I'm getting ready to begin TurboJam any day now (as soon as the package arrives!!). Anyone else out there doing it? How do you like the weighted gloves? (I've never tried using those before.)

I'm combining it with Couch25K so I can do my first 5K on Thanksgiving! (Just completed W1D3 today!)

    I have the Turbo Jam workouts and they're so much fun! I actually don't do them regularly now, since I joined a gym. I just feel more motivated and challenged working out in a gym. But the workouts are so much fun, you'll love it.

    As for the weighted gloves, I found them a bit uncomfortable. You'll definitely want to work into them. I couldn't use them yet the first few times I did the workouts and then they just seemed itchy after I'd start to sweat. But you may have a different experience.

    Good luck!

    I'm starting Turbofire next week Thursday. I have a feeling that I'm going to get my butt kicked BIG time but still looking forward to it. :) Have fun with TurboJam!

    Turbo Jam is awesome! You cant help but to dance while doing the kickboxing, which burns even more calories! :)

    I also just recently started Turbo Jam, after completing P90X. P90X got me really in shape, but now I want to drop the weight that's covering up all those muscles! So far it is a lot of fun. A little bit of practice to get the steps going the right way, but smiled the entire time and was sweating like crazy at the end! I haven't tried the weighted gloves yet. I wanted to get the fancy footwork down first :)
    Have fun!

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE Turbo Jam. I did it for two years and then switched to Turbo Fire...HUGE results with both programs. I would only use the weighted gloved if you want your arms to look AWESOME! :wink: have a GREAT time with Turbo!!!

    A very sweet friend who has Turbo Jam is sending it to me to let me try it out! I can't wait to get it. I've heard so much about this workout. If you start a Turbo Jam group or anything, let me know! I would love to join. Well, depending on how I like it of course once I try it!

    Good luck to you :)

    The gloves take getting used to, but you do feel the difference even though they are only 1 lb apiece (I believe).

    A few weeks ago, I slept on my left arm the wrong way and pinched a nerve. May shoulder ached and my fingers felt very tingly, so I've been doing round 2 of TJ without the gloves. My arm is better now and I'll be adding the gloves back next week. I didn't realize what a difference they made until I had to work without them.

    My favourite part of Turbo Jam is the fat burning work out with 4 intervals. They're so much fun and really get your heart rate going!
