Turbo Jam

Were you struggling with it? Learn and Burn is a great place to start, just keep doing it and learn the moves. I love all of Turbo, I'm not even sure which parts I like best! Let me know if you need any help!

Turbo Jam has been my go-to workout for years. I've lost weight with it time and time again (and gained back because I love fried food and beer....different story). It really gets my heart rate up without me feeling like I'm dying. Once you get the moves down, you'll be fine. The hardest for me was the tuck position. It look awhile to get to where I wasn't killing my back and doing it properly. Also, I did TJ on carpet for years and had to modify many moves for my knees. I just thought that was the way it had to be but we recently moved and have tile floors - I can pivot like nobody's business!

Good luck to you!

I just started Turbo Jam today too. I think I'm with you, gonna do just Learn and Burn for a week. I found that I had a hard time keeping up at times, but that's probably me being hugely out of shape. I've heard (and this makes sense) that the more important thing in the beginning is just keeping moving and doing your best. Good luck to both of us!

It's been several years since I was a TJ newbie but today, the Hubs tried it for the first time. It was....interesting to say the least. I don't remember what it was like to learn from scratch, but he made it quite clear that it's TOUGH in the beginning! We did Learn and Burn together, then he called it quits so I snuck in the 20 min workout. The speed definitely makes it hard. Once you get down the way Chalene does things, it'll become second nature.

Please don't get discouraged! Maybe commit to doing the Burn section for a week and then reevaluating where you are at?

Don't get discouraged, think of it as part of the fun. Even Chalene will tell you, it's not fun if you master it the first time. As you master it, you get to really up the intensity. I did Turbojam and moved onto Turbofire. It's a great workout. I hope you stick with it!

I felt comfortable with the learn and burn, so yesterday I tried the 20 minute workout, and struggled. I wasn't expecting all those new moves, and they don't give you much time to actually get it right before moving on. Today I'm not looking forward to this! My spirits are low

Do not be discouraged if you don't get it at first. it took me a few times to get each workout down, but now I can do them in my sleep. At first, I had to really concentrate and if one of my cats ran in the room or someone tried to talk to me, I would immediately mess up. Now, I can do the workouts with the cats weaving around my legs while having a full blown conversation with someone else. You have to be patient. And as Chalene say, mistakes burn calories too.

I do Turbo Jam "Cardio Party" (#1) all the time! I love that workout. You'll get the hang of it in no time, I promise. Chalene does need to work on her cues, but as she says, it's no big deal if you make a mistake - at least you're moving!

I have turbojam and turbofire. I know the moves are a little tricky but keep at it you will get it really quickly. I am 54 and I can do them. Turbofire is faster and more intense. I have had GREAT results with both. I find that with either workout within two weeks you will see a pretty nice difference. So keep it up.
