    I LOVE turbo fire. I admit that I dont use the workout calander that was provided with it. I went through each dvd and found the ones i like the best: fire45, fire60, hiit25 and core 30. I alternate through those weekly, I also life free weights every other day. Try to stick with it. the results are amazing!!!

    Thanks. Yeah, I want to stick with the calendar for now, at least through the prep schedule to build my strength and endurance. BUT I love my Zumba and I gotta work it in somehow. I am definitely going to stick with TF because all I hear are positive things about it.

    Wow, you girls are really doin' it! I hope I don't hate the abs workout when I get to it...that's the area I need to work the most :blushing:. I wish I could do the 5-Day Inferno, but I'm afraid I'll injure something..lol. I'm just going to stick with the prep schedule as long as I'm burning up those calories and work my way up. Do any of you ladies stick to the routine completely, you know, doing it 6 days a week? Because I was wondering if I could fit in some Zumba on the days where it's just a stretch class.

    I'm sticking with the 20 week hybrid schedule. There are definitely days when I could throw zumba in there if I had the desire to. My kids have chosen my free time activities though so I'm a hostage until school starts again. LOL

    Everyone is doing so well! Way to keep on track!

    I completed HIIT 20 today and I actually did the Stretch too, and I loved it.

    Burned a sad 152 calories.

    Have a great night!

    Okay so I did do an hour of Zumba before my Stretch 40 Class for a really great burn and welcomed stretch.

    Shakemybooty, I know what you mean about your free time. I actually felt a little guilty about exercising for so long instead of spending time with my son so I already know I won't be doing that too often.

    Mariabee, in my eyes, there is no such thing as a sad burn, as long as we're burning!

    Morning!! HIIT 20 and Tone 30 this morning. I called Chalene crazy whiile doing the plank tricep extensions. :laugh:

    Stephanie, I get up in the wee hours of the morning to workout now. I work outside the home and that takes me away from the family for 12 hours a day. I used to workout when I got home (also when I worked closer to home) but still felt guilty, whcih is why I changed my workout time to the morning. It's my little bit of time to spend on me and not feel guilty about it. Yes, I do go to bed early but by that time my kids have had enough of me. :laugh:

    55EZ & Stretch 10 today. My left knee is hurting and the bottoms of my feet. The shoes that make my knees not hurt, kill my feet. The shoes that are good on my feet, kill my knees. There is something wrong with my body. LOL

    I didn't workout yesterday. I was mentally and physically beat down. I didn't sleep all night long. The only reason that I worked out today was because I was already pumped up about finally fixing one of our computers that has been bugging the crap out of me for weeks now. The victory dance had lots of shakin goin on! :drinker:

    Good job shakemybooty!

    I've done the last few workouts bare foot, have you tried that? It's not the best for balance, but it'll probably help your feet?

    So today was HIIT 15 and Sculpt 30, burn of 195.

    Have a great Thursday!

    LOL!! I can identify! I do get up early to work out before work when I have a short workout to do, but not during the summer because we have "summer hours" at work (7 a.m. - 4 p.m.), and it's a 45 min. drive so I'd have to get up way too early. But yeah I might go back to that once the summer is over.

    Thanks, shakemybooty for mentioning your shoe issues. My knees hurt sometimes, but I had no idea it could be my shoes. What do you know...I think I'm going to have to make the sacrifice and go shoe shopping :wink: I did Tone 30 last night and while it's not my fave, it's necessary and the time goes by really quickly.

    HIIT 25 and Sculpt 30 today. Sculpt 30 was less painful than it used to be. I even managed to do the bowler's lunges without falling over. Woo hoo!!

    Cee-I'm even washing my HRM strap right now. Amazing isn't it? I know you're proud of me!!

    Stephinow-My asics gel shoes are my favorites. I have really really high arches. I think I only walk on the outer edge of my feet and the fat spot right under my big toe. My cross trainers don't have enough cushion by my big toe and they rub my feet raw. My feet hurt so bad yesterday I walked around in my brand spankin new gel shoes at home all day for some relief. Wore my gels again today and my knee feels fine (with the knee brace) and my feet don't hurt despite all the jumping in HIIT 25.

    Hi, Lizzie, welcome! I just started TF on Monday also, but I am doing the prep schedule and I am taking Wed as my rest day because I realized that it is pretty easy for me to get a workout in on the weekends since I'm off work. This is a great group!

    Welcome Lizzie!

    I cheated and :blushing: didn't do Fire 55 today because I played some tennis... boo on me. But killer burn. Same for tomorrow if the weather holds out...

    I'm planning on bringing some videos with me to do on vacation... do you guys think I should stick to the schedule, or just take a week off from the schedule and just do the shorter videos? I'm going to Vegas people, do you know how hard it's going to be to do Fire 55 in a hotel room hung over :drinker: ?? Ahhh, here come the excuses!

    Hello! I just found your thread. I started my round of Turbo Fire on 6/27/11. I am officially a fanatic, too! I feel sooo much better, and it has just been a week! Down 3 lbs (but some was related to monthly water weight:wink: )

    Hi Jflo!

    Today was HIIT 25 and Tone 30. My legs feel like rubber bands stretched to the snapping point. Hopefully that's a good thing! Happy 4th of July!

    First day of Week 2! Fire 45 EZ and Stretch 10 done. I had a really hard time completing Fire 45 today. I just wasn't in the mood in the first place and then it seemed like I just didn't have the energy. It really sucked! I hate feeling like that when I'm exercising :grumble: On the up side, I did burn 695 cals.

    Morning!! Hello there, jflo!

    Fire 45 EZ and Abs 10 this morning. I dogged it this morning though. I had a very long day yesterday, got in the bed late, eating wasn't that great (only at twice yesterday where I'm used to eating 5 times) and so my body didn't want to get out of the bed this morning. I still burned 438 calories though.

    Awesome getting that in! I just had a day like that yesterday. Good for you.

    GOOD MORNING, LADIES!!! Wow, this thread has been quite. I've had some personal stuff going on so I haven't been on here lately, but what's more is I haven't done TF in 3 days :noway:...smh. Anyway, I'm back on track and will be picking up where I left off. I did do Zumba on Wednesday though. I hope everyone is still going at. Have a great day, everyone!
