Put in DVD, Do wokout and eat sensibly about 3 times a week, tired of her chatter?--put on your own music or mute--but this workout is EFFECTIVE!--I sweat--Chalene Johnson's program is worth a try!!!

I liked: Timer bar Even repetitions on both sides Mirror cuing Building on each move The "pumped up" music option to drown out instructions (they get old) Turbo sections mimic interval training for bigger calorie burn Lack of cuing - when working out with a video for a long time, I would rather stumble at first than suffer from repetative, unnecessary instruction. I Didn't Like: Taking 12 minutes to demonstrate 11 moves. It's not enough to learn the correct form to avoid injury. While I like Charlene's goofy qualities, I wish I hadn't watched the special features - I bought it, I didn't need to be sold on her. Conclusion: It's a fun way to clock cardio time remembering that any video workout is apt to get boring. The trick is finding what's going to get your butt off the couch. Turbo Jam is a great motivator that I will continue incorporating in my rotation.

i recommend the turbo jam for ab workout. i also purchased the advanced turbo jam and to be honest. it was not as good as the original (in the informercial.) The original was more motivating, more variety in movement and works more abs, and the moves are much easier to follow. the advanced set did not work the abs as much and goes very fast and are much less interesting and motivating.

I purchased the TJ Maximum Results program, Lower Body Jam, Cardio Party #2, and Booty Sculpt from [] a month ago and can honestly say this is the best workout I've done. Believe me, I've tried many! I can actually see results in my abs. I also highly recommend purchasing the TJ weighted gloves from [] for added resistance. I purchased them and love them! I am seeing definition in my arms too!

I purchased TJ Cardio Party Mix #1 just to try the program. I was hooked right away. I've danced and exercised all my life but I've found this is outstanding. That was about 2 months ago. Since then I've purchased the entire basic program and have been doing all the workouts religiously everyday. I start with the Turbo sculpt and Booty sculpt early in the morning. By mid afternoon I usually do the Cardio Party (my favorite). In the evening before going to bed I like to do Ab Jam and/or the 20 minute workout. Chalene is terrific. I never get bored with this program. My current weight is 105 lbs., I've lost 3 dress sizes and several inches from waist, hips and thighs. My 14 yr. old daughter loves it and feels so motivated.I plan to do TJ forever and ever. It is that good!!

This is the best workout I ever done. Initially I was concerned about the price of this workout but then I got to thinking this is an investment in my health, I am worth it!!! This has been by far the best money I ever spent on any workout. I love the workout, I love the instructor and her hip style. I love the music. The music fits my personal tastes really well. I have lost 13 inches in one month of doing Turbo Jam and I lost about 7lbs. However, I only have about 30-40lbs to lose which is not much and I probably could have lost even more if I would have eaten better. Turbo Jam is changing my life for the better!! Thank you Turbo Jam/Chalene!!

Although I do believe that this product is a little on the expensive side I really do love the workouts. Charlene is the perfect mix of perky (to much really gets on my nerves)and motivational. I look forward to working out with her and would love to take a real class. I am in average shape but really work up a sweat with TJ. I have lost 10 pounds in 2 months and am happy with the results.

UPDATE: Even tho i have a really long way to go until i reach my wt. goal i am not givin up and i kno that Tj will be my tool to achieve this. It's really awesome. I'll continue 45 mins cardio party t/m and i'll try turbo sculpt and ab jam. they look hard tho. W/e i'll do all of this as long as i sweat as much as i do today or more everyday. I know i'll lose weight wit TJ. Glad i tried it. For those ppol thinkin of buying TJ go ahead I recommend this product. You don’t have to purchase the extra’s, just buying the basic is good enough for you can later purchase those extras on the internet. But I think I will in a month for more workouts. We’ll see. I’ll keep on updating here. Good luck guys =>

I received my Tj today and tried it for the first time. I read all the reading materials along wit it and decided to try it ryt away. I was able to follow Lean and Burn & 20 min work out. However, i only lasted 7 mins for the 45 mins cardio party coz my body is really tired and sore for it's my first time. I really really sweated a lot up. I didn't really continously do the workouts. i pause it once in a while to rest and drink water. Oh man i was so happy to feel my sweat drippin. it may sound kinda weird but i am really happy coz i haven't sweat this much for a long tym.

Well I just want to say that I am very veryyy happy with turbo jam. :) I spent my teenage years as the round girl and anyone who has been there knows it isn't always fun...I have lost 5 lbs so far and I have only been using TJ for the past week and 2 days, and I feel GREAT! I know some ladies will know where I am coming from when I say that I feel muscles in my tush. Did u know there were muscles there? I sure didn't. :) I love dancing, and hate exercising...so Turbo Jam is now the solution for me. :) I love tae bo because Billy is the man!!, but TJ isn't as hard on my knees which aren't the best. I will come back in a month with an update, but I can't wait to see where i go from here. Bye bye lbs..:) My bf loves it too. *wink*

I have been Turbo Jaming for 2 months now and I have lost 10 lbs and 2 inches off my waist... It is a fun workout and the music makes you want to move!!!

This is such a fun and awesome workout! I look forward to exercising everyday now. The music is great and Chalene is a great motivator. I've been doing this workout for 6 weeks now and my body is more sculpted and defined. I became easily bored with other videos I have tried - but not Turbo Jam. If you are looking for a fun, fast-paced workout with awesome music, this one is for you.

I purchased all of the Turbo Jam DVDs about two months ago. While all of the work outs guarantee sweat and fun, I have still yet to see any "fat loss." I have noticed great muscle definition due to Turbo Sculpt and Lower Body Jam, but I was highly disappointed with Fat Blaster which promised results. I follow the low calorie diet, and exercise five to six times a week because I am completely addicted to Turbo Jam! While it has only been two months, I will continue to work out faithfully simply because I can't get enough of the DVDs. However, I also use Tae Bo for a bit more intensity. I recommend Turbo Jam to anyone who wants to work out and feel great. While the inches have not decreased (yet), my self-confidence has sky rocketed.

I have been doing TJ for about a month and love it so much!! I ordered the rest of TJ DVD. I have tried several exersice videos but TJ is the best! I love the music and most of all it is so much fun and great work out. Time just flys by. Especially the indicator on DVD shows that how much time you left for each section really helps me to look forward to keep going and complete the work out! I can tell that even though my diet hasn't realy changed, my body has been changing. I got more toned and lost inches. None of this kind of exersice can beat TJ. It is such motivating and effective. Turbo Jam is the BEST!!

I am an exercise video junkie. (Taebo, Core Secrets, Kathy Smith, Tamilee Web...) This is by far the best ever. For other videos, I can only bear 20 minutes 2-3 times a week. With Turbo Jam, I have been doing the full 43 minutes (Cardio Party) everyday. The music is awesome. You feel like you are dancing, not exercising. I look forward to it everyday. However, doing it every day may be tough on your knees. So last couple days, I have done the low impact version. I look really good now. I can't believe I can now can wear sleeveless shirt and Size 4p after having 2 kids. I am ordering Cardio Mix Party #2 and later probably #3.

After working out pretty consistently for about ten years, I lost my motivation. I needed a kick start and I definitely found that with TJ. I have been doing TJ for about 6 weeks now and my husband says my butt is the tightest it's ever been! I love this workout and find myself looking forward to my 5am workouts! Great music - fun moves - and I still feel sore and soaked after each workout!!!

I started with the 10 day program and lost 6 pounds but was glad when the 10 days were up because I was bored with the workouts. Despite Chalene’s claims, the music doesn’t make me forget I'm working out and no matter how many times Chalene insists you are having fun it's still just a workout. Chalene can be annoying, her cueing isn’t the best and I’ve done most of the “Elite 11” moves in other workouts. I did like that I was able to follow the choreography almost immediately and that I did sweat enough to feel I was getting an adequate workout. I also appreciate that I can do these workouts anywhere and don’t need a ton of equipment, making it a good workout to take when I need to travel. TJ won’t be my primary workout but I will keep it in rotation so I don’t feel like I wasted $70.

UPDATE: After 9 weeks of doing Turbo Jam, I have lost a total of 26 pounds, 2 dress sizes and even more gratifying are the amazing changes in the shape of my body. I am now buying sleeveless shirts because I am no longer ashamed to show my upper arms - I even bought a new bathing suit and did not have to immediately cover myself with a towel because I no longer am ashamed of my body! Chalene thank you for your humor, your caring and your daily inspiration . . . thank you for helping me to enjoy and participate in my life.

"It's time to party, come on and move your body"......All I have to do is sing these few words and my body starts to dance! I'm a 47yr old woman, mother of four who works part time so that I can also take care of my mom who has Alzheimer’s( and a list of other medical issues.) I get up early to work out that I can have some time for myself. I have found that Turbo Jam makes it easy to want to get up and exercise. I ‘m at the end of my third week with Turbo Jam and find it absolutely enjoyable! I find that I have so much more energy through out the day. I actually look forward to working out! I’d recommend this product to anyone who wants to firm up, lose some weight and get more energy, and most of all….have FUN while you’re doing it!

I did my first turbo jam workout about 6 weeks ago. I have been hooked ever since. I do it in the morning as soon as I wake up and then I rush home after work to do it again. I've lost 10 pounds, and am just amazed how my body has responded. I noticed changes after only 4 workouts. I just bought the rest of the videos so that I can mix things up. I have taught aerobics and personal trained for the last 15 years and in about a month or so I plan to add turbo jam classes to my teaching schedule (I can't wait)! I know the woman in my class will love it too! I tell everyone they should be doing this workout.
