Fight of my life

infomercials….  watched any lately?  I don’t know what got into us but we were into the wee hours Sunday morning and stumbled onto Chalene Johnson’s infomercial for Turbo Jam.  Have any of you tried her DVD’s? 

Normally, I am not impressed with the equipment, the instructors, or the infomercials in and of themselves.  I must confess I tried a Billy Blanks Tae Bo tape in college and liked his workout but well you know… life happened.  Not to mention I tend to rebell against organized workouts (i.e. gym classes). 

I’m digressing… The women in the infomercial all have rockin’ hot bodies!  I want a rockin’ hot body!  I know all infomercials use rockin’ hot babes but seriously…  What piqued my interest even more than the hot bod’s, was my hubby uttering the following words:  ”Now that’s a workout I would actually do.”  Followed with him turning to face me and saying “We could set it up in our garage.  We could just pull the cars out for the workouts, buy a cheap DVD player, get a new set of abs - after all this tummy of mine could use a little re-shapin’!”  This coming from the man that tells me to be careful when I pinch or smack his bum, as his buns of steel just might hurt my hand. 

I almost dialed the phone number then and there… but then I gathered my sanity again and decided to research it.   Have you tried her workouts and if so what do you think of them?

I would love to be able to workout with my hubby on a regular basis!  I am thinking that if he’s serious this might be a great option for us and having a workout partner is always more motivating.  So tell me what do you think!

    Hey Bret,
    First of all I just read your “about” page and I must say I love your sense of humor! Your bankers butt comment had me just rollin’! Next…I don’t have a review of the exercise DVD you are talking about… But personally, if my hubby was willing to exercise with me, I’d pick up the phone and dial immediately! Mine doesn’t think his physique needs any improvments! lol So I’d say “go for it” and keep us posted!

    I, too, got completely sucked into that same infomercial and I bought the DVD! haha…BUT I actually really love it! There are several different workouts - 5 to be exact and depending on how much time I have depends on which one I do. The 20 minute workout has gotten me through on several occassions and I always work up a sweat! The “Learn and Burn” was very informative and taught me the proper techniques/moves/etc. And then of course Ab Jam is wonderful. Unfortunately, I had a minor injury set back (not related to the DVDs) and I haven’t been able to use the DVD in months so I don’t have much to show for them anymore but I can tell you I really like them!

    Hi there,

    I saw the same infomercial you saw and ordered the DVDs online. I just did the one DVD tonight and I really liked it. It also seemed easy to follow. I would recommend trying it.
