    Hey there fellow jammers!!

    I have gotten in the fat blaster (as usual!) and also managed to take the kids for a long walk to get the mail! I am starting to feel much better now that I am back jamming everyday! I am turning up the heat a little as I am 3 weeks away from my birthday! My present for my birthday and for working so hard losing weight is a trip to Old Navy!! Ya .. we live way out in the boonies .. so Old Navy excites me! Might even take a little peak into The Gap or American Eagle .. haven't been able to shop in those stores since before I had my three wonderful children! So we'll see how much fun I am having! Hehe!

    Well hope everyone has a great day and i'll check in later!!

    Take care and happy jamming!:bigsmile: :drinker: :tongue: :laugh:

    3 weeks...my bday is in about 4 :smile: I hear ya too I keep thinking if I'm gonna lose this last 8 lbs by my birthday I need to kick it in the butt...and what do I do....take last week OFF. :laugh: I love Old Navy but their sizes are so off compared to every where else, so I really have to have the time to look thru everything and try it on. I hope you get to go shopping without the children.

    I didn't know there were so many tj dvd's. How do you like that booty sculpt? Harder than lower body jam?

    I like booty sculpt as well. It's fun and dancy but still gives you a great all body workout. Lower body is rough...I think booty sculpt is easier cuz it's not focused on just the legs.

    Morning ladies,
    I hope everyone is ready to kick up the exercise a notch. Weekends seem to be a particular hinderance, for most of us anyway. I think I'm ready to start doing TJ 5 days a week. I'm really gonna give it a go. So wish me luck!:happy:

    Good luck to you. You will love the way you feel after a full weeks worth of workouts. Good for you for kicking it up...summer is coming and we will all be ready thanks to TJ

    Thanks to everyone who commented on the new pic. My mom took that pic Sunday before we left her house.
    Janet-you jammed the whole weekend, good for you!
    Megan-you are now running??? You are crazy! Good for you though. Hey question for you....when you were mixin your workouts, what did you do while you were waiting for the dvd to load and get to the next section you wanted?? just walk in place?
    Sara-are you liking your gym membership? How are the kids dealing with it?
    Kelly-Hi :flowerforyou: Are you feeling better?

    Okay, sorry about all the posts but that was the easiest way for me to catch up...and still deal with kids and dinner and keep my head on straight. :happy: I know you all understand!

    Good morning everyone! I not due in work til later so as I was snoozing I just decided to get up and do PK&J !! :noway:

    As you all know I turned into a lazy mess for the past two weeks so this dvd totally wiped me! I lasted 30mins before I had to collapse and I was even pushing it at that stage! The sweat is still pumping off me but I fully intend to work myself back up to my old fitness level and surpass it!!

    I just didnt seem to have the energy to go on! I don't know if it was due to such an early workout on an empty stomach or that I am not used to these dvd's anymore but at least I got something in and I will do another one later on...

    I have to say I love the combination she does near the start with the punches, that really got my heart pumping!

    Were you able to drink any water beforehand? I used to always exercise/Jam in the morning before eating, but I'd be sure to drink some water first. I tend to do better and have more energy in the morning.

    Hi Lyn, yeah, when I changed the dvd's I kinda jumped rope and did some punches to keep my heart rate up. Let me know what combos you come up with if you make your own! :smile:

    Good Morning Friends:heart: ,
    Glad to see all are here and well and we're continuing on with the quest. Checking in this morning w/ 20min TJ and 20 min Cardio/Strength interval (denise austin) I really don't like her dvds much anymore now that I'm in w/ TJ but I needs a heart pumping weight combo to add (this IS supposed to be Strength day, LOL) and I was short on time this morning. I will do sculpt when I get home... I plan:laugh: ) I have a commitment now... I wrote it down!!
    Drevans - Love the new pix w/ the kiddos - you all look beautiful!! Keep working hard - that nasty 8 lbs will be gone in no time.
    Megan - Hey girl!! You are really peaking my curiosity about this Booty Sculpt!!.. Going to have to get that one!!
    Nicole- Nice to have a name to go w/ your pretty face!! Great job on the inches lost !! Keep it up!

    Love to all I missed ~ i'll check in later, class beckons:laugh:

    i Turbo Jam'd for a year a half before I had to have surgery on my knee back in Mar '08 ... then my doc took me off any workouts 'til Dec '08 ... then I became a Team BeachBody Coach... and started doing P90X... along with my wife, Kathryn ... We're a couple days away from being done with the first 90 days...

    Wow... what a difference ... but I will always luv the Turbo Jam workouts that got me shape in the first place... Soon we'll try Chalean Extreme...

    Thank you for reading... btw... i just joined yesterday...

    Hi Everyone!
    Just finished PK&J and moving onto booty sculpt!
    Janet-I know what you mean about the Denise Austin tapes, I feel that way about all of my other DVDs...it just seems like nothing compares to Chalene!
    Jason...welcome to the site! We're all addicted to TJ on this thread, and I'll be getting Chalean Extreme very soon...I'm so excited to start it!
    Have a great day everyone!
    :heart:

    I was wondering, how do you track your turbo jam workouts on here? Do put it under aerobic?? Kickboxing?? or something different?
  • Lyn_Matthews
    Lyn_Matthews Posts: 902 Member
    Ladies we have a man amongst us!!! Welcome Jason! Do you still Jam even though you are doing other workouts?

    Tiff-I was using the kickboxing category and it came pretty close. Some girls use the high intensity aerobics. I think it all depends on your intensity level.

    Janet Good morning. I agree with you on other workouts...they just don't compare after doing TJ. While I was at my mom's she said that I could do her Sweatin to the Oldies workouts :laugh: it would have been entertaining more than anything, but I couldn't see myself getting any benefit cuz I would have been laughing so hard the whole time. That reminds me....I need to throw out a bunch of old workouts cuz I will NEVER do them again!!

    Megan-I am tempted to piece some together but I would have to sit and watch them and take notes first and right now I don't have time for that. I am tempted right now to do 2 CPs back to back...just for fun (did I just say for fun?:noway: )


    Not much going on here today, hubby was suppose to have the rest of the week off and they called him this morning and asked him to come in....no complaints from me, work pays much better than unemployment. While I was gone last week, hubby cleaned house and did laundry so there is none of that to do. I joined the crazy world of Facebook yesterday so I may spend some time there today. Most importantly I must get my jam on. I didn't do any strength toning work yesterday so I must do it today....maybe some booty sculpt cuz I haven't done that in a long time. Cardio??? umm it's a toss up, CP 1 or 2 since I did 3 yesterday....but CP1 is really....boring to me (Megan if I remix any it will be that one :smile: )

    Oh I had a question.....does anyone (with HRMs) get a really good calorie burn from FB? I only burn about 250-280 cals. With the CP workouts I burn over 500, so even though it's a shorter workout, I don't see the calorie benefit.

    I've rambled enough, Have a wonderful day. I'll be back after my workout.

    Lyn, I find that too with FB, so much so that I feel like i havent worked out enough!!

    I am soooo sore now! I know I only started back exercising yesterday but I've done loads and my mucles are aching so I will rest tonight and then back to the gym in work tomorrow and then when I come home I plan on doing CP.

    Cant wait for CP2&3 to arrive!!

    Lyn...wow 2 CPs!!! That's gonna be killer! I thought about doing that once, but I never got past the "thinking" stage :laugh: Hey, I'm on Facebook too (Megan McLaughlin...my pic is the same one here so you'll know it's me) send me a friend request!! Anyone else out there on Facebook?

    Deedun, good job on the workouts...now that I've been running a little too I'm pretty sore. I kinda like mixing the running with the CPs, it seems like I'm working different muscle groups. The fronts of my thighs are so stiff right now...I love it! :happy:

    Oh, I wanted to add that I burn about the same as you guys with FB...that's why I've been adding it in the middle of a regular CP (w/o the warmup and cooldown). Also I do it before one of the toning DVDs to get my heart rate up first.
  • Lyn_Matthews
    Lyn_Matthews Posts: 902 Member
    Megan I added you as a friend on Facebook :smile: Sara is on there too but I haven't found her yet. Also I didn't do the 2 CPs today...not up for it today...maybe on a day my hubby is home and can watch the kids for that long.

    Deedun...remember pain is good it means you are changing the shape of your body.

    I just finished CP2 and I'm going to do Booty Sculpt in a moment. My dvd player has to have time to cool otherwise it starts skipping (mental note-shop for dvd players).

    Jason and Sara- What do you think of Hip Hop Abs vs. TJ? My sister has HHA and wants to trade me for a while....is the workout as good? Is it worth the trade? I could definately use some help with my abs.

    I just finished Booty Sculpt which I haven't done in forever and my body is shaking...my triceps burn, my lower back/butt area is achy, and my legs are jello! I forgot how hard that workout is...time to hit the shower!

    I did the "cardio" of Hip Hop Abs & it was a joke compared to TJ's cardio. You FEEL it in your abs, though! I didn't burn as many cals, but I know my abs got a good workout. You basically "pump it" all the time while doing other moves if that makes sense.

    Sorry. I've been lurking. I need to really do a good post & catch up on everything. :blushing:

    Hey Megan I just added you!

    Lyn, you're right about the body changing shape, I love the the feeling of sore muscles for some mad reason!

    Well I'm off to bed now, and have my gym bag packed for tomorrow!!

    My first ever TJ was CP1. Since I got CP3, I never do 1 anymore. It is pretty boring. I have only done 2 once. So far, I like 3 the best, but I'll give 2 a few more times.

    Welcome, Jason!

    How long is the Punch and Kick video? How many cals do you burn? It was most suggested by you ladies that I get that one next. I generally burn around 500 cals also with CP.

    PK&J is 50mins long and I find that I burn around 540-580 cals which is great!

    What other dvd's have you got?

    I only have the 3 cardio parties as far as TJ goes. Did you want to know what non-TJ I have?

    We're having rain and 40-50 degree weather here in northern IN. DH is on spring break (we're both teachers, but I'm on maternity leave now) next week, and it's not supposed to be much nicer. At least that's what it says right now. It sucks because we were going to go outdoor places with the kids.

    My plan is to get a cardio party in today after my 30DS. I am not sure if I'll do 2 or 3 yet though.

    Hey everyone, i'm logging on in work and just about to head over to the gym on my lunch break, hopefully i'll do a good workout.. I'm so tired today as i was tossing and turning all day!

    I plan on doing either CP1 or TJ20 wTS when i get home later. I Havent done a toning workout in a while but my weigh in is 2moro and i want the scales to go down! I dunno which will be better for the added weightloss, any ideas?

    The weather here is lovely, yesterday it was around 16' C and it should be like that again today! Its great to see the sun as it brightens everyone's mood!

    Good morning Jammers!

    I was wondering where do you guys get your heart rate monitors? Are they very expensive? I would like to know how much I burn when doing Fat Blaster! Cause I am pouring sweat by the time i'm done! Just curious maybe I should be doing other videos instead! But I still love it!

    Today the plan is to do Ab Jam and 20 Minute!

    Talk to ya later!!
    By the way my name is Becky!!

    Hi everyone!
    Checking in with CP3 and Booty Sculpt.
    Beeks...I got my HRM from Buy.com. It's a reebok w/ chest strap and I LOVE it! It was only around $30...the polars are about $80 and up. Before this one I got a Sportsline from GNC with no chest strap and I didn't really like it...you can't put in your height and weight so I don't think it's as accurate.

    Have a great day everyone!

    Becky, I have a Polar F4 that my hubby and sis in law bought me for xmas. I think they paid around 85 for it at a local sports store. I know you can find some good deals online. You may even check your local 2nd hand sports store ( I don't know if they carry those sorts of things but it's worth a try ).
    You may be pouring sweat after FB cuz you are working too hard. Before I got my HRM I pushed myself pretty hard. I had to use my asthma inhaler to make it thru a workout and I was dripping sweat when I was done. Turns out I was working WAY too hard. Now I don't need my inhaler and I still sweat but I know that I'm working my heart and body in a GOOD way.
