Turbo Jam™ Featured Move: The "W"

General Description:

The "W" refers to the "guard" position we use in Turbo Jam™ (Kick™) to increase upper-body toning. We've named it "W" because when held in this position, it is a simple way to improve abdominal and back strength without even thinking about it. You will see this position used throughout Turbo Jam™ (Kick™) workouts.

Primary Muscle Group Target:


Obliques, latissimus dorsi, and rhomboids.

To Perform:

Start in Turbo Tuck position and frame your body with your forearms.

  1. Bring your left arm across your chest, so your fist is under your chin, with the back of your fist facing out, forearms facing in. Keep your elbow near or behind the left rib cage, framing the ribs. Your right arm opens up, fist up, forearm facing out, elbow at rib level. Your arms will form the letter "W".

  2. Switch

Always keep your "W" in front of you, pointed in the direction you are kicking or looking.

*The W is a Turbo Jam™ featured move and is taken from the Turbo Results fitness and nutrition guide contained in the Turbo Jam™ infomercial and is a position used in many live Turbo Kick™ classes.
