Join me! Turbo Fire/Chalean Extreme hybrid starts today!!!

Dragonfly11

Hi Everybody,
Count me in !!! I just placed my order for TF and I can't wait!! I've had success w/ TJ before and lost lbs and inches last year. I felt like I was in the best shape I've been in since high school. I was motivated to watch what I ate and was working out 6 days/week 45-90 min/day. In March I finally got the courage up to give up the cigarettes i've smoked since I ws 15yrs old - i'm 47 now- and my motivation has seriously declined. My weight, however, has seriously gone up and I am very unhappy with the way I look. I am also disappointed that I worked so hard and my body doesn't reflect that anymore. So getting off of the pity pot effective immediately.
Today I weighed 192 this morning and I'm tired of feeling sorry for myself.
I still work out but not with the passion that I used to ~ in order for me to make the changes that I want I have to change my whole perspective and try something new. Hopefully this program is it and, with all of your help, I can join you all as we make changes together.
I am going to poull out the TJ and get going on that until TF arrives!!

Looking forward to getting to know all of you better and good luck to us all,

Janet

WOW!!!! What a workout today! I did my regularly scheduled Chalean Extreme Push Circuit 2 and then did BBL Sculpt and Abs 10 and my shoulders are on FIRE!!!! But, I'm loving the soreness! I know, I'm weird but it means that my body is changing!

I've just refueled my body and already had my Shakeology; I'm good to go!

Hi everybody.

I finished CLX in august and now I am starting the Hybrid with Turbo Fire. I also mix in some Turbo Jam and Zumba. I also hit the treadmill for at least 2 hours Monday thru Friday. So I have definately been well over 1000 calories burned a day since Monday. Today I did Turbo Sculpt, Fire 30, Stretch 10 and Ab Burner along with my run/walking.

I had taken about a month off from serious working out. It feels good to get back to it. I hope I can get great results by my daughters wedding in January.

keep pushing play!

Just finished Tone 30 and HIIT 25. I used to always do the cardio workout first and then the strength training, but I found that if I do HIIT first, I'm so sweaty that the resistance bands slip and slide all over my arms, making it tough to keep my form. Doing it in the reverse order prevents that problem, but after the gazillion lunges in Tone 30, my legs were a bit weary for all the squat leaps.

That said, it was brought! Now I'm off to walk the dogs and clean my house because I've got 5 neighborhood girls coming over to do Fire 45 EZ tomorrow night.

Hi Guys! I'm back from vacation and dove right into Turbo this morning with HIIT 15, Fire 30, and Stretch 10. Bodybugg shows I burned a little over 400 calories total (HRM said it was more like 900 calories but I log BB results). Taking my doggie out for a brisk walk tonight to burn the rest so I meet my 500 calorie target.

Dreaded scale showed a 4 lb gain...:sad: ...but I guess that's what happens when you don't really exercise, drink too much beer at the Giants game, and start TOM. Must get it off ASAP so I can go back to making progress on my actual target weight.

Ok I have to get back to work now. Talk to you guys tomorrow!

Way to go girl! And that's awesome that you've got some friends coming over to join in the excitement! Have they ever done TF?

Sharon,

Welcome back!!! :bigsmile: Way to get right back into it! Good for you! And don't dread the weight gain, it'll come right back off! Keep up the good work!

Good Morning! On tap today...55 EZ. Bodybugg says I burned 472 calories (HRM showed over 800). Scale showed a 1.2 lb loss since yesterday so maybe the 4 lb gain won't last too long. The extra walking with my dog seems to be my answer to making the scale move faster.

Have a great day!

Hey Fire-starters!
I'm still recovering from Jet lag and getting back to work - today was the first day I haven't felt blah since back from Brazil. I have a bunch to do after work because headed to retreat this weekend and have to be ready for that. Will try to just do something - anything when I get home!! Getting started again is the hardest part for me after an interruption in a w/o schedule..... Enough whining!!
FIRE will start for me on 9/22 according to the delivery date and I just can't wait - going to take before pix and everything!!! I hope the results will be visible after 60 days, i hope , i hope.!!

Does anyone have any pix to share?

Hope all have an amazing day!!

Morning ladies! Well, another scorcher today! I did Fire 30, HIIT 15 and BBL's High and Tight!!! My tush is on fire!!!! And....the best part, I was hesitant, but I got on the scale and lost 4lbs!!!!! Woo hoo!!!!! Apparently, I'm doing something right so I'm going to keep the caloric intake right where it's at!

Sharon: congrats on your weight loss! Those 4lbs will be off in no time! And walking is such a great exercise to burn calories! Way to go!

Janet: As long as you get something in, that's all that matters, even if it's just 20 min; it's better than nothing! Once you get started with Turbo Fire, there will be no stopping you! I can't wait until you get started! I have been noticing results like crazy! Haven't taken any pics with TF yet but you can go to my profile and see some of my before/after pics!

Hope you all have a great day and thanks for sharing your day with me!

Great job Deb! Wow 4 lbs is an awesome accomplishment!

00trayn

Congrats Deb! 4 pounds is all I've lost in the past month! But with only 2 weeks of doing Turbo Fire, I've lost over 2 lbs so I have high hopes for the Hybrid.

Yesterday I did Push 2 and I burned 100 more calories than Push 1! I didn't even do a HIIT workout or anything after it, I was happy with my 200-something burn. I went to the gym today and had a great burn from running with a bit of walking thrown in, the stationary bike, and the elliptical. I'm hoping for a good weigh in tomorrow, I want to see the 150's soon and I'm 1.8 lbs away as of this morning!

ddavies919

Thanks for the congrats girls! I think we're all rockin it!!!

Sara: 2lbs in 2 weeks is great! Remember, celebrate even the little accomplishments! You can do it girl!!!! Great job on the calorie burn as well! I can't wait for the lean phase, it's my favorite!!!

Keep up the good work ladies!

Deb

Happy Friday girls! Woo hoo!!!!

Today was Chalean Extreme Push Circuit 3, Abs 10 and BBL Sculpt! Whew! Love working this hard!

Now I'm working on putting my home office together! Can't wait! So, come Monday, I'll be posting from my new home! :happy:

Lots to get done today, so I'll be cutting it short, sorry!

Hope you're all doing great and have a wonderful weekend!

I did Burn It Off and Ab Burner today. My abs are such weak sauce...hahaha. I have to modify most of the moves, but hopefully after doing it for a month or two, I'll be able to build up some ab muscle. That's my only weak area, my arms and legs are awesome, my core... not as much. I've got Push 3 and a Turbo Fire workout in the morning. I'm thinking Fire 30 with it.

I don't know if it's because I'm not flexible at all, but I can't do the jumps very well at all! My tucks are terrible and the jack jumps my legs don't get very high at all. I'm also living on the 2nd floor of an apartment building and I don't want my neighbors complaining. Either way, I modify them a bit to make it easier (and quieter). It looks like I'll be back into the HIIT workouts in a couple weeks, once I'm done with the Push phase workouts. I really want to hit 155 by my birthday on Oct 22, I could use some good HIIT workouts... haha

Sculpt 30 and HIIT 25 today...I've said it before and I'll say it again. There are a LOT of plyometric squat jumps in HIIT 25!!!!!!!!!!!!!

00trayn

I'm sure my neighbors downstairs will love when I start doing HIIT 25.... hahaha. I'm gonna do another 2 weeks of the hybrid schedule with Push and then I'll get into the HIIT stuff for a few weeks. I looked at the schedule, lots of HIIT 20 and 25 it looks like.... should be fun.

ddavies919

Hi ladies! Wow, busy day today! Of course, I got my workout in first off. I did Fire 45 and BBL Bum Bum and talk about squats! My tush better be in graet shape after this! lol

Then, I burned some more calories moving in my office furniture! Heavy lifting for sure! It looks great though!

Glad to see you girls still going strong! Love it!

Sara: Uh oh.....yeah, your neighbors probably won't be too fond of you with those HIIT's! lol Oh well, they'll run upstairs wondering what you're doing and you can show them!

Hope you ladies have a wonderful rest of your weekend! Tomorrow is my rest day and I am looking forward to it!

Once again, on my schedule I see HIIT 25 and Tone 30. I TOTALLY pushed myself in the HIIT workout today...bringing my knees as high as I possibly could. Had my heart rate at 91-92% of max at the end of each circuit, but was really amazed at how much it dropped by the time the next circuit started (usually right around 76% of max). Tone 30 is still killer! SO MANY LUNGES!

I have HIIT 30 for the first time on Wednesday and saw (on Facebook) a video that another exerciser posted. It looks SO good! Can't wait!

By the way...are any of you on Facebook as well? If so, please send me a friend request...I'm at www.facebook.com/nancyschwert

For all your CLX/TF experts, I have a question:

I'm trying to speed up the schedule for the hybrid a bit, so I'm basically planning to shorten the 4 week blocks to 3 weeks instead. Right now I'm through Week 5 and I'm thinking I might start skipping the days with Push 1 to speed things up (I already add an extra "rest" day because I'm going to run outside 2-3 times a week now). Push 1 has SUCH a low calorie burn and I felt like Push 2 and 3 were better workouts. I'll still be strength training 3 days a week, just with 2 different workouts instead of 3. I switched to a resistance band for almost all of the exercises and that is tough! I was only using 8 lb weights, so a strong resistance band is definitely upping things. And I'm keeping up with the ab workouts and stuff when that's thrown in. I'm keeping a good balance of strength workouts, TF or CLX cardio workouts and running, so my body shouldn't get used to anything too quickly.

Anyway, that's my game plan. If anyone has any other suggestions of how to mix things up or shorten the schedule, I'd love to hear it I have the shortest attention span so I'm always changing things.

I am back in the swing of things today. I did HIIT 15, Burn Circuit 1 and Ab Jam after I walked for an hour. Plenty of time left in the day to add more so we will see.

Sara, the reason you don't burn alot in Push 1 is because it is really working your arms and that is a smaller muscle group. I personally wouldn't skip it entirely because it is important to work those muscles to get sexy arms. Sometimes its not about the burn but about the visual results. Anyway that is my two cents.
