Turbo Jam: 3 Totally Tubular Turbo

this is a really good strength training workout, especially for beginners. it is just the right length, in my opinion, and has the trademark chalene personality and music.i also liked it because it is slower moving than the other turbojam videos, and it was easier for me to learn the moves and keep up.although it is meant to be used with tubing, i found that free weights worked better for me in the upper body exercises mainly because i had trouble keeping the tubes even. i often switch out to the tubes for the lower body stuff, but ankle weights would be great too.dont be afraid to start out with NO weights or just 1-2 lbs. If you are new to strength training or working out, i wouldnt even start out with more than 3lbs because you may burn yourself out and get discouraged. i started out with 1lb weights and gradually add another lb when i feel that the previous weight is no longer challenging. this allows me to get more use out of the same workout, because i am increasing resistance slowly.i give 4 stars, because it may not be the best workout for a person already at a high level of fitness.if you are just starting with fitness, and going the dvd route, strength training is REALLY important and will improve your results dramatically. So dont forget to add that in to your training!

Very easy, happy with product.

Just cheesy enough to keep your interest. If you are against dancing this is not for you. The moves are not dancy-difficult but some of the workout class participants are dancing and so does the instructor some times. There are all levels of ability demonstrated by the various class members and the teacher is clear about taking care of your self in the different exercises. Tubes are not required but some form of weights is needed. I have a tube just like the one in this video and searched for a good work out that uses tubing that is not too difficult for me...with some years on me to be honest. When I am feeling strong and robust this workout still works because I can follow the more advanced folks who are really pumping iron! Or rubber as the case may be.

I love this DVD from Chalene Johnson and Turbo Jam. 3T means "Totally Tubular Turbo" - Chalene and a lot of the cast use resistance tubes instead of weights for this one. However, there are a few other cast members - Janelle (Chalene's sister), and Mindy (the usual modify-er) using weights instead. I liked the switch up from free weights. Some of those kicks and lower body moves are just not the same with weights! However, I do appreciate that not everyone in the video is using the band. I like to use weights instead of the bands for some of the exercises, and it's nice to see someone demonstrating that on the video. So this DVD does it all, no matter which you prefer, or what kind of mood you're in!

This workout is very enjoyable. Chalene does a good job of keeping an upbeat attitude throughout the whole video. She motivates you to keep going and explains things well. Nevertheless, I like Rock it Out from Rockin' Body more because it works up a sweat and works more muscles more effectively than this DVD. The Rock it Out video is about 15 minutes longer but those 15 minutes are well worth it. I recommend this as an occasional strength training aspect of your fitness routine, not as the only one. If you love turbo jam and Chalene, go for it. It is inexpensive here on amazon.

I did this DVD for the first time today and really enjoyed it! It was 30 minutes well spent! At first I had expected to get a good workout, but instead I got a calorie-killing resistance training session! This DVD, like all the TJ DVDs, have ppl showing modifications to make the moves easier or more difficult. I thought that bc I am used to weight training with heavier weights, I would use a heavy/extra heavy band. I made it through with this band, but will be using my Medium strength band next time! Lots of compound moves to make your workout time more effective and it helps to increase the Heart Rate. I likd it a lot! So far, I am really impressed with Turbo Jam!

I really enjoy this workout- but it isn't as long or intense as Turbo Sculpt. The tubes are a nice change of pace and are very effective but, I most definitely wouldnt replace Turbo Sculpt with this strength training regime. It's a great add to any Turbo Jam collection, though. DVD plays fine.

Great DVD for building muscles and when your short on time. You really need to push yourself to the limit, if you slack you won't feel it. Chalene Johnson is a great instructor, keeps you motivated the whole time but is not annoying! This is a great DVD to add to your Turbo Jam collection! I mix this DVD with ChaLean Extreme DVD set, which I love!

This DVD is perfect for those days when you just want to do strength training without all the cardio. I would recommend this DVD. The DVD c arrived earlier than expected in great condition.

Yes very good workout
