(More customer reviews)I thought this was a nice compliment to the Turbo Jam cardio workouts. I actually prefer it to Turbo Sculpt from the first Turbo Jam workout set--cueing was a bit better, moves seem to be a bit more thought out, etc. I also had a proper sweat going on so I was glad that this workout can really get the heart pumping. While Chalene is still her cute and bubbly self, I did find this one a slightly dull (this observation could spring from my personal prejudice against resistance training so you'll have to be your own judge in this area).
The workout is a bit over 30 minutes and can be done with resistance tubing or free weights (a few of the participants actually use them in the video). While I didn't find the tubing difficult to work with or anything, I personally prefer to use weights. I usually do strength training starting off with 5 lbs weights so I felt that the workout was more effective this way. Chalene suggests that this workout can be also done without tubing or weights but by "using your own resistance."
Warm-Up:
4 min warm-up: toe taps, punches, squats, stretches
Workout:
The majority of these exercises start out in half time, then goes to "singles," ending in pulses then repeated on the opposite side of your body:
5 min "Biceps & Outer Thighs": biceps curls, angled bicep curls, outer thigh raises to the side and to the back
6 min "Shoulder & Thighs": lateral raises, lunges, lunges with extensions---One crazy twist to one set of the lunges? You go down, hold the down position then raise up sloooowly--ouch! but in a good way ;)
5 min "Triceps & Glutes": Tricep extensions, tricep kickbacks, tricep straight-arm pulses (double ouch!!), squats
3 min "Back & Outer Thighs": rows, more outer thigh exercises
5 min "Abs": Various floor exercises (a few will be familiar to you if you own Ab Jam): Side bends, plank with leg extensions, push-ups
Cool Down:
3 min "Post-Strength Stretch": Quad stretch, "bow", "child's pose", etc.
