Turbo Jam is much better than Tae Bo (note, I have only ever done ONE Tae Bo workout). The music is WAY better, the counting is accurate and Chalene does the work through all the workout instead of stopping and letting everyone else keep working out. Chalene is very peppy and is a great motivator.

If you are worried about shortneing your muscles (which I don't think will happen) you can always cross train with a few pilates DVD...Winsor Pilates, Stott, Lotte Berk.....Also, uring the Cool down of some of the workouts, Chalene does do some yoga poses and Tai-Chi moves as well so you do get some stretching in that will help elongate but not as much since it is only about 5 min. worth and not an entire tape.
