5.0 out of 5 stars One of my absolute favorite Turbo Jam DVD!, December 11, 2006

By

This review is from: Turbo Jam: Punch Kick & Jam (DVD)

This is a wonderful high intensity workout. If you haven't tried Turbo Jam, you are in for a real workout treat! Chalene takes what might be boring punch and kick moves and turns them into exciting ab core exercises that really get you motivated and working out! This is one of my favorite workout DVD's in the Turbo collection. She has some wonderful combination moves that are great and get you pumped. I've been doing Turbo Jam for a short while but lost weight and inches (read my review on Turbo Jam Fat Blaster). This is a great workout DVD. The moves are designed to flow with your own natural movement and there is a team member on all the DVD's, Mindy, who always does the modified version for those who need a little boost. For the rest of us, these moves can be pumped higher and hotter to get the best cardio workout. If you don't know about Chalene and her infectious smile and truly inspirational workout spirit, you are missing out on a great thing! This DVD has about six minutes of warm up which starts off hot and moves into the rest of its 48 minutes (total) of hard workout. The end of the DVD has some tubular toning, just a couple of minutes or so. The tube thing is a rubber band with handles to work the deltoids and glutes (butt muscles) to tone. I think it was a way to introduce the tube idea - I'm not so crazy about it. (Producers should let her do what she does best and thats pump, punch, kick and jam). On the other hand, the tubes help you learn balance and coordination which calls for a different use of your muscles.) The DVD ends with about a three minute stretching routine. I do the tube stuff at the end as part of a cool down anyway. My only personal bias is that I wish they would have lengthened the cardio by a few minutes and dumped the tubular stuff. You will however get your total cardio workout and will feel it at the end. It's a great routine by design, it is a total workout and one of my absolute best in my collection. The DVD is about 50 minutes long in total workout time.

4.0 out of 5 stars A lot Of Fun, December 1, 2006

By 

Jan (connecticut) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Turbo Jam: Punch Kick & Jam (DVD)

I exercise a lot, every day for at least an hour. Living in New England makes it difficult to do outside activities with any sense of regularity. So I supplement my workouts with dvds and videos. I love Tae Bo kickboxing. And after I saw an infomercial on Turbo Jam I decided to try Chalene Johnson. So I bought Punch Kick and Jam online. And I'm very happy that I did. After having done Tae Bo for a good number of years I'm familiar with the moves, so it only took a couple of tries before I was in the groove with Chalene. This is pretty high energy workout. It's 50 minutes long with about 5 minutes of warming up and then right into the workout. I like that each segment is timed. Chalene has a great attitude and she's fun. Just make sure that you really listen to her for your cues cause she doesn't waste any time. But the cues ARE there. My favorite things about this dvd is that it makes for a fun sweatfest and it's really not your average aerobic workout. I highly recommend it and I will definitely buy more Turbo Jam dvds.

5.0 out of 5 stars SO. MUCH. FUN., October 13, 2007

This review is from: Turbo Jam: Punch Kick & Jam (DVD)

I have been working out rather regularly for about 5 years now and I like to alternate between the gym and using DVDs at home, which has been successful. I consider myself to be at an advanced level as far as fitness, especially with kickboxing-related workouts. I've got just about every Tae-bo video, which I love, plus a ton of others. Then I ordered this and ohh my gosh, is it so much fun and, I must admit, quite an intense cardio workout. She mixes up the choreography in such a unique way. Most workouts are so repetitive and robotic. It is very high-energy. She is a cool intructor, not annoying at all. I can see it being too difficult for a beginner - or the uncoordinated, but Im sure after a few tries anybody could pick it up. I seriously want to do this one every day. Highly recommended. Order from Amazon though - Avoid Beachbody.com at all costs.
