    I've heard lots of good things about it. I tried it, and it wasn't for me. It's too dance-y for my tastes, and I am so not coordinated! Slim in 6 and Slim Series were much more to my liking. Any exercise program done consistently is better than doing none. The most important thing when it comes to fat loss, if that's what you're looking for, is eating to fuel your body for whatever you're doing. Good luck, and I hope that helps somewhat!

  • Hey!

    I have it and I love it. I work for Beachbody and of all our products Turbo Jam is one of my favorites. It's fun, energetic and Chalean is awesome! I don't think its very dancy, like say Hip Hop Abs or something of that nature.

    If you are looking for more of a challenge try the newest Turbo workout Turbo Fire!

    Anything can work if you follow the plan.. I did the Biggest Loser Cardio Max faithfully and was very pleased with the results! I've been wanting to get Turbo Jam because the burned cals are insane!!
  • I'm doing Turbo Fire (her kicked up a notch program) and I absolutely love it. I'm 5 weeks in and it is definitely working, but not gonna lie...it's tough, especially the first couple of weeks. It is very dance-y kickboxing with great music. Here is a link to a video preview of Turbo Fire so you can see what it is all about.

    TurboJam is the reason I've lost 50 pounds. I've been using it for 2 years & it is the FIRST workout that I've been able to stick with. It opened so many doors for me physically, I can't even tell you. Also, it really isn't all that dancy, imho. It is more like kickboxing. :flowerforyou: It is so important to find a workout that you enjoy! I have a list a mile long of workouts I don't enjoy. If you don't enjoy it, you won't do it. Good luck to you!
  • Try to find a Turbo Jam (Turbo Kick) class in your area. I find that if you actually go to a class rather than do the DVD in your house you will stick to it more and go harder. I do Zumba religiously and Turbo Kick and I love them both!

    Hello
    I really want to buy Turbo Jam as I read really good things about it. I was wondering if you need a lot of space for it though? I only have a smallish room. Could someone tell me if you have to move about a lot or is more in one spot?

    Thank you!

    All the best

    You don't need much room to do TJ. It is FUN and I love Chalene Johnson! She also has a new workout system called TurboFire! Let me know if you have any questions!

    Thanks for the replies! I ordered it last night and can't wait for it to arrive!! I will see if I have enough space in my room.
    I live in a flatshar and we have a spare room where we all dumb our stuff that we don't need in the room. I have my flatmates permission to turn it into an exercise room! Will start that project next weekend! :smile:

    i came across Turbo Fire. Not sure what it is but I had the impression that it is a more advanced version. Is that right?

    Also unfortunately it is quite difficult to get hold of Beachbody products here in the UK. All the extra DvD's that you have for Turbo Jam are not available here....it really is a shame :sad:

    Thanks again for your help!

    Take care
