What an experience!



The real reason I loved this project and the real reason Turbo Jam will be so much for for people... Heather and Lara from BeachBody. Lara (supermodel on the right) is the VP of Creative and Heather (Curly blonde on the left) is the Director of Production. Together they make an unbeatable team and two great bosses.






Bret, my super supportive hubby there for me even after I took out all of my stress on him for three weeks straight and to top it all off, he played Mr. Mom and did it like an old pro. He lost 12 pounds once he started doing Turbo 4 x a week!






Trying to learn how to operate the camera.






Me... the control freak... taking over in the editing bay.






Everyone being mean to me and making me mop up their sweat between takes.






Our set






Here's me when I stole Ronnie the make-up ladies make-up bag. She had a heart-attack when we saw me using a lip brush on Mindy's eyebrows. Oooops.






That's Rico checking to see if he could remove the battery from my back so that I might "shut up" for 5 minutes.






This is Vicki and she's been doing Turbo for 7 years. She's going to be 50 in a week, and has two kids and the most amazingly ripped abs! That's Bryan behind her. Look at that body. He eats donuts regularly, and like all of us believes if you find a workout that burns serious calories and fat, you can eat anything in moderation! (BTW... he is 7% body fat!)






It look like I might have a head wound here, actually it's Ronnie the make-up gal trying to erase my wrinkles.







First rehearsal on the not yet finished set

Chalene,
Thanks for sharing the making of TJ. I love your workouts. Today it helped me with some stress I was experiencing. Now I got to make sure I get the coordination down. ;)

OMG - I was wondering why I never saw YOU sweat in the earlier videos. LIGHTS, CAMERA, BREAK, uh... MAKEUP. I like to see you sweat too. I thought there was something wrong with me....:)

HI Chalene! My Name is Jo, 26, from Texas. I have a beautiful two year old girl(Cheyenne), and I gained 70 lbs in the pregnancy(got up to 200), then lost 45 (delivery and breast feeding)(155), then gained back 15(170) and I was at 170 for the longest time. My goal is to get to 140-150. I have been doing TJ for a little more than a month now, and have lost roughly 11 lbs.I am now at 158! I feel great! in fact, I can't even concentrate in school if I don't get up and do my "esersize" -(Cheyenne reminds me) I love it and wonder how I ever could have lived without it before. Now the more serious stuff- I'm not looking for a free ride, or anything, but my house got broken-into 2 days ago, and they took one of the two DVD's I had bought from TJ. (It was inside my DVD player that they took)I would love to go and buy it again, but there's 2 reasons why I can't, My husband was really reluctant to kick out the money the first time, thinking that this would be a failure too, like the endless diet pills and health food that never took. The other reason is that we have to replace everything; the DVD player (in order to even do my TJ), and the laptop that is absolutely necessary for my school. We are not rich by any means, but I still need to do my workouts and it's killing me that I can't! Please anybody help! hstorms@satx.rr.com

Hi
I had bought the Turbo Jam DVD more than a year ago, but haven't utilized it fully so I wanted to know if there are any gyms in Dallas, TX which have certified Turbo Jam instructors & workouts?

Thank you for your help.
