Today was fire 45 day. I am mainly suprised by my cardio and strength gains. My body is suprising me with what it can do. It also looks like my body is changing for the better. I can't wait to see what I look like in another 10 weeks! My labs are on the 17th! I'm hoping for positive results.0

Good evening all!!!!
I did Tfire 30, Sculpt 30 and some Tracy Anderson today! Felt good! Looking forward to my rest day tomorrow which will more than likely be some stretching and yoga!
PW- I am hoping great things for your lab too! Just imagine how great you are going to look and feel by the end of this challenge! Oh and I did push ups today, just because and well- WOW I can't believe how easy they were! LOL When I started I could barely do 3! LOL So I feel ya, it's coming! Change that is!
Becka- Hmmm, no idea about the BP question. Although I will say that at a free zumba class and fitness testing (just blood pressure and body fat percentage) my BP was bit high and she said not to worry about it since my heart rate was elevated. Soooo, that is all I can tell ya! Sorry, wish I had more for ya!
Amanda- good to have you back! Yes jump in! And don't feel bad, a week isn't that long of time! We are still here for you! 0 -

Fire 55 EZ today :-) loving that one!
Oh...ChaLean extreme arrived today, looks kinda scary...glad I've got a bit to go yet before I start it!
BP back down to its normal self today - 110/70 now THATS more like it! I didn't exercise until I got back from the Dr's, so I wonder if it could have been the work out I did before I last went? Crazy!
Can't believe we're all halfway through another week- still loving it? Hope so!0 -
GOOD MORNING! I feel sooooo good! I am sipping my green smoothie, about to go on a walk and then come home and do some stretching!
It's my rest day and well I want to walk! It's only 66 degree out! OMG ! Just last week it was in the 100s! I love this weather! This is the time of AZ where the weather rocks! September is bearable, but October-June are PERFECT! Have a great day all!
RUSS- welcome! Join us! Day 2? Awesome! You will be at day 10 before you know it, than week 3 and then goal tracking at week 4! Keep it up! POst in here everyday! IT totally makes a difference!
Becka- I am sure working out was all it was! Glad to hear it's normal again! ALso, thanks for your kind words! ALWAYS INSPIRING T ME TOO!!!! 0 -
Nearly busted another week of Turbo Fire!!! Woohoo!
How are we all doing? What's planned for the weekend?
Did my last HIIT for the 1st month today and then some resistance band work, man, my biceps are SORE!!! That must mean good, right?!!
Also...1st time since starting TF....I lost a lb! Stayed off the scales all week (well, except when I had to step on for the doc, but I didn't count those as weigh ins), staying off was a lot easier than I thought...gonna do the same for this week and then will try to make it fortnightly...that's the plan,
Hope everyone has a great weekend :-)0 -
I started on October 3rd & I'm loving this already
Today is Fire 55 EZ for me today (one I haven't done yet) so I'm looking forward to it ....0 -
Hello all! MAN, I'm feeling FAB-U-LOUS! LOL
I bumped up my 45 minute workout today to Fire60!! Why? Because I felt like it and crushed it! It's fantastic and i can tell i'm in MUCH better shape than I was when I tried it before. It was tiring, but I found that it wasn't that much harder than 45 or 55! SO I may start throwing it in when I have the time and energy! I also did Sculpt 30 and Yoga Meltdown for some stretching! FELT GREAT!
This weekend is a great one! Todd and I are going to finish painting all the flowers for my parents yard and their anniversary. We also are making a cake and well, just trying to get everything done! I have another date with my bestfriend tomorrow to look for some new work shoes! YAY! LOL WORK! LOL We also are going to get a veggie pita sometime because she has free coupons! Who doesn't like free pitas!?!?!? LOL
Sunday we are watching football and having lunch with my parents! We are bringing a cake and then we'll be on our way! That is the evening that we will sneak back to their house and decocorate their yard! at like 1am! LOL It will be fun and fun for their friends to come pick them up for brunch and see the display too!
So tha is what I am doing! I'm excited! Then next weekend, the weekend before I start work, I will be going up to North to snow to play with my best friend and her dog! might try to get out hiking but we'll see how cold it is! LOL
The windows are open, the air is crisp, the down alternative comforter and fresh sheets are on the bed, the cats are happy to have the fresh air again and well- I AM LOVING LIFE!
I hope you are doing well!
Oh and next week I am stepping it up! It will be week 8 and I want to weigh in around 140 pounds! That means I am shooting for a 5 pound loss, so we'll see how I do! It's also the last week I will have that is free without working, so I really want to take advantage while I still have the "open schedule!" Have a great great great weekend and if I'm not on, you know why. Knee deep in shopping, eating, celebrating my new job, painting and cake decorating, family time and sneakin around in the dark! LOL PEACE
Welcome Miss Anjy! You will love Tfire55! It's one of my favorites! Post in here and let us know how you are doing, if you need help or just want to get to know us! This program works! Keep to it!
Becka- GOOD FOR YOU! It all starts with just a pound! SO GOOD FOR YOU ! KEEP IT UP!!!0 -
Liking Turbo Fire had to miss Thursday (was just too unwell). However did rest of the week so far. I have enjoyed it so far... However I would say my style is not elegant but I am sure by end of the 20 weeks I will be bit more graceful..0
-
GOOD MORNING! Well, I am about to do Tfire and then out for a big day and home to do lots of baking! I hope you are all doing great!
hey Russell- you will SO get the moves! The good thing is that once you learn her lingo and the basic steps you will have known all the dvds! What i mean by that is that once you learn clockwork, they are the same in all the dvds! So don't give up! Good for you and keep on going with it! Great job! 0 -
I am on day 5 of TurboFire, hope its ok that I post in here since I'm pretty far behind everyone else lol
So far I love it
Just hopping I can stick to it and get down to my goal before my hubby returns from deployment 0 -
Well I was looking for a Turbo Fire forum and this is what I found....I am new to Turbo Fire and started it on 10/7. I am hoping that I can stick to this as I have seen awesome results on here from some of my MFP'ers that have done it for a few rounds....I have JM 30 DS and never got past 5 days straight but its something about Chalene that makes me wanna turn her on every day. I know maybe Im too late but I will be checking on you guys daily and posting my thoughts, concerns and victories with my TF. Did the HIIT 15 today and it was awesome, had to follow the low impact for some of the jumps but I gave it my all and b4 I knew it, over...Yes!!! I always do the stretch, jus because I dont think it will hurt...anywho's....see u guys 2morrow!!!0

MINNIE- TOO ALL 3 OF YOU- so glad you found us! 0 -
Thanks
Day 7 for me today, which means CORE 20 and STRETCH 40, not really looking forward to 40 minutes of stretching.... lol0 -
Ha! Fwiw Minnie, I've only ever managed about 30 of that one...I just keep thinking of all the other things I could be doing....
Did fire 45 and stretch 10 - that's week 4 done and dusted!0 -
I did about 2 months of P90x last summer and it has a Yoga dvd that is an hour and half long! So I keep telling myself, this one is only 40 minutes... i can do it... lol but yoga is just go boring to me lol0

Hellooo, I've been quietly watching you turbofire folk while I muddle my way through the 30 day shred (gonna turbo fire after) but stiff as all hell today so I thought I might indulge in a little stretch 40. Yeeeeeees, I feel much better now, Minnie, Becka, do the stretching, it's good for yooooou. (Even if there is a teeny, tiny goofy bit of meditation tacked on the end ha ha "now relax").
Does anyone know, does stretching really burn calories? My HRM reckons 110 for a 40 minute session, which is pretty good really, the same amount that I would burn going for a casual walk. I'm starting to realise aerobics workouts are like the take away food of exercise (quick and effective and I love them, but you can't live off of them alone).0 -

^^^Nice!!
Am going to really try and do more than 30 min of the stretch 40....really I am....honest!0 -
Core 20 and Stretch 40 today. I'd rather do Fire55 but I know I need to stretch too. Just finished week 6! Only 14 more to go. (that's sounds like a lot!)0
-
Did fire 55 EZ today, on week 5, so still a while to go. I felt like I jumped my highest during the fire drills :-)0

Happy Monday everyone!!!
I decided to redo week 10 since I got sick last week. So I just finished HIIT 20 and Tone 30. I followed Allie a little more than I ususally do, but I expect to be back fully within a week. I so missed working out! (Never thought I'd say that) and it's good to be back.
Welcome all newcomers!!! We are glad to have you join us!!
I'm hoping to lose another 1.5 pounds within the next two weeks. That will put me at a 17 pound loss, which will be 10% of my weight before I return to the doctor. I have repeat labs next Monday and a consultation the following Monday.
Here's a total NSV: My body looks soooo different from week 1! I'm moving towards a more toned and sleek body! I have arm muscles and a whisper of abs!! The pants I bought a few weeks ago are a little loose!! I also feel so much better and have tons more energy. It helps me to work better and give more to others. So I'm glad to be working out. It's changing me for the better.
Off to the store!! I hope everyone has a great day!!!0 -
Yay look at all these posts! Good morning! I feel great today! my abs are BIT sore from doing a crazy pilates core workout instead of core20! And boy, am I glad I did it because I CAN FEEL MY ABS TODAY! LOL While I like core20 I just don't get that "I worked my abs" feeling so I am switching it up from now on. I do love teh standing abs, but I think I get enough of that in other workouts!
So here's my plan this week. It's week 8 and last week well, was tough. There was a lot of odd things going on, money things, celebration of my new job things timing things and then we found out some bad news this weekend and it was my parent's anniversary and I ate more than I would have liked. And by things, I mean food and goodies and cocktails! LOL
It's not that I even went over calories, it's more that I eat so healthy most of the time that breads, sugars from non fruits and salt makes me so bloated! I know I haven't really gained weight, but I feel more something. LOL So back on track this week and super excited about it! It's also the last week before I could start my new job, sooooo I want to really utilize my time and I am going to be doing a more advanced session. I am bumping up all my cardios from 45 minutes to either 55 or 60. I am also adding on 15 minutes or yoga a day for stretching and well- eating VERY clean! I want my body to be in good shape for this new job! It's hard to lose weight when starting a new schedule and so I just want to make sure that I am ready for it! I haven't lost 15 pounds only to gaine them all back! LOL
SOOOOO LET"S DO THIS! LET'S ROCK OUT ANOTHER WEEK!
OH AND GUESS WHAT?!?!?!? So let's finish strong! Great day and weeks to everyone!
75 Days
12 Hours
41 Minutes
MINNIE- The strething can get boring, but yes do it! If not that stretching yoga, than do one online from youtube, or make up your own routine. I sub in different 45-60 minute yoga workouts by Shiva Rea sometimes. But the stretching WILL Help your workouts for the rest of the week!
PW- you can do it! I am so proud of you! Hard to believe you are on week 11, well 10! LOL I know what you mean, my body is more defined too! This morning I looked in the mirror in my workout clothes and realized, I HAVE OBLIQUES! Well, kinda! LOL I still gotta lose numbers to get them to show through more, but sure a far cry from "cheese bread belly" back at week 1! LOL
Becka- great job! I am doing fire 55 today too! You are on week 5, you are 1/4 way though! That is great, keep going! I can't believe i'm on week 8 today! DANG!
Icey- GOOD FOR YOU!!!! LOL 14 does sound like a lot, but you are doing t! We are all doing it! I can't believe that i'm two weeks away from 10 weeks, which is only half way! LOL BUT, it's good because this will keep us fit during the holidays!
1a1a- I have found the stretching to be rather accurate here. I mean it depends on how hard you stretch, but i'd say the estimate is pretty good! Glad to have you aboard! How is 30 ds going? I was doing it for the first 30 days of my Tfire schedule, but it got to be too much! LOL 0 -
I know I should be doing the stretching... lol so I will make an extra effort to complete the entire 40 minutes of it.
I have Fire 45 today =D and I can definitely feel my abs from yesterdays core 20!!!0 -
Jus finished day 3....Fire 30, Stretch 10....my HRM says I burned 512 cals...I will assume its accurate....it was a good workout for me though...I am determined to make it through Turbo Fire...taking it week by week!!!0

thats around what mine tells me I've burned that workout too. Im worried that my HRM isnt accurate though... it only asks for my gender and age then calculates my HR while Im working out... i hope its right!! lol0 -
Hey can I join!. Just started TurboFire Saturday. So today was my rest day. Really looking forward to the workout in the morning . I'm also finishing up 30DS. Should be done Thursday with it. 0
-
Welcome Jataijah! Hope you're loving TF
I did fire 30, core 20 & sculpt 30, ending with stretch 10... I was this close to going for stretch 40...but as I'd worked out for nearly an hour and a half, I was feeling pretty tired...lame excuse, I know :indifferent:
Gotta get over my stretch 40 apathy!
Oh...and I think my HRM has gone to the great HRM home in the sky....was logging bizarre amounts during fire 30....took it off and calculated my burn from previous exercises. Guess I'll have to start saving for a new one :frown:0 -
3 cheers for stretching, and its calorie burning qualities!
I'm actually quite enjoying the shred, once I'm done yelling at Jillian for making us do planks and work our biceps and jump up and down all the time (usually 3 or 4 days into a level). I finished day 3 level 3 today, I'm generally not pushing too hard to begin with, following Anita if things are tiring me out, I push a little harder when I'm running out of days, I'll be interested to repeat it later trying harder, maybe eating cleaner. Any lost inches, strong muscles and weight loss I get out it will all be a little bit of icing on the cake for me, I only took it up as a challenge just to see if I could (not knowing in advance what benefits it might bring....I was pleasantly surprised).
Becka: Before you abandon your HRM, see if it's getting a little flaky in its monitoring. I look at mine sometimes and see it's stuck on a number and has lost the heart beat. Perhaps this happens increasingly as the batteries drain, anyway, aside from emphatic remoistening, I also realised at some point that it wasn't quite centred, now I pay extra close attention to centreing too and it seems to be struggling less.0
