Chalean Extreme before TurboFire
I have been a fan of the Turbo workouts for several years. I have recently completed the Extreme workout program and am looking for more, so I ordered Turbo Fire. Upon reading the information, I saw this hybrid workout to add Extreme with the TurboFire. My fear is that I will lose the muscle that I am beginning to see with…

Hello , newbie here, but so is spring!
I have become overweight from eating out at restaurants and fast food joints. Oh, and just plain old over eating. I am very short so I feel a little jipped because I have less room for it all to spread out. A few extra pounds show, thirty five extra, affects my lifestyle. I refuse to buy new clothes. Fifteen years ago, I…

Disappointment...
I would like to thank everyone for support in the time I've been on this site, but I have decided that this is not the best way for me to become the healthier person that I want to be.
