Turbo Jam

So, I own a zillion workout videos. Okay, not a zillion, more like 28 workout videos/DVDs. I've been doing workout videos for about as long as I can remember. I've never LOVED anything enough to stick with it though for more than a week or 2 at a time. I've owned lots of workout equipment too. Treadmills, bikes, gliders, weights, mats, a body ball, ab machines, resistance bands, you get the picture. I've also had a few gym memberships that never panned out for me. I shudder to think of all the money I've thrown away on trying to lose weight. Oh and the workout equipment expenses don't even include all the money I've thrown away on diet pills, healthy food that never got eaten (especially fresh produce that would always go bad before I ate it), unhealthy food that I'd throw away because I wanted to "start dieting" again. I've just been so wasteful! I'm ashamed to think of how rich I could be if I had lumped all of that wasted money into a savings account instead of blowing it.

However, it's all worth it if it meant finding the one workout that motivates like none other.
TURBO JAM


Chalene Johnson, the instructor and creator of Turbo Jam, is in one word, insane. Her pumped up energy and positive enthusiasm are outrageously contagious. She motivates and inspires like no one else ever has. The workouts are addictive and BELIEVE ME, they work! Do just one workout, even one of the shorter ones, and you will feel it tomorrow. I currently own 8 out of MANY turbo jam workouts and can't wait to own them all. Not because I get tired of any of them, but because they are just so addictive I want to use them all. I alternate them daily and each day I surprise myself with how much more my body can do than it could before.

These workouts help me stay active and they inspire me in the kitchen too. After working out so great, I can't fathom blowing it with junk food. I am inspired to eat to fuel my body for my next workout, because I know, I'll need all the energy I can get. Just this morning, I did the Fat Blaster workout, which is a super charged 30 minute interval workout, during which I drank an entire liter of water. There it is, half my daily water requirement, fulfilled! I LOVE Turbo Jam and when I finally reach my goals, I know I will be forever indebted to Chalene for inspiring me to keep going through the whole journey.
