working fullitme with 5 year old twins doesn't leave me time for a gym. I have lost the last 10 lbs of my pregnancy weight doing the 20 min workout. I do it every day and don't ever want to stop.

I have been using TJ for 3 yrs. From February 2008 thru May 2009 (with daily use), I lost 87 lbs. with TJ. Like I have written in a previous site TJ works. My husband is now working out with me and he enjoys the post-workout feel he gets. I ate what I wanted but in moderation and did TJ daily sometimes 2x a day. Trust me TJ works.

I borrowed 2 turbo jam dvd's from a friend. I have had and used them for 2 weeks. I love the Turbo Jam Cardio mix, my back and sides were sore for the first 2 work outs. The soreness has subsided and I am jammin. I work up a sweat and feel so good after working my body. I also borrowed the AB Jam and I do like that But I love the fast paced kick, punch, dance, and sweat of the Cardio Jam! Cardio Jam works the entire body and it is fun.

I can see why people like this so much (fun music for a workout dvd, good results) but I did it for a week and have such a sore back today that I won't do the program again, which means I wasted $70--I think these workout dvds really should have warnings on them about the back issues, and joint issues, that can results from this type of workout. If you're young, go for it. If you're older or have back issue, skip it.

I've been doing Turbo Jam for two days now, and my lower back is killing me! Has anyone else had this problem? I thought I was doing it right, but i can't tell if I'm just sore from doing the workout, or if I'm doing something seriously wrong. any help?

I just purchased Turbo Jam and I really like it! After the first five minutes I have already worked up a good sweat! I recently had a baby seven months ago, and I'm trying to become more healthy, both in my lifestyle and my diet as well! I've only been using it for five days and I feel really good! I like the ten day slim program and the eating plan, because everything is so easy to prepare! I'm not a good cook, so the simple meals are really nice! Well, I hope that everybody else that trys Turbo Jam enjoys it as much as I do. My boyfriend even tried it, and it was a good laugh watching him being goofy trying to show off! He had sweat dripping of him too, lol!

We ordered Turbo because of the guarantee. We weren't too sure if we would "stick" with it or not. We ended up loving it and have used it nearly everyday for over a year.! I loved the diet plan most of all. We were eating fairly healthy before, but the variety of foods and super-easy recipes were motivating enough to make us change our lifestyle completely. This is not a weight loss plan or work-out, this is GET HEALTHY NOW 101. Charlene is a genius. Get this program...you have NOTHING to lose but fat.

I have been trying to lose weight for the last 5 years. So far, Turbo Jam is the ONLY workout that is giving me results. It is truly amazing! It's fun, and although some moves are a bit difficult, you can still get through them and feel powerful and strong. Best at-home workout....hands down.

Turbo jam is a lot of fun i defiinitly recommend it for those who have tried everything and nothing works. It is easy to follow and the music and her enthusiasm makes you want to do it everyday. I have tried other video workouts like the Firm, and can tell the difference of how much more fun Turbo Jam is and easier to complete.

Ok- I saw TJ from an infomercial last May when I was in the hospital for diabetes. I ordered it- thinking that it would sit and collect dust. I was hooked the first day. Now I am nearly 80 pounds smaller! I love it because of the music, because of the moves- they make you feel powerful, and because of Chalene- she's so positive and has such high energy! Not only have I lost 80 pounds- but I am completely off of all medication and no longer snore- and my labs came back as normal. I workout every day and if I miss a day- it makes me happy! Chalene tells us that working out can be like a party- it doesn't have to be torture- and that is so true. Give it a shot! The weight I am now, I was 6 years ago, but now I am a size smaller and have way more endurance- and I credit turbo jam for that!

I absolutely LOVE Turbo Jam! I have done many workouts in the past, but this one really hits the spot. I have only tried Cardio Party 1 and 2, and actually find 1 to be more effetive. Either way, Turbo Jam rocks!! Very addictive and makes you feel great!

This video is so much fun. Definitely my kind of work out, lots of sweat, lots of beats and it is just full of excitement and so energetic. I really looking forward to her future Turbo Jam workouts, can't wait.

I used to workout a lot, then I had a baby and now I'm trying to shed those extra "baby fat" pounds. The workout can be okay, but you really have to be in a high energy, workout mood to get into it. Some of the moves can hurt my back and knees. There is alot of twisting. Maybe I'm not doing them quite right, but the fact that it can hurt bothers me. I probably won't return the Turbo Jam, because it is a different workout to break up the monotany of running, but I wouldn't have bought it had I known what it was like. I would recommend trying another workout like Tae Bo before using this one. Oh, and the music isn't any different or better than any other workout video!

After seeing the infomercial I ordered the Turbo Jam tapes which were advertised for 3 payments of $19.95 + SH. I declined all the extra vitamines, etc. Instead of $19.95 I was billed $52 and told that I had been sent the deluxe package and total would be $139 not $72.80. As I had not approved I cancelled the order and was told I had to wait until the package arrived and call back for a return authorization #. I then needed to call back with a tracking number once the package was returned and they would give a refund. It's been a month and no refund. Each time I call, I am told to wait 7-10 business days. Each time I call back I'm told the request for the refund was processed on the day I called prior to that call. $52 is not a lot of money, however, this was bad business from the very beginning. How many other people have been taken advantage of by this company?

Turbo Jam is awesome. If you are familiar with Boot Box, Body Jam and Body Combat, then Turbo Jam is just as good. I have lots of fun when I am not doing classes at the gym. The music is what get me into the mood. I particularly like the variety of moves and how it caters for all stages in your fitness. I recently lent it to my friend and she just lost the pounds. Fantastic

I heard rave reviews about Turbo Jam, so I decided to give a jam. I am not much of an exercise person but love music. The music is great and the funny thing it really made me get into the fitness thing. I been using it for 2months now and I have shed over 30 pounds. What a change!
