Workout from home: Save Money & Time!

Here's a great Turbo Jam/Beachbody success story. These workouts work--if YOU do. Let me help you get started!

Lisa Lohman's story:
"They always say the hardest part of working out is making it to the gym. Now, if you want to go to the gym before work, you have to wake up early, get dressed to work out, drive to the gym, check in, find an available machine, get your workout in and drive home to take your shower before heading to work. Of course getting to the gym is the hardest part. With so much to dread, no wonder motivation is out the window.

What if you could eliminate all that and still attain an incredible workout? How does this sound? Wake up, get dressed, Push Play and start your workout! No fancy gym membership fees, no one else's sweat slathered all over the equipment you are using, no more worrying about how you look while you are grunting and sweating away inches, no more tedious drives or searching for parking spaces It's just you! One on one with your favorite exercise program. Why waste precious time getting ready to workout when you can just do it?

I, like many, used to be addicted to the gym. In my early twenties, I found myself at the gym for several hours a day. My guilty pleasure? Kickboxing! I loved the empowerment I felt during a class kicking the heavy bags with all my might. I felt like ChunLi in the Street Fighter video Game. Okay, enough about my crazy kickboxing addiction. Needless to say, life changes as you get older. Getting Married and having a child led to my inability to spend all those hours in the gym. With my metabolism, I required the high intensity workouts to shed the pounds.

Six years and 75 extra pounds later is when I watched an Infomercial on the Turbo Jam program. At this point, I had gained so much weight that I was embarrassed to set foot in the gym as I did not want to feel like "the fat girl" that everyone watched and judged. What I loved about Turbo Jam is that it encompassed all that I love about Kickboxing minus the heavy bags. You are still bobbing and weaving and throwing punches and kicks. Chalene Johnson, the creator, is very attentive to proper form so you stay true to sport. I will admit that I miss the heavy bags but my joints do not. I got tendinitis along with a lot of other injuries in the kickboxing gyms. I stay injury free with this program and I get results. In one months time, I lost TWENTY pounds. As they say, results are not typical UNLESS you go all in. No workout will work if YOU don't work!

There are all types of home workouts and something that is right for you. I was lucky enough to find out what worked best for me with ease. The only thing that is keeping you from attaining the physical fitness goals that you want is yourself. Find what interests you. There are TONS of home fitness workouts to include yoga, weight training, pilates, hip hop dancing; there is something for everyone. Cut out the middle man and workout from home. With the 40 minutes it to you took drive to and from the gym and all that other time that was sucked into "getting ready" to workout, imagine what else you could have accomplished that day?

A friend sent me a lovely quote the other day which embodied so much of what I have felt over the past few years. "Both tears and sweat are salty, but they render a different result. Tears will get you sympathy; sweat will get you change". I spent a lot of time feeling helpless and sorry for myself because I was so saddened by my weight gain. I finally took charge, found my inner strength and motivation, and here I am fifty pounds thinner and still going. Thank goodness for home workouts! It would never be possible otherwise."


Remember, there is ALWAYS time to workout. Even if you start out small, it is never too late to get results and feel good about yourself. You can do it to. Commit to be Fit!
