    Day 1 & Day 2 complete, I am sore but happy to be moving again ~ see you tomorrow ~ REST DAY!

    Which for me will actually include me doing all the cooking for the week, packing breakfast, lunch and snacks for myself and my husband. Must plan ahead or I WILL pick junk to eat every time :wink:

    Day 2 done! I feel pretty good about it because I did not want to workout today. I was up all night with a sick little boy and I have had no energy all day. But I knew I needed to workout and push hard. So I did and now I feel great!

    Day 1 & 2 complete.

    Anyone use a juicer? We got one for Christmas. I want to use it, but I enjoy food so much. haha

    After a cruise and the holidays I need a detox

    Hi Everyone - Just checking in - day 1 & 2 done. Did some walking today just to stretch and stay limber.

    TF 30 in the books. I always enjoy Chalene telling me I'm not tired, right when I'm .... well you know. Time to get ready for school and get the 2015 year going.

    Coach, I have always wanted to try the juicer, just can't seem to want to spend the money in case I don't like it. And, yes, I like to eat my food too, might feel ripped off if I drank it!

    My back was sore the past few days, better today, thankfully.

    I did wake up last night around 11 with a stomach ache, did not make today's workout very fun, but I did it! Well, except for the dreaded Stretch 10 lol

    Happy Monday, Day 4 completed!

    Day 4 completed: Fire Started Class!! So much easier than the first day. :D

    I also got my first Heart Rate Monitor. I love it! Didn't really feel it and I was excited to see how much I burned.

    Day 5 complete! Fire 55 EZ (the EZ is a bit misleading though).

    This workout does remind me the most of Turbo Jam, just faster.

    What is Fire Starter? Is that the new Fire 30?

    Happy Tuesday my friends!

    Not thrilled about Thursday's workout. Core 20 and Stretch 40? I'm sure there is a reason it is on the schedule, but............ :s

    Fire Starter is 30 minutes long and it goes through and teaches all the important moves. Be Light I would love to do a stretch 40 (nap time) :) but again I don't have one of those.

    Good morning everyone. Had a great workout this morning although I think I need to get into the bed earlier.

    Snowdancer, you'll be amazed to see how many calories you burn with a HRM. What subject do you teach? I am a high school resource teacher. I work mainly with 10-12 grade young men. They're easier to manage than girls. Haha

    Be light, I've been doing a little research and it looks like TF has been changed a bit. At first glance it appears that it alternates the emphasis of one week cardio and one week HIIT. We do 3 weeks at a time or something like that.

    Have a great day!

    Do you think they are different workouts or just relabeled? I am curious!

    Ha ~ just found the answer on the Beachbody website: Fire 40 is the NEW name for Fire 45 EZ. Fire 55 is the new name for Fire 55 EZ

    hey everyone. I have been looking through the schedule and have decided to make a few changes to it to suit my needs. I will exercise Monday to Friday, and miss out the core class + 40 stretch so that I can do my outdoor run on sundays. Hope I don't get kicked out!!

    Once you're in you're in.

    I'm not a runner so I'll stick to the schedule. :D

    Hi everyone!! I did the same thing that BeLight did - researched why the difference. They are basically the same workouts just labeled differently. Why - I don't know. :) I just did the Fire 45 EZ today. I am sort of following Coach and BeLight but sort of following my schedule. Tomorrow on my schedule shows me doing the Fire Starter class - but I'm going to do the Fire 30 class (like Coach and BeLightYear) instead. I have done the Fire Starter Class enough over the past week or so.

    Day 5 completed! Feeling a little better each day. :D

    Coach I teach math all Pre-algeba through Calculus. With all the standards it has been difficult but I still love the kids.

    Day 6 Complete!

    I am still having a hard time wanting to do Core 20 tomorrow, maybe that and a 20 minute Turbo Jam to burn some extra calories? We shall see.....

    coachreyes Posts: 504 Member
    Wow snowdancer. That's a lot of prep time. I've been doing it 27 years. I love my job and coaching football and track.

    I'm with you BeLight. I don't mind Core 20 but I don't really care for the stretch 40. I will lift weights in the afternoon and jump on the elliptical.

    I have to admit after 55 yesterday and 30 today my shoulders are a little sore. I almost forgot what getting up at 4:30 am felt like. I'm going to have to make a better effort at getting in the bed earlier. I am also eating much cleaner so hopefully we'll see some great improvement and weight loss as well.

    Have a great day.

    I didn't eat the best today and I sure felt it during my workout. I felt very sluggish and tired, ugh! Here's to eating cleaner tomorrow!

    Day 6 Done!! I didn't have a wonderful burn of calories but given that I have to put all of my effort into starting the DVD player, I would say I did pretty good. This working out 6 days a week thing is going to be lots harder than I thought.
  • coachreyes
    coachreyes Posts: 504 Member
    Don't worry about it angela it's not always possible to eat perfect. Some other factors that are important are rest (sleep) and water. I need to work on getting to bed earlier but I have the water thing down. My students wonder why I keep disappearing from my room. lol I'm glad they're old enough to be left alone.

    On a good note we have completed Week One. I am not a fan of Stretch 40 so I didn't do it. We had a 2 hour delay due to the cold so I was able to get an extra hour of sleep and I plan on doing the elliptical this afternoon.

    Hi everyone! I'm new to the group! I started on Monday so today is day 4 for me. I've been working out regularly for about 5 months now but took about a week and a half hiatus from being sick and just decided to jump back in this week with Turbo Fire. (I've never done Turbo Fire before) HOLY SMOKES!! It's intense but I absolutely love it!!
    Day 1&2 done! My back is soon sore. I didn't even know I had muscles back there. ;)
    I had to laugh when I read this because I also couldn't believe how sore my back was when I started Turbo Fire. My back, shoulders, and feet.. :\

    You will get used to the 6 days a week thing. When I first got into working out regularly (about 5 months ago) I felt a lot like you do. It is very hard.. I'm not trying to down play that, but I promise you will get used to it. Now I feel off if I don't work out 6 days a week.

    Day 7 Complete! One WEEK down :smiley:

    Core 20, hard, but boring ~ I totally skipped Stretch 40.

    I think next week I will combine Core 20 with HIIT 15 or 20 and find something else for the Thursday workout, maybe a little Turbo Jam for old times sake lol

    More soreness keeps switching from my shoulders to my back to my legs, at least it is not everywhere at once!

    I feel your pain Snowdancer ~ we have a new blu ray player and I keep hitting the wrong buttons on the remote. Starting to miss my simple dvd player!

    One day at a time Angelaklem! I had a few beers last night (within my calorie budget) and had a hard time getting up this morning :s

    Working out on Saturdays is not my favorite thing, but at least, so far, they are short workouts. It is too easy to want to sit and hang out with my husband!

    Welcome JMS14!

    Day 7 complete! Week 1 done! :D
    My boyfriend joined me and only lasted a couple minutes during AB 10. I loved it and it made me laugh.

    Day 8 done! Fire 45 was trickier than I recall.

    I lost my place a lot. Especially on the first song, mostly because I could not figure out what they were singing about lol

    snowdancer, my husband tried to do Tae Bo with me once, and only once. He gained a lot of respect for me that day :wink:

    TGIF!

    Friday. I love Friday. Off to a great Week 2 start with TF 45. I did good with the first round, but struggled a little later. I don't want to offend you girls but "Boom I got your boyfriend" doesn't get me motivated either.

    Just kidding.

    I will admit that I was lazy yesterday afternoon and didn't get a second workout in. BeLight I don't have any cats to chase and our 3 dogs were lazier than me. It was pretty chilly out so I built a fire and hung out with my daughter. She is going back to college on Sunday so it was good father daughter time.

    snowdancer, I don't know how you do it. I was born and raised in Ohio and if I never see a snowflake again, I'll be ok with it.

    angela, sharkmom, pearshapedmum and jms keep us posted. I'm feeling really good about this program right now.

    Have a great weekend!

    I didn't let me two 80 pound dogs in because they follow me around. Dog conversation: "She's going to the kitchen, maybe we can have treats, oh, wait, she's heading for the living room, maybe we can snuggle, wait, back to the kitchen, treats?, living room, snuggle?, okay, Mom's lost her mind again, let's lay in the middle of her path and trip her" :D:p

    I sure am glad that I am working out at home and not going to the gym. We got about 12 inches of snow last night and there is currently zero visibility. So, I'm staying home today and getting my Turbo on! Well, as soon as the kids go down for their naps that is. By the way coach, I love "Boom I got your boyfriend" and I can't wait to get 45 done!

    I do have a question for you all. Has anyone ever tried the eating plan that goes with the 21 day fix? I talked to my sister last night and she said that we is doing the 21 day fix diet and she is seeing great results. Now, I'm starting to look into it. I don't think I would want to do the videos that go along with it, I would have to keep doing my turbo fire! Any thoughts on 21 day fix?
