Welcome Shima (again!) and Allie! Go kick some butt on TF...I know you'll love it as much as I do!!!
Did 45 EZ and Stretch 10 today. BB said I burned 407 calories. The darn evil scale said I gained a 1lb (WTF?) so that break out from yesterday was very short lived! :sad: Don't know what happened since I didn't do anything different (I know the scale can fluctuate on a day to day basis) so I'm not depressed or anything but we'll see how things go tomorrow when I have my official weigh in.
Hope everyone has a great day pushing play!

Happy Friday ladies!!!! Woo hoo!!! My fiance sprung it on me and wants to go the cabin this weekend! I love having a place to get away at the spur of the moment!
Today was Push Circuit 3 and Abs 10 and although the push phase isn't my fave, it is a great set of workouts! I have one more week of push and then it's time to bring the heat with HIIT's!!! I can't wait!!!
Shima: Welcome back! Glad to see you back at it! Love lifting heavy! Hope to see more of you on here and keep up the good work!
Allie: Welcome! You are going to love love love Turbo Fire!!!! And take advantage of the "new to class" options; they're great! You may have to use it more than once but it takes a few times to get the moves down to where you can remember them; I still use that option from time to time. Plus, it burns more calories that way!
Let us know how your first day goes!
Sharon: Don't give up! I know how it is; than darn scale is not nice at times! Just keep doing what you're doing and it'll move again; in the negative direction! You're rocking your workouts girl! Also, I sent you a message too!
Well, I hope you girls have an awesome weekend and keep up the good work; you're all rocking it and pushing play!

Happy Monday Ladies! Starting week 12 of TurboFire and am officially down 11.7 lbs since starting this program.
Today was TF 45 EZ and Stretch 10. Bodybugg said I burned 455 calories. Spent a lazy Sunday in front of the TV watching football...very happy that my Giants won! Glenn and I went for an hour walk in the morning and then another 40 minute walk at night so I was able to reach my calorie burn goal for the day.
Hope you all had a great weekend!

I just did Push 1 today, I was so hungry for dinner that I skipped a second video workouts and went for the food... haha. I burned 200 calories doing Push 1 tho, and I got some really great arm work in with it. And... I managed the most fabulous feat of all...
I DID ALL 8 PUSH UPS ON MY TOES!!!
That's the first time I've been able to do that, and even after using the resistance band to do the other exercises in Push 1. This is my last week of Push and I'll be happy to see it go. I'm in need of a few weeks of HIIT workouts and cardio, I definitely lose more weight that way and I want to hit 155 by my birthday in 3 weeks. It's gonna be hard, but I'd even be happy with losing a pound a week. I maintained this weekend and the scale said 160.1 lbs this morning. I REALLY want to see a 159 number! It was 160.0 on Friday, and I'm dying to say I'm in the 150s

well I am back at it today. I took a week off. today was HIIT 15, Burn Circuit 1, Ab Jam and 107 minutes of walking and running. It was a good day.0
-
YAY SARA!!!!!! So happy about your pushup success. That's one thing I've never been able to do...a really good strong (and low) pushup on my toes. I'm really good at doing them on my knees though! A week of HIITs and cardio (and good eating) will take that last pound off to bring you into the 150s. I know you can do it!!!
Glad to have you back Robin! Sounds like you really brought it today.
Have a great night!
Sharon0 -
Hi ladies! Hope you all had a great weekend! I hit it hard today! Was supposed to be Push 1 but I needed a good burn so I did Fire 55 EZ and Abs 10 and burned 751 calories! I needed it! Tomorrow I will do my Push 1 because later in the evening at our fit club, we have our cardio so that'll work out fine.
Allie: Way to go on your 2nd day of TF!!! I knew you'd love it! And don't worry about trying to keep up or anything, just keep moving, that's all that matters! Way to go girl!
Sara: Woo hoo!!!! Congrats on the push ups girl! That is a great accomplishment! I remember when I first started P90X, I couldn't do any! lol Now I love doing them! Keep up the good work! And don't worry, when you set your goals, you meet them! I know you'll see those 150's! Go get em girl!
Sharon: So, a BIG congrats to you! 11.7lbs down?!!! Way to go! You're inspiring me!!! I can't wait to start those HIITS! In fact, I was thinking this morning as I was working out that after I'm done with the hybrid I think I'm going to do just Turbo Fire all the way through! I really wanna get at least 10 more pounds off! I'm soooo thrilled for you! That's so great! That's what that fire will do for ya!
Way to keep at it ladies! I'm so proud of all of you! This program is so amazing that's why I don't want to ever give it up! Let's keep rockin it and pushing play!

Good Morning! It's a beautiful day here in Vegas. Did TF EZ 55 this morning and BB said I burned 533 calories...my most ever! Yippee! I was dripping when I finished! Will walk tonight to finish my day...goal this week is to lose another pound and see 158 lbs. on the evil scale!
Have a great day!
Sharon0 -
My scale gave me a nice present this morning... 159.9 lbs! It's hardly in the 150's, but it's there so I'm officially a member of the club. I'm really watching what I eat this week so that I can get a good number at my weigh in Friday. I'd like to be down to 159.0. I've been averaging a pound a week for the last month, and I tend to stay the same weight through the weekend and then between Tues-Fri drop a pound. Confusing, but I'll take it.
No TF or CLX on my agenda today, I'm going to do 4 or 5 laps around the lake instead. Hopefully the rain we're supposed to get holds off. It's already cold out... lots of layers for me!0 -
:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: YAY SARA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even 1/10th of a pound into 159s is still IN. You go girl! Congratulations.

Good morning girls! Well, today was Push Circuit 2 and Abs 10. I think I've said it before but I'll say it again..........that ab workout is KILLER!!! But I love it! It's like my relationship with Ab Ripper X; I hate it, but I love it!
I can't wait to start the HIIT workouts next week and really start burning some extra goo off!
Sara: Congrats to you girl!!!! Sharon's right, you're IN!!!! Way to go! How was your walk around the lake?
Sharon: Hope you had a great workout today! It was nice chatting with you!
I hope all the other lovely ladies have an awesome day and a good workout! The holidays are right around the corner, don't give up now!
I'm off to find some stuff for my Halloween costume today; I'll be checking back in a little later! Make it a good one!

WHAT IS TURBO FIRE? AND CHAELEAN EXTREME HYBRID? ARE THEY WORKOUT DISC LIKE P90X?0

Hey Guys! Happy Hump Day!
Since week 12 is a recovery week in the Turbo Fire schedule today I did Stretch 40. Didn't even bother checking BB for a calorie burn afterward since I know it will be minimal and I didn't want to frustrate myself. Plan to do an hour walk with my husband and puppy this evening for some cardio. I almost threw in a HIIT just to raise my heart rate but then I talked myself out of it because Chalene knows what she's doing and if she wants me to just stretch and allow my body to recover then darn it I will (even if I feel really lazy doing it)!:laugh:
Deb thanks for the chat yesterday. We're definitely intrigued about the coaching business and helping others lead a more healthy lifestyle.
A****eru - have you ever seen Chalene Johnson's Turbo Jam? Turbo Fire is an amped up version...and Chalean Extreme is her weight lifting program. Both dvd programs are available through Beachbody which is where P90X comes from. Different type of workout program than P90X and another awesome trainer (just like Tony!). You should check it out on the beachbody website.
Have a great rest of your day everyone!

I did Fire 55EZ today, that was a good one! I really liked the combos, especially the finale, Chalene was right! My kicks are getting so much better than when I started. I burned 500 calories, and I wasn't too tired by the end of it, the finale gave me a good boost of energy.
I also am loving my scale lately, it said 159.4 lbs this morning. I should definitely hit 159.0 or lower for Friday. I also ordered my Halloween costume today! I'm a 1940's pin up girl and the costume it HOT! I'm gonna work hard this month so I look my best in it. I ran/walked 4 laps around the lake yesterday, it was chilly and windy and a lot harder to run. I didn't manage the mile I usually can run without stopping, but it was still a good 40 minute workout.0 -
Great workouts today. I got in Burn Circuit 2, Core 20 and HIIT 20 plus an hour of jogging. I feel so good. I love strength days.0

Hello ladies! Well, busy day yesterday and another busy day today and tomorrow! Trying to get prepared for a booth that I'm doing at the local ADA walk on Saturday.
So, the workout this morning has been put off but I will definately get it in today, don't you worry! I plan on doing TF 55 EZ because it is such a calorie burner!
A****eru: I second what Sharon said about the programs. They are both produced by the same company that produces P90X; at home workout systems that work!!!
Sharon: Wow, you're in your recovery week already, that's great! I hear ya on the calorie burn during those weeks but your body does need to rest. I always struggle myself with recovery weeks because I just want to keep burning up those calories! How is the stretch video? I haven't done it yet. Hope you have a great day and I'll follow up with you tomorrow!
Sara: Way to go! I know you'll hit your mark! You are one determined girl! I like it! Your Halloween costume sounds really cute!!! I love that era! I am still working on mine, I'll have to post pics when it's all done. Glad you had a good walk/run! Keep up the good work!
Robin: Wow! Way to bring it girl! Good for you! I also love my strength days! Although I can't wait to start my HIITS next week because I made the mistake of getting on the scale this morning and I've gained 2lbs!!!! WHAT?!!! But, I know it's because of this Push Phase, happens every time! I know I'll lose it again next month!
Well girls, I'm off again. I'll be back later to let you know how my workout goes! Keep rockin' it!

Deb - the Stretch 40 program combines yoga poses with deep stretching moves. I HATE yoga so I end up grumbling my way through 3/4 of the pure yoga poses and then I give up and fast forward to the stretching portion.
Did 45 EZ and Stretch 10 today. Another sweaty mess but I burned 477 calories!
Hope you all have a fantastic day!

Hello everyone!
My name is Samantha and I am addicted to Chalene Johnson workouts! I discovered her about 3 and 1/2 years ago and have done Turbo Jam off and on and now am doing Chalean Extreme. I finish that on Sunday the 10th of October and am planning to start Turbo Fire/Chalean Extreme Hybrid about a week or so after that. I have been doing the Turbo Fire workouts in the mornings and they are so much fun! I love it! I have 10 lbs to go to my goal and hope that Chalene can help me get there.
Just wanted to know everyone's opinion on how things are going with both CX and Turbo Fire together...? I can't wait to see what kind of results I get.0 -
Off to girls night out - good thing i did fire 45 today to get a good burn....0
-
Ok girls, I'm back for the day! Let me tell ya, when I make up for a workout, I make up for a workout! I just got done with Turbo Fire HIIT 30 and Brazil Butt Lift High & Tight! And let me tell ya......the calories were a burning!!!!! Love it!
Samantha: Welcome! Glad to have you! How are you liking Chalean Extreme? You will love Turbo Fire for sure! If you love Turbo Jam; it's that times 100!!!! Tons of fun and lots of energy! So far, I am loving the hybrid! I am one who always wants to make sure I get in my strength training so it's a great combo!
Allison: Hey girl! Glad to see you again! Hope you have fun at your girls' night out! Way to go on getting in a good burn before hand! Hope all is well!
Well, it's shower time and dinner for me girls! Hope you all have a great evening!

hey everyone! so today i did Core 20 for the first time.. i'm officially a week into Turbo Fire, yay!! wow was my body burning during that 20 minutes lol. def a love/hate thing. i'm pretty sure i'll still be feeling it during Fire 45 tomorrow. her core workouts are so great, plus you can't beat the short workout time.
Deb, how do you like the Brazil Butt Lift? i have a friend who's been interested in starting it, but is afraid it would get too complicated.0 -
Hi Everyone! Last day of week 12 recovery week so another session of Stretch 40...yawn! LOL! Have 2 rest days now scheduled for the weekend so I will be walking tomorrow and Sunday to burn calories.
Week 13 has 2 days of TF 60!!! Yay new workouts...can't wait!
Welcome Samantha! I'm only doing TF now but I did CLX before I started. Plan to do the hybrid after I finish so I'll be interested to see how people combine the workouts.
Hope you guys have a great day!

Hi ladies! Well, today I switched it up a little; I did Turbo Fire Tone 30 and OMG! Those bands are no joke!!!! My arms and shoulders were on fire! Love it! I also finished it up with Abs 10; love that workout!
Allie: Glad you're loving the workouts! They just keep getting better! I was actually doubtful about BBL at first but after doing one workout, Leandro changed my mind!!! This stuff works! My bum bum is tighter and higher! No joke! And my thighs are smaller too! My friend actually told me yesterday that she thought my thighs looked more smaller and toned! Yeah!!!! I give it a big thumbs up!
Sharon: Woo hoo! Recovery week almost over! Yeah! You are gonna love the upcoming workouts! So much fun!
Hello to all the other lovely ladies! Hope you're having a great day and Happy Friday!!!

I went for a nice run/walk today, did 5K total. And did much more walking than running this time. I was having issues breathing with all the fluffy stuff floating around in the air around the lake and it was making me cough and my eyes water. It was still a nice hour of exercise, very relaxing! Tomorrow morning I'll be doing Push 2 and some sort of TF workout. I'm gonna be busy busy tomorrow after that, I'm going to the Fall Festival near here for the afternoon with my cousins and then my booze cruise is tomorrow night! I'm still trying to figure out how I'm gonna get there, it's 40 minutes away but the Metro (aka Subway, Underground, whatnot) is under construction and the schedules are all wacky. I'm looking for someone to carpool with right now, but since I don't know anyone going, I'm just posting on the RSVP page for the event and hoping someone is willing.
Anyway, everyone here is doing so well! The magic of Chalene! I lost a whopping 2.2 lbs this week!!! I've cut down on my calories and sodium this week and it's worked so well! I've kept up with exercise too, I think I finally have things figured out. I feel really great about myself and I"m looking forward to everything I'm doing this month. Keep it up girls!0 -

Wow you guys...you are all on fire! So many workouts...so little time. Soon we'll have to come up with a new name for our little group...and it has to include the word "skinny" cause that's what we're all going to be!!!
Deb - sorry I didn't respond to your earlier email. I haven't had a moment to watch the video yet but I do want to talk some more afterwards. We're going on vacation for a week starting next Saturday so let's catch up when I get back. I'll let you know when is a good time.
Hope you all have a great weekend! Finishing up with 2 rest days per the week 12 schedule...lots of walking on tap for me to keep the lazies away.
