Welcome Jam Junkies!

I did CP today with my new HRM...I think it's broken, it beeped the whole time...oh wait that's cuz I was OVER my zone the WHOLE time. I don't know what I'm gonna do. I had to take it the intensity WAY down in order to get my HR down. I didn't even feel like I did anything :grumble: Guess I need to do some research...

    That's not any fun. I don't know the first thing about HRM, but all I've ever heard people say is, "make sure you have the right settings in." :ohwell: Good luck!

    Off to do FB & hopefully TS. BUCKLE DOWN!

    Did CP and Ab Jam today...again with hubby. I think he now understands why I didn't want him watching me at first...cuz I felt so uncoordinated. Now I don't mind so much I guess. It felt good to get it done, I ate really crappy yesterday but I burned 700 calories today so WAHOO!!!

    Hey, Lyn! Good to see you back! I got my husband doing it last night. He gets so dang frustrated with himself when he can't figure out the moves, but he doesn't realize it takes PRACTICE! Ding dong. Hopefully he'll stick with it! I'm glad your husband is TJing with you, too!

    I got in FB & Learn & Burn in yesterday. Oh! And the first half of FB another time before DD woke up from her nap screaming bloody murder. My goal today is PK&J & TS...and probably Burn when hubby gets home again. WOO!

    If I was to buy a couple of the TJ dvd's which one would be the best??

    Well, I got in all of FB & 30 min. of TS. 60 min. total so I'm happy with that for now. Doug'll be home soon & then I'll be doing Burn, pausing Burn, showing Doug's the move to Burn in slow motion, teaching Doug how to do the moves, starting back up Burn...you get the idea. LOL

    deedun - I would recommend starting with the entire max results package. It comes with the weighted handgloves, Learn & Burn, 20 min., Cardio Party, Turbo Sculpt, and Ab Sculpt. Mine also came with Punch Kick & Jam (which I LOVE), but I think other packages come with other additional ones. If anything, it is a good place to start & then you can add on from there! HTH! :flowerforyou:

    Okay. So I just taught my husband how to do the 20 min. workout...it took nearly an hour. LOL I'm sweating my butt of, though b/c I had to do each move about 18,000 times. WOO! Hope it burned off the biscuits from Bob Evans. LOL

    Just got my DVD's for ChaLean Extreme and am starting on Monday January 5, 2008. Anyone else interested in joining me?

    I know that Jessmomof3 is doing ChaLean Extreme & psyknife is also doing it right now. Give me a sec & I'll find the link where we've discussed it. I'm not quite ready for it yet. Maybe in about 6 months I think I'll buy it, but not quite yet. I'm still mastering Turbo Sculpt. Thank you for the offer, though!

    Thanks for that 3babybeans

    Are they moves hard to master do you think?

    Deedun - I don't think the moves are hard to master, but they do take practice. Balance is a huge part, but you'll find that the more you do the workouts, the easier it will become. I'm teaching my husband how to TJ right now. He's only had 2 days of it, but I'm already seeing an improvement in his form & balance. Just remember that if you are having a hard time with a certain part, don't feel bad about hitting pause, practicing it on your own for a few minutes at your own pace. I remember being frustrated with it at the beginning b/c I couldn't keep up but once I remembered that I was NEW to the routine & the people on the dvd basically do it for a living, I didn't feel so bad any more.

    You can do it! If you have any questions about anything, just pop on into our thread & I'm sure there'll be someone that'll help you out. Or, just make a general new post out on the boards. There are some beachbody coaches out there that might be able to help you more! Good luck to you!

    Thanks again 3babybeans..

    I'm dying to get my hands on the dvd's!! I currently have an ebay bid on a complete set inclduing the gloves and bands.. its a good price but fingers crossed i get it! In the past the sellers have really let me down and since I live in Ireland there is no other way of getting them :ohwell:

    deedun-I have the basic package, Learn & Burn, 20 minute, turbo sculpt, ab jam, Cardio Party (all 5 of these came in one case, 2 discs), Cardio Party 2 and Lower body (I bought mine about 3 yrs ago). I'm looking to buy Punch Kick & Jam, and maybe 3T, Fat Blaster and maybe a Live workout too. I think if you can get your hands on the Learn & Burn and the 20 minute that is a good start. Like I said in my email, contact Jessmomof3 or psyknife and see if they can ship to you.

    Off to do my workout.

    I did CP2 today and burned 500 calories. I love my HRM. I'm learning to lower the impact so I stay within my target hr zone. At first I felt like I was doing nothing, but if I really concentrate on form then I feel like I'm getting a good workout.

    I'm trying to find a HRM on eBay right now since I've been talking to you & Lori about yours. I want a new toy! LOL

    I just got done doing the 20min. workout, FB & ALL of TS! Holy junk, I feel like Jello!
