Their most successful collaboration was Turbo Jam, a high intensity fitness program designed to promote a high level of caloric expenditure and to work your core muscles in order to achieve a slimmer and more toned body.

Due to the popularity of the Turbo Jam series, Beachbody has created Chalene Johnson's Get on the Ball fitness program as an extension program to the original Turbo Jam fitness program.

The Chalene Johnson's Get on the Ball fitness program focuses on using an exercise ball to add variety to the Turbo Jam core workouts.

In addition to the Turbo Jam Series, Beachbody has a consistent reputation as one of the premier companies in the fitness program market and has created a variety of popular at-home video/DVD-based programs including P90x, ChaLean Extreme, Insanity, Hip Hop Abs, Yoga Booty Ballet and Slim in 6.

The Chalene Johnson's Get on the Ball fitness program utilizes an exercise ball and is designed to reduce excess weight, strengthen the entire core area, and improve balance and coordination. The fitness program is not a standalone program and is intended as an extension, or supplement, to the original Turbo Jam fitness program.

Individuals that have performed the original Turbo Jam fitness program and achieved significant results may want to consider the Chalene Johnson's Get on the Ball fitness program as a way to add an additional exercise type to their daily workout routine.
