HIIT 25 and Upper 20 for me today. My muscles (legs especially) have been feeling pretty tight so I'm doing Stretch 40 today as well.

I finally made it to Week 12, Recovery week. I saw that today is Rest Day. Yay! I am really needing it after doing TRX on Saturday! Have a great Monday!!0

Finished up the 12 week program, a little disappointed in the stats, 18lbs lost, around 5-6 inches gone from waist, hips, thighs. I know I should be happy with any loss, but I started with a 2lb/week loss in the first month and then a slow down in months 2 and 3. Did the inferno last week, only lost 1lb. Have been playing around with my calories, went from 1200 to 1500, which caused a quick 4lb loss in less than 2 weeks which was encouraging, but was surprised with only 1lb in 11 days. On top of that my new HRM (rated as the most accurate) is saying I'm not burning as many calories as I thought, in some cases half from what my old one said. I'm not giving up, starting Advanced classes today, Fire 60 is on the schedule. Hope everyone else is having a better Monday.
P.S. A loss is a loss, I guess I'll send away for my free tank.0 -
I am so tired. LOL. And such a failure. I didnt make my workout yesterday :-/ Oh well..I'll make it up somehow.0

@dym123 Be proud of what you've accomplished! Congratulations on finishing 12 weeks & 18lbs is huge! Did you take before/after pics?0
-
Thanks butterfycz, I am proud, just hoping I would be prouder. I forgot to take a before pic, the one I have is about a month before I started, I'm hoping they accept it, since the rules just stated the pic had to be taken "before" I started Turbo Fire, it didn't say how long before. I did take after and could tell a difference.0

Hey everyone! Today is day 17 and its a rest day. Thank goodness, cuz I feel like I need this rest day.
@dym123 - congrats on finishing the 12 weeks! That alone is an accomplishment to be proud of.
And 18 lbs in 12 weeks is awesome! I guess we always want more for ourselves, but you didn't give up; you finished and lost weight and inches. Kudos!!

I started the program on Friday (random, probably) and I finished W1D4 today. HIIT 15 made my glutes incredibly sore - I am still feeling that a few days later! Hoping to stick to the program as much as possible 0
-
I officially started today! Looking forward to the next 12 weeks....TF will end around my 1st wedding anniversary and I'm hoping to be back in "wedding shape" for our trip....I gained the newlywed nine (plus more!!)0

OM effing G, Fire 60 is no joke. Can't believe I actually finished it.0

@Butterfly- confession: I’ve never done Stretch 40! LOL. I always skip it. I enjoy the fast stuff too much. As the level of exercise increases though I’m sure I’ll be looking forward to a nice slow yoga routine
@preshus- week 12, congrats!! You’re twice as far as I am!
@dym- I’m glad you still recognize a loss is a loss. 18lbs in 12 weeks is 6 pounds a month! That’s incredible! I’m lucky if I lose ½ a pound a week (but maybe I’m smaller than you). I wonder if your body’s ready for more weights and muscle building? Aparently that’s the way to get smaller and see changes when the weight loss slows down. That’s my plan after I get through my TF schedule. Oh, and about the calorie burn- I think a lot of HRM’s over estimate and so does MFP’s burn estimations. I trust my BMF and I burn 350-500 depending on the TF workout (I know weight/height/age matters, but I still think lots of gadgets overestimate). I’d prefer the lower burn anyhow, the higher burn makes it too easy to eat too much.
@cnlargent- no worries, I took a good half a dozen extra rest days over the last “five and a half weeks” I’ve completed- I put it in quotations because it’s more like 6 ½ weeks with all of extra days off! You’re still doing it, and that’s important. Not how many rest days you take.
@Raine- Glad you liked HIIT 15! I never found it long enough personally. I did it once and didn’t get much from it, so I always swapped it out for HIIT 20 or 25.
@junebug- you’ll totally be in wedding shape! Keep up the tf! It does it’s job.
Did fire 30/sculpt 30 today! I’m able to do about 60% of the sculpt 30 with my 8lb dumbbells, not bad! I’m definitely getting stronger. My workday was crazy today!! I literally spent 75% of my day out of my chair running around rooming patients, cleaning exam rooms… breaking a sweat, stressing. Hahaha! Crazy. A good crazy though, it’s always a good thing when the day flies by like it did today. My BMF says my burn will be 3100 for the day, WOW! My calories capped around 1900, so I’m glad I’ve got extra burn- makes up for my indulgent weekend!0 -
Well today I got home super late but my 14 yr daughter called me twice to remind me we were working out today and she even checked the schedule and knew what it was already. Amazing the little things that perk up your day.0
-
Well not going to lie but I have been a slacker lately. I have had a really hard time keeping to the program. I will say my diet blows and it is something I need to work on. I am on week 9 but I haven't been consistent. I want to keep it up this time and finish strong. Good luck this week hope everyone is keeping motivated.0

Hi ladies, I did CLX push 3 and did a HIIT 20 as well. I am so hungry I can't keep the food outta my mouth. I am hoping that is a good thing means my body is reving up Congrats to your loss dym123 and that is really some good stuff. The thing is I think we set ourselves up to lose more because we see beachbody people and people on the infomercials that make it seem as if they lost so much when in reality they did 2 or 3 rounds of the program. I know yes somepeople can lose lots of weight but most don't. I have been on this road a very long time and am always proud to have a loss insted of a gain. Inches are even better. We are here for you and know that it can be frustrating as well. Keep up the great work and it will come off. On a side note you really don't want to lose to fast then end up gaining it back that would really bite. Oh and your right Fire 60 is no joke but lots more fun.
@CN you are not a failure. You only missed one workout, maybe two. So what. Life happenes and it's a lifestyle change. It takes time to get used to a routine. I once read somewhere you have to do something 100Xs for it to be a habit. That's alot of days but just like butterfly you can do it. One day at a time and be proud of what you have done!
So glad to see lots of new faces and Ladies keep pushing play! 0 -
If I could just get my diet on point the I'd be straight. First I could get my diet on point, but didn't have motivation for exercise. Now I've been committed to turbofire and It's so difficult for me to eat right. Well, I guess this is a mentally challenge of how bad I want this... ARGH!0

Turbo Fire Day 18 - HIIT 15 and Tone 30 DONE this morning!
This was my first time doing Tone 30, and I must say that Tone 30 was way harder than Sculpt 30. Especially doing it right after HIIT 15. Eeek! Great sculpting workout though.

Today is week 2 for me. Suppose to do HIIT 20 and Stretch 10 this evening. I hope to make it. Good luck everyone!0
-
I finished Day 5 this morning before work - FIre 55EZ. Definitely hate having to wake up before 5am to get in this longer workout, but I am glad I did because it was really fun, and I burned just over 480 calories all before work! 0
-
starting week 2! I'm so excited and i love turbofire! i really hope i get good results. So far I've only had weight gain (about 3lbs) but I'm trying not to focus on that too much. My HRM should be in any day now too so that I can make sure I'm recording my calorie burn accurately!0

that's what i'm doing tonight too!!! i think i might throw in the abs 10 again too. my coach said you can do it 3-4 times a week to get more results and that it would be fine.0 -
Fire 60/Abs 10/Stretch 10 today. I love Fire 60 - the very first segment is so fun I did it twice.
My resistance band broke yeterday during an overhead press in Upper 20. It scared the crap out of me! I have 5lb hand weights so I finished with those, but I'll need a new tube or heavier weights asap. My turbo set was missing the beachbody band, so I've been using a weider heavy resistance tube.0 -

Couldn't believe when my HR got over 160 doing Fire 60 for the first time yesterday, it rarely gets above 156 and that's doing HiiT. My abs were on fire when I finished Abs 10. Gotta feeling I'm going to love the advanced classes.0 -
This week is turning into a rest WEEK for me...sick again yesterday, and I have three exams. I'm going to try to workout on study breaks but it's not looking good and that's driving me nuts! I hate not working out!0
-
Fire 40 today!
Man....now I understand why people say Turbo FIre is hard to follow at first! When I did FIre Starter yesterday I thought "this isn't so bad" but now I get it lol I'm not discouraged about it though...just need to practice! I still burned 400 calories even though I didn't give 100% effort because trying to follow along.0 -
I forgot to post yesterday but, I did do Fire45 and today did HIIT20. Feel like I should do something more although I am quite exhausted...have a good night all!0
-
Hey ladies! I had such a great day. I had a huge ego boost after FB messaging/chatting with an old guy friend that lives across the state from me (where I went to HS). Got huge compliments about how I look, made me feel great!
I did Fire 55ez today and some yoga floor stretches for my legs after 0 -
Turbo Fire Day 19 - Fire 55 EZ COMPLETE! 492 cals burned
I had to really focus and pace myself during Fire 55 EZ this morning, so I don't burn out right in the middle of the workout. Which is what usually happens...ugh. And it worked. I was able to finish without feeling totally exhausted and whipped. Live and learn....! Lol
Like Chalene says - "you're a MACHINE!" Let's get it girls.

Anyone else who recently got the series not have Stretch 40 in their set? I have stretch 10 on every dvd, but nothing for stretch 40..0

Good morning. I did Fire 30 this morning, and completed Day 6. Feeling great and my leg muscles are feeling so much looser after only a few days!0

I guess the newest version changed things up quite a bit and doesn't include Stretch 40, Upper 20 or Lower 20 anymore. I purchased the full set in Novemember; it didn't include any Low HIITs or a Fire Starter class. My Fire 55 EZ & Fire 45 EZ were renamed Fire 55 & Fire 40. My advanced dvds were: HIIT 30, Fire 60, Upper 20, Lower 20 & Abs 10. Sculpt 30, Tone 30 & Core 20 were all part of my 12 week schedule and those are now part of the "advanced" classes and Abs 10 is now part of the regular set.
I wonder the reasoning for changing it all up so much? I absolutely love the schedule and all the workouts I have!0
