vhuber...no worries! I got mine off Ebay too! And then I would get confused when Chalene would say "I will see you tomorrow!" on the DVD..haha! I did Burn Circuit 2 last night...and my hamstrings are dying today!! I used heavier weights last night...and WOW!!!
Tonight I ran my 4.5 miles...and again couldn't quite get to 5 miles like I did last Wednesday. Soon though!! I did up my MPH. Unfortunately I can't run outside because of ice and snow...bummer. But, I was doing 6.6mph! Felt pretty great!0 -
Wednesday - did 20 min workout and Ab Jam. I really love the way the time passes so quickly and you are like "we are already done". I am feeling energized after each workout. Love it.
Have a wonderful Hump Day.0 -

To help your muscles, you could go for a short little run 10-15 minutes....and then do a LONNNNNG stretch! That usually helps the soreness in my muscles and "wakes" them up a bit after a hard workout from the previous day.0 -
Good evening Jammers! So its already Wednesday again! Wow the weeks seem to just fly by..I cannot believe how cold it is getting here:frown: Can't believe next week is Thanksgiving already..it will be Christmas before you know it! UGH! I am SO not prepared!:explode:
Anyway, so it's Wednesday-my rest day
I am trying so hard to not think about working out..all day at work I debated coming home and doing just a short workout-BUT I know my body needs its rest time also..and so to combat my guilt I showered right away after work..lol! I can't be the only one who gets this way am I??! Tomorrow is CE again, and possibly a short cardio like 20 min TJ...we'll see. I always push harder on the weekends so I should be proud and give my body the rest it deserves
Hope everyone is having a great Wednesday! Not sure if I mentioned, but I did order TurboKick Volume1 and says it shipped so woooo! Hopefully soon, maybe by the weekend I can work with that!
Have a good night all!0 -
Good morning ladies.
I did TJ Cardio Party Mix 1 this morning. I have really enjoyed these last few days and TJ. You really don't feel like you are working out. I am starting to feel my abs getting sore which makes me feel good to know that I am doing it correctly.
I do have a question - I got the hand weights - when are you suppose to use those? I know it says in the guidebook you can use them for greater burn. So does that mean you just use them when you want to? Can you use them with any workout?
Thanks for your help.
lilangel - yes it is hard to believe Thanksgiving is next week and Christmas is 5 weeks away - yikes. Glad you are giving your body that well deserved rest day.
limestar - I did get hungry when I lifted heavy so your metabolism is probably in overdrive. great work0 -
Hi Jammers!
So today was my last workday of the week! woohoo! Time for some kick-butt weekend workouts! haha:laugh: I was super excited to see when I got home today that my TURBOKICK is HERE!! YAY!!! I am planning a long run tomorrow morning, but if the weather doesn't hold out-I might be trying that instead! Otherwise, Saturday AM I've got a date with Turbokick!
I got sent home from work early-which usually sucks-but was okay today..I managed to work Burn3 in as well as rock out a TJ CardioPartyRemix! So a larger burn than I was planning on tonight! That's always a plus! Just about to eat dinner, then relax and sleep....
Hope you all had a great Thursday! I will check in after tomorrow's AM workout!0 -
So I usually feel really guilty when I take one rest day....but I took one last night and tonight....and I am feeling SUPER guilty!! I have just had a lot of stuff going on the last few nights. But, tomorrow is a cardio and lifting day. I'm going to do both to make up. Part of me thinks taking 2 rest days in a row may be okay, but the other part is screaming! I did Pilates this morning...but that never feels like it actually "counts"!!!!!!!!!!
Lilangel- you'll have to let me know if you like the Fan version of Turbo Kick. I have the instructor DVDs, since I am certified to teach it, so the music is a little different. I know Erika liked it (where is she??), but I know its a little different than my Turbo Kick DVD.
Kimberly- If you are just getting used to the moves, it might be easier to hold-off on the weights for now. Get the moves down and after a few weeks add the gloves, and you can do them with just about any of the DVDs. It DEFINITELY burns a lot more and gives a better workout! My arms, chest, abs are getting a lot more toned. ITs a great way to burn extra calories. I couldn't figure out how to wear them though at first..haha.. wear them so that the "bulge/bubble" parts are on the inside of your hand when you make your fist. Before I was wearing that on the outside of my hand, not as easy to grip.
Limestar- I totally get WAY hungry the day after I do lifting...its definitely the metabolism in overdrive. I usually make sure to pack a lot of healthy snacks for the day.
Have a great Friday ladies!!! ANy fun plans for ya???0 -
today i am sore from doin lean phase 2. i felt so good that i did 20 min of tj. today im doing burn intervals and extreme abs. i have another question is it okay to do the ab workout for all your workouts. i do it with my lean circuit and cardio, so i do it 5 times a week, is it okay or should i do it once a week like it says in the calendar?0

Hey ladies! So the rain put a ka-bosh on my running plans this AM:explode: ..so instead I popped in my new TurboKick dvd. I started with the TurboKick 101..just because I had no idea what to expect really-:laugh: I loved it! I loved it so much I did it twice to really give me approx the same burn (little less:ohwell: ) as running for an hour..the 101 is only 30 minutes, so I paired it up! Tomorrow I hope the weather is nicer, just because I love getting out while I still can. The weather is going to change here fast, and I gotta take advantage of those nice AM's! I am getting a gym membership the beginning of December though, so I can treadmill it during the winter. I also am going to pick up yoga and other classes that interest me there, as well as weight training But for now its outdoors running and home workouts-keeping up on my CE and TJs
limestar-I might have a different thought on this but, my understanding is that it is NOT good to overtrain your abs-really only 2-3 x's a week is sufficient..most of the ab definition comes from eating cleanly (taking out most processed foods/refined sugars, etc) I was doing ab training almost everyday at one point, and not seeing much result-as soon as I backed off though, switched up my ab routines--whoa! It really worked! I usually only train my abs 2, maybe 3 times a week. Hope that helps!
Have a good rest of morning/afternoon everyone!

Morning ladies
I did Cardio Party again this morning. Getting better at putting things together.
lilangel sorry you didn't get your run in but sounds like you had a good workout anyway
limestar - i use to workout abs every night but I changed to 2-3 times a week and I feel it is more effective too. plus you don't realize how much ab work you do by just doing the workouts
kicklikeagirl - thanks for the tip. i will give it a few weeks and try the weights added. don't feel guilty about taking the rest time you will make up for it I am sure0 -
thanks kholmes and lilangel7671. i will just do the ab extreme on my cardio days. i just did my burn interval n im tired. treated myself for a thin crust chicken pizza yum. my bro came to visit so i said hey i workd so hard time to celebrate. i lost 2 inches off my waist. went from 28 inches to 26inches. my goal is 24inches. hope to getting there soon.0

Morning Jammers! I had an interesting AM..lol I had to go really early to get some bloodwork done, so I was anticipating no AM run today
...I had to fast from early last night to this AM and woke up STARVING! lol..Anyways...the bloodwork went well, and I still got back in time to do a 6-miler! I am so happy..I wasn't sure how I would feel afterward, but I was fine..took a fruit leather with me just in case ..The rest of today is going to a coworkers party this afternoon which is quite the drive away..then home and church tonight . I think its going to be chicken enchiladas for dindin tonight!:happy: YUM!
Have a great day everyone! I look forward to hearing your Saturday fitness accomplishments!:drinker:0 -

I am so happy..:
:noway: No way...you did a 6 miler????!?!?!?! Thats AWESOME!!! I hope I get there soon....I'm still trying to get to my 5 miles!!!
Saturday was a tough day since I took 2 days rest. But, I was able to get my 5 mile run in. I had to really push myself because I was dog-tired from my rest. But, I guess my little extra day rest was okay, I must be confusing my body because I lost 2 pounds this week. Crazy! On Saturday evening my husband wanted to do CE Burn, so we did Circuit 3, and it felt so good. I really pushed myself and used heavier weights....I can feel the burn!!!
Tonight is Cardio/ChaLean Extreme night...I haven't decided what I want to do for cardio. Depends on the hubby!0 -
Hey jammers! I hope your Mondays' went well
Thanks Dawna, yea 6-miles is my longest run for now..hehe! I am actually looking at doing a Turkey Trot this Thursday and debating between the 5K or 10K...I usually run my 6 miles so I think the 10K would be totally possible..but this would be my first race, so I don't know if I want to go right into a longer distance or not..:ohwell: Any thoughts? It also depends on the weather and such..its about an hours drive for me since my town isn't hosting one:grumble: .
Tonight was CE Lean 2, I just circulate the CE program now:drinker: I love keeping up on my strength training! I'm kinda excited to join the gym though, by next week I will hopefully be there too!
Tomorrow is Burn Intervals and Extreme Abs for me! I've got a busy day scheduled at work but I WILL push myself to do my planned workout tomorrow night! WOO! haha
Have a great night everyone!0 -
Night everyone
I started a new job today so I am a little tired but excited about the possibilities.
I got up and did TJ 20 min and then got ready early for work. I used the weights to get a little more calorie burn. I am still liking the program. Hoping to stick with it for the 2 months then go back to CE.
lilangel - great job on the 6 mile. I am not a runner but my husband is so I understand the committement. I say if you are feeling it go for the 10K. Have something to push you. Let us know how you do
kicklikeaGirl - glad your husband is still hanging in with you. Your 5 mile is still great. Keep up the good work0 -
Good Morning ladies!
Last night I did Turbo Kick Round 33 (45 minutes) and CE Burn 1. I am in my 3rd week of CE and I love it! I love doing it 3 times a week in conjunction with my cardio. I have seen some rapid results the last few weeks. I'm thinking that I'll hit a plateau within the next 10 pounds of my weightloss. So, I'm planning on re-vamping my workout schedule. I like mixing things up to keep my body guessing. I've also had a goal this last week to push myself beyond what I THINK I can do. If I keep doing that I think I'll be able to make it past my plateau.
Lilangel- I would try the 10K too... you can do it! :flowerforyou: I bet the adrennaline will rush over you and you will push yourself harder!! Keep us updated! How long does it usually take you to run your 6-miler? Just curious so I have something to "benchmark" my runs to! And maybe someday get to that point..haha!
Kholmes- Congrats on the new job! :flowerforyou: Did you like using the weights for TJ? I love using them, I get such a great arm/chest/ab workout. Its great! Have you done Turbo Sculpt? Its a lot different than CE, in the way that it is strength training combined with cardio. It definitely gets me huffing and puffing!!
Have a great Tuesday!0 -
Happy Tuesday ladies! I am super excited about my Turkey Trot! I hope I can actually make it-It is quite the drive, and the weather might not hold--but we will see that morning! Thanks everyone for the encouragement-I think I will try the 10k! I definitely think the adrenaline rush will push me! WOOHOO! I'll keep ya posted!
Anyway, today was a SUPER crazy day at work-but I still kicked my butt into gear once home and did Burn Intervals and Extreme Abs-love that one! Tomorrow we are closing at noon for an early holiday-so yay no work til Monday! I am taking advantage of the time off (usually Wednesdays are my rest day) but I just can't! I'll relax after my race Thursday ..I'm thinking I am going to try out TurboKick Round 28 tomorrow afternoon and probably get some CE strength in as well.
I am so proud of you girls! Keep up the great work!
OH-Dawna, usually my 6-milers take me about 45-50 minutes. I run a pretty fast pace-somewhere near an 8 minute mile. I am hoping that the race pace for Thursday is not any faster because then I'm not sure how I'll do:huh: ..haha
Have a great night! Check in tomorrow 0 -
Sorry I have't posted in a few days.
Tuesday I did 20 min TJ and Ab Jam.
Wednesday Cardio Party Mix 1.
lilangel - good luck on your Turkey Trot. Let us know how you do
kicklikeagirl - I am planning to do Turbo Sculpt tomorrow morning. I have been slowing getting into it. I started on the beginner schedule but I have been changing it up to add a little more push. I have been using the weights to add a little extra calorie burn. So far so good. I will let you know how hte Turbo Sculpt is.
Also, with your plateau. I plateaued during Burn phase for 2 weeks too. So maybe it has something to do with the program. Don't give up and keep up the good work.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving.0 -
Good evening Jammers! It was a half-day of work for me today-WOOHOO! So I got home, grabbed some lunch and about an hour later rocked out with TurboKick Round28! Was a blast-but HARD! Haha--I guess it really will take a few times of doing the same workout to catch on..but I was lost for a few small parts of it Kept my head up and tried my best though, and still managed to burn around 360 calories! If that wasn't enough, I decided I wanted some strength training too but didn't want to do CE..sooo I decided to Booty Sculpt! haha-It's been awhile since I've done that one and it felt good:drinker:
I hope you are all having great Wednesday successes as I did! It's usually my rest day, but I figured after my (hopefully..fingers crossed for weather and such) run tomorrow I will relax with some family Thanks for all the encouragement, I'll keep y'all posted!
Have a great night everyone! I'm hittin the hay:yawn: -I've got an early morning planned because of the drive, and want to be well rested!0 -
Hey Jammers! Today was a busy day at work...you'd think there was a holiday this weekend or something?? Haha! Last night I had my rest day....although I'm sad to say it wasn't a "planned" rest day. I just had a lot to do. So, thats my rest day for the week. Tonight I got a great workout in. I did the 60 minute Turbo Kick Round 32, and CE Burn 2. So, I got like 100 minutes in for workout tonight...yahoo!!!
Lilangel- glad you liked Turbo Kick Round 28- i love the full length rounds, they are INTENSE!!! good luck on your run tomorrow!!
Kholmes- thanks for the advice on the plateau! are you enjoying Turbo Jam? I really enjoyed the Cardio Party mix...it gets the calories burnin!!
Have a great Thanksgiving!!!0 -
Hey turbo jammers. I just started turbo jam last week and still getting used to it. today I did the 20minute workout, which I lilked. tomorrow I think I'll try cardio party.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!0 -
Has anyone tried beachbody's nutrition supplement shakeology? Heard the stuff is great... they talk about it at customizedworkoutplans.com0

Happy Thanksgiving Jammers!!! I just got back from my first race-10K Turkey Trot!!!! :bigsmile: I am SO happy, I feel great! What an accomplishment:drinker:
Now I'm going to relax and enjoy Thanksgiving with my family. The plan is out to eat around 4pm actually-I've never had Thanksgiving where we ate out, but guess gram made the reservations:ohwell: We are going to this cute little sit down Inn where they serve really great food, so it should be okay..just hoping to keep it clean as I can:huh: .
Anyway, I feel on top of the world today, even though I didn't really run anymore than usual...lol, guess it's just the rush! Thanks again everyone for the support! Hope your all having a fantastic Turkey Day!!0 -
wtg Lilangel! I know the feeling0

Morning JAmmers!!
Way to go LilAngel!! You are such a motivator! I'm glad you decided to do the 10K, I knew you could do it!!
I felt great this morning. I woke up early...my husband went to play football with the boys this morning, so I got up and did my 60 minute Turbo Kick and then I did Turbo Sculpt. I forgot how tired I get when I do Turbo Sculpt. Then I did Extreme Abs. Holy COW! I couldn't finish... because my stomach muscles were twitching so crazy-like! Now I won't feel so bad for Thanksgiving dinner. I'm not going to go overboard, but I am going to enjoy!!
Have a great day!!!0 -
well i did bad yesterday. i gained 2 lbs. hopefully that is all water from the sodium. today i will do my burn interval and ima squeeze in tj still undecided if i should do the 20 min jam or the 40 min turbo party. point is i am going to do 2 cardios.0

Good morning everyone
lilangel - glad your turkey trot went well. way to go. what an accomplishment
kicklikeagirl - great job on yesterday.
limestar - just get back on track. your plan sounds great.
nolachick - welcome. i am on week two of turbo jam i am still combining and working out with different routines but next week I think I will start following week 3 of beginners.
So yesterday I did Turbo Sculpt in the morning. kicklikeagirl - i liked it but i haven't decided how i like it compared to CE . We went for a 40 min walk after lunch so I think I did ok
This morning I did 20 min and was going to do ab jam but my son woke up so I will try later.
Have a great day0 -
feeling good. i just finished my burn interval and instead of 5lbs i used 8lbs. the 5lbs were getting realy light but i dk if i should of keep doing the 5lbs. if yall think its bad to use the 8lbs let me know and next time ill go bk to 5lbs. yup the weight that i gained was water woohoo. i am also happy because i noticed that my bk fat is going away. i do not have that bk bra bulge. i know tmi but im happy.0

Good Morning Jammers! Yesterday was a great day! Well..the weather is getting bad here..freeeezing plus it rained ALL day yesterday, and HAILED! UGH! Anyway, I got up and did another TurboKick Round 28-MUCH easier this time! Burned more calories also!!! WOOOHOO! :laugh: I also fit my abs workout in before lunch, and in the afternoon decided on a much needed CE-did Burn 1. It's been awhile since I did that one, and it felt good Today I really should take the rest day I skipped on Wednesday..but it's killing me to have a day off and not burn some calories! AHH..any suggestions? I thought about dragging down all the X-mas decorations and keeping myself busy with that...lugging those boxes down from the attic by myself has GOT to burn something-haha. I suppose I deserve a day of rest after a hard week..it's just so hard for me to not workout! 0
