Well I was supposed to do Fire 45 this morning but had a date with my trainer instead (last session). I'm probably going to switch and do a low HIIT instead since it will be evening.0

Starting week 10 today...whooooooo!0

I started week 15 today! Fire 60/Stretch 10 and guess what girls? My Fire 60 played with no problems, I just had to put in on my laptop! Hooray, I love that workout! My dvd player is possesed and started skipping through every workout this weekend, slightly scratching them in the process grr and then it would turn itself off. It is harder for me to foolow the moves on the laptop, but heck if it plays my dvds nicely I'll make it work!
I mainted my weight on my official weigh in this am, which is what I'm trying to do now. I am striving to wear my weighted gloves for at least 20 minutes of each fire workout. I've also decided to add in the CLX burn circuit 1 (bonus found on the Tone/Sculpt dvd) to my weekly workouts 2xs a week since my focus is now on toning and strength instead of weight loss.
Have a wonderful week everyone and keep calm and Turbo on!:laugh:0 -
Hi ladies, Today I did CLX burn intrvals and a HIIT 25. Long workout. You do CLX frist then the HIIT i was already shakey after the burn and then just tried not to fall over on the HIIT. LOL, got a great burn cause I was alrady tired and pushed hard. I am feeling like I have recouped as far as my pulled muscles go so YAY!!!! Hope you all are pushing play.
@Butterfly I love fire 60 so much fun. can you hook your laptop to the TV so you can veiw it better? My SIL does this when her and my bro watch movies Our DVD player shuts off when we are watching a movie if it goes to long, it's like it just gets to hot.

Had a 'not soo fab' eating weekend - BUT: Started week 8 today & went HARD! I'm excited, this is the farest I've ever been with any program... I love with the sweat! - can't wait to see my end results.0

I'm just starting week 4 and excited to get to where all of you are!
I don't think i have turbo 60. is it in the advanced pack?0 -
I'm brand new to Turbo Fire and returning to the working out scene in general. I'm SO excited to start up this week. I'm thrilled to have found your group, too. I tried getting into a FB group but they "required" Shakeology and I don't have it. I'm happy to have found all of you! Have a great day!0

Hey guys!
I'm restarting TF today, so Fire 30 for me. I previously lost 20 doing up to week 8, and of course eating better. I have since maintained, so I do believe in eating more than 1200, and not gaining. I will definitely be dropping in here for motivation!0 -
ok, week 3 day 4- first time doing tone 30- liked it! It was boring but definitely a good workout! I could barely complete some of the reps. I did HIIT 30 again instead of HIIT 15 (I just don't see the point. Yes, good workout. But 15 mins? Too short for me. I prefer and hour of exercise).
butterfly, so glad you figured the fire 60 dvd thing out!!!
amber, yeah fire 60's part of the advanced pack. I was lucky enough to have the set I got off ebay to include the advanced dvds so I jumped right into a 20 week schedule that includes the advanced dvds. Love it!
jmaguil4, Good for you for maintianing! That's the hardest part. I personaly think eating 1200 cals is ridiculous. It's too little! People that lose on that will never maintain easily in the long run. I'm eating 1800-1900 a day and losing slowly but surely.
casper- welcome! The group waxes and wanes with how chatty everyone is, but we're always dropping back by at some point! Good for you for coming back to exercise! So important to find something you enjoy and can do long term That's silly about the other group REQUIRING shakeology. Geez.
Vini, Good work getting through that workout and congrats on the no pulled muscle thing, woohoo!
dym, week 10, wow! Flies by I'm sure. I can't believe I'm already half way through week three!
mrstravo- if I get past week 4 it'll be the longest i've ever stuck with one program also! I get bored and end up switching to other exercises. I'm thinking since I enjoy TF so much and there's enough variety with the dvds I won't get bored. And a bad eating weekend? Oh well. You'll get back on it today!!0 -
Good evening ladies!
I had a really off week last week and I restarted Week 10 today. HIIT 20 and Tone 30 all done. My goal for this week is just to finish the week.
Hope you all have a good week!0 -
Hey everyone! Hope everybody had a great Monday I did Fire 45 + Stretch 10 today. It was my first time doing Fire 45, so i did the new to class option. Still got a great burn, but I think it would've been a better burn without my heart rate coming down like it did during each breakdown segment. That is one tough workout and it doesn't even seem so bad until you're done! I'm sore tonight (in a good way)!
Low HIIT 25 + Stretch 10 for me tomorrow, though I may do core 20 also. We'll see I just really love the core workout. 0 -
Finally got around to restarting yesterday with Fire 30 (crushed it!) but woke up with a hideous migraine this morning. Resting throughout the day and fingers crossed I'll feel up to HIIT 15 later on.
I worked out in the evening after dinner, which is new for me as I've always been a morning person but it's not possible at the moment. As I was full, I didn't feel like eating anything after exercising and I think that may have caused the migraine. Going to try some Greek yoghurt after HIIT 15 tonight.
Have a great workout everyone!0 -
yea - I didn't care for HIIT 15, I didn't even feel like I really got a workout. I remember I could barely walk the next day after the first time I did the toning. I can't remember if that is this week or next week for me....I haven't done it in a while..
Low HIIT 25 today...0 -
gah! Busy workday today. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to be busy vs. bored but it sure cuts into my internet goofing off time! LOL! Sounds like you're all doing great today! My BMF is prediting a 2900+ burn- wow! Busy workday for sure. The sinus specialist I assist was in clinic 8-330 today so I was moving around all day. After I got home I did 45ez and stretch 10 and burned 470 calories! I hadn't done that one for over a week, so I had fun with it. Off to find dinner now, and I've got enough calories for CHOCOLATE! My favorite is ghiradelli sea salt soiree. It's super dark chocolate with almonds and sea salt, it's super low sugar- almost healthy! LOL.0

Hi All
I'm still getting over my week in Vegas. I've gained 5lb from a full week of eating all sorts of food and drinking huge cocktails. I'm still trying to recover from the 11 hour flight home,the 8 hour time difference and the terrible diet I consumed, my sleep pattern is still a bit all over the place. Something popped in my ear on take off, which has caused me slight vertigo so a bit unsteady on my feet also. I was doing so well with TF before I went and was hoping to be back to it by now I'm now aiming to get back into the programme from the start next Monday, hoping all dizziness will have gone by then. Fingers crossed anyway! 0 -
Week 4 day 3...since I went to the trainer on Monday instead of doing Turbo 45, I made it up today...on my rest day. I hadn't done that one in a long time and I had only done it once before so a lot of it was new to me.0

rest day for me today! 0

Yesterday was my 100th day of Turbofire! :bigsmile: That is huge for me because I have never stuck with any fitness program for longer than 30 days (and I hated every workout of the shred btw). Just a few months ago my weight was going up and I was feeling stressed, flabby, angry and exhausted all the time. Turbofire has changed all of that! I'm 20lbs lighter, toned, have tons more energy and a positive attitude. It has truly triggered a lifestyle change for me.
Anyway, yesterday was fire 45 ez/stretch 10. This used to be my least favorite workout of the set because one section would leave me completely out of breath, but I can power straight through the whole routine and it has become one of my favorites!
Today was rest, but I did clx burn circuit 1.
I tried to enter the Turbo contest, but I cannot get my entry to submit. I am not starting the program over though, I'd just use my pics and stats from a few weeks ago. I thought the rules said as long as they were from the past year it was ok?0 -
100 days of TF! What an inspiration!
I also have a history of lapsing on programmes do I really hope this time it's for good.
I just couldn't workout on my migraine day so took that as rest and caught up with HIIT15 yesterday. I also added Cord 20 and a 20 min yoga routine to stretch out afterwards.
Tonight will be Fire 30. Can't wait!0 -
Butterfly~ Congrats on 100 days of TF! That is so great to have come this far! Woo hoo!
Yesterday was Rest day but I jumped on the elliptical instead. Today is HIIT25/Sculpt 30. I'll do the HIIT 25 and skip out on Sculpt 30 and do CLX Burn Circuit 1 instead.
This 10th week is my longest ever on a dvd workout program. I've never made it this far in and I still have 10 weeks to go. I'm starting to get bored and am now incorporating some weight training to the mix and adding a couple days of the elliptical to my weeks. It's not that I'm in a hurry...I'm starting to feel like I need more. Turbo Fire is turning me into a monster. LOL.
Anyway, I hope you're all pressing play and have a great rest of the week!0 -
I did Fire 60/Upper 20 today. I'm seeing more muscle tone in my arms for sure, but man some of the moves in upper 20 are really hard to push through. I'm getting all my scheduled workouts for the week in, but switching up the calander a tad so I have my rest day or a shorter or easier workout on the days I have to work.0

12 weeks of Turbofire and all I got was a this t-shirt
0 -
Yay for the T-shirt! I know they're a little heavy on the marketing and coach networks but Beachbody sure know how to motivate you! I wonder if they ship the tees internationally (I'm in the UK).
Had an awesome Fire 30 workout tonight. I enjoyed it so much and have a face like a beetroot!
Going to get 20 minutes of yoga in before bed.0 -
Well, I officially feel like an old lady at 29. I've had big toe joint pain for a couple of years now, off and on- doesn't affect my walking at all, it hurts AFTER activity when I'm sitting. So, 2 years ago my doctor got an xray to check for abnormalities and told me that there is an itty bitty bunion forming there and that I have the physical makeup for them to re-form if it goes away or to get worse as I get older. I didn't think much of it because the pain really was off and on and was brief- didn't bother me a lot. ALL THROUGH the nine months I was running regularly? No increase in pain. Jump to the beginning of this year when I started exercising 6 days a week with turbofire/ turbo jam? AUGH. Pain's increased. Apparently the jumping and pivoting movements are more upsetting to my poor little foot than running is. I emailed my doctor and asked her what I should do. She doesn't think a specialist is necessary yet, she thinks I can do things myself to correct the bunion and heal it. To start, she wants me to go somewhere where I can get athletic shoes properly fitted and have someone assess my gait since I just buy regular old $50 shoes from a department store. So i'll head to a specialty store this weekend called Shoes-n-feet that has a machine that assesses things and where they can help me get proper insoles and shoes (Ouch, I'm sure this won't be cheap. Good thing I just got my tax refund recently!). I don't wear heels regularly- I actually wear dansko clogs most of the time, but she thinks I need more padding around the joint to cushion it. There are streches and decives you can buy and wear at night that have helped some people but haven't been medically proven to help- but hey, worth a try right? So this will be my newest challenge to overcome. The pain towards the end of my TF workouts has gotten worse and worse. So today I'm just going to do whatever workout I feel like doing and definitely not a HIIT. Damn feet, I should have known- my grandma has horrible feet and I tend to take after her physically/medically. *sigh*
Butterfly, cute pics!! 100 days of TF is no joke!!
kiekie, migraines- augh! I feel your pain. I get those once every month or two. Miserable.
preshusgem, good for you for exercising on your rest day! I look so forward to my rest days. Especially lately with the foot pain!0 -
LOL, that's cute butterfly. How do you get a shirt? I did 20 weeks and I want one too. I forget how you get one. I have been pushing play. I did fire 60 today. I was to do fire 30 20 min intrval run and 5 mins of curnchs. Makes no sense to me to do that so I did fire 60 and got a great sweat on. I like this schudle it's intense for my better, then the CLX/TF hybrid beachbody gives you. Don't get me wrong I wasn't ready at that time for a harder one, just that it would be to easy for me now. I am doing her CLX/TF Janelle Summers hybrid. For anyone looking for an other mix of schedule here is a link:
http://soreyfitness.com/beachbody-hybrid-workouts/
I don't know her or anything just came up when I searched the schedule. Keep pushing play ladies!!!! 0 -
congrats on the 100 days!
I want a shirt...I need to submit my measurements and beginning photo...0 -
That's freakin amazing, butterfly.
I've decided that the only routine I like in Fire 45 class is the finale and that's the one Chalene messes up!0 -
I wonder if Janelle Summers is Chalene Johnson's sister. I know her sister Janelle is in Turbo Fire and the one Chalean Extreme workout I have.0

Yes, Janelle Summers is Chalene's little sister. It's in the Meet the Cast at the end of the workouts and on CLX's Burn Circuit 1.0 -
