Hey guys, I'm Dianne and just started doing Turbo Jam yesterday, I was hoping to meet some new friends to help with motivation and inspiration. I've heard nothing but great things about Chalene Johnson so I thought I'd give her a try!

    Glad to have you with us! I just keep telling myself if I keep doing it every day it will get easier and I will be that much closer, our capabilities are endless!

    Hello,
    I have had her videos a couple of weeks now & LOVE Them! After I tried the 20 minute workouts, I went right to the Cardio Party (50 min.) workout. Finally, I found a workout that works up a good sweat! Plus, it's a little more repetative than the other workout & I feel so energized when I do it! I also like her eating plan that comes with this. I tend to eat very similarly when I'm not giving into my chocolate - lol!

    Hey all,
    I love Turbo Jam. I have been doing it for about 2 years now and I am actually a certified TurboKickboxing (Chalene's version for 24 hour fitness) instructor though I am too busy to actually teach a class. (I got certified before I went back to school full time)
    I'm not planning to do it every day (because I am training for a half marathon and have to fit in my runs) but I will do at least 3 times per week. Looking forward to the new challenge.

    Day 3 of turbo jam done, still struggling with the moves. I'm extremely uncoordinated and use to doing more with weights and strength training, this makes me feel like such an amateur! That's okay, I will get it eventually, practice makes perfect! How are you guys doing? What do you like best about it?

    Sorry I missed your message yesterday. I have Turbo Jam! I considered myself fairly coordinated until I started trying to follow along. I did my first one this morning and everytime they went right, I went left and vice versa. Oh well, I was still moving..lol. I'm just glad I can do it in the privacy of my own home...some things aren't meant for everyone to see..lol.

    I here you about the choreography. I wasn't perfect when I started either - lol! However, compared to Firm Express - this is much more manageable (for me). I tried Zumba (at home video) & I absolutely couldn't follow it either....I am kind of challenged that way. I wish I wasn't, and I just keep trying!. Chalene says in one of her workouts that when she says "left" - it's our left & same for right. She is a "mirror image"....hope that helps.

    Day 4 is finished, I feel like I'm getting some of the moves a little bit better, however I'm still extremely frustrated!!:devil:

    Ever tried Firm Express? They combine more work with weights & sports type drills, although there isn't a ton of repetition. P90X has more repetition & a lot less "choreography" too. You might like either of these I think.

    Thank you, I was thinking about p90x and ChaLEAN Extreme. I want to master this though, I'm only 4 days in so I'm sure the more I do it the more comfortable I will feel. I like to be versatile. Knowledge is power!

    Just finished with Turbo Jam - Cardio Party! Luv It! I was sweatin' up a storm, but it was energizing - not draining! My back was hurting a little before I started the workout & by the time I was finished - no more pain! Woo! Hoo! Sure is better than taking a pain killer & a lot more fun!:wink: Diane - I was thinking about Chalene Extreme too!! I just like the way she runs her videos overall. I also have P90X - need to start that soon! Can't give up Turbo though - it's a great fat burner! Let me know if you or anyone is using these & what you think of them please.

    Good morning! I've struggled with working out early in the morning, but today, I actually got up (self motivated) & put in the 20min. Turbo Jam & Ab Jam & did those before I went for my morning bike ride. Woo! Hoo! Very energizing! I really need to keep up this habit so that when cold temps. come & the walks/bikerides cease, I will still get up & exercise as I need (& want) to! LOL....Hope everyone is finding time to workout with Chalene!

    That's an awesome job. Today I did the Punch Kick Jam and Booty Sculpt&Abs. I haven't done the ab workout but after today I'm looking forward to it.

    Guilty. Yesterday, I did not do any TJ or exercise at all and my poor diet was a shakeology shake in the morning and spaghetti right before bed.
    So I may have slipped but I did not fall and this morning I am right back on track.

    Way to go sweets!! We need to stay focused!! I have been having trouble lately :( But we can do this, it's so much easier if I just force myself to do it early and get it done and over with. That way I'm not stressing over it all damn day!

    I did Learn and burn and 20 minute workout.... I still feel as though I can't keep up with them, but I guess I don't look as foolish as I did the first day.

    Great job Dianne!!! I don't typically have a problem with ambition to do the workout. It's the trying to eat frequently that I still struggle with :/
