    1-15-13: FIRE 30 + Jillian Michaels' Killer Abs, Level One

    Today was the most fun I've ever had during Fire 30 and the best I've done with the choreography! I was so happy! This was my 4th time through the workout and I am so glad to see that I am finally learning the moves! I introduced two of my closest friends to Turbo Fire today and they did Fire 30 with me and loved it too! Yay for working out with friends!

    I see that you all are posting your calorie burns for your workouts. Are you wearing HRMs? If so, what kind/brand do you use and do you like it? I am in the market for one! Thanks for you help and good luck this week!

    I have a Polar FT4 watch. Its quality is good and it gets the job done. In a few months, I'd like to upgrade to a model that has GPS for when I jog outdoors in nicer weather, but the FT4 is enough for my current needs. It seems like a popular model on this site.

    Great job on incorporating your friends into the workout mix. I find that I always seem to work out harder and better when I work out with my boyfriend. Friends are a great way to push you through the tough parts. :-)

    I use an HRM and it looks like I have the same kind as aidan82. I use the Polar FT4 as well and I absolutelyl LOVE it! It's so easy and keeps a log of all of your burns.

    1-15-13 (Week 4, Day 2)

    HIIT 20 Class + Abs 10 + Lower Body 20

    The boo wanted to do Zumba this morning for cardio since he wasn't doing a HIIT workout, so I had 20 minutes of Zumba added in this morning as well.

    Total calories burned (per HRM) -- 530 calories

    Great day before the much needed REST day! :happy:

    Nice work, Jovan0609!


    femme62209, here is more info on HRMs:
    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/853515-should-i-trust-a-hrm-for-calories-burned

    A HRM is more or less reliable for a high intensity cardio workout, but never use it for something like strength training. I don't log calories burned during strength training anyway.

    Thank you and Jovan0609 both so much for the info on HRMs! I will be sure to let you know when I purchase one!

    1.16.13: FIRE 45

    This is probably my favorite workout of Chalene's so far. I just love the music and the dance moves (especially when you slap your knees at the beginning!) I am loving that I can follow her moves now, which just makes it so much easier to get a better workout.

    Happy sweating everyone!

    1-17-13 (week 4 day 4)

    HIIT 20 -- 170 calories burned
    Sculpt 30 -- 200 calories burned
    370 calories burned

    I had to go a little easy on the HIIT workout today because I dealt with a painful knee all day yesterday. I'm just glad the pain eased up enough for me to do a workout today. Stay encouraged pals!:flowerforyou:

    Jovan0609, we had a similar workout today! Except mine was HIIT 15. I felt like jello after HIIT 15, but then Sculpt 30 was even more of a killer! I'm a quivering mass of jelly right now, I'm going to pay for it tomorrow :bigsmile:

    1.17.13: HIIT 25

    I was so nervous for this long of a HIIT workout but I crushed it!! I did so much better than I thought I was going to and I felt great, albeit exhausted, afterwards.


    Jovan0609- I'm so sorry to hear your knee has been hurting you. I hope it starts to feel better fast. You are so dedicated to push through the pain!

    Aidan82- I know the feeling! But don't you just love feeling sore the next day? It means that you're doing something amazing!

    1-18-13 (Week 4 Day 5)

    FIre 55 EZ Class -- 500 calories

    Stay encouraged everyone! You girls are doing a really great job and showing some great dedication!

    Since I'm not direct friends with everyone in the group, I do want to share that I went to the store yesterday and have dropped a full pants size! I felt so accomplished yesterday and felt such a feeling of pride in myself. So, I definitely say to stick with it because persistence and dedication will pay off. :smile:

    1/20/13 (Week 4, Day 7)

    Fire 45 -- 525 calories

    Stretch 10 -- 75 calories

    600 calorie burn!

    I took yesterday off to take a trip over to Atlanta and spend some time catching up with friends. It was exactly what I needed to rejuvinate me to work even harder. Nothing beats being surrounded by true and genuine love and support.

    Hope you all had a great weekend! Let's get ready to start the new week truly motivated and dedicated to each workout!

    Stay encouraged! :flowerforyou:
