I bought this DVD a month ago and I LOVE it. This is the fastest way to help lose weight I have ever tried. The workout starts with a short warm-up, then into a moderate cardio, and boom! A high-intensity turbo. Studies have shown that switching from high-intensity to a lower intensity throughout the workout gets much faster results. Well this is proof! I would have paid twice as much for this DVD and still thought of it as a bargain. The other DVD's she has are great too, but this one is my favorite because it gives FAST results! I lost 20 pounds last month from diet and this workout. Worth every penny!

If you think Turbo Jam is a watered down girly version of Billy Blanks, guess again! I have a master's degree in martial arts but I wanted a cardio workout that didn't remind me of the violence that martial arts has. Chalene Johnson, the developer of Turbo Jam, doesn't claim to be a martial artist. She incorporates a bit of booty and ab work with the punches and kicks in such a way that the focus is all from the core and that's where all the power comes from. This is the wonderful secret to the workouts! It's a blast. Turbo Jam is a full high intensity workout that helps melt pounds and inches off your body. I have almost all the Turbo Jam workouts and they are great! I've been doing it and in six weeks I lost pounds and inches and was able to get into my size 4 wedding dress from 10 years ago! I've continued to do the workouts and am now a consistent size zero! Turbo Jam is so fun, and Chalene's energy is so wonderful and positive, that I didn't even realize my workout time was up! When you buy a fitness DVD you are also buying the inspiration that comes from the trainer. No one does this better than Chalene!

Turbos are the highest intensity part of the workout routine. In this high intensity DVD, Fat Blaster, it is nothing but the Turbos! Wave after wave of Turbos which build intensity as the workout continues, until the last turbo which is a little less intense than the middle turbos. The DVD is about 30 minutes which a very quick warm up and cool down. All the action is in the middle. Because the Turbo Jam moves grove to your own fitness level, you can crank them up or bring them down according to your own level and coordination. I give it a five star with the reservation that I wish it were longer!

I love love love this video!!! I have only been using it for 4 days but it is fantastic! This video is something I can stick with because of Chalene's high energy and upbeat personality, she gets me smiling and enjoying the workout every time. I feel like after the workout I have sweat more than any other workout and I have more energy during the day. It has everything you want in a great a workout, I think my favorite is the cool down where I am forced to stretch (something sometimes overlooked when working out on your own) causing little pain in my muscles afterwards.
Be warned though, this workout is hard and it will push you. It also takes a few times to learn the routine, but stick with it and turbo jam to a healthier you! :)

My best friend turned me on to turbo jam. She told me how mush she loves doing it. She told me she loves doing it, actually looks forward to it. (PS my friend's body looks incredible)Well you know what it's true! It's all true! Chalene is so much fun, following her is like working out with your really good friend. And you want to come back and do it again to get all your steps right. For those who say the cuing is bad, she doesn't give the most exact cues but don't whine about it. do the tape get the steps down! And for those who say they do not break a sweat must not doing turbo jam or merely watching the tapes. I sweat, I love it. It works, I love it. It's fun, I love it. GET THIS DVD!!

This one is packed with the Warmup and 4 Turbo's compiled from other Turbo Jam workouts! You do each one in slow/learning mode, and then you repeat it in turbo mode. And, since your going from low impact to high and then back to low then to high, it revs your metabolism. I know that another review said that the que's are terrible, but they are there. Plus, these workouts are meant to be done a few times a week, and since you will learn the routine and get more used to it, you would eventually tune the ques out anyways and just have fun with the work out. I would definately reccomend this one to any one wanting to add to their Turbo Jam collection.

I already have a few Turbo Jam dvds but this one is the best. It is jam packed with Turbos. If you are addicted to Turbo jam, like me, this is a MUST HAVE. I have tons of energy when I am done doing this workout. I love turbo jam!!!!!!

This is a very good dvd in the Chalene Johnson series. I already had the Cardio Party 1 but was looking for something a bit more challenging. This dvd pushes you a little bit more with its relatively fast beat and lasts only 30mn for days when you're a little bit too short on time to do the whole Cardio Party. A very good buy!

This one is a very intense video. It contains 4 turbos, but luckily Chalene and crew walk you through them first. But it's 30 minutes of full-body, sweat 'till you drop workout! Great workout!! Yes, the "teaching sessions" are a little dull, but once you know what you are doing, you can add intensity to those and end up with a great workout! I recommend this to someone who likes to sweat and get the workout done quickly, but still wants results.

If you are getting in shape for a wedding or other special occassion buy this DVD. I own almost every Turbo Jam dvd. Fat Blaster is one of my favorites. If you're looking for a fun, effective, intreval workout this is for you. The workout last 30 minutes (with a wonderful warm up and cool down)and you will sweat! It's so much fun it feels like 15 mins and you'll want to do it again. This is a very high energy workout but includes low intensity demonstrations for those new to TJ or for those who may have weak knees. The cardio sect of the workout consists of 4 turbos (1.5-2.0 mins of high energy cardio)!! That's right 4 but do not be intimidated to try this out! Chalene does a slow version (walk through) followed by the same turbo at full speed. Many of the turbos are taken from her other workouts so if you're familiar with those you should have no problem. If this is the first video you try take it slow and get used to the moves. Chalene says this is to be used only for special occasions---but I find putting it into your rotation will help bust through any platueas. Anytime I want to have fun, feel accomplished and get a really good quick workout I grab my gloves and go. (you know it's really fun when your 5 year old asks if you're going to do the pink tj so she can try to do it with you) Happy turboing!!

I've been using other Turbo Jam tapes for awhile now, but just LOVE this one! It's exactly what every workout routine needs. It's HIIT which really helps break plateau's, in fact it broke mine, and is just 30 minute's. The moves are easy enough to follow even for someone who's never tried Turbo Jam before. There are 4 turbo's, which are the high interval intensity, but each of the 4 begin with a lower impact version of what's to come. So you learn the moves slow, than rev it up for the fat blasting impact! Great,great tape!
