Oh girl! That's all I needed to hear! Consider this sucker bought!!! :D :D Thanks for sharing!
 
hey, onhappdaye just to let you know very important i have also not been eating after 6:30 pm hard but worth . good Luck i will keep you posted
 
I know i just joined and all, but since this is the thread that brought me here, I thought i would respond. I have TJ and LOVE IT! Yes its not easy at first, and i had to slow it down, etc. But you can feel it working, these are results that keep me going and i would recommend it to anyone. Almost like other DVD's you won't be perfect, and you may feel funny, just think of it as a work out to start, next thing you know you'll feel like dancing! :=)
 
Also...If you don't feel up to doing the full 20 min workout you can just do the learn and burn section until you get comfortable. You WILL feel it the next day!
 
Oh heck yeah you'll feel it!! Specially if you're out of shape like me and just started it! rofl
You may not think that the moves you're doing is doing anything, but LORD knows the next day you'll be sore as hell from it.
There's alot of side crunches that I didn't think were gonna do anything, but I tell ya... I was about to die the next day (after my very first time doing TJ) b/c my sides were hurting so bad :p heh

happydaye - you crack me up! i think the commercials look so fun also, but that's how i ended up with the firm. and yeah - the firm works, but it's not that fun for me. but i'd love to hear more about turbo jam!
 
I'd only recommend TJ for those who have enough money to spend on it. It is pretty pricey, so if you don't have the money to spend... I'd just go with something cheaper just in case you don't like it.. ya know?

lol I'm a little silly sometimes! With my recent fade in love affair with Curves I'm now afraid to buy this. I've bought Winsar Pilates, Slim in Six and some other fad that I can't remember and I didn't stick with it. As much fun as this sounds and as excited as I was, I've decided to go with the Kickboxing class at my YMCA...that way if I get bored with it I can move onto a different class and not pay any more money.
 
i enjoy the class environment too, but i don't have time to be in a class. that's what sucks! i love love love my children, so please don't misunderstand me, but i'll be glad when they're a little older so i can take them somewhere and know they won't terrorize everything! heheheheheh! i may consider going back to the gym, but right now (it's just me) my youngest daughter doesn't speak well and i don't like the idea of leaving her in the care of complete strangers, b/c she wouldn't be able to tell me if something happened, etc. however, my oldest daughter (she's 3) she'll tell me every single thing! hehehehe!
so yeah - if any of you are mothers and you take your children with you to the gym - how do you deal with what little time you have left to eat, etc.? i'm just curious. (and i guess i should post this in the mommy section..duh)
 
Well I'm a single mother, my daughter is 7, will be 8 in December. It definitely is a challenge, but I make it a priority still. I go directly after work and utilize the after school care at her school. Then when we get home I shower and head straight to the kitchen to prepare dinner, we're usually home by 5/5:30. She does her homework in afterschool and I check it after dinner, while she's in the tub and we work on anything that requires it when she gets out. I give her 30 minutes of free time while I make her lunch and write any notes I need to her teacher. We read and it's about bedtime. I manage to run back and forth to the computer to chat on here as dinner is cooking or lunch is being made, sometimes while she's in the tub if her homework is correct.

After a while it becomes a routine and you're just on autopilot. My daughter has cheerleading and tennis lessons too so those nights have their own schedule. I've begun taking lessons too which is a work out all its own and on her cheerleading nights, I do (try to) strength training at home once she goes to bed and the day before I make something that's easy to reheat so we can a have leftovers for dinner....something like spaghetti or something.


At the Y they have scheduled activities for the kids while the adults work out and she's VERY excited about that.
In addition to being silly I sometimes ramble...did I answer your question. LOL
 
you did answer my question & thanks so much! yeah, that would totally work when my children are school age. right now they're 3 & 1 and daycare is more than enough for them, i think. so i'll continue to press on for the early mornings and look forward to MAINTAINING my weight ;) by utilizing the gym and stuff when they're school age. they'll have to be in after school programs anyway, b/c i work til 5 and don't plan on leaving this job any time soon! hehhehehe!
but anyway - yes - thank you so much! you're awesome!
 
No problem! I don't know if going during your lunch hour is an option but I know some women at my job that do that....their kids are at daycare or in school and they don't have to worry about. Some work through lunch, eating at their desk and leav early to work out while the kids are still in daycare/school.

Best of luck to you! :)
 
yes, that's definitely an option for me - leaving for lunch to workout. that's when i used to walk, but after my foot began to hurt, i can't walk right now and i'm not sure i should, even when it's better. i actually just started looking today to see if there's a gym close by. so yeah - thanks for the suggestion!
 
If you aren't sure if you want to buy this, can I suggest looking in your local library for this? I was very surprised that we have it at ours, and I am currently on the waiting list for it!

I just recently bought this off of Ebay. . . I so hope it's easier than the choreography on The Firm's Ultimate Calorie Burner . . . I read that the first dvd (Learn and Burn) teaches you the moves . . .so maybe that will be a big help to me (I'm super un-coordinated) . . .I've given up on 2 of the Firm Dvds (the only one I can handle is the Super Sculpting) I hope I don't give up as easily on this
