Turbo Jam anyone? And My Drill Max confession

P

pressju

Cathlete
I am not one to like hootin and hollerin aerobunnies but none the less ordered Turbo Jam. I am a big kick boxing fan, and it looked like a good deal. Has anyone else tried it? I am a big kickboxing fan, have been doing it for 15 years (even had a boxing coach at one point). Really gets my arms cut.

Pointers? Thoughts?

Now onto Drill Max: I must confess. When I first did it, I hated it! So high impact, so hard! I thought "That it's - onto ebay with you!" Then I did the pre-mixes: Upper Body Circuit, Total Body, Scrambled Eggs. Oh happy day! Just loved it. Different challenges - bands, weights, ball, plyos, wow!!!

Please forgive me my forum friends. I have converted.

Humbly yours,
Julie
 
I am one of the few who didn't care for Turbo Jam. It wasn't a bad workout. I just found all the yelling and "baby doll" and singing to be annoying. I really wanted to like it and I did it several times just hoping I would "catch the fever." I finally broke down and sold it on Ebay. BUT, I am also not a big fan of kickboxing either...
Good news about Drill Max. I've been too scared to even try this one. I think I'll check out the premixes first.
 
I love Turbo Jam - the workouts are fast-paced and a lot of fun. I also LOVE Drill Max, it's my favorite of the new set!

I like TJ, it's not too intense & it's a fun workout for light days. I only have Cardio Party 3 & my only criticism is WTH is this lady wearing a skirt to work out? }(

Marie, what other TJ workouts are worth owning? They all seem so short--I don't want to buy a cardio workout that's less than 40 minutes.
 
Laura Max Marie and Muffin Top (might I add the best part of the muffin!) thanks for the input on Turbo Jam. Funyt about the skirt - was doing Turbo Jam Cardio Party 3 last eve (intermediate level to be sure) and my 6 yo DD said, "Why is she wearing a skirt to gym class?". Good question kid!

Also did the 20 minute ab workout and it was really good. The one that comes on the original 5 workout DVD. Will let you all know about the others.

Ho ho ho all!

Did you try Cardio Blast yet? It's my favorite. Too bad it's only 30 minutes. Sometimes I double up on the intensity sections (aka Turbos). I think you'll like this one.
 
Laura--I think Punch, Kick & Jam is worth having...I agree with you about the skirt.
The workouts are all shorts, but you can combine segments from different tapes , e.g. 2 segments from Cardio Party 3 + 2-3 segments from Punch, Kick and Jam.

Also, I just received Kelly Coffey-Meyers Stepbox tape and previewed it, but didn't do it yet. It definitely looks fun.

If any of you belong to a gym, you should check the schedule for Turbo Kick. It is a blast and much harder than Turbo Jam.
I just did Cardio Party 3 yesterday, too. I think the skirt is fun, just like the workout. Tracie Long wears a skirt in one of her TLT workouts. There are bike shorts attached to the skirt. They remind me of tennis skirts.

Duly noted Jordan. I sent a mea culpa to Cathe on this. Let's consider this email string of mine closed. Those interested, we can pick it up on the Open Discussion forum. Thanks.
