Has anyone tried this program? I saw an informercial this morning for it and it looks fun and motivating!

All the reviews I found online for it look good as well.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I am looking for a fun, motivating cardio workout for when I am fully healed.

thanks!

Looks like high impact aerobics to me. That would KILL my back and knees. Your 25 though, so you may be able to keep up with that. For me... give me yoga and let me relaxxxxxxxxxx. :scared:

LOL jenna. I love yoga!! But I have asthma and want to give my lungs a run for their money and get them in shape too! Yoga is good for breathing but I want something that is going to get me sweating like madwoman and shed this weight off of me! LOL

I am interested in that program too...

I did buy the "Slim in 6" workouts that they sold last year (same company) and I have to say that it is the best aerobics that I have ever done. You work your butt off.

I was interested in the Turbo Jam just to change up my routine and because it looked fun.

I have Turbo Jam. It's not high impact if you don't want it to be. It's very easy to make it low impact and they even have some girls doing it low impact. I really like Turbo Jam, but I have to admit I only do it when I can't get to the gym during their open hours. But it's a great workout.

Puddinpie - Is it hard to follow?? Do you have to be super coordinated to keep up with the videos? Have you seen good results with the videos?

Thanks for responding!

The 20 minute video is very easy to follow. The 45 minute video is a little more coordinated but nothing you can't get down pat within 3 workouts. But really, who cares, if you just keep moving you'll do well.

I can't say if I've seen "good results" from the videos alone. I just do them when I can't go to the gym, or on Sundays. So really, I usually only get 1-2 sessions of Turbo Jam in per week. I've seen really good results from just exercising. My calorie device that I wear tells me that Turbo Jam doesn't burn any more calories (or any fewer) than a session at the gym. So, as a backup workout, I do like it. I wouldn't enjoy doing it day after day, though. It would get boring.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
