has anyone tried the turbo jam videos .....

hey there
i have all of the turbo jam workouts and i love them all. they have helped me lose 30 pounds!! i would recommend them to anyone who wants a high energy calorie burning workout!

i second that. i lost 36lbs before becoming pregnant last year and i can't wait to get started on them again. chalene is hilarious and it's exactly what above said, a high energy wicked calorie burning workout series...i also just found hip hop abs and i love it, shaun t is great!

I love turbo jam. Just don't do it in front of children. Those moves can feel dirty

My mom actually introduced me to Turbo Jam .. I love it when I do it but, I always forget about it.. Maybe Ill do it tonight..

I live in Orange County, CA - ground zero of Turbo Jam creator Chalene and a member of 24Hour Fitness. She teaches a class down the street but it's during work hours so I can't attend.

I've seen the TJ videos but have never done it. But 24 does have a gym version called TurboKickBoxing. From what I heard the gym version is a more intense version simply because we have a live instructor and we feed off each other's energy. I've been participating in TKB for the last couple years. It aided my weight loss from 220 to 180 lbs.

It's a really great workout if you learn the fundamentals which are the 11 moves - i.e. the 4 punches, the kicks, roundhouse, zigzags, turbo twist, etc. It's important you keep your core muscles tight because that is your powerhouse.

I love TurboKick because you not only get a great cardio workout but also tone your core muscles and your entire body - if you use correct form.

You guys have inspired me to get up and move. I would like to lose 70 pounds I hope I can do it with Turbo Jam. I am such a slacker.

You guys have inspired me the slacker to get up and move. Thanks!!!

Hahaha! I've accidentally kicked a couple of my boys, so I try and make sure they aren't around when I do any kind of exercise, especially the Turbo Jam-though my 9 year old does like to do it too!

OH MY LORD I LOVE THEM!! I actually purchased a couple of Chalene's dvd's off of amazon.com and they are my favorites! I also like Jillian Micheals, however, for cardio you cannot go wrong with turbojam! I love them and they will always be my favs!
