Anyone starting Turbo Fire in January?

pallasathina

I did Fire 45 today, skipped stretch and added 15 minutes of cardio.

WTG Cookie!

Pallasathina, I seem to skip the stretch a lot too ~ it's so boring!!

Fire 60 today, I burned 538 calories (BodyMedia), not bad

coachreyes

Completed TF 30 and Tone 30 this morning. Fire 55 EZ tomorrow. I love that workout so I know I'll be ready. TF 30 is almost too easy although I do like combining it with Sculpt and/or Tone. I really would feel the need for more weight work though. I will complete TF before Spring Break and then I will have a decision to make. In my mind I was going to do the TF/CE hybrid, but I am strongly considering P90x. A

For those of you hitting 400 and 500s on your burn, are you doing really high jumps? I have to modify them because of my knee. On longer exercises, I burn in the low 300s so I was wondering if that was the difference.

Only in my mind am I jumping very high lol I can't do the high jumps or the "ski", they kill my shins! I just make sure I keep moving (it seems all flailing really does burn calories) ~ what are you using to track your calories burned??

Whoo Hoo , i got my hrm today, i had to go the post office to get it , :explode: because the mailman was too lazy to deliver it to me :explode: i did HIIT 20 and burned 152 calories, i knew i wasnt burning 289 like mfp said, hope everyone had a great day :flowerforyou:

I use a Polar F6 with a chest strap.

BeLightYear

Good Morning!

Great work Cookie, just think, you burned more calories because you had to go to post office

Pallasathina, I think the polar are suppose to be pretty accurate ~ I had a timex hrm with strap that over estimating by about 40%,:noway: found that out when I got my GoWear fit:grumble: good thing I didn't eat back all my exercise calories!

My average heart rate during TurboFire is 155-175, so between 80%-95% of my max. When I get to 175, I have to slow down, I get light headed at that point. Does that help??:flowerforyou:

Today I did Fire 45EZ and Core 20. Fire 45EZ seems to really kill my shins, way too much skiing!

coachreyes

Good morning! I completed 55 EZ this morning. I am in the middle of the Cardio phase, so I have TF 45 tomorrow and back to 55 EZ again on Friday. I like this schedule so far. I am able to increase the intensity each time and can feel the improvement.

Keep up the good work. I enjoy reading the daily posts. It keeps me motivated to keep going.

Cookie22684

Completed sculpt 30 and HIIT 25 today

pallasathina

I did Hiit 20 yesterday and treadmill today. Thanks for the insight, Belightyear. Your heart rates seem reasonable.

BeLightYear

Great work again Cookie & Pallasathina!

Today was Fire 55EZ, I did it with the music pumped up, shouldn't have, I do not know it as well as I thought and kept getting lost lol My shins are really becoming an issue:sad: I had no idea what to do about it either.

coachreyes

Be light- I would like to do it with the volume pumped up, but you have me thinking maybe no. I'm not sure I have all the moves down either. I feel pretty comfortable, but I do rely on Chalene's verbal prompting.

I completed TF 45 this morning. It amazes even me how much smoother the moves become each time you do each workout. Tomorrow is 55 EZ and I am going to go all out. I really enjoy this workout. I am preparing to order the bonus DVD's and see if I can attack TF 60 next. I was thinking about doing P90x after TF, but I think I will do the TF/CE hybrid schedule.

Does anyone have a preference to Recovery drinks after their workouts? Have a great day.

Good Morning everyone,

I just found this thread and I'd love to join in! I've been doing TF since November and I am now into the advanced TF rotation. I have lost 13 lbs. so far with my goal being another 10 lbs. by the end of this advanced rotation. After that I plan to do a TF/p90x hybrid.

Today I have Fire30 and Upper20, I can't wait!! :happy:


Coach Reyes, I use the P90x Recovery formula and absolutely love it!




Everyone, have a great day and keep pushing play!!
Monique

coachreyes

Monique- Welcome to the group. I have been thinking about the P90x recovery drink. I have been using the Gatorade Recovery drinks.

Have you found a TF/P90x hybrid or are you making this up on your own. Thanks.

BeLightYear

Welcome Monique and congratulations on your results so far!

Hello everyone

Great Job Be Light and coach i also did 55 EZ today and burned 512 calories, welcome to the group monique, ok so my question is since mfp has a 500 calorie deficit and i also burned 500 more calories , how many calories should i eat ? mfp already has me at 1200, do i eat 1600 or more , thanks guys

BeLightYear

Cookie, a bit late to answer, but you would eat 1700, so that your net is 1200 for the day.

Only made it through Fire 30 this morning, bad night's sleep left me rather lethargic this morning, but I forced myself through at least one workout.

TGIF ~ I'll see you all Monday!

coachreyes

I completed 55 EZ this morning. Whew. I am in the midst of the Cardio section of TF and did this workout twice along with TF 45 this week. Tomorrow I have TF 30 and Sculpt 30 and then off for the evening to see Kid Rock. Thank goodness Sunday is a rest day.

After a long week at school I too felt a little lethargic this morning, but it didn't take long to get into the flow. That's one reason I like Chalene. She has a way of getting you going. I'm sure Shaun T and Tony Horton can also (obviously), but at this point I am very happy with TF.

mobosco

Good Morning Everyone,
Thanks you all for the warm welcome! Yesterday was Fire30 and Upper20, today I have Fire 55 ez and Abs10.

Coach Reyes,
I really love the taste of the BB recovery drink, I haven't tried the Gatorade ones yet but I may give them a try. I haven't come up with a hybrid yet for TF/P90x, what I'm thinking of doing is following p90x for strength training and TF for cardio but I really haven't put together a rotation yet.

Cookie,
As far as calories go, mfp has me at 1260 a day but I tend to burn anywhere from 500-800 cal. during my TF workouts so I usually keep my calories between 1400 and 1700 on any given day. I have had pretty good results so far.

Thanks for the welcome Belightyear!!

Everyone have a wonderful Friday and keep pushing play!!

Monique

Completed Fire 45 and stretch 10 , i burned 430 calories :happy:

coachreyes

I was a little overzealous this morning. I completed the Insanity Fit Test, TF 30 and Sculpt 30. I'm glad tomorrow is a rest day. I am spending the night in Greenville, SC so I may use the indoor pool tomorrow morning. It's been a good week and it's time to step it up. I have 7 weeks until my trip to Maui. I am cleaning up my diet and incorporating Shakeology. I plan on doing a 3 day cleanse at the end of the month.

Have a great weekend everyone. See you Monday and Ladies I hope you have a great Valentines Day.:happy:

pallasathina

I felt pretty out of sorts this weekend so I skipped TF and walked leisurely on my treadmill. I'll get at it again tomorrow.

BeLightYear

Fire 55EZ this morning, at a rather slow pace I must admit ~

coachreyes

I had a great weekend with my wife and daughter and mentally had to prepare for today. My legs were still sore from just doing the Insanity Fit Test. Guess I'm not ready for all those jumps.

I am in the middle of Week Seven and had TF 30 and Tone 30. Tomorrow is 55 EZ the workout I really enjoy. I think I am going to do the Shakeology 3 day cleanse this weekend as I try prepare to finish the final four weeks of TF.

mobosco

Hello Everyone,
Fire60 and Stretch10 today.....I'm functioning on "low" energy today...not sure what's going on with me but I will push play anyway!!

Cookie22684

Complerted Fire 55 today , BURNED 530 CALORIES, WHOO HOO

coachreyes

I just ordered the TF Advanced DVD's. I am already nervous about TF 60. I plan on finishing this round of TF and will start the TF/CE hybrid in April.

BeLightYear

mobosco, cookie & Coach ~ great work!!

Coach, Fire 60 is not that scary, there are a few extra fire drills, but it's only 5 minutes longer than your favorite Fire 55 EZ! you can do it! I am going to start the TF/CLX hybrid in June after I finish my 20 weeks of TF.

Today was Fire 30 (with music pumped up, this actually makes me pay more attention to her since I can't really hear the cues so well, no daydreaming allowed lol) and Sculpt 30.

Have a great day!

coachreyes

Thanks Be light for the encouragement. I liked the fact that there are a few more fire drills. Those are my favorite. I am finishing up the cardio portion of TF and I guess week eight is Recovery then finish with 3 weeks of HIIT.

In fact today was 55 EZ and I really do enjoy that workout. I am going to start lifting weights in the afternoons to supplement the Tone and Sculpt workouts also.

Keep it up group.
