| I was really excited to purchase this after finding out a few people I know lost a lot of weight using the Turbo Jam videos. I thought I would buy just 1 video to see if it was something I would like to do and then order the Max results package if I liked it. My problem with this video is that they dont go over the steps, they just start doing the program without explaining what to do. If I had known that was how this particular video was I would have skipped it and just bought the set that comes with the "move cards" and video on the moves. And then the camera has a tendency to zoom on the workouters faces instead of the moves they are doing. I wouldn't recommend this one for a first time Turbo Jam purchase. |
Awesome!

| This is a 30 minute workout but feels like a 50 minute one! It has 2 turbo's 30 seconds apart in the middle. There's one thing that tends to bother me a little with all the workouts is that Chalene seems to get the right and left sides mixed up an awful lot because she forgets if she's talking about here right or your right plus she always talks about working out as their mirror image so "your right is her right as well" (when in actuality that's not what a mirror image is- your right is their left). And in this particular one they forget to stretch one side of the body on a particular stretch. Of course after you do it enough you learn how to fix it up yourself a little. It's just these minor things that I'm giving it a four. The workout itself is fun. |
FUN FUN FUN

| This is a great addition to all of my Turbo Jam Workouts. It is really fun and it is only 30 minutes so it is great to do when you are short on time. All of the moves are from the Cardio Party's so there isn't anything new to learn but the combo's are different and you are sweating in a really short period of time. I would highly reccomend if you love TJ! |
Great, challenging, fun

| I usually don't do such a short workout but it's so intense and so fun and so HARD! I just run before I do it. You wont regret buying this one! Music is good. Very casual setting. One girl needs to take off her hat. Geez silly! Other than that distraction very very good workout. |
WOW! What a workout!

| As the other reviewer said, this is an intense workout in a short time period. It is definitely a condensed version of CP1, and the 2 turbos really make it a great cardio workout. I love this one. I wish Chalene would do more 30-min. workouts. Some days I just don't have 45-60+ minutes to devote to my workout! Also, you need to be familiar with the Turbo Jam workouts and moves before attempting this one. It is lots of fun and you will SWEAT! |
Great high energy workout in a short time period!

| Cardio Party Remix is part of the Turbo Jam Live series. Here, instructor Chalene Johnson is unscripted--she talks more, moves about the class, and displays a higher energy level overall. The workout itself incorporates many sequences from the previous three Cardio Party workouts. In particular, the 4-minute warm-up was reminiscent of CP1, with virtually the same moves, just performed in a shorter time frame. Other familiar exercises include plenty of knee lifts, turbo twist, Tai punches, howzit, zig-zag knees, punch high-low, and of course finesse/jenga. I was a little disappointed that there weren't more kicks; there is a front knee/back kick combo and a section that includes a few side kicks, but that's about it. However, I did like that this workout wasn't a space hog, particularly in terms of side-to-side movements (my exercise space is limited!). Finally, for fans of the high-energy turbo segments, this workout includes two turbos back-to-back with only a brief water break in-between (at about the 20-minute mark). The workout concludes with a 3-minute cool-down and 2-minute Tai Chi stretch, bringing in the total time at 31 minutes; as with all Beach Body videos, there is a helpful countdown clock on screen. The only really negative I see to this video is that Chalene gives even less instruction and cueing than she does in her other workouts. She seems to assume that you already know the moves, so if you've never tried Turbo Jam before, I wouldn't recommend starting with this DVD. For Turbo Jam fans, however, this is a great workout to add to your collection--overall 4 1/2 stars! |
