    Guys I just started TurboFire and I feel so discouraged :( It was my first day. Fire 30. Seemed easy, but I could only do 15 minutes of it before my chest felt really tight and I had to stop or I wouldn't have been able to breath. What the?!?!?! I'm thinking maybe I have to work on my breathing? Eat more? I don't know but this better get better because I had the energy to finish the workout but just couldn't because of the tightness in my chest. Bummer :(

    It's ok to do just 15 minutes, then tomorrow do 16 minutes...push a few steps futher each day and work up to it. You'll still see results.

    Did Fire 30 today and Sculpt. I know I need to do the Sculpt and Tone videos but I just don't feel like I'm working if I'm not doing cardio...warped thinking I know...I did burn 453 calories with both so that is a plus.

    Was gone for the weekend and totally missed working out to TF! Got home yesterday and was just too tired to workout, so this morning did yesterday's workout w/today's scheduled one. Fire 45 and HIIT 20. Totally dripping with sweat and exhausted after that. Boy, just 3 days w/out TF and I felt like I hadn't done it in weeks!! Getting back on track!

    I did that over the weekend to make up for Saturday. It was tough but well worth it. Tomorrow is supposed to be a rest day but I may miss working out this weekend so I plan on doing HIIT 25.

    Haven't gotten to HIIT 25 yet. HIIT 15 & 20 work me to death...LOL. We'll see how 25 goes when I get to it on the schedule. Good for you for the "make up" workout. :)

    HIIT 15/CLX Burn it Off/Sculpt 30 yesterday. Today did Fire 55EZ and used weighted gloves. I actually didn't feel as tired towards the end of 55EZ like I usually do. I'm going to see how the arms feel tomorrow after using the weighted gloves. Maybe I shoulda started with Fire 30 with those??? Hmmmm....oh well....hindsight! :ohwell:

    Didn't get to workout yesterday.tweeked my back so gave it a rest. Today is a bust too. My 4 year old was up at 5 this morning. If I don't workout before everyone gets up I can forget it. We are going to the park for some serious playtime so I'll get a small workout in then,

    Hello! I am new to MFP, but have been doing Turbo Jam with the weighted hand gloves off and on for the past four years or so between pregnancies. I want to get Turbo Fire....but need to justify the purchase. WHY should I get it? How is it better/different from Turbo Jam? And can I join your group? I need the motivation! I have about 15 pounds to lose. My hubby and I each have about 15 pounds to lose and have agreed that when we reach our goal, we will book a cruise or other trip for March to celebrate our 10-year wedding anniversary!!!! Now that should motivate me, right? :happy:

    Well I can't answer how they are different because I didn't start with Turbo Jam but just wanted to say yes that should motivate you and be proud you've made it to 10 years, hardly anyone does that anymore. I do love TUrbo Fire, lost 9.25" and 4.7 lbs the first month. I have 10 more lbs to lose to get to goal.

    Congrats on your upcoming anniversary and commitment to exercise! I have only done a few turbo jam DVDs but would say that turbo fire kicks up the intensity a notch, especially with the inclusion of hiit and intense fire drills. Here is an article about the comparison, it includes a link to a YouTube video where Chalene explains the difference.

    Hello Everyone,

    I am still doing well and still motivated. I am on week 10 and still pushing. I have lost about 8 pounds and alot of inches. I am 4 % away from being at 20% body fat. I also found out that my scale was wrong and it was adding on 3 pounds . So happy to know that I was always 3 pounds lighter...whooo hooo:smile::smile:


    This has been a long journey but I love it. I think I will be starting another round of Insanity after this round. We shall see.
    I am just happy to see my group getting bigger and thank you to all the newbies that have joined. I hope you use this board as a resource and a motivating factor to keep you pushing play.

    Have a great day and keep pushing play.:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    The main thing is to remember you can modify it. I can't work as hard with my knees so I modify that but make sure I keep it high intensity with the arm moves so I keep my heart rate up. There are a couple of jumps I don't do during HIIT but I'll do jumping jacks instead or run in place as hard as I can to keep the intensity up.

    Fire 45EZ today. First time I did that one. I kept waiting for the "fire drill" but nothing. But that's a pretty good workout on it's own! Still sweating like crazy. Tomorrow is HIIT 25. It'll be the first time I'm doing that one too. Let's hope I make it thru!!!
