My Review:
So, now you know what came with the package, let me tell you what I thought about it!!
The first week was a piece of cake! I did the daily workouts along with Leslie Sansone walking dvds. The second week was ALOT tougher because the workouts went from 20 mins to 40 min workouts. I felt like I stumbled thru the second week because of the adjustment period of learning new moves and getting use to the new dvds. By the third and fourth week however, I was burning major calories and getting my groove on!! 🙂
The Learn and Burn dvd is great with learning the new moves and goes slow enough to catch on. You don’t do this dvd after the first week. The TurboSculpt dvd was awesome and I definitely felt that workout in my core when it was done. The 20 min workout was fun and easy to learn as well. The Ab jam was tough-its 10 mins of standing ab work and 10 mins of floor ab work. The floor ab work made me want to die-and its only 10 mins!! The Cardio party dvd was ALOT of fun-more than I thought it would be! I’m not a “dancy” type person-not coordinated at all, but after the second week it was easier to follow along and I burned more calories every time I did it!

What specifically I did:
I followed the TurboJam beginner daily schedule that had me working out 4-5 times a week. I also did Leslie Sansone indoor walking dvds on the days when I wanted more of a workout. I drank my Beachbody supplement called Shakeology that I mixed with water and frozen fruit every morning as my breakfast. I typically have 5 meals a day and stay under 1600 calories. I logged my food by using “MyFitnessPal” which I can access online and on my iphone. I tracked my calories and steps with my super new cool gadget called “FitBit”.  And I participated on facebook with a Beachbody TurboJam group that helped me stay accountable for the entire month with my exercising AND my nutrition! Thanks Stephanie!

My Results:
I took pictures, weighed and measured on day 1 and then again on day 28. I was very pleased with the measurements, but not as much with the weight lost. But hey-a weight loss is a loss-not a gain!  
And as a side note, losing 2 pounds this past week meant that I’m officially at a total loss of 30 pounds down since last fall!!  
So…. drumroll please…. after doing TurboJam for 28 days I lost:
3.1 pounds and a total of 8.75 inches off my chest, waist, hips, arms & thighs!!! WHOOHOO!!! 🙂 I lost 1.0 off my chest, 1.0 off my waist, 0.5 off my hips, 1.0 off my R upper arm, 0.75 off my L upper arm, 2.0 off my R thigh and 2.5 off my L thigh.
I am the most pleased with the amount of inches off my thighs! I could tell a difference in my body over the 28 days; my stomach fat was more firm and I was getting more toned and energized!!
I would definitely recommend this workout and will do it again! I also have more “advanced” TurboJam dvds that I can do in the future.
This dvd program is for anyone-I have lower back and knee problems because of my weight; and after the first week my knees didn’t bother me any more. And if you “engage your core” properly, your lower back won’t hurt either.  Chalene Johnson is a great instructor and shows modifications with every dvd! She is very peppy (not annoying!) and makes the workouts fun!! I would give this program an A+.
and hey-I’m wearing smaller jeans today, so I was able to go down another jeans size after this program-whats not to love about that??!!
