    Happy Saturday! I cannot seem to get "It's Tricky" out of my head, I think TF 60 is calling me! Now that this darn cold/flu thing is gone, I can't wait to hit it Monday morning!........"It's tricky to rap a rhyme that's right on time, it's tricky"......:tongue:

    Fire 30 this morning, Felt good! I think I will be mixing up TF and TJ. Tomorrow will be HIIT 20 & Upper 20 :)
    Happy Monday!

    I also had TF 30 this morning. I had a great weekend and felt strong this morning. I really had a great workout. I was able to complete my morning with Push Circuit 3. I begin the Lean Circuit phase on Wednesday. I have 4 weeks until Spring Break so I need to continue my workouts and clean up my eating on the weekends. I'm really good during the week and allow myself some "extra" calories on the weekends, but I need to be stricter on myself on the weekends. I was able to get in some golf on Saturday afternoon and took some kids to a pole vaulting coach yesterday afternoon. I hope you all have a great day!

    I am finishing up TF week 8. This morning was 45 EZ for the 3rd time in 6 days. My goal was to beat my calorie burn and MET range on my Bodymedia and I am happy to announce that I accomplished this. I also had a great night's sleep. I keep learning that sleep is a very important part of this process and I need to get it when I can. My daughter has 3 softball games this week and we have our first track meet on Thursday, so that might cut it down a little. I hope you are pushing play and let's do this together.:smile:

    HIIT 20 and Upper 20 this morning. I think I'll probably be sore tomorrow!

    I realized that I have 50 days to my 40th birthday, how did that happen?:noway: :noway: . I have upped my calories goals on my Bodymedia, hoping for that 600 a day calorie deficit, that would (in mathematical theory anyways) get me to my goal weight by then.

    This means that I will probably be hitting the higher burn TF & TJ workouts because I would rather burn more than eat less:blushing:

    Great job as always Coach, always happy to see you've logged in here. Let's kill this:bigsmile:

    I'd love to hear what kind of results you all are getting. I have 25lbs to lose to get to my first goal and am doing Turbo Jam now. I don't feel like I have seen lots of results. My measurements are almost exactly the same as when I started. Was thinking of upping it a bit and doing either Turbo Fire or Chalean Extreme.

    Safire ~ TF is basically a faster version of TJ. I completed the 20 weeks last year and lost 10 pounds. I get about the same calorie burn doing either. It is fun to switch them up though!

    I have also completed the Chalean Extreme, didn't lose much weight, but lost 11 inches.........and gained a lot of strength.

    Today was TJ Cardio Party 3, great workout, but 10 of the 50 minutes is a giant cool down, very annoying to me:tongue:

    Happy Wednesday!

    Welcome Saphire.

    Personally I lost more inches doing Chalean Extreme, although I did lose 20 lbs in the process. I really noticed the weight loss when I did TF and I attribute that to the cardio. Sometimes you just have to be patient and experiment with your diet. Log your calories on MFP keep pressing play. Keep a note of the sodium in your diet, drink plenty of water and sleep (this is always easier said than done.) :smile:

    Speaking of CE, this morning I began the Lean Phase. I enjoy the Lean Circuit I'm looking forward to this last phase. I also did Core 20. Tomorrow I start TF Week 9 and this next phase is full of HIIT workouts.

    Be Light, I love your workouts.

    Have a great day.

    Started Week 9 this morning. It was HIIT 15 and Stretch 10. I hope this will really get the metabolism going as I am adding in Lean Circuit 3 times a week. Track season is starting today so my work day will be getting longer.

    Have a great day.

    Coach, HIIT and Lean should totally get your metabolism revved up!

    Fire 45 today, that is a tough one. I did realize that I have no idea what the words are to the first 2 songs, even after over a year:laugh: , but at least I know the moves!

    My display device was showing that I was burning 9.3 calories per minute during most of that workout, nice.......have to love the after burn effect of TF.

    And you really hit it with this:
    Sometimes you just have to be patient and experiment with your diet.

    I am so glad it is almost Friday! It's been a tough week at work.

    Happy Thursday :)

    TJ Cardio Party 2 this morning. Love that one, and Chalene's comment "what the stomachs" cracks me up every time!

    8.5 was my calorie per minute average for that one, not too shabby!

    Happy Friday everyone!

    After a long day and night last night I slept in today. I am taking a rest day today and will resume workouts tomorrow. I also get a chance to see my daughter compete in softball tonight.

    I had a 3 lb weight loss this week and was ready to jump into another workout, but I reminded myself that it's not alway bad to utilize the rest day. It's more of a mental health day as well.

    TGIF and don't forget to Push Play!

    I'm finishing Week 12 this week! I am in so much better shape. I will be measuring on Sunday. I know for a fact that my thighs and calves are smaller.

    Now my question is: Do I start over with Week 1? Where do I go from here? Opinions welcome, please.

    I'm in finishing week 10 and was wondering the same. I think I might do either C25K or the CX/Turbo Fire hybrid

    Have you considered ordering the advanced set? I have those and love them! TF 60 is the best (in my opinion):flowerforyou:

    I'm with Be Light. If you think the first 12 weeks was fun you'll love the Advanced Workouts. HIIT 30 is an awesome workout.

    The other option is the TF/CE hyrbrid. I was going to try the hybrid but I didn't think I would get enough cardio. Personally, I am doing the first 12 weeks of TF in the AM and then I do CE 3 times a week in the PM. I will try to post the workout I have followed since Jan 1. So far I have lost 21 lbs in 8 weeks.

    Of course, the other options are to do Insanity, P90x, etc. Personally I enjoy TF and although I am doing Round Two I am still getting better at it and at increasing my intensity.

    What a great week I've had. According to my Bodymedia I have set my 3 highest calorie burns this week alone. Thursday I set my highest level of physical activity as well.

    I hope you all have a great weekend.

    I love when that little alert shows up while syncing my armband ~ 3 in one week is amazing! Congratulations Coach, you have earned it!

    TF 60 this morning, minus a 9 minute skip on the dvd:angry: I have cleaned the DVD and am hoping it will work again since it is my all time favorite:sad: :cry:

    Happy Saturday!

    Must be a bad week for DVD's. My CE skipped during Lean Circuit 2. It went back to the beginning. I ended up skipping to the next chapter and was able to continue the workout. I got in HIIT 15 tonight after a drive back from the beach.

    People are so funny. Last night we were walking to dinner and some girls were wearing micro mini's. It was freezing cold out to. Then today we went to the Tanger Outlets and girls are walking around in short shorts. Believe me, it's still cold out so at least people watching was a success. Oh well, I had a little break, a great dinner and now I'm ready for a great week.

    Maybe we are wearing them out Coach!

    TF 30 this morning, I must admit it was not with much umph, but I did it!

    Happy Monday!

    I see the teenagers around here wearing shorts all year round, even when it is in the 20's outside! Not sure what is going on, I do know that my Mom would have never let us out of the house like that!:tongue::noway:

    I slept in this morning as I'm trying to catch up on my sleep. I have a light day planned so I'll do 55 EZ this afternoon. It's my favorite workout so I know I'll get it in and I have something to look forward to. I do enjoy working out first thing in the morning though, so I'll get back into the routine tomorrow. The warm weather is back so that's encouraging and I'm making plans to golf this weekend. :smile:

    I hope you all have a great start to the week.

    Had to update from this morning. I did 55 EZ this afternoon. Have to admit it was hard coming inside with the weather a little warmer and the extra daylight. I 'll be back in the morning.

    Fire 55 this morning, with the window open! It was actually already 58˚ outside here in NY, unheard of, I love it! 60's all week (30's at night, but that's okay, I'll be sleeping then:tongue: ).

    I really enjoy Fire 55 this morning, first time with my new glasses, who know that Chalene has only 2 arms:laugh: :laugh: And only having 2 fire drills in the middle of the workout, priceless.

    Happy Tuesday!

    Just as I promised I'm back in the AM. I love getting my workouts done before school. It gives me the energy to get through the day. Today was HIIT 20. This is one of my least favorite HIIT workouts. I can't seem to get the calorie burn as the others. I combined it with CE Lean Circuit 3 and that is a really good workout. I am having trouble with my CE DVD though and that is aggravating me at the moment.

    Great job Be Light. 2 fire drills and 2 finales make this a great workout. It's supposed to be near the 80's this week in SC. I'm not getting to use my fireplace much this winter.

    Have a great day!

    Fire 45EZ this morning, nothing easy about it! It is the one that I have to modify the most though, so much jumping. Still a nice 420 burn and I love the finale in that one.

    Happy Hump Day!

    Great job Be Light. I like 45 EZ a little bit more each time. This morning I did TF 30. I felt really good and attacked this workout this morning. I think I may have set another record on my MET Range on the bodymedia. I'm going to look back at the other times I did TF 30 to compare. I'm not really sure how I feel about the HIIT weeks. I know the HIIT workout will help with my cardio overall, but I like the feeling of doing cardio daily.

    I will be in Florida in 21 days, so I need to keep these workouts going strong. It's been in the 80's here so it's been pleasant to be at track practice each afternoon. I'm actually kinda spoiled to this weather.

    Have a great day!

    What do you think of the new "nagging" part of Body Media? The one that tells you to ride a bike if they think your calorie burn is too low? I like it and find it almost to be a challenge when it tells me I will be under my calorie goal for the day!

    I like it. I like it more when it tells me good job staying below your calories, etc. :smile:

    HIIT 20 and Lean Circuit One this morning. According to my bodymedia I hit the Vigorous Activity higher during HIIT 15. I have HIIT 25 coming up so I'll be interested to see what I hit on that. I think the bodymedia has been a HUGE bonus in my journey. It is really motivating and I love to beat my "best" each time.

    I have TF 45 on the schedule tomorrow but the ladies at school want to do TF 30. Decisions, decisions.

    Oh well, have a great day!
