i enjoy the class environment too, but i don't have time to be in a class. that's what sucks! i love love love my children, so please don't misunderstand me, but i'll be glad when they're a little older so i can take them somewhere and know they won't terrorize everything! heheheheheh! i may consider going back to the gym, but right now (it's just me) my youngest daughter doesn't speak well and i don't like the idea of leaving her in the care of complete strangers, b/c she wouldn't be able to tell me if something happened, etc. however, my oldest daughter (she's 3) she'll tell me every single thing! hehehehe!
so yeah - if any of you are mothers and you take your children with you to the gym - how do you deal with what little time you have left to eat, etc.? i'm just curious. (and i guess i should post this in the mommy section..duh)

Well I'm a single mother, my daughter is 7, will be 8 in December. It definitely is a challenge, but I make it a priority still. I go directly after work and utilize the after school care at her school. Then when we get home I shower and head straight to the kitchen to prepare dinner, we're usually home by 5/5:30. She does her homework in afterschool and I check it after dinner, while she's in the tub and we work on anything that requires it when she gets out. I give her 30 minutes of free time while I make her lunch and write any notes I need to her teacher. We read and it's about bedtime. I manage to run back and forth to the computer to chat on here as dinner is cooking or lunch is being made, sometimes while she's in the tub if her homework is correct.

After a while it becomes a routine and you're just on autopilot. My daughter has cheerleading and tennis lessons too so those nights have their own schedule. I've begun taking lessons too which is a work out all its own and on her cheerleading nights, I do (try to) strength training at home once she goes to bed and the day before I make something that's easy to reheat so we can a have leftovers for dinner....something like spaghetti or something.


At the Y they have scheduled activities for the kids while the adults work out and she's VERY excited about that.
In addition to being silly I sometimes ramble...did I answer your question. LOL

you did answer my question & thanks so much! yeah, that would totally work when my children are school age. right now they're 3 & 1 and daycare is more than enough for them, i think. so i'll continue to press on for the early mornings and look forward to MAINTAINING my weight by utilizing the gym and stuff when they're school age. they'll have to be in after school programs anyway, b/c i work til 5 and don't plan on leaving this job any time soon! hehhehehe!
but anyway - yes - thank you so much! you're awesome!

No problem! I don't know if going during your lunch hour is an option but I know some women at my job that do that....their kids are at daycare or in school and they don't have to worry about. Some work through lunch, eating at their desk and leav early to work out while the kids are still in daycare/school.

Best of luck to you!

yes, that's definitely an option for me - leaving for lunch to workout. that's when i used to walk, but after my foot began to hurt, i can't walk right now and i'm not sure i should, even when it's better. i actually just started looking today to see if there's a gym close by. so yeah - thanks for the suggestion!

If you aren't sure if you want to buy this, can I suggest looking in your local library for this? I was very surprised that we have it at ours, and I am currently on the waiting list for it!

I just recently bought this off of Ebay. . . I so hope it's easier than the choreography on The Firm's Ultimate Calorie Burner . . . I read that the first dvd (Learn and Burn) teaches you the moves . . .so maybe that will be a big help to me (I'm super un-coordinated) . . .I've given up on 2 of the Firm Dvds (the only one I can handle is the Super Sculpting) I hope I don't give up as easily on this

I Tried Turbo Jam Today

I bought the Turbo Jam instructional video, warmup and one session.

I find the constant abdominal "tucking" movement along with other movements have caused a little strain on my knees.

Am I doing it wrong or does it actually put a little pressure on the knee joints?

Anyone else using it and what is your experience?

I haven't tried this - and I can't answer the question regarding the knee pain, but I would be leery of any joint pain.

I haven't seen a post from her recently, but this woman used Turbo Jam and looked AMAZING

I just started Turbo Jam yesterday. I did the 'learn & burn' in the morning and then the 40 min Cardio last night. I am not feeling any knee pain--I am more sore in my abs and shoulders.

I would question your stance: Are your feet more than shoulder width apart? I find that it is easier on my knees/thighs if they are farther apart. Also, I think it is easier to maintain the 'tuck'.

One think I can say, I think TJ is tons of fun! My MIL has it and has reached a point where she doesn't need the verbal session to keep up--so she goes through the routine with out the talking and has the music turned on high! (I think is it called Session 2?) Anyway, that has always been one of my pet peeves--having to listen to the same 'encouragement' and cringing, knowing that it's coming... I digress.

Don't over do. Make sure you are in the appropriate position and stance. Remember that she says not to lean forward or backwards---keep straight.

Good luck!

I saw that commercial a lot on late night TV. It does look interesting, and is probably a fun type of aerobics that would give you some quickness and balance.

I really think their advertising is misleading though, uses a lot of buzz phrases. Plus it's funny "combines kickboxing, dancing, cardio, sculpting and abs".

From what I saw of the movement, it wouldn't work your abdominals very much. Since it doesn't involve any weight, I assume the best they'd have is some Pilates-ish floor movements for it. Bringing your leg up does work the ab/oblique on that side, but still, not very much compared to what you need for serious growth.

More accurately, a lot of aerobics and lowered body fat would make abs appear, leading to the misconception.

Calling something 'kickboxing' where you don't fight other people, or even hit anything like a pad or whatever, is incredibly misleading. I fear for the lives of anyone relying on something like this or 'Tae Bo' as self defence.
