Turbo Jam: Learn and Burn

Okay, I love this workout.
Chalene Johnson, the perky leader of the pack, is the type I usually hate...skinny and telling me to do one more, just one more...but I LOVE her! She is upbeat and perky, but also understanding and fun. She stops mid workout, and admits that since she is the leader, she can stop when she gets tired and let us do the work. I love that, an honest skinny woman telling me to do one more!

Besides Chalene, am so impressed with the arsenal of moves that she employs to get her brood, now including me, in shape. They are easy, but you can also see how doing hundreds of them over the course of a month are going to lead to smaller waists and leaner thighs, and that is just the type of results I am looking for. There are 11 moves, she calls the Elite 11...and they are sure to get me in shape.

I will do this for about a week and a half...then I will let you know how I feel, how I look,and about the next video in the series.

Colony Review: Turbo Jam


Okay, I bought a sort of "preview" version of Turbo Jam about a year ago. I loved the Sculpt portion, and the Cardio Party was fun...but my two year old would never let me get through it, so I put it away in favor of quicker workouts that I could do in parts.

So now, he is infatuated with watching Diego, Spongebob, and Sesame Street, and I can concentrate on my waistline again. So, I ordered the original Turbo Jam 5 DVD pack from Amazon for a great $39.00.

My last go with Turbo Jam left me feeling revived, and about an inch or so off my waist in a really short time. I need a good 5 inches off my waist, so I am ready to get the Turbo Jam party started...

So over the next few weeks, look for my reviews of Turbo Jam as I work my way through the workouts, and I will let you know how effective or ineffective they are. And since I am both dedicated to my waist and my Queen Bees, I will be following a five day schedule per week, to give you maximum gain and to give me maximum loss!!!!
