Hi!

What do you guys prefer? Turbo Jam or TurboFire? I have only tried the 30DS.

Also, I did 7 days of level 1 of 30DS and have done 10 days of level 2. I understand its suppose to be 30 days, so do I do 3 additional days of level 2 to make up for level 1, or do I move on and do 10 days of the 30DS and call it that, or what haha.

Also, any opinion on the amount of weights I should use for the 30DS? Im currently using 5lb weights but I cant seem to get through all the repetitions.

What do you guys recommend on after the 30DS?

Thanks!

    I prefer Turbo Fire, but that's because I wore Turbo Jam out. lol As for the weights, its a good thing that you are not able to do all the repetitions, because it seems you might be working your muscles to failure. That's a good thing. Just keep trying to work with the 5's until you're strong enough to do all the reps. Then later you might want more of a challenge and may move up to 8's.

    I like Jillian's Burn Fat Boost Metabolism. It is a bit longer than the 30DS though. Just do something that you like and that challenges you.

    Honestly if you want to burn the most calories in the most time and NOT get bored..... Insanity workouts are the best. I presses pause a lot and still do but WOW I feel amazing after Im done. Look into it. If you cant do all the moves its not a big deal. i just keep trying at my own pace. Best wishes! :)

    Turbo jam is a bit easier and I have found it fun but not challenging enough so I'm going to start turbo fire after 30 DS. The turbo fire program has lots of different workouts and a 20 week program to maximize their usage.

    I like to use 3 lb weights...sometimes I feel like they are a litte light, but more times than not I feel like it is just enough for me for where I'm at right now.
    I would just progress with the video as you are ready to do so. I just had this ame question...and all of my friends who responded said to take between 10-14 days on each level. Seemed like a good idea to me! :) Good Luck!
