Turbo Jammers 4/6-4/12

just checking in with the 20 minute work out. Squeezed it in while the kids were napping. Planning on working out more later just had a bunch of energy and wanting to burn it off. haha.

Hi everyone..

I'm checking in with CP3, I really like it but the music is a litle lacking unfortunetly.. I couldnt finish the whole dvd as I was wiped and I couldnt concentrate on the moves and follow them.. But I stayed til 5 mins after the Turbo so I did over 30mins of a workout... I'm still in awe of everyone who can do more than 1 dvd!

Also I think there maybe something wrong with my HRM, I know I was wiped but by HRM was beeping away at 137.. Maybe I'm just having an off day :noway:

Anyways, only 1 day left til I fly into Boston CANNOT wait !! Sephora here I come!

Edit to Add - CONGRATULATIONS JANET!! :flowerforyou: 14lbs is such a brilliant loss ! You have to celebrate!

That's funny that you mentioned the music lacking cuz I didn't notice that until just the other day...and I've been doing cp3 for months now. As far as music I think CP actually has the best/motivating music.. Proud of you for getting thru most of the workout.
Check your settings on your HRM. Make sure your weight, height, age and everything are correct. Also make sure that if you have a chest strap it is on tight and that you moisten the "sensor" areas. If you are doing all of that and it's still beeping at you...then you are out of your zone. If it's a slow beep you need to step up the intensity, if it's a fast beep you need to lower your intensity.
Have fun on your vacation!!

thanks!! I am trying to pack everything now as I have loads to do tomorrow and have to get the dogs sorted and drive them to their new home for the next couple of days! (You'd swear they were kids by the way I talk!)

I really enjoyed the moves in CP3, especially the opening, and I like that there was less "skip rope/ jumping on the spot" parts!

I must read up the HRM manual as I changed a few settings the other day and maybe i messed it up a bit!

Turbo Jam is awsome. 24 hour fitness teaches a class that is very close to it. TKB, (Turbo Kickboxing). I don't know how many calories you burn, but I have done both the dvd and 24 hour fitness. It is soo great for your stomach and calorie burn. There are several dvd to it, and each one is geared toward something a bit different. Within each dvd, you will get a one minute turbo, which is a fast pace calorie burning of the entire cd. Some of the dvds will offer 2- 4 turbos. I love kickboxing and have not found any other full body cardio that works as good, burning that many calories. But, mix it up, because your body will become use to the same thing. Do turbo 2-3 times a week, then try other cardio, I like a variety as not to get bored, but all are full body workouts, and three to 4 days a week include cardio and weights. A lot of work , but in the end worth it. As the old saying goes, you will never say. "I wish I would not have done that". Good luck

The moves will definitly come to you. Turbo is much easier than step. The moves are eventually all the same throughout each video. The difference is that some dvds are longer and faster. Take it one step at a time, you will get it. I have been doing it for 3 years, and can go to a class with any instructor now, and know the moves. Once you understand what Charlene calls her moves you will get it. She is very easy to follow. You will see results in your torso, develop balance, and it is great for your core. Good luck:happy:

Morning ladies! I did the 20 min abs last night and boy oh boy am I feeling them this morning! :grumble: :happy: Haha! How do you log the ab work out? Also, I have the gloves, but am unsure of when I should be wearing them. Is it with a specific dvd or with any of them?

I am working a little later today, but hope to get something in when I get home.

Good Morning Ladies!

Janet...WTG pushing through your workout. I usually get a call about 15 mins into my workout, then I try to convince myself that it was long enough and I don't have to finish. :laugh: But I know what you mean about accounability...I usually post what I'm going to do before I do it, so I always finish, otherwise the guilt will haunt me. :laugh: :laugh:

So having said that, I'm going to do CP2 and Ab Jam now...

Welcome mechanicmom! :flowerforyou: I'm sure once you get used to the moves you'll be as addicted to TJ as we are!

Amanda, good job on the workouts...I love Ab Jam! I wear my gloves for all of the cardios...CP1, 2, 3, PK&J, etc. The only time I don't is when I'm using weights or the band (can't hold the band with the gloves on ) I don't wear them for Ab Jam either, although I guess I could...

Have a great day everyone!
:flowerforyou:

thats my progress since starting turbo jam 8 weeks ago. and changing my eating patterns. I haven't done any other work outs other than turbo jam (except I did do yoga the first week) and it really will get your butt in shape!!! lol Its the only workout I've ever done that actually has taken inches off my thighs. I'VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO TAKE INCHES OFF MY THIGHS. Its also the only work out that I've actually looked forward to. The work outs just fly by!!! I def. recommend it to anyone.

I saw your pictures last week and I called my friend and we both ordered turbo jam. They are really inspirational! I am no where near your first picture but it gives me hope. I only did the burn yesterday to learn the moves, but my body feels it today. I know it's going to work me over.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Drevan's Mom ! I sent you a PM ! Hopefully you got it

Hey Everybody,
Lots of new faces!! So glad you all are here. I love TJ , have had success with it ( lbs, inches , strength and endurance) It's the most fun working out I've ever had and I am sticking to it!! So welcome one and all. I followed her advanced workout schedule for the first week (i had already been working out) then once I got the moves I've been able to tailor it to fit my schedule and weight loss goals.
My body looks and feels totally different since I started this past Jan and I look forward to continued changes. I hope you newbies will give it a try and stick with it long enough to see the results - you'll be glad you did. I'm 47 and have never had definition in my stomach area. I'm here to tell you I do now and it's all b/c of TJ. Like Chalene says " it's never too late to get the abs you want" I am not where I desire to be but I am no where near where I used to be, and it feels great!!

Checking in w/ 20min TJ so far plan on CP3 and Ab Jam with the phone off after work ( thanks Drevans)!! I did do PK & J and got to watch Biggest loser .. but I fell asleep during the weigh in! Guess what I'll be doing after the workout tonight??:laugh:
Great job to all for keeping up with your workouts ~ you continue to inspire me!!

just wanted to check in ~ time to head back to work!

Janet

Well, I was able to get off work early today. I tried to do CP1 with my gloves. First time and I lasted 15 minutes. I am telling myself, hey it was something...plus, I'm about to go start scrubbing the boat. So, that should burn some calories! I will say that I definitely could feel how sore my abs were with this workout!!!

Ok checking in with cardio party 1!!! It kicked my butt big time tonight!!!!! I'm still trying to recover... (I was done about 5 minutes ago!) hope everyone had a good night!

I did 20 minutes today. Still trying to get all the moves but I did work up a little bit of a sweat. I'm not much of a dancer (or shaker) so I am probably not burning as much as I could. But I did it!
