Book Reviews of Turbo Jam Beachbody 5 Rockin' Workouts
Book Review: The only thing I've been able to stick with!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a 38 year-old female and have been using Turbo Jam as my exercise routine for the past 3-4 months and the results are definitely what's motivated me to keep going. I will admit that I was a bit intimidated at first, only because I felt like a total spaz. I stuck with it and picked up the routine of each workout around the 3rd time.
CARDIO FITNESS LEVEL: When I first began, I could not even make it through the 20 minute routine without stopping, but gradually I would do 50% low impact and 50% high until I increased to totally high impact. I always used the weighted gloves that were included with the set. I've recently switched to 3lb weighted gloves and the sweat has increased. As promised, the more you do the cardio, the quicker your recovery time. I remember wondering if I would ever make it through the "TURBO" portion of the workout, and then when I finally did, if I would ever recover to finish the rest of the workout. Again, just stick with it.
STRENGTH LEVEL: I love, love, love the strength training portion of this - Turbo Sculpt. I've always been strong, just not very fit. I was able to begin with 5 lb weights for a good workout. My biggest challenge was completing the lateral raises during the 2nd portion of the video. Once I was able to complete the workout comfortably, I switched to heavier weights. I am now working with 8lb weights. I enjoy this portion so much I am seriously checking out the Chalean Extreme series that Chalene Johnson has put out. I can do the Turbo Sculpt alone, but for an even greater workout, I'll do the 20 min. workout (without the cool down) and then switch to the Turbo Sculpt (without the warmup). When I combine the two, my heart rate stays up and I pour sweat.
ABS: The Turbo Sculpt has an ab portion at the end and there is also a whole workout (Ab Jam) devoted to abs. Ab Jam has 10 minute standing work and 10 minutes on the floor. All your cardio routines have some portions of that really work your core which works your abs as well. I've had three kids and have some serious stretched out skin in the abdominal area. I wish to have a six pack, but the reality is, I can work my abs all I want but until I have a tummy tuck to remove said excess skin, the results will be nothing worth showing off. That said, I still do the standing portion of Ab Jam but not the floor work, as I detest floor work. I do see definition in my sides (obliques?) by just doing that.
WEIGHT LOSS: I was disappointed when my scales didn't show the weight just flying off of me. In fact, the whole first month I gained weight. I did however notice the waist of my pants getting more and more loose. Two months in, I had lost 13 lbs and I've now probably closer to 19 lbs, but I have had to quit looking at the scale and measure by my clothing size. When you begin, you start building muscle which adds pounds (muscle weighs more than fat), but muscle is a must if you want to burn calories. Also, anytime I switched to heavier weights, the weight loss would either slow down or go up. My arms look awesome - major definition in my shoulders, arms and back. My legs began tightening up and are now showing definition. Core and glutes are def. toned.
When I first began, I didn't watch my diet as much. Once your drenched in sweat day after day from working out, you really begin to evaluate what you put in your mouth. It's like, "I'm sweating my butt off for this?" It's like the exercise and cutting back went hand in hand. Once I started regularly putting for the effort to work out, I put forth the effort, to push away from the table. I've also quit drinking any carbonated beverage except one diet soda per week.
When I began, I was bursting out of a size 14. I'm a tall, athletically built girl anyway, but I was really sick with myself for getting this bad overweight. Of course, a sickness that included 3 rounds of steroids orally and w/shots didn't help any. I am just now getting into a size 10. They're still a little snug, but by golly, I can button the button! I've always felt comfortable when size 10's fit well, but I think I'm gonna go for 8's before trying to maintain.
ROUTINE: I work out 6 days a week. I combine the 20 min workout w/Turbo Sculpt on Mon/Wed/Fri. The other days is one of the cardio workouts (I really like the Punch, Kick, Jam) and rest on Sunday.
OVERALL: I really like this product and have suggested it to many of my friends. The instructor is great - perky, encouraging but not over-the-top. I love the countdown timer. For some reason, when you see the end in sight, you manage to keep going. The members of her team on not super-model wanna-be's, they're real people of all different shapes and ages. THE MUSIC IS GREAT! I love the music in this series. It's some you probably know (the roof is on fire - I'm gonna knock you out, mama said knock you out), sung by different people, but still very upbeat that makes you want to move. I hate the MUSAK crap you get with other sets. There is an option where you can play the music pumped up, that is where you can here the music louder than you can hear the instructor. I know the routines well enough that I now choose this option. I have bought some other of her cardio routines to mix it up some.
