Welcome! Tell us a little about your goals!

Thefitnessvixen

I started this group to help Support you in your fitness journey!Please tell ue a little about yourself and some of your goals,so that we all can help motivate each other! Support is KEY in this journey to being healthy!!

I am a mother of three, that has always had an interest in fitness but could never find something for the "long run". Now I have found it and want to share what I have found with you! Let me help you reach your goals! I have done Slim and 6,Brazil Butt lift,Turbo Fire,P90X,INSANITY,and will be getting Les Mills PUMP next week! I am a Beachbody Coach and love helping others reach the goals that they set for themselves.I have learned that in life, you cannot inspire someone to truly take action and CHANGE with words alone.. You have to FIRST be willing to TAKE ACTION yourself and reach outside your comfort level to prove to them that it CAN be DONE! Because of this, I strive to be in a constant state of growth via personal development and new challenges. I am motivated by lofty goals and things that seem impossible to others, because I love defying the odds and playing by my own rules!
Please feel free to "friend"me I love meeting and connecting with new people!

Hi there,
I am doing Insanity for the second time around. I started it last May and got to 40 days and saw great results but kind of lost track over the summer and didn't really get back into it. Now, my husband and I are back at it! My goal is to lose 30 lbs that I have gained over the last 8 years of being married and having kids. Thanks for the group! I love Insanity! We also have P-90X but haven't done it yet. Do you recommend mixing it up? Or completing the 60 days of Insanity and then moving on to P-90X? Also, I don't have a heart rate monitor yet and was wondering approx. how many calories are burned during the 40 minute Insanity workouts?

Thanks again!

Hello
I've done several Beach body programs and really love the company and what they stand for. I started 3 years ago when I turned 50 with Ten Minute Trainer (TMT). After that I have done Chalean Extreme several times,Insanity, Turbo Fire and P90X. Now I am doing Turbo Fire/P90X Hybrid. I like variety so the 90 programs are great for me. In the beginning I only wanted to lose 10 lbs, but now I've lost 20 lbs. Maintenance seems to be the most difficult for me. Any suggestions???

Hi,
Personally, I'm not interested in spending a lot of money on videos and equipment. I do have an ongoing gym membership and all I need to know is how to get the best results the fastest. I've been working out and dieting on and off for 12 years and have never been able to maintain my motivation, even though I've actually been working out steadily for the last 2 years. I should by a dynamo by now, but because of all the yo-yo exercising and dieting, I keep delaying my progress and feeling worse about it every time. If this is the place to find and maintain motivation, count me in!

If you do INSANITY and P90X I am thinking you might over train,I would just do INSANITY then P90X when you are done.I think that P90X will be a great change for your body,since it is not that much cardio,but strength training.You will get some of the fat off with INSANITY then tone and lean out with P90X.

fourthirtyten

Hi! :-) I'm 28 and live in Maryland. I lost 40 lbs in 2011 and hoping to lose another 20-30 this year before. I did a round of TurboFire last summer - and then school started, so I slipped a bit. I got ChaLEAN Extreme for Christmas so I'm currently doing a TurboFire/CLX hybrid. I absolutely ADORE Chalene and simply cannot get enough of her and her programs! :-)

Looking forward to this group! Anyone can feel free to add me! :-)

Hey! I'm married with 3 kids, most recently 9 months! I just turned 30 in December. I started TurboFire yesterday...I have about 40 lbs to lose. I did 2 days of TJ before I started yesterday so I'm a little sore and I'm so excited for my rest day tomorrow! :bigsmile:

Hi, I have been doing insanity for about a week now, my goal is to be slimmer at the end of the 60days. After this I would like to try the Insanity Asylum, anybody know what that is about ?

Hello Everyone!

I am a 32 year old mother of 5 who has decided to take on a healthier lifestyle. Right now, I am in the gym and doing Zumba. I am looking to invest in either Turbo Fire, Insanity, or both. I'm not really sure which to do first. My overall weight loss goal is 65 pounds with 6 lost so far. I not only want to lose weight, but I want to tone and increase my endurance and stamina. I also plan on purchasing a heart rate monitor once I purchase these series in order to get an accurate guage of what I'm burning. I look forward to all that you all have to sharing as well as sharing with you in return. Best wishes!!

MissMamaK

Hello, I am a 28 year old mother of 2 and need to get back into shape. I got really into training and going to the gym after I had my first son...I even wanted to be in professional bikini/figure competitions and was well on my way until I found out I was pregnant with my 2nd son. I am back to working full time and have found such a hard time trying to get that mind set back to where it was before I had my babies. It just so happens now, that my husband and I are finally going to have an actual wedding at the end of this year. I bought a wedding dress that was my pre-baby #2 size as a little extra motivation to drop the lbs. I have been doing the Brazil Butt Lift from home in the morning before work, and even doing some light weight training and 20 minutes of cardio during my lunch break at work (we have a gym upstairs in my office - which makes me have absolutely NO excuses whatsoever). I haven't had much luck so far with the weight loss though and don't seem to be dropping a whole lot yet...am I doing something wrong? Should I crack down harder on my diet? HELP! My goal is to lose 35 lbs!!

REALLY look at your diet! Also you might want to up your cardio.How often are you lifting??How mAny times are you eating and what are you eating??These really make a difference in your journey....also ahve you taken your measurments??They (inches)sometimes are the first thing to start to drop...instead of the weight!

Insanity on CRACK lol

DirtyHippieFeet

Hi! I'm 26, I have a 5 year old daughter, and I'm finishing up my first week of Insanity. I did it a couple years ago, but I stopped when we were moving; the I ran out of room with all the boxes in the living room, and once I got out of the habit, I never got back into it. Anyway, water under the bridge. I've started again with renewed ambition. When I finish Insanity, I am really jonesing to try out TurboFire; my goal is to lose 55 pounds by the end of July.

Thanks for starting this group!

sara243

Hello everyone! I am in week 3 of BBL~ Tough workout this morning with Cardio Axe AND Bum Bum, but I made it through and burned over 600 calories!!! I got the Brazil Butt Lift program in December and did 2 weeks, through to New Year's Day, then took a couple weeks off because I was sick. Back on track and started my 3rd week yesterday. Some parts of the workouts are getting easier as I learn the routines, but I like having all the different programs to work with and it keeps things fresh.I do wear a HR monitor to keep track of my workouts and it makes things easier and I feel more accountable. I'd like to loose 25-30 lbs before summer, and get my old body back... wish me luck.

Hi! I was a member of a gym for a couple of years and we all know sometimes you just don't make it there as often as we'd like. I discovered Beachbody products a little over a year ago and it made sense. They are a one time fraction of the cost of gym memberships and you have them for life. I'm sure if you ask your friends, a few of them will have have a program that you could try out and borrow. My favorite one is Insanity - you don't need any equipment, just your own body weight and it does wonders on your body and stamina. Just a tip. Good luck!

mslang528

Hello all! I am 26 years old and looking to be a more fit and lean "me". I've always been small, only standing at 5'1 and I'm very petite. I am what you would consider "skinny fat", carrying most of my weight in my belly. I had no endurance, no upper body strength, and no stamina. I discovered Insanity early 2011 and did it to get in shape for my May wedding. It definitely cut down a couple of inches in my mid section and gave me strength. I loved it!
Anyway, during the past 7 months, the husband and I put working out in the back burner and we've both gained a little happy weight.
We are now trying to whip ourselves back into shape and I am in search of that flat stomach that's been eluding me all my life!
We are week 3 into Insanity.
Just wanted to share with ya'll and hope I can make friends along the way!

I'm looking into trying Beach Body products

I'm a 25 year old stay at home mom of 4 (ages 8 months-5.5 yrs old.) My days are pretty structured around the house so I'm looking for something I can get results doing (toning and losing weight)at home when the kids are napping or in bed for the night. I have a friend who I can borrow the videos from, but I'm trying to decide which to do. I tried P90x about 2 years ago, but it was way above my ability level and I got discouraged quickly. I need something I can do at my fitness level and that doesn't need extra weights or equipment with it. My goal is to be a size 11/12 and my weight in the range of 135-145. I haven't been a size 11/12 since middle school, so I'm not sure how much I'll weigh when I get there.

Hello! I am 29, and I a mother to 2 young kids (2 & 5 years old). I also work full time and am studying at night to pass an exam for my job. A few months ago I decided that I have lost most of my extra weight, but I wasn't in the shape I wanted to be in. "Skinny fat" is a good way to put it. I bought ChaLean Extreme and started exercising first thing in the morning, about 4:45 am. This is my last week of the 3 month program. I have gotten a lot stronger, it gave me energy, and although I have only lost an additional 2 lbs, my body has changed a lot.

Next week I plan on starting Insanity. I am a little nervious about not lifting weights for 2 months, but I am planning to do the full program anyways. After that I want to do an Insanity/CXL hybrid. Has anyone else done that hybrid before?

I am always looking a a good support group and friends with similar goals.

Karri_Lynn

Hello All! I am a very busy 26 year old! I am just 2 days away from completing my first round of Insanity! On monday I will be starting a p90x/ insanity hybrid. I have talked to a few people who say they achieved great results from the combo. I have lost all the weight that I really need to lose (except that damn stubborn thigh fat) and now i am just looking to really tone everything up. Hopefully this hybrid gives me the results I am looking for. Anyone else tried it?

Hello everyone! I am currently on Week 2, Day 12 of Turbo Fire. I purchased the program over a year ago after I'd had alot of success with Chalene's Turbo Jam. I lost over 60 pounds! Sadly, after breaking up with my fiance, I ate my way through my misery and I'm back up 50 pounds. I never finished Turbo Fire; however, this time, I promised myself that I would do it and that I would reach my goal of 135 pounds. I have alot to lose, probably more than any of you in this group but I have the same amount of will and determination if not more.

My goal is to finish Turbo Fire in August and then start P90X.

WickedGarden

I'm on my 11th week of P90x-lost maybe 8 lbs. Been eating clean (80-90% of the time) since Jan.

Haven't seen much of a difference between my Day 30 and Day 60 pics so I'm a bit bummed.

Thinking about doing another round of P90x and doing the lean version, but not sure if I should do that or P90x2...my muffin top is beyond stubborn!
