    Hi everyone!
    Good job on the workouts! Christy...Way to go for it!!! :drinker:

    Kennie, alot of us use heart rate monitors, but for me, kickboxing on this database is almost identical to what my HRM calculates for the all of the cardio programs.

    Checking in with CP2 and Chalean Extreme Burn 2 today. If you guys are interested in CE I definitely recommend it! I'm only in week 2 of CE, and I can't believe the difference in my muscle tone! Be forewarned that it's NOTHING like TJ. No dancing or fun music, even in the two cardio DVD's she provides, but it's really kicking my workouts up a notch. The weight training segments are scheduled 3 days a week, so that leaves me plenty of room to keep Jammin'!!!

    have a great afternoon!
    :heart:

    I ordered CE....what weights are recommended? 5#? 8# ? I have some weights, but want to be prepared. Thanks

    Actually that's kind of a problem with CE...you need alot of different weights! After 2 weeks I'm using anywhere from 10# to 25# depending on the exercise. The 2nd month (Push phase) goes even heavier. And the thing is you really need a good range...10, 15, 20...etc. I got a set of the kind you dial from 5-25 lbs which works well (they were about $60 at Wal-mart). I looked at Chalene's site and her weights go from $700-$1000! :noway: :noway: :noway:

    I'm really happy with the program, just be aware that to do it right, it's really an investment! :smile:

    I'm so glad I asked!!! I will make a trip to Walmart and look for the adjustable weights...I'm impressed, 25#!!!
    I just grabbed my 10# weights and nearly fell over :grumble: :mad: But thats why I ordered CE :smokin:

    I did Cardio Party for the first time today. I worked up a pretty good sweat and felt really good once I finished. :smile:

    Hey Jam Family,
    Checking in w/ 20 min this morning and Just finished CP2 and 20min - man, that was a good workout! I would have settled for CP2 alone but adding the 20min behind it was really good!!
    Great job on all the workouts today Ladies ~ i'm proud of you all!! You keep me moving in theright direction:drinker: :drinker:
    Megan - I am so excited to hear about your progress w/ CE!! I can't wait til I get a few extra bucks so I can invest!! Maybe since the weight training segments are only 3 x /week I might stick to them. If She is half as motivating as she is in TJ I'm sure I'll stick with it. Only 2 weeks and you can see a difference???? and your lifting 25#?? WOW!! I'm totally impressed. I'm w/ Christy - 10#s feels like alot to me right now!! I'm much more comfortable w/ 7-8# for reps. Are you getting bulky at all? I def dont want to look puffed up... I can't afford that at all:laugh:

    Settling down now w/ some SF pudding and the remote ~ satisfy that sweet tooth! Eating has been much better and that make me happy. Sometimes it's hard for me to get back on track.

    Have a wonderful nite everybody,
    Janet:heart:

    Hey Jammers

    Still here!! I have had such an off week! I'm no where near falling off the wagon, just finding it hard to be motivated this week! Does anyone else find it hard to keep track during that time of the month?:blushing: I just find i am craving anything and everything!! Grr!

    Well I haven't done a TJ workout everyday, but I have still been walking!

    Later Jammers

    Becky!

    Hi Family,
    Just making a really quick check in w/ CP2 before work and on my way to get in 20min and AB Jam before I lose my motivation!! Sometimes it just helps to write it down:laugh:
    Beeks - I no loger have t hat issue .... but I still crave ?????? So what's my problem,LOL!!
    The eating has been much betterof late - Brown rice, brussel sprouts and some grilled spicey turkey sausage(thanks Drevans) are on for tonight and of course my SF jello pudding!!

    Hope all are doing well and jammmin away:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    Kelly, Becky I can't believe this week has flown by either. And as far as eating....WOW I don't know what has come over me....I'm ALWAYS hungry. I think it's because I'm not getting as much water as I should. I'm making healthy eating choices but definately eating too much of them

    I did get a workout in today... CP and then a 2 mile walk. Going down to get frozen yogurt right now...and then hitting the couch for Hell's Kitchen and Southland....then I need to work UGH!

    Great job on all the workouts today!

    Hi Everyone!
    checking in with CP2 and ab jam today. Great job on all of your workouts/walks, etc! :drinker:

    Janet and Christy....I'm really loving CE. The 25# I'm using is just for the lunges right now. My lower body is much stronger than upper, but I'm getting there. Actually I'm really excited...Chalene's really BIG on pushups in this program, ugh! :grumble: She has you do a strength test before you start and I could only do 1 push up absolutely correctly (the rest I had to cheat), and yesterday in the workout I did all 12 correctly!! Yeah Me!! :laugh:

    Becky I definitely have a few days a month when I'm completely unmotivated and don't want to eat healthy. I have noticed that it's not as bad now that I'm in better shape than a few months ago, but even still, I just try not to over do it too much eating wise and maybe go for a shorter walk or something just so I don't feel too guilty :tongue: The good news is that it always passes and I get a new burst of energy afterwards!

    Have a great night everyone!

    Hi Megan,

    I have the CE workouts but I'm finding it hard to balance that with the TJ's... Any ideas?

    I havent got past the first week of CE yet as I'm finding it really hard to keep me intersted! I just love the upbeat of TJ's, plus you really dont realise how hard your working, whereas in the CE its a killer!

    Hi Deedun!
    We've missed you! :smile: I agree, CE is much less "fun" than TJ! And it IS a Killer!! But The weight lifting workouts are only about 35 mins 3x/wk, and since I used to do Turbo Sculpt for toning 3x/wk, I've pretty much just substituted (I also do the CPs in place of the cardio program she provides in CE). One thing that helps me stay motivated is that my husband will do this workout with me. He wouldn't do TJ. The other thing that helps right now is that I've been at my goal weight for a while now and I really feel like I need to push myself a little more to get the definition I want. I have to say that most days I don't look forward to it, but I just suck it up and go do it. :laugh: It'll never replace TJ...but I'm determined to follow it for the 90 days and the changes I'm seeing already in my body definition and strength are extremely motivating!
    Good Luck!

    I've missed coming on here but with the whole trip to Boston, then catching a tummy bug when I came back, I've been eating around me!

    Tonight will be my first time to exercise in weeks and I hate the way I get myself into these vicious circles. I am back on track but need to sort out my exercise!

    So Megan, do you stick with the CE schedule or do you do it at your own pace?

    I remember half way thru a particularly hard exercise that I was going to be sick, is this normal???

    With the weight lifting schedule I totally follow her plan, so for the Burn segment I lift 3x/week and do cardo and Abs on alternate days. Sometimes I'll add a cardo on weight days, but it just depends on how I feel. Those weight days can be pretty intense and if you're feeling sick I'd say you're pusing too hard. Did you try switching to lighter weights? I think figuring out which weights are heavy enough, but not too heavy is the trickiest part of the program at first. The other thing is that I've never seriously lifted weights before, and it's so different from cardio and toning. Basically it hurts like H*LL! :laugh: I feel great when I'm done but it's a long 30 mins! It does get easier with every workout, but if you're feeling sick I'd suggest going lighter or using the bands and work on your form until you feel better.

    Yea you are probably right. I ordered in the adjustable weights so I will start again with those and see how I get on...

    I am going to start it again from tomorrow on and tonight I plan on easing myself back into the TJ's with the 20min & TS..

    Hi Deedun, Megan Janet, Drevan, Kennie, all of the Jammers!!!

    Checking in with CP1. I cannot believe I complete a whole week of workout videos! This is an accomplishment for me :drinker: :flowerforyou:

    I owe it to the enthusiastic Jammers on this thread, thank you!

    I love CP1!! I'm sticking with the schedule in the booklet that came with the CDs so next week I'll be adding AJ to the mix. I'll also be getting my CE DVDs next week too.

    WooooHooo have a great day!!

    Congrats to everyone. I am heading out of town for a week for work so I won't have any TJ going on but I will do cardio. The hotel has a fitness room so I can at least do that. I managed to lose a pound while on vacation by doing an hour of cardio 5 days a week. :noway:

    That's what I'm hoping for. I'll check in with you all when I return next weekend. Good luck to everyone! :drinker:

    I was so happy to see a drop on the scale this morning, it's been a while. Now I am officially half way to my goal! :bigsmile:

    Kennie and Christy, good job on your workouts! :drinker:
    Kat, congrats on the weight loss!!:flowerforyou: Have fun on your trip...don't spend it all in the fitness center though :wink: Although I must admit, DH and I go on alot of business trips and the fitness centers are my favorite part of the trip! (hmmm, maybe I need to get a life) :laugh:

    Today's a CE day for me, and I'm pretty wiped out, so no TJ :sad:

    Where's Janet and Lyn today?!?!

    have a great evening everyone!

    Hey Ladies (and Gents??) !

    Checking in with L&B, did Burn segment twice. :smokin: :smokin:

    Last night I ate a domino's thin crust cheese pizza, about 90% of the large...LMAO. :laugh: The thin pizza and the itsty-bitsy square slices get me every time. I enjoyed it! :happy:

    I enjoyed it so much so that I'm going to to L&B tomorrow too!! :love: :love:
    I really sweat with that one, its a good beginning or in-between workout.

    I know someone here is going on a trip...enjoy..have a great day.:flowerforyou:

    My week was crazy. I think I only jammed once....maybe twice...I don't even remember. I did get some walking in though. Today I walked 4.5 miles, 2.25 miles before it rained....and 2.25 miles IN the rain...it was great. So nice to just be outside and smell spring and listen to my MP3 player and not have a care in the world except how many calories I'm burning....720 to be exact!

    Glad to see you are all doing well.
    Christy great job on a full week of workouts that's an amazing accomplishment!
    Wildkat have fun on your trip.
    Becky glad you are feeling better.
    Dara nice to see you on the thread again.
    Megan-Hi :) Did you see the new Turbo Kick workouts available? I'm think I will just order them and THEN tell my hubby LOL

    Well I am suppose to be having a "RockBand" night with a friend and well... my hubby and her are playing and I'm on the computer. They have spent the entire day together...took the kids to the circus and then she came over for dinner and now RockBand....I'm being a b****. I didn't wanna go to the circus because of allergies (it was indoors) and I had an evening planned for the fam, until I got the call that she'd be joining us for the rest of the evening. Oh and not just her...her two kids too. So Dre is entertained and that's wonderful. I'm just pissy cuz hubs got mad at me eariler for something that had nothing to do with me and now he wonders why I don't wanna have a good time....gee maybe cuz you pissed me off??? Sorry I'm just venting here cuz I can't anywhere else! Thanks

    Hey Family,
    Yesterday was just so busy I didn't have have a chance to post. Glad to see everybody still making time to take care of themselves; it doesn't matter if it's a lot of exercise or what we can fit in as long as we just keep on trying!! I am finding that the busy-ness of life will continue to keep presenting itself but that doesn't mean i have to forget about what makes me happy. I am better prepared to meet the challenges when I remember to put myself on the seemingly endless list of "things to do", :wink:
    I had 2 meetings, co-hosted a bridal shower, grocery shopped and did a smidge of yard stuff but I got in CP2 first and that made me feel good so I wasn't so overwhelmed by the day. I played charades at the bridal shower - and It was really fun!! I made a total fool of myself trying to get them to say the right answer and it was a blast. It was outdoors in this really pretty park by a lake that had a fountain in it and the bride to be seemed very happy. My eating was even pretty good- yea!!!
    I just finished PK & J and i'm sitting here sipping coffee enjoying that feeling after a good workout. Hubs is still sleeping and it's just me and the "Monkey", my K9; she's a good ole girl. I love Sunday mornings when the house is quiet and the light filters in through the windows. The hibiscus are all blooming and the backyard is covered with big reddish blossoms ~ ahhh Spring....

    Hope everyone has a wonderful day and enjoys their families,

    Janet:heart:

    Hi All,
    I'm new to myfitnesspal, but a huge fan of Turbo Jam. Just wondering how you log in your Turbo Jam exercies? Do you just use the aerobic and strength training categories and the time of the workout? I was hoping there would have been listings for some of the branded DVD exercises out there...
    Thanks!
    Jessica
