I did HIIT 20 + Sculpt 30 yesterday, and will be doing Fire 55EZ today. I loved HIIT 20, yesterday was the first time I'd done it, and I always feel it the next day after doing Sculpt or Tone! My right side is definitely stronger than my left so I'm working to improve my left side, too.0

SLR - me too....first time for both actually (I've been skipping the "toning and strength" workouts the first few weeks). I did like the HIIT 20. I had been doing the Low HIITs but wanted a change.
I missed Fire 55 this morning. I couldn't get out of bed. I might switch around a bit and do the stretch this evening. I feel like I need it. do the 55 workout tomorrow.
I really want to start running again too but I want to make it through one round of TF!! they need to make a hybrid schedule for running and TF :happy:0 -
@Amber in the Janelle Summers Hybrid they say run or do this so I guess that could work for your kinda hybrid.
I personally hate running. I used to run track and was pretty good at it but always got shine splints. No more running for me. I know Charlean and Janelle are runners, I think that is why it says that in the CLX/TF hybrid. Glad you like it you can run extra for me. LOL 0 -
Hi everyone! I'm starting Turbo Fire tomorrow, 2/23. I've done random TF workouts here and there, but I've never fully committed to following the schedule. Well that all changes tomorrow, as I'm following the 12-week schedule and will most likely do the full 20-week schedule. But for now, I'm taking things one week at a time!
I'm glad to see there's a TF group on here.

Hey everyone! My TF is on its way and I'll be doing the fire starter or whatever the one is that she sends in the email when it ships. Can't wait to get started0

Did Hiit 25 for the first time....LOVED IT!0

Turbo Fire Day 2 - HIIT 15 and Lower 20 DONE! 346 cals burned
Let me just say, that those little 15 minutes in HIIT 15 literally kicked my tail! Wow, what a jam-packed workout! I added TF Lower 20 to my workout because I really need to work on my lower body. It's definitely my 'trouble' area - hips, booty and thighs, ugh. I think I'll add Lower 20 at least 3X a week.
My obliques were really sore from Fire 30 yesterday too. My abs felt tight all day; guess that's a good thing.
Tomorrow is a scheduled 'rest' day. Question is, should I really rest or do something?

Monie, taking a rest day is up to you. I know TF recommends it, in fact I was surprised to see in the disclaimer that you shouldn't do it more than 3 or 4 days in a row, considering the schedule has you doing it for 6 days in a row before a rest day. I, personally don't take one, I usually go back to my "first love" Jillian Michaels.0

@Starlage How'd the shoe search go? Hope your feet get some relief!
My daughter and I are now sick with strep! I haven't been sick in years and this has knocked me on my *kitten*!:sick: I didn't do yesterdays Fire 30/Abs 10 and just rested with the hopes of feeling better and making it up today - ha! I woke up feeling worse. Anyway, I did do my Core 20 and 20 minutes of pilates this morning. I plan on doing today's Stretch 40 and making up Abs 10 at some point today, but the intensity of Fire 30 will have to wait.
@Poeticmoe Some weeks I take an official rest day and others I don't, just listen to your body and don't over do it. I'd said when I got to the advanced dvds, I would... but I've still been trying to add in extra strength routines. When I first started, I was so pumped to have found a fitness program I loved I added to many extra workouts and burnt myself out a little. I actually want to tak more rest days once I finish up the 20 week program, but it is hard for me trying to find a good balance of family, work and working out.0 -
hey ladies! Sorry, I disappeared from our group for a day or two there
I ended up taking an additional rest day on Thursday. My poor feet weren't up for a workout and my energy was low once I got home from work. I also have been eating a bit more than my goal, but still controlled. I think my body's enjoyed the extra calories because I woke up today to a new number on the scale! An itty bitty change from my low from last week, but still new low. New scale numbers are always exciting! 147.8 this morning! That's only .2 down from last week, but I'll take it. Any change is good for me. I got back to working out Friday but could only get through 25 or 30 mins of cardio. My foot was KILLING me by the end of that. Argh. Saturday, went to the specialty shoe store and had someone help me- look at my gait, etc. He says my right foot supinates (rolls out to the side a bit) and my left foot looks fine (ironic to me since the left one is the one that's bothering me so much). I explained everything that was going on and he helped me choose a shoe- super suportive and cushy. Worked out with it last night and was able to get through 55ez without much pain! Success. However, I think they're a tad on the too tight side to today or tomorrow's workout I need to see if I can loosen them at all or if I need to go back and find a wider shoe. After I took my shoes off there was a little red spot on the top of my left foot big toe joint- so the shoe was too tight there. But they said I could bring them back to exchange if they didn't work out. The real test will be Monday's workout when I will have worked a whole day walking around, so we'll see. I'm hopeful though! Stupid feet. Oh they also recommended better socks. He said it makes a big difference, and since I didn't have much pain during my workout he must be right! The socks are super cushy on the bottom, almost like having an extra pad in your shoe.0 -
@dym - Actually I think they meant the HIITs... don't do those ones back to back or more than 3 or 4 times a week. But the other ones are all good!
That makes sense, I didn't actually read the whole thing, I just happened to catch that section and thought I would go back and read the whole thing because it seemed odd...though you'd think I would have by now considering I just completed week 10.
@starlage, that's great about the shoes, that's what I had to do, sure I had to pay a little extra going to a specialty store, but it was worth it, since I could return the shoe within 30 days if they didn't work out. I ended up getting a running shoe, now I can get through the workouts no problem.0 -
