What-SUP Jammers!!

This thread is so FLIPPIN' fast! I've been trying to catch up on your posts to get every little last bit of feedback I can before we film the next 4 videos this week. I think you're gonna LOVE what we're doing with these next videos.

ASK AND YOU SHALL RECIEVE!
The music is off the HOOK (with a "louder" option for those of us who like it PUMPIN'). The moves are INTENSE...but we're still SHAKIN' and FREAKIN' it. Oh, and the FAT BLASTER (official name TBD)...LOOK OUT lalalala ladies and fefefefe fellas...this one is like no other! You'll unveil a NEW LEVEL in your cardio fitness....at your convenience of course. How does multiple turbos in succession sound? Too hard? No. Not to worry. We'll also show you how to do the Turbo's at a much lower intensity or freak it and do 'em all at 100% intensity. This workout is truly one size fits all

Punch, Kick and Jam (working title)
This is another long cardio workout, but the time flies. This one is the one you'll use when you don't feel like thinking as much and need more repetition, but still want blazin' hottttt music. This one is more like the "Flashback" round we did for Turbo Kick, i.e. less dancey stuff, but you'll definately find places to jam. This is the ideal workout to get someone who "hates to dance". They'll try it. They'll love it and the next thing ya know, they'll be knocking at the door to our Cardio Parties.
This video also incorporates a whole cardio Capoeira section (brazilian style of martial arts). You know, like the "Ginga" and the "wheel" that are such ab-blasters, well...MORE of that! And, just in case you're wanting a TOTAL BODY WORKOUT (who doesn't?), we'll be using a new band (tubing) by Beachbody in several of the new workouts. This is an "option" I add to some of the punching for those who really want to make the workouts tougher. HOWEVER, you'll see that about 1/2 the people don't use the bands and that's because they aren't for everyone. Those who are at a beginner fitness level, or are just enjoying themselves will get a great workout without.
We do some way cool isolated punching and kicking...it's a BURN you'll hate loving!

Oh, and one more thing, another Cardio Party (CP3) and this one ROCKS THE HOUSE! I can't wait for you all to see what I've put together for this one! It's a 50+ min workout for all you die hard TJ'ers,, but it will have the option to do a shorter version of this worktout too!

Soooo, I won't say too much more and spoil the fun I have with your anticipation! But, please know that, although I haven't had a chance to post, I'm busy busy busy planning your next PARTAAAAY!

Before I sign off, I just want to say I'm so impressed with the advice and support y'all are giving each other. You don't know it, but I'm constantly introducing new people to YOU on these boards....it's an endless flow of POSITIVE ENERGY!

Mark, MY MAN, I hear you're a real P90 Poster child and a LEGEND around these boards....PLEEEEEZ help us recruit some more real men like yourself to the TurboJam workouts! What's the fear? And, great to hear you're getting certified to teach! I call that paying it forward. Once you experience the joys of fitness and the many benefits of this lifestyle, we all have an obligation to turn others onto it (and most importantly our children!)

Ipodchic - Try using heavier weights for TurboSculpt and hopefully you'll be shakin' like a chuwawa! We filmed with really light weights, and that is mainly because we do so many takes and want to be able to lift the weight on the 10th take. However, when I do it at home I use 8 and for some exercises even 10's.

Heather - I didn't forget - the Chicken George shirts are coming! They should be in our office next week. Remind me, who originally posted that great "I LOVE Chicken George" t-shirt picture? Sending her the first 5! And girl....you're craaaaazy!!!! We still need for George to let us know the charity of his choice (and if I missed that, please let me know)

Hey, all you NEWBIES, please join us in our next live chat! Just come on by and enjoy a crazy hour of speed reading. Don't be shy!

Ok, back to party-planning for now! We finish filming Thursday. Check my blog spot for updates. I'll take a bunch of photos and we have some naughty little pranks planned..... Some we've already masterminded and executed...

Here's a hint... my favorite so far involves, Mindy, me, my SUV and a car thief!

Kick it, shake it....

I am so excited. I can't wait to order.

Thanks for the update. I am enjoying the TJ's and really like that they are working on the music being louder. It is so hard to get at information easily on the Beachbody site - so I really appreciate you finding it and keeping us updated. I am defintely looking forward to more TJ workouts - and like that their will be some more longer ones - and with more Turbos...

Now if I could finally get some CP #1 & #2 that do not freeze... About to call in for the 2nd set of replacements.

Thanks again...
 
Rhonda - that is only for the base package and not the information on the new stuff... For example - what was copied in the first post by Mariángeles was on page 25 of a Turbo Jam forum thread.... That is a lot of misc reading to get to the meat of what is going on with TJ products...

I guess we get spoiled with being able to find the information here in a better format without having to read 25 pages of forums to get to what you want... :)
 
Anne I always check the TJ beachbody forum, videofitness and the Chalene blog spot daily and I post the updates here. I hope you will receive CP 2 and 1 without freezing.I have seen this message in the videofitness reader forum about that:


Latest TJ remaster / replacement dvd's ~ update :)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am so excited about this latest news I got today from Amber, I thought I would share it here! Amber is the best, and always comes through for me with any BB problems ~ so I am thanking her here too!!!! She is awesome at fixing things up for me.... and fairly quick at it too considering how busy BB must be right now

Anyways ~ the update I got from Amber in regards to replacing my TJ dvd's (I have 4 that freeze in spots) ~ was this:

....we are not re-mastering the whole Turbo Jam set. The first 5 workouts are being put onto a single DVD: Learn and Burn, 20 Minute Workout, Turbo Sculpt, Cardio Party 1 and Ab Jam. Cardio Party Mix 2 and Lower Body Jam will remain on separate DVDs as they are now.

So, I've requested my replacements and can't wait to get the new set I'm liking the idea of 5 of the workouts on one dvd. Maybe their will be great chaptering as BB's usual quality is pretty good. At any rate, I'm just excited to be getting a good high quality set like BB usually makes.



Amber's email address is Amber Otto [[email protected]
