BACK PAIN

30 Aug 2007 - Kelly of Florida, USA writes:

I bought TJ about a year ago but because I got pregnant did not use it until 1 month ago and I was really impress because is so easy to follow . The only problem is that after 2 weeks of use I started with back pain so I though I was probably doing something wrong but I had my husband watch me and I always keep my back straight. I checked all reviews to see if someone else has reported this type of effect. Unfortunately, I had to stop using it, even though I loved it my back certainly will feel if I keep doing this work out.

AMAZING!!!

17 Aug 2007 - Elyse of Ohio, USA writes:

I am 22 years old and have been exceedingly overweight since I was a kid. I was up late one night watching TV with my best friend, and we saw the Turbo Jam infomercial. Since it was an infomercial, we were both totally skeptical, but let me be the first to say....holy crap. This workout has caused me to drop 55 pounds. I've gone from a size 16 in pants to a size 4. It is absolutely amazing, and the workout just flies by. I am SO glad I invested the money into this!!!

Great Cardio Workout!

15 Aug 2007 - Dina of Texas, USA writes:

I've been doing TJ for about a month now (20 min workout or Cardio Party everyday) - I have not drastically lost weight or inches although I notice my clothes fit much better. I try to eat healthy but I don't really count calories and I even eat out on weekends. Despite that, I do love this workout! I use to do treadmill as my daily workout, but I don't anymore since I prefer and enjoy TJ more. On the down side, I've noticed my right knee has been hurting especially when bending since I started TJ. I've read from other reviews here that people have experienced this also. I will have go to the doctor soon and get update my blog.

The Best Workout Ever

27 Jul 2007 - Linda of Texas, USA writes:

I can only say that this is the best workout I have ever done. I am 33 years old and have managed to stay at a decent weight but have excess fat and the famous celulite around my legs and hips. Everytime I try a new workout I get bored after about 2 weeks. I have tried Richard Simmons, Pilates, Taebo, Slim in 6, etc. I purchased turbo jam and have been doing it for over 2 weeks and I can only say WOW, I love it. I just can't wait to get home and do the Cardio Jam program every evening. The music is incredible and that little turbo section in the program is amazing. Energy comes from I don't know where. I would recommend it to anybody that likes to be challenged with a workout. It's amazing and I will stick to it for life if possible. It really feels like you're in a party. Thank you Chalene !!!!

Billy Blanks is better

24 Jul 2007 - Ashely of Arkansas, USA writes:

I borrowed these videos from a friend. I am totally glad that I did not purchase them myself. I felt nothing but a stomach ache from the ab moves (the ache was not from my muscles working)!!

24 Jul 2007 - Robbie of Johannesburg, South Africa writes:

The gym is just not my scene.I purchased TJ so that I can go mad in the privacy of my own home. I don't even let my kids watch me. I tried the TJ Ab and all I can say is Ouch!!!!! Chalene's video is brilliant I would recommend it to anyone who is willing to try something different. Go Chalene Go!!!!!

Pretty lame

22 Jul 2007 - Becky of Pennsylvania, USA writes:

I was in pretty good shape before buying turbo jam. So, I found it to be pretty boring and definitely not hard enough to make me sweat and feel like I was getting a better workout than getting on the treadmill. Not to mention she was extremely annoying and acted like she was working us so hard but I barely had my heart rate up. I can see that this might be a good workout for the beginner, but I would not recommend this for someone who is in pretty good shape and just looking for something new.

Turbo Jam works

20 Jul 2007 - Christy of Missouri, USA writes:

It's my 4th day using Turbo Jam and eating moderatley healthy. I haven't lost any weight yet but I definatley feel the burn without throwing my back out of place. She really gets my abs, sides, and legs feeling the burn and a satisfying soreness the next day. For once I really noticed my lower abs feeling sore without the back pain. It's a fun and interesting workout that I'm thrilled to continue with in hopes of toning this body of mine.

Like everyone else...

13 Jul 2007 - Kristin of California, USA writes:

I love it. I am 17 and all my life I've been struggling to lose weight. I started Turbo Jam on July 5, 2007 (after July 4 because of all the eating). And though some of you might not believe me, I saw results the first day. On the third day of using Turbo Jam, my aunt noticed a change in my body although she saw me on July 4. Turbo Jam does work. I am on the 8th day and I feel I have lost inches. So far, I've lost 5lbs. My stomach is flatter. My thighs and butt are tighter. My arms are becoming toned. I love it. I recommend it to anyone.

Good for the new exerciser, but...

8 Jul 2007 - Anonymous of Illinois, USA writes:

After using the program for several months, I can understand why there are so many positive reviews regarding Turbo Jam. It is high-energy, easy to follow, and Chalene is very enthusiastic. It is a great product for the new or intermediate exerciser. However, it could be frustrating for advanced exercisers. The choreography, even with the "elite moves," is not enough of a challenge to sustain my attention. I found that after a couple of viewings I could easily use the "music pumped up" option, since I had no need to follow Chalene's instruction. The sculpting/toning session was a disappointment--too much attention seemed to be placed on developing the shoulder area. The other toning exercises that didn't focus on shoulders weren't that interesting either. So, for advanced exercisers--more challenging workouts can be found elsewhere. For everyone else, this might be a good program for you.

Yes it does work!

27 Jun 2007 - Andrea of Virginia, USA writes:

I don't get the whole voting on who thinks I am real or fake, I just had to come on this site and share who well this series has helped me. I started WW about 6 weeks ago and have had these DVD's for about a yr. I pulled them out and began using them regularly, (I occasionally use my P90 for strength training). Either way, in 6 weeks I have only lost 7.6 lbs but I have lost 13 3/4 inches all over. I am in clothes I could not wear prior to starting, and today I am in a pair of pants that 8 weeks ago I could not pull up and now they are baggy. I would say that is progress!!! I love most of the work outs, and they keep me motivated. Good luck to you!!!

Turbo Jam

13 Jun 2007 - Natalie of North Carolina, USA writes:

I was up late one night & saw the Turbo Jam informercial on TV. I started with the 20 minute workout & worked up to the 40 min "Cardio Party" . I've always had problems with my knee's & some of the moves are a bit tough- but there are modifications you can do make them low impact (you watch different people in the video). I use this workout as well as Yoga Booty Ballet & in the last 2-3 months I've lost about 18 pounds and gone down two sizes. The moves in TJ are really intimidating at first, but it gets easier the more times you do the workout. I like the option of turning up the music so I don't have to listen to the same commentary over and over again too! Overall, TJ is a great cardio workout. I highly recommend this workout if you want great results quickly.

Great workout but knee problems

10 Jun 2007 - Sara of Alberta, Canada writes:

I have always been active,workout videos and going to the gym.I loved the turbo jam workout.My knees started to hurt when I was walking or even sitting.Did what I could of my Turbo jam workout.No longer bend down or get back up.I couldnt sleep cause the pain and I couldnt bend knee.I had a bad limp and could hardly walk anymore. Went to the hospital and was diagonosed with petelloformal.This is where a new activity can causes cartilege to wear down quickly.If continued activity the tendons will rip and knee surgery will be needed. I had to go to physio and with follow up the doctor said it was from turbo jam workout.Missed two weeks of work. Knees still hurt and I can little activities anymore.This is just a warning to other people whose knees hurt from the workout.I am not old by the way I am only 22.

After a year- it has saved my life

26 May 2007 - Meredith of Pennsylvania, USA writes:

UPDATE: This is an update of an update- but I can't say enough great things about turbo jam! Saw TJ on an infomercial last year while I was in the hospital for diabetes- Ordered it- I am now down 98 pounds-went from size 24 to 14 so far-also on weight watchers. It is fun, upbeat and after a year I am not bored. I still have about 55 pounds to lose- but I am getting there and my diabetes, high cholesterol and snoring are all gone.

I should have been more careful.

6 May 2007 - Barb of Ohio, USA writes:

I am 54 and have worked out for the last 24 years. I love this dvd except I have never had knee problems before and now my Dr. told me not to do all the lunges and kicks and twisting involving my knees. I did the diet that comes with the dvd and I really started to see unbelievable results. I was loosing weight and feeling great except for my knees. I continued doing the dvds even when my knees hurt because I wanted to burn calories and I just thought that it was muscular from doing different types of excerise. I wish had been more careful before starting this regime. I really loved it but not what happened to my knees. Be careful not to overdo it. Good Luck.
