Hey there! I just bought TurboJam, and I was hoping I could get some others in on it! I'm going to be doing Couch 2 5K along with it, just to bump it up a notch, but don't feel obligated to do both. One or the other will be just fine...if you want to do both programs along with me, that would be great! Again though, it's not an obligation. I think it would be awesome just to have some sort of support along this journey and see what we can all accomplish. So, if you're game to start some TurboJam action, start in on running, or do both, then join be on the 9th of May! Hope to see plenty of people ready to get in shape and ramp it up!

    It's a running program that starts you off at a run/walk mix for about 20 minutes, then gradually progresses to have you running 3.1 miles (5K) in 9 weeks. It's designed to help people who have done minimal running before that get into running at a pace that is doable. Google it! It's a good program, should find it on coolrunning.com. I'm very excited to start it, I just can't right now because of the demands of school.

    Well, if you really don't know about TurboJam, it's a Beachbody program that mixes kickboxing, dancing, and strength training. I haven't tried it yet, but I've heard great things. It's kind of a predecessor to Turbo Fire, which uses the HIIT technique to burn off fat. I'm planning on trying that one next.

    Okay, so yeah, it kind of is! I just did the "Learn and Burn" workout to try it out before I start up......holy cow, it kicked my butt! I'm pretty happy about that though

    I got it from Beachbody.com...It's a pretty good price and it gives you a bunch of extras besides the workouts. You should go for it!

    I've been meaning to start C25K, and I could probably do it on the 9th :) I have school but it's the last week before finals so it should be doable :)

    I am in!!! I have turbojam in the DVD collection and have not done it in a while. I am excited to get back in shape for the summer and lose weight! I have PCOS and I find that I have exercise twice as much to get any weight loss. I will update on Monday!
