    Fire 30 & Core 20.

    Star -yes summer is coming...lol...doesn't feel like it where I am :( I don't want to have to wear it all the time.

    Monie - that is the most wonderful feeling when others notice. Great job!

    Dym- I had issues and have always had issues with mine too. Double 00s no matter what I did that would come and go. The only thing that helped was to shove the brain part that hooks to the strap up inside the bra so it was right on my bone. Crazy, I know but, it worked much better after that. A change of batteries in both at same time works too. Just bought a bodymedia, so now I don't really need my heart rate monitor but have been using it to compare. Can't tell yet if calorie burns are similar between two yet. Just git bodymedia other day. Good luck with your hrm. Do you have a Polar?

    I'm still here. :) Not following the Turbo calander anymore, I don't feel the need to start the program againat the moment. I'm trying to follow my own exercise plan incorporating some of the workouts focusing more on muscle sculpting and toning. Since I didn't purchase a new program or heavier weights yet this is my tentative schedule for the month:
    Mon-shred, TF hiit, TF lower
    Tues-cardio (fire or run), TF abs
    Wed-shred, TF full body strength (sculpt, tone or clx burn circuit)
    Thurs-rest
    Fri-shred, TF hiit, TF upper
    Sat-shred, cardio (shorter fire or run), TF abs
    Sun-TF core, TF yoga

    I had my son take my 20 week pics lol. I'll post when I get a minute, but darn it. I was not having a good ab day and I need a more flattering swimsuit! the one I started with went from being too tight to too loose, especially on my butt. :tongue:

    Today I started Week 5! Cant believe it's Week 5 already! I subbed out Fire 55ez for Fire 45 because I like 45 better :) Will weigh and take measurements this weekend and see how the 1 month changes ended up (if any!). I'm also running a 5k race tomorrow morning!

    Hi everyone,

    Two more workouts and I've completed week 3. I'm loving every workout so far and the music is brilliant. I'm already noticing changes to my shape and the measure is showing a good few inches gone from all over. I think my favourite workout is the Core one though, my muscles really know it afterwards but it feels amazing.

    Did hiit 25, upper 20 & 30 day shred level 1 today. I'd forgotten all the plyo in hiit 25! I'm feeling the burn!
    My final results pictures, it takes a lot to post these.

    Week 9 day 4- HIIT 25 (supposed to be 15. Hate that one. too short.) and Tone 30. WOOHOO!

    I forgot how much I love HIIT 25! It's the perfect length and it's super challenging. Love it!!

    Dym - yeah, unfortunately, I have had that replaced as well as a new strap. They do say that the straps don't last long either...this is how they get ya I guess...don't get me wrong, when things are working well it's a great tool.

    Star - I hate HIIT15....bleh.

    Fabulous job Butterfly!

    W5D34- Fire55EZ...contemplating starting TF/CLX hybrid Monday...to spice things up...I need more strength in my routine to burn this flab...lol

    amazing the difference a better fitting sports bra makes. I had been wearing one that was too big and dealing with a lot of bouncing even with an extra compression bra, bought a new smaller one (down a cup size) and no bouncing when I did 45ez this evening.

    dym- OMG YES!!! a better sports bra makes a huge difference. I was a 36DD last year and have gone down to a 36D with TF. I hope the shrink a little more! I'd love to be a C cup again. I've found my favorite sports bra to be the VSX victoria's secret sports line. Overpriced, yes, but they're the best!

    Hi everyone! Great job with all the workouts! Today I did TF55EZ; I really like that one...it's a bit longer than I like, but there is a lot of upper body work in that workout, which I really love! My arms are by far the worst part of my body...but slowly but surely my arms are getting more toned... I really think the CEX hybrid with TF is really whats helping the most!
    Im totally going to have to try out the Victoria Secret sports bras...I didnt even know they made sports bras! But I totally need some with better support!
    Hope everyone has a great weekend!

    Low HIIT 25 for me today. I did about 50 minutes of weights before the class so I really felt it extra in my legs....it was great!

    Sculpt and Fire 30 today. I was so sweaty I couldn't see ewwww

    Fire 45 today. Bodymedia technically says I burned 500 but my heart rate monitor says 311, so put 311 till I can get to a more steady number with this new gadget. I do like it though and will come in handy if I ever do my kbells again. The watch got in the way but armband won't. Have a great night everyone!

    Low HIIT 20 this morning and didn't do the stretch 10. Plan on a short Zumba class. Just 3 more days left of week 4:drinker:

    I was supposed to have Fire 30 and Sculpt 30 today - did the Sculpt and then went on a group run with the double stroller. I'm going to plug Fire 30 in later in the week, probably whatever day I have Core 20 and Stretch 40. I haven't been doing Stretch 40, anyway, I've mostly been running those days (plus Core). It's day 2 of week 5 for me! (though technically 14 since I did the 9 week prep)

    Fire 40 done!

    Finished week 4. I have been eating at the wrong calorie level this whole time so my week 4 check-in wasn't too impressive. I'm 98% my numbers are right now so I'm optimistic for the next four weeks.
