 20 minute abs which is right under 100 calories. Have I lost weight? Yes but I do a lot of other stuff with it as well like running, walking, step & zumba class and the elliptical. It's a fun video so working out isn't so boring!:smile:

    Hi,

    i love Turbo Jam. Cardio party and the 20 minute workout are my favorite. Right now I'm doing P90X, but I still do Turbo 2 nights a week. It's fun, upbeat and I don't feel like I'm working out at all. It burns a ton of calories! I am losing inches. I havent weighed myself for about 3 weeks now and I'm actually waiting a couple more weeks. I get too discouraged if the scale doesnt move. But my pants are getting too big now! So something must be coming off!

    You should give it a try! I love it!

    I just tried the cardio party for the first time today. Itwas hard to keep up but I bet it will be easier once I learn the moves. I felt so goofy I knew I looked ridiculous, but it was fun and I laughed at myself and just kept going. I sweated as much as if I'd run on the elliptical. I feel like it will be a good video. I don't even like the music they use on the video, but I got so into it it was fun anyway!

    LOVE Turbo Jam! I'm not sure which video you have, but my faves are Cardio Party 3 and Punch/Kick/Jam. I do lots of different workouts, but these definitely work.

    I LOVE Turbo Jam :) It's so much fun. It's my favorite exercise video group and i've tried them all. I don't even feel like I'm working out! When I was doing it consistently I noticed huge results in a couple weeks, but haven't done it in a while...

    I looked it up on Youtube to get an idea because though I hear about it often, I really am not too familiar with it. Here's a clip of a girl doing it to the tape.

    I like the look of it, (turbo jam), looks like fun plus a good workout!:drinker: :tongue: I think I'm gonna check it out:wink:

    Do you use the gloves (hand weights?) and how do they work exactly? Like more impact for your body or?

    Thanks for any replies:wink:

    hm, reading through a few more posts wonder if someone more familiar with them all can recommend the order to do them in, or purchase them in? Was just now watching a Cardio Party 3 clip on You Tube and someone had shared it was all her workouts mixed together so she doesn't explain them on this DVD like the others.

    So I would take it this is one to do after you learn her moves better?? Anyone with tips?:wink:
    Thanks!

    I have used weighted gloves, and I'm not sure about intensity, but I know my arms are sore the next day.

    Thanks for the feedback Amy!:flowerforyou: Well if your arms are sore the next day, sounds like the gloves are effective then, appreciate the response back:wink:
