Turbo Jam gets repititve. The key is to challenge yourself more all the time. My ideas? Try to do 200 minutes of cardio a week. Remember fat does not turn into muscle, so you need to lose your fat while putting on muscle. Work hard, but don't over 60 minutes at a time. Do planks and other abs exercises on alternate days.
On training days, do 5-10 minutes of cardio to warm up, then do your weight training. Do 30 to 60 minutes more of cardio, then go home.
The best time to eat is just after your workout within an hour when your metabolism is raging. For your muscles, incorporate some isolated soy protein or whey protein. Whey is more potent but the soy tastes better!
Don't look at your scale as the be all and end all, but get a measuring tape to check your progress, and that will show more tangible results.
Read magazines like Shape, Womens Fitness, Fitness, etc to get tips and to stay motivated.
Good luck and stick at it. This plan has lost me 20 lbs in 12 weeks so far, just go for it!

I tried it once and for only a few minutes and i enjoyed it and even had me in a sweat but right now i can't do it b/c i'm about to have a total hip replacement and it hurt too much to continue so i do water areobics now which is also alot of fun and not so hard on your joints, etc. But if i could i would do the Turbo Jam!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have heard it's great. A few of my friends have used it with great results and they say they are addicted to the TJ workouts. Sounds like fun to me, but I'm happy with my gym and my weight machine. Good luck!
