Turbo Fire Newbie

I just ordered Turbo Fire today. I asked a lot of people about their experiences and did my research online and finally just ordered it. I already did P90X once and lost 25. Started Insanity and it was too intense and I got sick twice after trying to do it. So I figured I would do Turbo Fire and then hopefully that would get me into shape for Insanity. I'm excited! :)

    I'm a newbie too, I'm in the middle of my second week right now! I haven't seen much in the way of results yet, but my boyfriend's sister lost 40 pounds just with TF and healthy eating since last year. I'm hoping for the same results! Add me and we can encourage each other to keep it up!

    Also, I'd love to know what you end up thinking about TF vs. Insanity and P90X. I want to do one of those after I get done with TF, but I don't know which one yet.

    40lbs? I'm jealous, I've lost 19 so far and on week 13, advanced classes.

    I will definitely post what I think of all three against each other.

    Right now Insanity v P90X. While P90X is a great program and helped me lost 25. Its almost like its good to do just once and then you crave something more challenging. Insanity is great and definitely challenging but almost killed me twice . .. so . . . I think once I get up there to handle Insanity without wanting to fall down from not getting enough oxygen, I will love it! LOL

    And I always say even if you dont see results right away, keep plugging along cause you will eventually. Just takes some time :)

    I am currently on week 2 and I LOVE it! I too did Insanity for about a week and it was brutal and I just couldn't do it.

    I don't think that you will regret TurboFire for one minute. It is fun and fast paced and I tell you what....I was sore in places I didn't know I had. Good luck!!!!:bigsmile:

    Thanks. :) I suppose that's good to hear. Being sore is good . . . for the most part.

    I didn't wear shoes with P90X or Insanity. Is it necessary for Turbo Fire? LOL I dont like shoes or socks.

    yes shoes is definitely necessary except for the stretch 40 class. you are doing a lot of jumping and bouncing around and need to pivot a lot, so save your knees and wear a good pair of shoes! I'm sure you will love TurboFire...they also have a 9 week prep schedule that is still intense but just doesn't include a couple of the most difficult classes if you wanted to start out a bit slower. good luck! :)

    I found the prep schedule on the beach body website in the super gym. I'm not using it though, I did one week of the fire starter schedule and now I started the regular schedule yesterday.

    I haven't done TF (yet ~ planning to start April 1st) but I've done Insanity and LOVED IT!!!!!!!! My husband has done P90X, and he likes it, but personally after doing the intensity of Insanity, I can't imagine enjoying p90X. It's def a great workout, but I love the rush of Insanity much more than the sound of Tony Horton and all his little 1 liners ;) LOL
