I might have lied, ha ha after Low HIIT 20 yesterday and almost 90 minutes of shoveling all together, I can barely walk. I am SO sore. I might try one of the stretch dvds, but probably not gonna go forward to Fire Starter and Stretch 10 again. I'm doing the Fire Starter schedule in the Super Gym, dunno if anyone else is/ has done that one. Looks like I do Fire 40 the next day, and the Fire Starter again on Saturday, I would assume to master some of the moves.0

I just finished my first TF workout! Fire Starter was fun! I'm looking forward to officially starting the 12 weeks on Monday0

Thanks for the welcome guys I totally enjoyed my work out my fourteen yr old even comment she felt she could go longer and coming from a teenager that says alot. Charlene has converted my teenager in one month whoohoo.
She still hasnt given up her un healthy foods but has now happily eats salads when it shows up on her plate and since she feels so full she has no room for those after dinner snacks. I have tricked her LOL.
Husband joined in today since he came home early and he gave up and sat on the steps. lol.. he thought we were nuts but he is skinny fat so i just continued away i felt so empowered today like I accomplished something so great just with completing this one month. WHOOO HOOO. BRING ON MONTH 2 FIRE55ez tommorrow0 -
Just realized I did the wrong workout yesterday. Whoops! It was supposed to be HIIT 15, but I did Fire45- oh well. I am taking tonight as a rest day, was going to go with a weekend day but, today is it for this week at least. TOM has me run down. Think tomorrow will be better, though. Will make sure I follow the schedule tomorrow. Lol0
-
I did Fire 45 tonight, and I'll probably do it tomorrow night too. My schedule is all over the place right now with hurting my arm/elbow, but I'm going to get back on track before I leave for Florida on friday! goal is to workout everyday until next Friday!0

Hi Ladies, Boy you have all been busy. I had a lot of posts to read
I am glad everyone is doing good, having fun and pushing play. I checked out your photos and saw the progress so exciting. I also have my schudles hanging every where so I can get excited too! I always take my rest day as sunday, no matter what program I do. They just give you a schudle to go by but it's not set in stone 
So today I did fire 60. Man I really love that one. The music is AWESOME. Oh and don't be fulled by the name the cool down is like 8 mins and you are done before 60 mins is up. Not sure why they named it that, it should be fire 55. Just cause it isn't 60 mins, it will still kick your butt.!!!!!! Charlean says in the dvd it's just like running 8 miles. It's intense but like I said I love it!!! I really like the lower 20 and upper 20. If you think the scuplts are tough, 20 mins and your burnin. I also enjoy the abs more she does so much better in the advanced set. (Just what I think) Have a great night ladies! Keep pushing play! 0 -
Hello ladies and new ladies!
It's been a crazy hectic week last week so this week I am redoing Week 11. Switched out my rest day yesterday and just did Fire 45 (My fave). I love the last 15 minute combos with "Boom I got your boyfriend". I didn't want it to end. I surely got my 2nd wind and my 3rd and 4th wind. LOL. It felt great to do Stretch 10.
I was supposed to do Sculpt 30 on Monday and I sub'd CLX: Burn Circuit 1 (bonus dvd) instead. Loved it!
Keep pressing "play" and "you're not tired"!
Always remember, strive to be a better person than you were yesterday!0 -
dym- a polar, what a fun toy! I had wanted one for a long time, but then ultimately decided to spend the money on the bodymedia fit. Have fun!
cnlargent- sounds like you're doing great at listening to your body.
junebug- I never did the firestarter because I had already been doing turbojam for so long, good to know it's fun! Welcome to your TF schedule!!
parny- that's so awesome your family's doing it together sometimes! What fun!
april- I swap my workouts around during the week a lot, no big deal I think. I think the goal is just to not do HIITs back to back and mix in strength 2-3 times a week.
slroggeman- hope your elbow's improving! I'm sure you're eager to get back to regular TF!
vini- good to know the fire 60 and lower/upper 20 are so fun! I can't wait to get to those!!
my rest day has been faaaaabulous but work was SO BUSY again. I had another workday where I was out of my seat more than I was in it, so my bmf burn for today is projected at over 2500- that's without exercise! Amazes me something how high my TDEE gets with just my normal life. I haven't decided yet whether I'll do another rest day tomorrow or just get back to it. I definitely decided to take a maintanence break though. Your metabolism needs thats break every once and awhile. I've been eating at a deficit for the most part of the last three months, so it's about time. I've been extra hungry this past week, so today I just decided to eat at maintenance, ended around 2500 cals for the day and decided to do it for the next week before going back to the 20-25% cut I've been doing. 0 -
<=== And I decided to go back to one of my favorite comparison shots. Me in 2008 at my heaviest and me a last summer when I was about the weight I've gotten back to now (before christmas gain). 0
-
I think by the weekend I'll be able to make up the strength classes, which I'm really excited for! I hate being off the schedule but at least I could work out today! My HRM strap needed to be washed again so I didn't get the burn from that and had to estimate tonight but ah, well, next time (aka tomorrow) it should be working and I'll get an accurate burn.0
-
Morning ladies!
Turbo Fire Day 13 - Fire 45 and Stretch 10 DONE and in the books for today! 508 cals burned
I just LOVE Fire 45! That last set with "Boom I Got Your Boyfriend" is the best! As tired as I am, I'm really pushing during that part. Funny how music can get you moving and excited. And finishing off with Stretch 10 is like icing on the cake. I'm pumped! Lol
Guess what? "You are NOT tired!!"
Monie0 -
@monie- fire 45's my favorite too! I got that dvd a month before I got the whole set, so I had done it a number of times and already fallen in love with it, but even now after having tried most of the dvds I still love that one best. Boom I got your boyfriend gets me pumped too! LOL. Such a horrible song, but it's so catchy and fun, and the routine she made to go with it is a blast too.
@dym- thanks! I do love that dress..... not too many chances for me to dress up I had bought that dress for my 10 yeas high school reunion last summer. Which I didn't even get to go to because i ended up getting a gum abcess and having to have my wisdom tooth out because of it the week before I was supposed to travel to the reunion! What luck. I've gotten to wear the dress a couple of other times though.
Aaaaah, Awake again. I have early hours because I have to be at work every morning at 730. This has felt like the longest week ever. haha! Tonight on my schedule is week 5 day 6- (had to go look)- Fire 45! haha! Funny since I was just singing it's praises. I don't think I need another rest day, i'll probably get back at it tonight, we'll see how I feel after work though 0 -
Good morning ladies (or afternoon if we have any in a different time zone), @Starlage, great comparison pic! Great job to you early morning exercisers. I love my sleep, and could never drag my butt out of bed to work out. I work out when I get home, before I make dinner, or read the mail, or check my email, just get home, go straight up stairs to change and push play Tonight I have the Fire Starter class and Stretch 10. 0
-
@ Starlage ~ I love your new profile/transformation pic! It gives me hope. All I can say is wow!
I'd be a happy camper if all I had to is Fire 45 and HIIT 25 everyday and throw in 55EZ and Stretch 10 every now and then.
Have a great day everyone!0 -
Tomorrow I start week 4 of turbo fire. I'm a little irritated cause I've only lost 4 ounces according to today's weigh in..0
-
@ Raven, I only lost about 2 pounds in the first month, but my pictures showed changes I hadn't realized were happening, so hopefully you'll see the same! (hope you took pictures or measurements at least!)0
-
I've been going way more off my measurement changes than scale changes. I could care less if the scale moves down or up, I'm looking for the inches to melt off 0
-
Just got done with HIIT 30/Lower 20 - now that was a workout!!! My legs and butt are on fire! That was the first time I've done HIIT 30. I have no clue how Chalene is able to talk during the drills! I could barely breathe lol.
Keep it up girls the fat will melt off! I was not even watching calories or "dieting" in any regard the first month. I personally lost the most inches and the least amount of weight the 2nd month.0 -
I have no idea how Chalene is able to talk and smile and look gorgeous thru most of her videos.0
-
I need to make some adjustments to my food >.< I've been eating really healthy, but for some reason, I've been hungry a lot. I'll get it figured out I suppose.
I did Fire 45 again today. Definitely by the weekend I should be back to doing the strength workouts counting down the days until next Friday when I leave for Florida!!

Hi ladies! I'm new here, and on my 5th week of Turbo Fire. Monday starts week 6 for me & I am SO excited!! My first month, I was not tracking calories too closely and did not see a big loss on the scale. My fault! I started tracking cals rigorously last week and I am now down a whole 2.6 pounds. Crazy!! In the past 5 weeks, I have developed noticeable muscle in my arms and legs. I can kick much higher and jump now, when before that was pretty difficult for me. My stamina has definitely increased & I actually look forward to doing my daily workout. It's crazy how much I have changed in 5 weeks. I started pretty much at fitness level zero. If I can do this, I really think anyone can. Before this, I was so lazy & just dreaded working out. I can honestly say that I feel so different now and it's for the better. If you're struggling or not seeing the loss you want, STICK WITH IT!!! Do not let the scale get you down. :-)0

Hi all! I am new to the group but not new to Turbo Fire. I am in week 14 of Turbo Fire. I have lost 18 lbs so far and would like to lose at least another 30 lbs. I don't really see much of change but friends and coworkers comment that they definitely see a change. I did not take before pictures because I totally avoided full body pictures, only head shots for me. LOL! I am a nurse that works the night shift from 7p-7a and have a busy lifestyle so getting a workout in is challenging at times, but I am committed and do not miss a class. I follow the schedule religiously, try to eat clean, but not very good at that. I do stay within my allowed calorie count though. My BFF and her daughter are my partners in crime because it is so much easier when you have someone for support and accountability. Really excited about this group because I LOVE turbo fire and it is definitely motivating to see everyone's before and after photos and read your posts.0

so nice to hear from someone further into turbofire. this makes me even more excited and dedicated! thanks for sharing!0 -
Today marks the end of my 2nd week of Turbo Fire! 14 days done and in the books! Looking forward to starting week 3 tomorrow. I'm glad I get excited to do TF, because I tend to get bored of workouts real quick. That hasn't happened with TF yet and as much fun as I'm having, I don't see me getting bored with it. Woo hoo for that! Lol0

I did Fire 55EZ today always feels good to get that workout in! 0
