Turbo Jam?

[katia7]

Has anyone tried Turbo Jam? I'm looking for something that is a little easier than Cathe, but not too easy. Would Turbo Jam fit that?

Also, I heard there are new ones out. Out of all of them, which do like the most?

Thanks

I have Cardio Party 3 & yes, it's easier than Cathe but not a waste of time. Also fun b/c you're not killing yourself.

Haven't tried any others though & would be interested in hearing people's opinions on which is the best.

I had Cardio Party 3 but sold it. I liked the workout but both times I did it I ended up with severe back pain. Go figure.

I LOVE Turbo Jam, BUT I think it's really important that new participants get a copy of the "Learn & Burn" DVD which came with the original set, because this is about the only place where Chalene really talks through form. I think she assumes in later workouts that everyone is graduating through the series as she produces them, so she doesn't give many form pointers.

Anyway, other than the L&B I really love and would recommend Cardio Party 3, Fat Blaster, Kick Punch & Jam, and the new ball workouts. I don't really care for the TJ sculpting stuff.

Good luck!

I have all of the Turbo jam workouts. The sculpting workouts are nothing to write home about. However, the cardio workouts are wonderful!! Especially if you use weighted gloves. It is not as hard as Cathe, but if you put your all into it, you can get a terrific workout. In my opinion, the new "on the ball" series is the best one so far. You can use these links for a preview of them.

Cardio Party 3 and Punch and Kick, & Jam are also great. There is a lot of "booty shaking " and club music. If that's not your thing, you may not like it.

I've been thinking about ordering these. But I've heard so many bad things about BB that I'm a little affriad to order through them. Are there any other sites that sell Turbo Jam? I'm sure that I can go to ebay. But just thought that maybe some of you had other suggestions.

Thanks!

I cannot believe i like Turbo Jam. I am anti "bunny aerobics" types. But I got it anyway since I love boxing and kick boxing. And gotta say, it will work your abs like crazy. No, it is not heavy duty high impact like Cathe. But it is a good workout. Would like to see more kicking in the DVDs, more upper body moves. And like I said lots of core work throughout. My abs and mid back were screaming after, and I am pretty darned fit.

Once I do the Turbo Sculpt stuff I will check in. I am doing a heavy weight rotation now, so will likely use next week when I move to lighter weight training phase.

My issue is the length of the workouts. Cardio Party 3 is the only one I know of that's longer than 30 minutes. Are any of the others longer?

Cardio Party 2 is a little over 40 minutes. Kick Punch and Jam is longer too, but I'm not sure how long because even though I have it, I haven't done it yet.
