Turbo Jammers 3/2-3/8

Hi everyone. Hope you don't mind if I crash this party. I just joined MFP yesterday and I've been scanning the boards looking for a place to land. Since I love Turbo Jam this seemed to be the place.

Having been away from TJ for a few months I did CardioParty 1 this morning. Such a good reminder to me of why it is that I've loved TJ for the past few years.

hugs to everyone today

Welcome to the group...glad to have you join us!!!! Great job w/ today's workout:drinker:

Megan...thanks!:flowerforyou:

Megan...that's b/c...



:laugh:

Hi, Michele! Glad you decided to join us!

I'm being a bad TJ'er right now. I got AJ done & am having a "water break"...here I sit. D'oh! Need to get moving while the kiddos are asleep!

deedun...wtg on the calorie burn and enjoy that gym membership!!!

Just finished P,K, & J...more later on tonight.

First off...

POOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooP! Jenelle teaches at the other one. I was given mis-information or someone was misled or whatever. I still might go try to take her class one of these days, but I had a rocking chick named Angie tonight...and here is that story. Not as star-filled & I don't have a new BFF named Jenelle, but whatever. :laugh:

The class kicked my butt! 745 cals in an hour including 5 min. of abs at the end (b/c the rest of the dang class didn't want to do the dance party. Buttheads. Don't they know I already DID my abs for the day. The audacity. ). There were only a couple moves that I'd never seen before & I'm pretty sure they were pulled right out of the sky but they were good, too. I kept up really well, if i do say so myself. The one thing that was odd was that in between sets, she had everyone get their water (which I forgot :mad: ) and most of the people literally just stood there. Not many people kept moving. There I am with my weighted gloves, jumping around like an idiot, sweating PUDDLES and people are standing there. I don't think they understood the class very well. :ohwell:

Sooo...and hour later, we finish class and my friend & I go up to talk to her about her schedule b/c (according to Carrie) she's MUCH better than the other instructor. SHE teaches at the other one, too, she's just filling in for the night. BOO! BUT, Carrie walks away & she starts talking to me b/c she "noticed me" (and my dorky gloves). She asked me how long I'd been doing Turbo Kick. Umm...about an hour. So then we start talking about TJ. THEN wanted to know if I ever thought about being an instructor. OH EM GEE! There's a training coming up in my area at the end of March & she could get me $50 off the class fee. Yippy! I told her about my lack of being able to talk while I workout & she said that all that is is practice. She said you learn how to dial it back while you are teaching just enough to be able to shout out instruction. I think I could do that...eventually.

What do you girls think?! I'm torn. I really am. I don't think I'll be getting a gym membership simply b/c I'd have to drive about 20-25 min. to take the class when I could simply put a dvd in my dvd player & do it at home. I'd love to use the machines, but I have some serious Mommy Guilt & dragging my kids to a gym to leave them in a daycare while I use the elliptical makes me feel dirty. BUT, if I were teaching a class...then I could feel a little better about it b/c I'd actually be making some money! HELP! She gave me her card & said I should e-mail her so we can talk about it further. Eek!

Sarah,
I am so excited for you!! All things happen for a reason ~ you went to that class at that time and the instructor noticed you giving it your all. It's a wonderful opportunity ~ try not to miss out on any that come your way~ you only end up wondering "gee, I wonder if.... (fill in the blank)" Besides, the gym probably has greaty day care, the kiddos will be in a healthy environment and it won't be like hours and hours, will it?? You are a role model, not only do you get to be a teriffic nurturer but you are modeling a healthy lifestyle, which is tremendously important. Talk to DH and see what he thinks ~ I'm sure you'll make the right decision for you. If it were me .... I'm with Gottaluvboys.. GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So very proud of you:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

I finished off the nite w/ FB and It was really good - Can't believe I am exercising like twice as much as I used to since joining this site and really enjoying it!!

Wonder how Drevansmom's interview went??

Welcome MIchele ~ glad you're here to join us:flowerforyou:

Have a fantastic nite ladies,
J

well, no workout today.... I was looking forward to working out after work today, like I normally do on wed. But, then I remembered I had to pick up diapers after work so, I stoped at target, well....with no hubby or kids, I enjoyed myself a little too much! :happy: I got to browse at all the neat new spring stuff without anyone wanting or needing something........so I kind of took advantage of the alone time.:blushing:

But, getting up early and getting my workout in. Hopefully CP and AJ.

drevansmom~GOOD LUCK!! I hope your interview went well!

Michele~ Welcome! :flowerforyou: I am fairly new to this thred also. These girls are very motivational!!! Just reading there post makes me wanna get up and get moving. (((*thanks girls for the motivation*)))

Oh, I am SO guilty of the Target-Wandering when no one is with me! You'll get that workout in today, I'm sure of it!

Oh, Sara...that rocks!!! I say GO FOR IT!!!!!!! I am so proud of you:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
