i am so thrilled that you like TJ darcy! i figured that you would since

you like taebo so much

i have the TJ lower body workout set up to do tomorrow. can anyone tell

me how the band is used? i havent taken it out of the package yet but is

it a strip of band or is it circular? if it is just a straight length

then is one supposed to tie the band around the ankles? does it take a lot

of fiddling with to get it right? i think that i read that donna said

that she needed to make hers tighter next time. i hope that i dont have

to fart around with it too much to get it right, that would be a drag.

I haven't seen Tae-Bo Hip-Hop one yet. I'm still marveling over Yoga

Booty Ballet. I've seen that infomercial like 10 times with the sound

off and I always stare in amazement at everybody wiggling and flapping

their arms. I guess maybe it would make more sense if I turned the

volume up but I can't bring myself.

Yep, Booty Ballet is another one. You didn't miss much with the

volume down.

Have you also heard of Zumba? It combines latin dancing with

aerobics? The creators of that program, actually offer

Zumba " certification " for instructors. *sigh*

Good old fashion basic exercises have worked for years. Yet people

feel the need to pay money for all these new videos. Wouldn't it be

easier to stick with what works, and just go out dancing on the

weekends for a little hip hop or latin dancing? lol

I dunno, I suppose if it gets people to moving it's not completely

in vain, and the creators make a little money in the process. Nel

Elaine,

I take a spinning class M and F after weights and I do

HIIT on T,Th,and Sat.

I saw the infomercial for Turbo Jam. I want it! How do

you like it? Is it similar to TaeBo?

Hi !

I don't wear a HRM or otherwise calculate calories

expended, but I'm guessing that how many calories you

burn is very individual and depends on your body

weight for one thing - so a person who weighs more

will burn more calories than a person who weighs less

- my DH who is much bigger than me, might possibly get

that much of a burn out of these.... I suppose it is

possible to achieve that kind of calorie burn, but I

doubt I ever have and from the TJ workouts that I have

done, I don't see how it could be done w/ those

workouts - to me, they seem to be solid intermediate

level workouts - though Kathy reports that the new

ones are harder. I agree, they should just say it is

a fun activity that burns calories, but I guess

plugging in a huge number like that gets more people

to buy!!! It is also sort of misleading, b/c not

everyone knows that many things go into how many

calories an individual will burn during a particular

activity and someone may buy these, workout, and think

they burned 700 calories and then go splurge on a

piece of cake and wonder why they aren't losing

weight!

In any event, these are fun workouts -- they

definately have much more " fun factor " than 's

Bootcamp! The ab work on the ab jam is tough,but it

has a standing and lying portion, so if the lying down

ab work hurts your neck or back you could just stick

with the standing work. I have never done 's

Bootcamp Abs, mostly b/c I hate to focus a whole

workout on my abs unless it is Pilates - and I have

heard complaints about it that are similar to yours

and that just makes me not want to try it. But, to me

the TJ abs workout is doable and it is only 20 min,

and easily split up. The other TJ workouts I have

done are fun, as I said, definately more fun than

's Bootcamp!! They have a bit more of a dancey

feel and are not quite as " serious " I think you'd

enjoy them!

Good luck deciding!

Welcome, Kim! I don't know much about Jazzercise,

although I believe they do or did have videos at one

point. I do have Turbo Jam and it is quite a bit of

fun, high energy, and you can do everything low

impact. There are two background exercisers who

modify all the high impact (and there really isn't all

that much - that is one thing I like about kickboxing

- you can get some good intensity without too much

impact!)

Hope you post often!

Welcome!

In the infomercial package she has 2 folks showing low impact moves, so you don't have to do all the bouncing stuff.

The only place you can get them online right now is at the beachbody website which can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/8au73 I know they got rid of a lot of the discount codes so I'm not sure which ones if any work any longer, this one might still work SERTTJ. Also, if you go to www.ebates.com and then choose beachbody from their stores list and go to the beachbody site that way you get 15% cash back. They credit your account with them and then send you a check or to Paypal quarterly.

Hi kim!!! welcome to the group!

high energy, yes! and any medium/high impact moves can be done as

no/low impact and this is demonstrated by the background exercisers.

the cardio parties are really fun, especially if you have

experience with kickboxing workouts. if not then you should get the

intro package with the instructional ('learn') and shorter workouts

(15 min 'burn' and 20 min workout).

the only issue that i had with TJ was that it made my lower back

sore. ive been doing kickboxing workouts for years so i know it

wasnt due to bad form... but actually the pain came from doing the TJ

'tuck'. it seems that im susceptible to injury in the lower back

anyway, so im careful to not over-do that tucking action, or i just

dont do it at all.

> Also, does anyone know where I can purchase

> online at a discount?

beachbody.com is the only place that you can buy TJ workouts at

retail prices. you can also look on ebay but you really need to be

careful of people selling pirated copies for low prices on there.

as someone else mentioned, you can sign up for an account at

ebates.com ... not only will they give you a $5 signup bonus, they

will rebate you %15 of your purchase at beachbody. beachbody used to

have a bunch of discount codes but i have no idea now which ones work

and which dont.

Ricki, Turbo Jam ROCKS! You can make it as high or low impact as you like! I teach the gym version, Turbo Kick, and because of the toe injury will demonstrate high impact options a few times but do most of the workout low impact after that. Just do what feels right for you and HAVE FUN! You'll still get a great workout and burn calories doing it low impact, and usually Mindy of the Turbo Jam gang shows the low impact options and you can always follow her

hi ricki !

mixed impact. i do the higher impact stuff (jumps, running, jacks

and all of the fast 'turbo' sections) on the rebounder. there is a

low/no impact modifier shown in all of the workouts though (mindy).

Hi,

enough to see results. But will keep you posted. I do love

them so far!

Welcome and congratulations on your weight loss! There are people here who LOVE TJ and others (me included) who don't like it much. I am choreographically-impaired so anything that involves dance and/or combinations tends to elude me unless it is extremely simple. TJ's music is very fun and Chalene is great. I like kickboxing but not the way it is put together in TJ. I also can't do the "tuck" she wants you to do all the time because it hurts my back. All that said, TJ has tons of very enthusiastic supporters. I think of it though as cardio, not toning but maybe I don't know enough about it because I didn't even get past her Learn & Burn workout. Others who know more will probably chime in soon. Good luck to you in any case and please let us know how it or other workouts are for you!

if its resistance/toning work karen voight,kathy smith, amy bento, cathe friedrich, and denise austin have been staples in my collection. not sure what kind you are looking for. karen and denise work with lighter weights,faster movements and shorter works while kathy you can go more moderate. she has several different types of workouts as well pilates inspired, circiut training, or straight set workouts. amy and cathe do more straight set strenght training working one body part at a time for so many sets and it can be a total body workout, upper/lower only workout or one body part a day workout. if you check out collagevideo.com you can search toning only dvds and what level you want and even go by what equipment you have or willinging to buy for a workout.
