Overall Rating:

Retail Price: Varies based on product options

This Turbo Jam Beachbody DVD set has 5 workouts. 1) Learn and Burn 25 min), 2) 20-minute workout, 3) Turbo Sculpt(40 min), 4) Cardio Party (45 min), and 5) Ab Jam (20 min). The DVD set of two has a learn and burn segment which covers learning the 11 moves which are designed for low-impact, high cardio and high ab reduction.

Then there is a workout segment of about 15 minutes on the first burn segment. The 20 minute full workout is on the same DVD and another segment of a full turbo sculpt workout using hand weights of about 40 minutes is also included.

On the second DVD there is about an approx. 45 minute workout Cardio Party (intensity to high intensity) and then another workout program of approx 20 minutes of a crunching ab and obliques workout.

The workout is so much fun, and you don’t have to worry about the public watching you. You’re in the comfort of your own home, and she takes you through the moves. Chalene keeps the energy high, and she is having a lot of fun on the DVD, too. You do the routines everyday, you will learn them easily. They are not difficult at all.

It’s intense, challenging, and motivational. Chalene does a great job, she’s not one of those annoying instructors, who don’t workout with you while they ask you to push forward. The techniques are great and the moves flow from one to the other beautifully. Initially, it will be hard to follow but that just means you will not get bored with this DVD.

The 20 minute workout alone is worth it’s weight in gold. It is supercharged! You will be sweating and loving every single minute of it. I actually can’t wait to do it again the following day. Unbelievable but true.

What’s also great is that her sister, and fellow success stories are the participants on the DVD. This is the real deal folks. If you want to lose weight the traditional way (healthy lifestyle and fitness) this is for you. It will get you the results you crave, in just about the time you anticipated.

What the TurboJam video looks like... see the nice timer bar!

I was pretty skeptical about the TurboJam infomercial. Got this DVD in the mail, popped it in and next thing you know I’m dripping sweat. Sounds nasty I know but what a work-out! I definitively got my money’s worth.

If you never exercised before or it’s been a long time since you have, then you definitively have to do the Learn and Burn. Once you have those moves down, move on to the 20 min. workout.

So, at first, you’re just sort of stumbling around 2 steps behind, which is frustrating. With Chalene she just basically tells you as she’s going, so it’s confusing. She does inform you that it takes some getting used to so just keep trying.

My solution was to literally sit down and just watch the 2 intro routines (learn/burn and 20min workout) several times not working out

It Could Have Been a Little Better…

This is a great workout in terms of a beginner or moderatly fit person. For people who are really in shape, I think Chalene needs to come up with more advanced, challenging and longer sets.

The music is good, not great. The routines are very good, but her cues should be done before she changes up, not during or after. Until you get used to the quick changes, its difficult to follow. On one dvd her singing & comments get hard to listen to over and over again. Sometimes I wish the workouts were longer though.

Final Verdict

I like that two of the workouts are only 20 minutes long – this way I can still fit in a little cardio for those days when I’m not really feeling it. If you’re on the fence about buying this workout system, just stop thinking about it already and BUY IT. It is worth every penny.
