Do you guys have room for another TJ addict?

I've been doing TJ (I only own Cardio Party 1 Series) for close to two years. I try to do Cardio Party twice a week, Ab Jam twice a week; and Turbo Sculpt, I alternate with a few other weight workouts I do, so maybe only once every 10-12 days in the rotation.

I recently added "weighted gloves," but I, like somebody else said, thought the ones on TJ site were too $, plus shipping, so I bought 1-lb wrist weights and wrap them around my palms. Works just as well.

The first time I didn't use them all the way through CP, but I noticed the last time I did CP, the following morning I was feeling DOMS in my shoulders and was at first confused as to why (I hadn't done my UB routine for a few days), then I remembered: I had used the weights throughout all of CP the day before! So YES, IT IS A GREAT UB surge in addition to the kick-butt cardio.

I may follow along on the thread with you guys.

I did the practice one where you learn the moves and then the 20 min workout

Im going to clear all the furniture and breakables out of the way now and attempt day 2
LOL
if you hear a loud thud....its me falling in NY!

[thisisrightnow]

I don't think I've ever fell, but there were times where I was trying to do the knees and I just completely lost my balance and managed to stumble. You will most definitely get better. I started doing TJ in the summer for a couple months and repicked it up so I've been doing it for almost 6 months and my balance and coordination is so good.

Just did another Burn segment!!
This time was much more effective I'm not sure why, I felt my heart rate much more (it felt GOOD!)
Tomorrow I think I'll attempt the 20minute workout Fingers crossed I do ago!
I shall report in tomorrow

[yellowrose]

I'm still at 3 lbs, I need to increase mine, great workout!

[sbaquera78]

Twyla, I just tried the weighted gloves last night. Wow! I agree the workout was really felt, but I liked the increase.

Lisa, thanks for the encouragement. I hope to have time when the little one takes a nap to do the abs,too. You go girl!!

Awww, thanks!

How old is your little one? My Son's in school so I am pretty free to do the workouts anytime.

[thisisrightnow]

I am doing Cardio Party Mix 2 today. I love that one. I will never look back on Mix 1, I detest it. I just don't like it at all for some reason.

[sbaquera78]

Lisa, my son is three. He loves to work out with me. It is very funny to watch I did make time for the abs today, think I will do cardio party.

How many different Turbo jams are there? I hace the one where it says turbo sculpt,ab jam, cardio party, and the 20 minute.

I don't have the Mix 2 but I've heard people say good things about it.

Oh how sweet, that's such a cute age!

Good for you on the abs!!

I have all the ones you just posted but that's all I have, not the Mix 2 or 3, I need to get those to change things up. On Fridays I usually do the 20 minute workout plus the sculpt workout, the other days it's the Mix 1 and abs.

[thisisrightnow]

Haha there are LOOOOTS.

I have Cardio Party Mix 1 & 2, Ab Jam, 20 Minute Workout, Learn and Burn, Turbo Sculpt, Fat Blaster, Lower Body Jam, 3T: Totally Tubular Turbo and I think that's it. There's more though. I also want the ball workouts with the ball.

Dang girl, you have it all!

[thisisrightnow]

Haha yeah, now how often I actually do most of them? That's another story. I mostly just do Fat Blaster, Cardio Party Mix 2 and 20 Minute Workout and Ab Jam when I can remember I have it. Although eventually I would like to start incorporating Turbo Sculpt and Lower Body Jam back into my routine. 3T is also a good one that uses the resistance bands. I basically just like to have them all there for if I would ever need them and/or get bored of my current routine, but I absolutely love Cardio Party Mix 2, Fat Blaster and 20 Minute workout.

[PrincessNutznBoltz]

Ok, I did the 20 minute workout
OMG!!!!!!!! It was THE BEST 20 mins of my day! Burn was fun, but I couldn't really see what everyone was raving about. But now...It made me ENJOY sweating!

I'M A BELIEVER!!!

I'm about to start Party Mix 1 and I'm wearing the gloves today!

[sbaquera78]

I did cardio party with the weighted gloves today...wowzer! I am beat, but in a good way
Laura, Would you recommend the fat blaster? I would like something different than what I am doing now.

[yellowrose]

Yeah, the gloves make a lot of differance.

[sbaquera78]

I have had the gloves for awhile, but I actually forgot about them till someone mentioned using them. Guess it is a move up now. Hope to have time for ab jam this afternoon.

[yellowrose]

I only did the abs where you lay down today since I'd done the Party Mix 1 right before.

ABSOLUTELY! I find that it really boosts my weight loss. It's interval training so she does 4 turbos x2 (low intensity where you learn the routine, then again high intensity and each interval is a minute and a half I believe, or 2 mins) and it really gets your heart going. She recommends to do it only when you need to burn a lot of calories. I generally do it about once a week and when I do it, I also do the 20 minute workout. But I have found in trends from the past couple times I've done it like that, I can expect about a 2 pound loss the next day providing my eating wasn't crappy.

[happydog]

Today I did the 20 min. workout again. I think I nearly have it "down" now, although I still cannot do the entire thing wearing the 1 lb gloves. I was happy to read here that other newbies are catching on as well... we will learn this together, eh? (Without breaking too many objects in the living room, haha.)

Can anyone tell me the difference between the "cardio party" workout, and the "punch, kick & jam" one?

Thanks!
Michelle

[sbaquera78]

Thanks Laura. It sounds like a good change up. Definitly ordering it.

[thisisrightnow]

Punch, Kick and Jam is a workout with the gloves, but you d
