Review
Summary |
Staying fit should be a priority, but many people have schedules that prevent them from taking regular trips to the gym. This is no excuse to stop working out though—there is a huge market of at-home fitness products that are made to suit the needs of such busy individuals. Exercise DVDs, like Turbo Jam, provide you with the benefits of an exercise class within the privacy of your own home.
Turbo Jam is hosted by Chalene Johnson, who blends dance moves, kickboxing, and high-intensity aerobics into sessions that are under an hour yet are purported to have lasting results. |
| Program At A Glance |
|
The Turbo Jam workouts have gained popularity for the high energy and hip music that they entail, but it has achieved some of its fame from a nationwide television campaign. The Turbo Jam workout has been proven to burn more than 700 calories every forty-five minutes and the workout revolves around Chalene’s eleven signature core moves called the Elite 11. When one purchases the workouts, either on three DVDs or six VHS tapes, there are instructional cards included that teach about the Elite 11. Other things included with purchase are as follows: 24/7 online support which includes access to chats with Chalene, an online support community, and diet advice, a step-by-step guidebook that features Chalene’s weight loss meal plan, daily workout calendar, and a dining out guide, Turbo sculpting gloves and a workout that emphasizes their benefits, and the Turbo Slim Rapid Results program that features meal plans and measurement tools to help people to lose ten inches in ten workouts.

| Positives |
|
• The price for all of the Turbo Jam workouts and the accompanying gifts is quite reasonable, and there is a good return policy
• The workouts are very high energy and the music has been carefully chosen to play a key role in the workout
• Not only is an exercise routine presented in Turbo Jam, but there is plenty of attention paid to a nutritious diet and the use of helpful weight loss tools such as journaling and taking body measurements
|
| Negatives |
• The program may produce a fantastic body, but one is going to have to work to achieve it because the routines are extremely high energy
• The advertising does not state how many days a week the routines must be done, not for what length of time
• There is mention of a meal plan that has been developed or used by Ms. Johnson, but there are no clues as to how realistic a meal plan it is for people on the go or people with families to feed
• Their customers do not like them at all and have negative things to say about their experiences. Click here to read a popular Turbo Jam Blog.

| Final Thoughts |
|
Even people who are not specifically looking for an exercise routine will likely be inspired by the Turbo Jam workouts. The video demonstrations make it clear that the Elite 11 moves are indeed working out many areas of the body and that a slim and toned body will be the result of using the workouts regularly. The average person will want to learn more about how much of each day is supposed to go into getting this new body, but even using the workouts to meet the thirty minutes of cardio that is recommended five times per week by health professionals should prove to be effective to some degree.
