haven't done turbo jam in about a week or two and I feel down and lazy.
MUST START TODAY!
encouragement please!
You can do it!!! At least get in a 20 minute TJ, and then maybe you'll be ready for more!0 -
thnx thats what I was thinking since I must be a little rusty. If I have enough energy afterwork I'll try my very best to do the cardio party0

Are you guys all doing the ChaLean Extreme here too?? I was really thinking about getting it and I want to see real people and their results! Do you guys use dumbbells or the resistance bands? Any info you have on this program would be great so I can know if I should spend the money or not.
TIA! Jess0 -

I'm on my 2nd round of CE. I did the first round June, July, August and followed the workout calendar (not the eating plan, but kept it clean). I lost a total of 2" off my hips, 3" off my waist and lost a pound. I wasn't planning on losing a lot of weight, but was happy with the inches lost. This time around, I'm doing 1 week on (just the Burn, Push and Lean parts M-W-F), 1 week off with another strength training DVD. I am seeing more pounds shed this way (I'm doing much more cardio than I did during my 1st round of CE though), but only have lost 1/2 an inch in my waist since. I really think that if you've got some significant inches/weight to lose, you will with CE. I didn't have much of either, so knew it would take a lot of work to lose the few pounds/inches I wanted to.
I will say without a doubt, you will not regret the purchase! It's the best program I have (I own close to 100 DVD's), and I always am excited to do the workouts!
By the way, I use dumbells. 1st round I think 20's were the highest I went, this round I'm up to 25's.
Welcome to the board!0 -
Thanks so much Erika! I am pretty much sold on this program! I really just want to tone up again. I have about 20 lbs to lose, but I will take inches too! :0)0

So far so good Jammers!!! I hit the gym early this AM for my Monday spinning class-didn't get the greatest of burn, but I guess my body is probably becoming more efficient with exercise... :grumble: lol! Anyway, kept to my eats for the day..nothing out of the blue, no urges either! I am so happy:happy: Headed to work all day after the gym, so I'm pretty tired..:yawn: Just finished my dindin, and gonna head to bed in an hour or so...Tomorrow it's the gym for some treadie time! OH!-I forgot to mention my newest purchase! I found myself some brand spankin new heaven on my feet Asics:bigsmile: :laugh: They were quite expensive, BUT I've been having trouble with blisters with my old shoes so these should be GREAT!
Planning on a good run tomorrow either way! I am super happy with myself today, Hope I can keep up this determination for the rest of the week, then set new goals! Great job with the workouts ladies! I am proud to call ya my support system!:blushing:
Jess-I finished my first round of CE in November, and have continued to rotate the workouts about 3 x's a week. Still workin for me! I
CE! Finally my abs popped out! :laugh: Good luck, I am positive you'll love it too!
Have a great night girls!!!0 -
I think this is the commercial I love.
Not sure if it's Turbo Jammers, but when I'm up late at night and it comes on.
I work out to it, I always wanted to get the workout videos haha.0 -
Yesterday I did BC1- wk 2 .. the moves were more familiar and I felt I was better on my form... that what I want
Carleybby Have yet to see the Info commerical on CE.. still looking.
Roberta Congrats on the sparking new Asics!!
Jessica I am on my 2nd week of CE.. and I love it!! I w-in this am and am down 4 lbs since I started on the 28th of Dec I know its a combo of CE, eating clean and watching my cals. I'm using dumbells. 0 -

Morning Jammers!
Welcome again to all the newbies...so much fun to see new faces on here!!!! This morning was a hodge podge of DVD's...some Mel B. and some Turbo Jam. I felt the need to mix it up a bit with 2 workouts! I was very surprised to step on the scale this morning and I had finally dropped the 1/2 pound I was trying to get at for the last 4 weeks. I guess the 100 calorie/day bump is what my body needed to jump start the weight loss again. Only 3 pounds left to my goal! I'm happy with where I'm at, but really would like to hit the goal I set back in 2009.
Last night I lost it completely, eating wise. I was SOOOOOO hungry I couldn't stop myself! I finished off some rice krispy treats my son had left over from his school treat, and then I went after some mixed nuts and cheese (not so bad, but this was all BEFORE I ate my dinner)! Then I scarfed down 2 almond/chocolate bars! Ugh. :grumble: But, I got on the treadmill while I watched the Bachelor and burned it all off, and today is a fresh new day! Every once in awhile I get that way, and I just can not feed myself enough!
Here's to a better day today :happy:0 -
GRRR i KNOW WHAT U MEAN! last night I made the big mistake of putting some biscuits in the oven - u know those pillsbury golden layers? well I was only supposed to eat a few and I ended up eating 5 of them. Shame on me! The worst part is I didnt even work out, it was so cold when I got home that I just wrapped myself up in a blanket and sat on the couch all night.
TONIGHT I will not sit down and watch TV until I do my work out. Damn t his cold weather!0 -
Hello, Everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful holiday!!
I'm newer to using the message boards...I was just wondering if anyone is starting up the Chalean Extreme program? I have the Deluxe addition. I just started today and it felt great! Would anyone like to follow it, along with me for motivation? Maybe we could weigh in weekly and measure monthly or something? I need something to keep me motivated. I've also been watching my food intake as well.
I get up at 5am...that's the only time I have to workout! Besides the Chalean program I am also going to walk on the treadmill at least 30 minutes daily.
Anyone want to join? Send me an email.
Everyone have a good day!0 -

I think majority of us on here do both Turbo Jam and ChaLean Extreme, but I'm not sure where everyone is in the rotation. I"m on my 2nd round, alternating CE 1 week and other strength the next. I log in each day with my workouts, so if you're on here, come do the same!0 -
Hey jammers. I cant seem to fight this bug off me. These days Ive been so sick, if it aint one thing is another. I been having the worst allergies ever. I have a sore throat that has kept me from getting my sufficient sleep. I been also been having really bad back aches at night. At one point i thaught I had a UTI but i dont think UTI lasts for 2 days only. Im too sick to eat. I cant taste anything. uhhh i just want to get better so i can bk on track.0

Hey Jammers! Another good day for me! YAY! I'm getting BACK ON TRACK! WOOHOO! Today was the gym for a solid 6.9 on the treadie! I wanna add I run a pretty steep hill (4-5% incline at about 6-7mph too) so it's a great workout! Anyway, had a great burn and a pretty good day at work...very glad to be home and WARM! It's freezing out, and snowing like crazy!:explode: I HATE WINTER!!!
Erika-OH you KNOW I get this way! Hahaha..that was how I felt all last week! UGH! Good luck, and GREAT job burning it back off! Awesome motivation, I do the same out of guilt!:laugh:
Nolachick- I tend to workout in the AM just for that same reason! I was doing workouts (CE) at night after work but I knew with winter coming I'd get sucked away!
Bikini- I finished my first round of CE in November, and currently I rotate the workouts 3x's a week. I always log my workouts in as well, so feel free to peek! Good luck! Glad you like it!
Have a great night ladies, I'm going to reeellllaxxx and enjoy my day off tomorrow..plan to hit the gym, do my CE and abs, then chill with my boy all night:smooched: Check in tomorrow!0 -
Hi guys, I hope you all are having a great start to the New Year! :flowerforyou:
I've been meaning to check in here since last week but haven't found as much computer time lately. I did okay last week. I worked out New Years Eve morning, which I was proud of since I almost always convince myself to use holidays as a reason not to, but was very lax with my eating which spilled over into New Years Day as well. But I jumped pretty much right back on track after that.
I also did not gain any weight over the holidays this year. I didn't lose anything between Christmas and New Years either, but that's still better than the six pounds gain I had last year.
Yesterday I did TJ Cardio Party 2 and 10 minutes on my stationary bike. Today I got through TJ Cardio Party 3, 15 minutes on the stationary bike, and about 20 minutes of strength training. I had a very hard time with my workout today though. I just had no energy. But I made it through anyway, just not with as much intensity as I would have liked. I guess that's better than nothing at all. I also need to be very careful when I have days like this, because I tend to get sloppy with my moves instead of just doing the workout with less effort. Hopefully tomorrow I won't feel as sluggish.0 -
Ahhh yesterday I finally started up again! I did the 20 minute workout and wasn't satisfied so I also threw in the Cardio Party 1.
Boy could I feel it last night, my steps were a little off cuz I had started to forget some of the moves, but I still enjoyed it!0 -
Morning Ladies!!!
I had a good TurboSculpt workout followed by 1/2 hour on the elliptical. I'm satisfied with my workouts, and feel good about the day!
Great work to all of you on your workouts...so much fun to check in each day and see that you all are getting those workouts in!!! YEAH!!0 -
Hey Girls
Welcome BHIC - Jo!!
I made my 20 mins warm up on the TM and Burn C2- 2nd week this morn, but I was not focused.. I think tired and to many things on my mind to clear.
Feel better faster ...limestar :flowerforyou:
:laugh: Livi. I like your new avatar
BBT.. sweet dreams0 -
Hey Jammers! Yet another successful day for me!:bigsmile:
Had the day off, but hit the gym early for some elliptical time. Ended up doing bout 65 minutes! Had a GREAT burn with that! Headed home and did abs before lunch, then did CE Burn 3 afterward. I took my clean eats over to my boys house and prepared a turkey/avocado/tomato wrap, while he had some stuffed pasta shells...why is it that boys can eat WHATEVER THEY WANT and NOT HAVE TO WORRY BOUT GAINING WEIGHT?!! I don't care though, I really could have eaten that instead BUT I stuck with my clean food! Anyways, I just got home and gonna head to bed because I've got a date with the treadmill early before work! I also my new Asics! Amazing.
Have a great night ladies! Glad to hear all your successes as well!!0 -
Good Morning Jammers!
Its been a while...I've been on vacation on and off for a few weeks. Went to Minnesota for Christmas, and then went to Arizona this past week for the Fiesta Bowl! I am SO GLAD to be home and back into my regular routine! Today is the day I start back over on my regular schedule and I am SO excited to exercise and eat good foods. Tonight I am going to try to really kick myself back into gear, even though it might be a little difficult. Usually if I really give myself a good "boot-camp" workout...it will usually kick-start me back into my regular routine for good. I know ChaLean Extreme is definitely on my TO DO list tonight!! Along with some cardio!!! Have a great day!!! Its SOOOO GOOD TO BE BACK!0 -
Hey Ladies!! What a crazy morning here in MN. A few inches of snow, and the traffic is so backed up I had to turn around and come back home. Thankfully I can work from home, so I'll just do that.
Got a great elliptical workout in this morning, and went grocery shopping last night and got LOTS of yummy foods. I've never liked grocery shopping, but now I do. My newest goal for 2010 is to stick to fresh fruits, vegetables, lean meats, etc. I am getting rid of anything that has more than a handful of ingredients in it, as I know that can't be good...even if it's organic, it still has lots of "stuff" in it that fresh, whole foods don't. So, I'm almost cleaned out of that stuff and on to the new!!!
Hope you all have an awesome Thursday...I'll probably be back later after my evening workout, since my hubby is gone and not sure what else I'd do tonight!0 -
Good afternoon Jammers!
Today I hit the gym early for some treadie time-a good 6.8, incline 4, speed 6.5-7.0:bigsmile: Then I headed to work which is a "do-nothing day" while the Drs are out of the office. My coworker and I who usually do TJ did FatBlaster and AbJam:laugh: It was great! The rest of the lazy day we've been chatting, painting our nails and in between doing some actual work--cleaning
Just a quick check in now, I hope everyone's day is going well! I can't ever wait to get on here and check the forum to see all our successes ladies, keep up the awesome work! So far another successful day for me, and I intend to KEEP IT THAT WAY:drinker: Check back later I'm sure! 0 -
Good Morning...Happy Friday!!!
This morning was Power 90 Sculpt/Sweat. I'm going through my DVD's 1 by 1 and re-logging calories burned, MHR and AHR, so I can maybe weed out some DVD's. I need to get rid of ones that aren't challenging me enough. Thinking of getting Insanity, so need to clean up my DVD collection in order to fit that one in!
Roberta--Awesome job on the run...wow!!! I was really into running this spring/summer and now am not so much, so it's always inspiring to read about how you're pushing yourself to get faster and go farther!
Dawna--glad to have you back! It always feels good to get back on track with a butt kicking workout! Hope it went well!0 -
good morning ladies! last night I did Turbo Sculpt w/ 5lbs dumbells and boy did I feel it. I definately reached fatigue when I saw my legs were shaking and could barely hold me up. But I loved it! my heart was racing and like she said thats cuz u are working the biggest muscle group of ur body. Can't wait to see more results in my legs and thighs.0

Happy Friday Jammers!
Today was a pretty busy day for me it seems! This AM I hit the gym early for my spinning class, then came home because I had some extra time in between-so ate a nice relaxing breakfast It was off to work for half the day, home for a quick lunch and off again to get an oil change..lol! Finally home again and did Extreme Abs, snacked and relaxed a lil before CE Push 2! Overall, today is a good day..have stuck to my foods, but I didn't burn as much as I expected to...:ohwell: I think my body is becoming more efficient? Though I decided today I needed a calorie increase due to TOM...I have been starving!:explode: But still under my goal..and all healthy
Tomorrow is my "working rest day"..I always end up doing more though:laugh: I'm gonna hit the gym for some treadie time early then attend my Body Flex Class. I missed it last week!
Dawna-Glad you made it back safe and sound! I know it's hardest to get back on track after a break isn't it?! :grumble: It's great to hear from you again though girl!!!
Erika-I wish I had the collection of DVD's you do! I'd never get bored:laugh: I've been thinking about trying Insanity out too...I'm a little hesitant..I might just get through the winter with my gym membership and add that new in the spring or summer...Is it more cardio?
nolachick-Good job with the TurboSculpt! I that one!
Have a great night ladies! I can't wait to check in with ya later!0 -

From what I've heard and seen, it's a lot of cardio, but some strength using your own body weight. I had ordered it on ebay, but the seller fell thru, so I'll have to search some more. I am scared to try it, as I've heard once you can get through that, everything else seems easy, and I get discouraged easily with stuff that's too easy. We'll see...I'll keep you posted!0 -
Hi there
am new to turbo jam - just got the DVD this week and i LOVE it - I've done the ab jam, the 20 minute and today i did turbo sculpt - and I KNOW that i am going to be feeling this tomorrow - I love the music
My question is - how do you count these as exercise - is the 20 minute cardio just aerobics? is the turbo sculpt circuit training (because you are not really resting??) HELP PLEASE
I had been doing Jillian Michaels 30 day shred, banish fat boost metabolism and no more trouble zones for the past3 months but it was getting boring and dare i say easier so i wanted to switch it up...0 -

Welcome!
I have a heart rate monitor, so haven't looked into the categories offered to pick from on MFP, but I'd say aerobics or even high impact aerobics for the cardio/ab jam and if there's a weight or strength training, I'd use that for the Turbo Sculpt.
TJ is so fun! Glad you joined us!0
