I was cranking the fitness a few months ago and got quite a few weeks into Turbofire (and lost quite a few kilos too which was nice). Then I let it go for a while, now I'm trying to pick it up again but every time I Turbo, my legs are insanely sore for a good couple of days after. I don't really get why this is happening this time around, but not last time. Any ideas? Should I push through and Turbo aching or settle for stretching on the days when I ache too much?

    Nice to see another person using Turbo Fire!!! My first few days were extremely rough, definitely had to work through the pain. When I end up taking a couple of days off and then re-start, I sometimes also experience soreness but it usually only lasts for a day or so. I would be careful about continuing to do the workouts if you're experiencing a lot of pain. Is it the same pains in the same places? Or are you having soreness in different places all the time? I would maybe consider also seeing a doctor in case you actually injured yourself. I have to take a break from the work outs right now since I broke my big toe Sunday, so it will be interesting to see if I have any of the same problems that you are experiencing. I hope you find out what's causing the pain for you. Turbo Fire is pretty awesome and I've been seeing great weight loss and loss of inches as well!!

    Forgot to say one thing!......Make sure that you're doing at least 1 of the Stretch 10 videos every day. Maybe for awhile you want to do the Stretch 40 video at least 3 times per week and see if that helps at all.

    I often have this same issue, but it doesn't last for more than a day at the most. Perhaps you have new muscle tissue along with more strength, so you are working more of your legs and working them even harder than before - which would explain the increased soreness I would think. That's my theory anyway. lol. I'm no expert though, but from my own experience, I seem to be more sore after workouts than I used to be. In the very beginning of starting TF though, I was very sore afterwards for about a month until I adjusted to the increased level of activity. Give it time, maybe it won't be so bad after a while. :)

    If it really is just sore muscle, I wouldn't sweat it. They say pain is just weakness leaving the body! Good luck and keep on keeping on with the TF! :heart:

    I am on week 11. Week 1 was hell. I was tiered and sore all the time, but yes I pushed through, and yes it did get better. I still get days when I’m sore, especially my legs. I think this is because you are jumping up and down and squatting for close to an hour – using your whole body weight. But I find that if I keep with it, it gets better. I find it doesn’t make it heal any quicker if I have a rest.
    Also, when I am sore and stiff – once I’ve started working out, within 5-10 minutes I feel much much better and the pain goes away.
