Turbo Jam: 3T May 29, 2009
By Danie'
I thought this was a nice compliment to the Turbo Jam cardio workouts. I actually prefer it to Turbo Sculpt from the first Turbo Jam workout set--cueing was a bit better, moves seem to be a bit more thought out, etc. I also had a proper sweat going on so I was glad that this workout can really get the heart pumping. While Chalene is still her cute and bubbly self, I did find this one a slightly dull (this observation could spring from my personal prejudice against resistance training so you'll have to be your own judge in this area).
The workout is a bit over 30 minutes and can be done with resistance tubing or free weights (a few of the participants actually use them in the video). While I didn't find the tubing difficult to work with or anything, I personally prefer to use weights. I usually do strength training starting off with 5 lbs weights so I felt that the workout was more effective this way. Chalene suggests that this workout can be also done without tubing or weights but by "using your own resistance."
Warm-Up:
4 min warm-up: toe taps, punches, squats, stretches
Workout:
The majority of these exercises start out in half time, then goes to "singles," ending in pulses then repeated on the opposite side of your body:
5 min "Biceps & Outer Thighs": biceps curls, angled bicep curls, outer thigh raises to the side and to the back
6 min "Shoulder & Thighs": lateral raises, lunges, lunges with extensions---One crazy twist to one set of the lunges? You go down, hold the down position then raise up sloooowly--ouch! but in a good way ;)
5 min "Triceps & Glutes": Tricep extensions, tricep kickbacks, tricep straight-arm pulses (double ouch!!), squats
3 min "Back & Outer Thighs": rows, more outer thigh exercises
5 min "Abs": Various floor exercises (a few will be familiar to you if you own Ab Jam): Side bends, plank with leg extensions, push-ups
Cool Down:
3 min "Post-Strength Stretch": Quad stretch, "bow", "child's pose", etc.

Great strength training workout Mar 25, 2008
By Dominique W
This is an excellent workout using tubing as resistance. The tubing is not necessary and there are others in the video to follow for non-tubing modifications.
The workout is quick, 30 minutes, and the time goes by fast. If you are looking for something to bump up your Turbo Jam experience, this is it. The more muscle contraction/squeezing you do while performing the exercises, the better results you will see.

 A little disappointed Feb 09, 2011
By CuddlyKittyMTU
I really LOVE Turbo Jam and I wanted to love this workout. However, I found this one to go against all of the things I really love about the Turbo Jam franchise: great music, fun moves and exercises that really work my muscles. This video, in my humble opinion, was boring and I felt that the bands didn't give me anywhere near the upper body workout I could've gotten using weights, such as in Turbo Sculpt. I'd recommend either Turbo Sculpt, Lower Body Jam (which is AWESOME for legs) or 10-Minute Solutions Sculpting instead.

 Wowy Turbo Jam Nov 10, 2008

Chanlene once again has killer music to workout to and tough but easy to learn and follow moves. You don't just have to have the tube to workout with you can also use free weights as well. You get upper and lower body workout. I recomend with product for a toning workout!

Better than I had expected! Dec 02, 2008
By Mrs_4ever_After
I did this DVD for the first time today and really enjoyed it! It was 30 minutes well spent! At first I had expected to get a good workout, but instead I got a calorie-killing resistance training session! This DVD, like all the TJ DVDs, have ppl showing modifications to make the moves easier or more difficult. I thought that bc I am used to weight training with heavier weights, I would use a heavy/extra heavy band. I made it through with this band, but will be using my Medium strength band next time! Lots of compound moves to make your workout time more effective and it helps to increase the Heart Rate. I likd it a lot! So far, I am really impressed with Turbo Jam!
