Turbo Sculpt is a 39 minute total body sculpting workout. It?s a fusion of kickboxing, dance, martial arts, and sculpting moves, many which are compound moves. This workout works your abs, arms, legs & glutes, chest, and back. Weights range from 3 lbs. To 10 lbs.

Turbo Jam has a Slim Series feel to it, but the music is much better, and overall, the workout is much more fun. Chalene?s form pointers is excellent throughout the entire workout.

As with all of Beachbody?s workout, Turbo Jam has a Master Clock and Segment Timer

Even though the chapter breakdown looks boring, the variety of the squats, lunges, and rep speed makes this workout fun. Like a SS workout, once the workout starts, you?re in constant movement until the cool down. I have no problems working up a good sweat.

Chalene spends a few seconds before the start of each chapter giving us a heads-up to what exercises we will be doing and giving us form pointers.

I think Chalene has picked up where Billy left off. Chalene went a step further and combined, kickboxing, great music, and dance moves, and created a workout that really is fun to do, Turbo Jam/Kick. It's all about having fun and not taking yourself too seriously.

Negatives:
I would have to say her, cuing. Even though I can catch on easily, my daughter thought that her cuing was definitely a problem for anyone who needs to have a routine broken down before attempting the routine. Even though she?s been taking kickboxing classes for the last three years, she found Chalene?s lack of cuing a negative.

Her form during the lunges could have been better. I felt that Chalene was leaning forward too much.

Some of Chalene?s chatter could be annoying to some. Her, ?Yeah Baby? comment could bother some people.

About me:
I'm an advanced exerciser who likes to rotate my heavier strength workouts with lighter weights/higher reps workouts. My rotations are usually 4-6 weeks of heavy weight training, followed by 2 weeks of lighter weight training.

Instructor Comments:
Chalene Johnson?s enthusiasm is contagious. She has great camera presence and is very confident in her ability to lead a great workout. As as I stated earlier, Chalene's form pointers are excellent!
I also love her philosophy: ?Music can motivate you to do anything.?
I?ve been introduced to three new instructors this year that I feel have a lot of potential in the home fitness industry. Chalene Johnson is one of the instructors.
