Well the first one is done and I feel really good that I am getting back into taking care of myself and making a healthy and active change! I just completed Fire 30 and thought I would check in while it is fresh on my mind. It was a bit tough, but I had more energy than expected and made it through and now its done and I can enjoy what little is left of the evening :-D
For those of you who had a workout scheduled today, how did it go? I am going to try to check on this topic each time I do a workout to hold myself accountable to this group and myself :-)
Hope you guys have a great evening!

I did HIIT 15 and tone 30 (I think that's what it's called. , it is the second one on the sculpt DVD). Certain parts were tough but I pushed through and felt amazing. Can't wait to see how much more I will be able to do as I get fitter!!!0

Week 1 Day 4 in the books!
I set my alarm to wake up at 4:20 and to start exercising by 4:30. Yes...in the AM! I feel more productive in the day when my workouts are completed in the morning. Plus, by the end of the day, I have less energy to commit to it.
Midway through the workout I told myself..I didn't wake up at 4:30 just to play around...get it done! LOL0 -
Great job committing!!! I know how hard it can be to not push snooze that early in the morning!!:). But I also know what you mean about losing motivation!! Plus a early workout always energizes me for the day!!0
-
Awesome job Bravo! I will be doing my workout in the evening. I WISH I could just get up and get it done in the morning, but I am soooo not a morning person :yawn:0
-
Finished fire 30 and stretch ten. Full of energy now!! I also have aerobics tonight!!!0

Awesome Meli! I just did HIIT 15 and stretch 10. Think I may die! I was overly ambitious and tried doing all the jumps. Got through most but then had to modify at the end. Does anyone know about how much you burn during that one? I misplaced my HRM and need to log.0
-
When I did it with my hrm it was approximately 130 cals. But everyone is different and depending on your weight, age, effort his number will be different.0

W1D5 complete! Today was 55EZ for me and let me tell you, there is nothing easy about it when just starting off. HOWEVER, I had a good time doing it. Sounds strange right? I was smiling and singing (with what breath I had).
Have a great day everyone. Kick butt today!0 -
Thanks Meli! I may have over estimated my burn then. I had used my HRM once a while back for Low HIIT 20 and I figured I could use that roughly but maybe increase the time to account for HIIT 15 since its a little more intense. That may not have been the best plan - I really need to find my HRM!
Great job Bravo! I have 55EZ scheduled for Friday, but I may have to do a little moving around of the schedule. I have a work retreat this weekend in San Antonio and I am thinking I have more downtime on Saturday than Friday. I plan on taking my portable DVD player with me and doing my workouts in my room. Today is supposed to be an off day, but I may do the Fire 30 that is scheduled for Thursday instead to make this out of town for the weekend thing work with TF!
Hope everyone has an awesome day!0 -
That's great kati. You r making turbo work with your schedule!!! So many people would just skip it but you are committed( smart idea to bring your portable DVD player. I may just invest in one for those out of town occasions).0
-
Meli - I got my DVD player on amazon for a good price. I got the purple one because it was a little cheaper, but I think it's cute
Today was supposed to be a rest day, but I did Fire 30 since I am trying to plan around this weekend. I worked out a little later than usual and didn't have as much energy as on Monday, but I got through it and got in a good sweat. Woo woo! :-D
Everyone have a great day tomorrow. Get it girls!0 -
W1D6 complete. I am looking forward to tomorrow's workout (Core 20/Stretch 40). After the first week, I need the stretch.
Kati, great job on planning and taking control of your journey. Taking along a portable DVD player is a great idea! I can't even think of there being a DVD player in my room in a recent stay at a hotel.0 -
Day 4 done!! Using a schedule I found online. Did fire 30 and tone 30!!! A day off really helped so thAt I can push harder. Already seeing a difference in my stamina and endurance!!! Yay turbo fire!!!0
-
Today I did Fire 55 EZ and I loved it! Looking forward to the Low HIIT 25 class next! Have a great day tomorrow and a wonderful weekend!!!0

Fire 30 and Stretch 10 today. First day back at it since taking a break, so it's Day 1 again. But this time I've decided to use the weighted gloves. I remember not having too much trouble with Fire 30 before, although I still got a great workout. But today was so hard. Still fun, but a real challenge. I expected it because I had already experienced the increased difficulty when I added the gloves to Turbo Jam. But knowing it was coming and actually going through it are 2 totally different things. I think that the longer workouts are really going to be rough, but the results are going to be worth it! I still can't believe the difference in calorie burn when I wear the gloves during cardio workouts. And I love that her workouts are so compatible with them. But the workout itself was great. So much fun.0
-
I tried doing turbo jam or turbo fire without the gloves and it felt strange to me. Like having some weight behind my punches:). I did fire 55 ez and I swear Chalene knows exactly when you r thinking about taping out.. Every time I thought I was going to die she changed the combo and a new pumping song would energize me. Love this workout!!! Was lots of fun!!!0

Great job everyone! Way to stick with it! I am a bit worried about staying on track going out of town this weekend. I know there are going to be food and drinks at every turn! I think I will be okay with making good choices on the food, but the drinks are going to get me. I am not a morning workout person and did not get up today to get in Fire 30 before going to the office. I don't know when I will have a chance to do it today since our flight gets in at 3 and then we have a meeting from 4-5, then cocktail hour and dinner. I can definitely do Fire 55 on Saturday because there is a lot of free time, but I really don't want to miss Fire 30 today.
On a more positive note, I have lost all of the weight that I gained with my binge last weekend and am now back to my "start" weight, so it's time for me to really get started!
Keep up the great work ladies! You are all a great inspiration to stick with this! :-D0 -
I feel your pain. I am going to camp this weekend and know I will have a struggle to not drink or eat junk especially since I haven't really had alcohol since I got pregnant. Now I am not breast feeding or pregnant so I have to rely on my willpower. I know it can be hard fitting the workout in. If you have to maybe you could do one of the shorter ones or double up on an other day. Just a couple of suggestions. Just jump back into in with more determination.0

HIIT 15 and Stretch 20 today. I was already feeling kind of sluggish without my coffee, but I pushed through. I think the weight gloves might make more of a difference in the shorter workouts than the longer ones. I wasn't expecting that. I do like the stretch routine, but I may substitute the 10 minute one for from Blogilates. I'm already pretty flexible and I'm just not feeling the stretches as much as I want. It's about 10 minutes too. I am looking forward to the 40 minute one, but while I'm adjusting to no coffee, I think 10 minutes is best. I'm doing Chalean day one later tonight! I waited a day so that the rest days match up. It works out perfectly because the Chalean workouts match up with the days when I'm doing shorter TF workouts. I'm excited for that. I love weight training.0
-
Just finished fire 45. Didn't have my shake before and can tell this affected my energy!!! I pushed through it and feel great now.0
-
I just finished Fire 55 EZ. Whew! I am sweating! Watching what I eat/drink has kind of gone out the window this weekend but at least I got in a good workout. Melissa, I may take your suggestion about doubling up and do fire 30 tomorrow too. Core and stretch 40 are on the schedule but I really hate the stretch workouts. I kind of want to skip it.0

Hi ladies,
checking in kind of late, but I'm still getting my workout in. Today I started week 2 and completed Fire 45. I felt amazing after I completed the workout.
I may try the weighted gloves after I pass the 12 week mark. My initial goal is to finish 12 weeks and then move on to the advance.
Katie, good job on getting the workout in....it shows that your mind is still in the game!
Taking one day at a time.0 -
Still sore from Ez55 yesterday! Did Fire 30/Stretch 10 today & pushed it as hard as I could...can't wait until I can jump as high as Charlene!
Tomorrow is the end of week one, I can't believe it!0 -
Funny I feel the same way about the stretch routines. I guess I need my workouts to be fast pace or I lose interest. I know it is important just feels like it takes for ever... Went hiking this weekend and camping. Weekends are hard of diet especially at camp. But this is a lifestyle change for me so I can't completely stop the things I enjoy or eating the foods I enjoy. These occasions don't happen often enough so i splurged. I know I didn't get far by the occasional splurge, it was by eating massive portions and snacking all of the time. Tomorrow is double day as I do turbo in am and aerobics in the pm.0

Day 1 of week 2. Did fire 45 after my shake this morning and was able to push even harder!!! Stretch ten as well really helped. My muscles were sore from the hiking this weekend. Still have aerobics at 6.0
-
Fire 30 and Stretch 10 today. I gave in and had coffee. I've decided not to give it up, but I'm only going to drink it black. No sugar, no cream. Just plain. It made a huge difference. I think I'm definitely going to need it for the 55 minute workout tomorrow!0
-
Just finished Fire 45 and WOW!!! That was probably the toughest one so far. Sweat is dripping off of me! I had to stop a couple of times, but the music was great and kept me going. Those back-to-back fire drills were killer! Feel great now though and so glad I did it!!!
Melissa - You are a rock star for doing Fire 45 AND aerobics - I would be exhausted!
Keep up the awesome work everyone. We are doing great!!!0 -
Today was a just push play day!!! While I was feeding my baby at 6 am I kept thinking I could go back to bed when the baby does and do my workout later but i know all too well that later doesn't always happen when you have a four month old. So I sleepily went down to the basement to crush fire 30 and sculpt 30! I am sooo happy I held strong!!! Feels so much better!0
-
Fire 55 EZ today. I thought I was going to throw up! I was winded and challenged the first time I did it no doubt. But the gloves make such a difference. But I managed to not take a break. I just told myself the sooner it was done, the sooner I could just lie on the floor in a puddle. And I did for about 15 minutes. I think the next time I do it I might modify. My knee is ever so slightly sore to the touch and I don't want to make it worse. Shame though. I love the jumping.0

Do you all think it really is bad to do HIIT workouts two days in a row? I know it says to not do them, but I got stuck at the office late yesterday and ended up not getting around to HIIT 20. I should have just done it because it is short, but I was exhausted! I want to do it today (rest day) but the next day is HIIT 15 and sculpt 30. I guess I could move workouts around so they aren't back to back, but I really don't want to if I don't have to because the rest of the workout schedule works pretty well with my week. Thoughts?0
