    Did Fire 55 EZ tonight and loved it! My favorite so far. I love this program so much that I actually ordered the Advanced DVDs right away. That says a lot from me as I didn't order them for any of the other BB workouts I've done.

    I'm considering the Inferno plan but may hold off until after the holiday weekend. I also figured out my necessary calorie intake via the journal that came with TF and I've been under-eating by at least 200 calories a day. I want to try increasing my calories for a couple of weeks before considering the Inferno plan. The plan does include Shakeology so if anyone has any questions about that, please send me a message and I'd be happy to answer them.

    Well today is day 4 for me and I worked out last night with 30 Fire and 10 strectch and I finally got the moves down. It is even better when you do know the moves then you are not fumbling to to learn them. So this is what I did

    Max HR- 175
    Calories burned combined- 1131:happy:

    As you can tell I kicked butt!!!!:devil: :devil:

    All I need now is some good sneakers for the jumping and running. The sneaker that I have is not that great so on the running parts I have to take it easy. Any recommendations for running shoes?

    I do FIre 55 Ez today so can't wait to see what that is all about. I hope you all stay motivated and keep pushing play.

    We are all in this together is let's get great results!!!!:happy:

    I just started using myfitnesspal, and I was wondering how you all classify the TurboFire workouts when logging your exercises. I'm working on saving up for a bodybugg, but until then I want to be able to get the best net calorie count possible. Suggestions?

    missed Fire 55 yesterday (started it but didn't complete) due to emergencies and the sleep over (my daughter's birthday) BUT I did it today and burned 656 calories and Lance (ds) pretended to do it with me. After World Cup I did Fire 30 so I am caught up. I rested from walking today.

    With Fire 30 and Stretch 10 I burned 389 so it was a total of 1045 calories burned today! Woohoo!

    Keep it up everyone!
    Dawn

    Tomorrow completes Week #1 for me!!!!

    Today was Day 2 for me - HIIT 15 Stretch 10 and I loved every short sweet second of it! :smile: Unfortunately I had a weird problem with my HRM - it read '00' several times!? Never happened before; I guess it couldn't handle readings that HIGH! :laugh: So far, this program is just what I've been needing.

    Day 5: Did Fire 55 and burned 814 calories!! I have NEVER gotten that high of a number on any one workout before. I gotta say, I think "EZ" is a bit of a misnomer:laugh:

    ok - today was the last day of week #1 and wow! Core was intense!

    Now today was a mixed emotion day for me... I am retaining a ton of water (at least 7 pounds!) I was shocked when I got on the scale today and wanted to immediately cry. Now that I have calmed down and thought about it it is definitely water retention.

    I drink at least a gallon of water a day so that is not the issue however, I use sea salt. Well the last couple of days I had things that had regular salt in them including pickles. This I am sure is where the problem came in.

    I will be watching that over the next couple of days and plan on seeing the results I were hoping for by next week when I weigh in again.

    Have a happy healthy day everyone!

    Good morning everyone! It sounds like everyone is doing an amazing job so far! I'm so excited!

    I hope you don't think that I disappeared, because I'm here!!! It's just been a crazy weekend!

    I'm starting the Inferno plan today through Friday, so I'll keep everyone posted on how it goes. The plan has me (and everyone else) eating roughly 1200 calories and doing on of the more intense workouts every day. Today's workout is the Fire 55 EZ and Stretch 10. I seriously do not find the Fire 55 EZ class very easy!!! I love it though. :smile: I'm also going to add the Core 20 class since I wasn't able to get to it yesterday.

    I'll try to check back in later, but if I can't then I hope you all have a great day! :bigsmile:

    I just started my last week of Lean Circuit today (but added HiiT 15 onto the end of my strength workout). I'll finish up Saturday, rest on Sunday, do a week of the Inferno Plan, then am planning on starting the entire 20 week CLX/TF hybrid rotation on Saturday, July 10th.

    Quick Question...

    When do you think we will start seeing results from Turbo Fire.If we are burning so many calories we should see something moving soon right?:ohwell:

    Another quick question....:smile:


    Is anyone here doing the Turbo Fire 8 week prep? If so how's it going for you?
  • dawnsmemories
    dawnsmemories Posts: 6 Member
    I am hoping to see results fairly quick as this is a high calorie burn program! I'll definitely let you all know as soon as I see changes! ;o)

    Quick Question...

    I would take your calorie burns with heart rate monitors as a 'general' number. I've found that HRMs, even really expensive ones, can be quite misleading with what you're really burning during workouts. As a rule of thumb, I find that I have to be almost dying, heaving breath (almost unable to catch it), heart ready to burn out of my chest to get my calorie burn (according to my Bodybugg) at a rate of 11-12 calories/minute. I'm not saying that 1000+ calories for an hour workout isn't possible, but be aware (especially when planning nutrition) that those figures can be very misleading.

    I've already fairly fit (I've done 3 rounds of P90X, a round of Insanity, and am almost done with a round of ChaLean Extreme), and I push myself REALLY hard every single day. That said, I've found that I'm burning:

    180 calories for Hiit 15
    205 calories for Hiit 20
    655 calories for Fire 55 EZ

    Finally, to answer your question...I'd like to venture a guess that you'll start seeing some results rather quickly if you're really working the nutrition. If you're eating off the top two tiers (mostly) of Michi's ladder and REALLY making sure you maintain a calorie deficit. Best of luck!!

    Thanks for listing your calorie burns - all the ones I've been reading (other boards) are WAY WAY higher than mine have been and I really don't think I'm a slacker lol! I've only done the HIIT 15 once and got 175 burned, and Fire30/Stretch10 twice and got 399 and 434 burned...and I really pushed that last once as hard as I could. :devil: Tomorrow is Fire 55 EZ and I can't wait - loving it so far!

    As far as results go, my scale has been edging slowly downward...about 1.8 pounds all together since Fri morning. :drinker:

    Good morning!

    So, today marks Day 2 of the 5-day Inferno plan. I have to say that so far, it's not too bad! Every day has a calorie goal of roughly 1200 calories, so I've been trying really hard to follow the menu plan that's included in the booklet. As far as the workouts go, here are my calorie burns and Max HR for each one so far:

    Day 1 (Monday):
    Fire 55 EZ: 600 cals (YES! I did it w/o the "New to Class" feature this time. I had so much energy!) - Max HR was 192
    Stretch 10: 62 cals - Max HR 133 (still cooling down from that Fire class! Woo!)

    Day 2 (Tuesday):
    Fire 45: First off, let me say that this workout rocks! I did the "NtoC" since I had never done it before, which made the workout about an hour in total length. So, with that being said, my cals burned was 531 and my Max HR was 177. I know that this will be much higher when I finally know all of the moves.
    Stretch 10: 50 cals - Max HR 133
    HIIT 20: I haven't had a chance to do this workout yet today, and am really hoping that I get to once I get home!


    So, there is a recap of my first two days of the Inferno plan so far. I hope this helps a little for those of you that might be considering doing this plan. Keep in mind that these are the only workouts that are done within these five days...they are just repeated. So, tomorrow will be Fire 55 EZ and Stretch 10 again! Woo! :bigsmile:

    Keep rockin' it!

    Oh! I almost forgot! For those of you who were asking about how long it takes to see results...


    Before I started the plan yesterday, I weighed myself and took measurements so that I could record it in my TurboTracker (this thing is seriously awesome...if you don't have it, you should get it!) since there is a section devoted strictly to the 5-day Inferno plan. I was amazed at the results that I have already achieved in ONE WEEK doing TurboFire...check it out:

    Before starting TurboFire:
    Total Inches: 181
    Weight: 150.4

    Before starting the 5-Day Inferno Plan (One week later):
    Total Inches: 178
    Weight: 149.4


    So, even though it's only been a week, I've already lost 3 inches and 1 pound. I'll totally take that! I'm really excited to see how my results are after this week. I'll keep you posted!

    Hello! I'm starting a little behind everyone it seems, but I'd love to join y'all! I've been doing BB workouts since November 2007 (SI6, P90, P90X, P90X+, ChaLEAN, Insanity, RevAbs, and currently Brazil Butt Lift). At my lowest, I had lost 40 lbs, however, I went on a belated honeymoon to the UK in May and gained 12lbs in 11 days :embarassed: In doing BBL the last 3.5 weeks, I'm down about 5lbs with 7-10 more to go to get back to my goal weight. I have just 3 days left of BBL and will be starting Turbo Fire this Saturday! I plan on stacking the lower body workouts from BBL with Turbo Fire, though, since my problem area is my lower body.

    After reading everyone's reviews, I think I might substitute the cardio workout that was planned for tonight with HIIT 15 to give it a try!

    So, after one week of TF, I have lost 1.5 lbs and 2.5 inches (in total)! I'm pretty happy about that. A part of me wishes the weight would come off faster, but the smart part of my brain knows it doesn't work that way! Last year I lost 30 lbs doing CX, and I ended up gaining back 13 this spring (I couldn't work out due to an injury)... Well it took me a good 4 months to lose that last 10 lbs last time, so I'm trying to keep expectations reasonable. :smile:

    Holy cow! Fire 55EZ really wasn't EZ! :noway: I did the new to class option and stretch 10...whoa. I can't remember the last time I burned 611 calories. :devil: Possibly more when I actually get the routines down better! Still lovin' this!

    Hello Everyone.

    First I would like to welcome everyone to my group. Thanks for joining me on my journey even though I am doing a Hybrid with P90x. But hey it's all in the same family so no matter what you are doing everyone is welcomed:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    So I had my rest day on Sunday so that means I did 20min Core and 10 min stretch today. And believe it or not is was great. I never worked with the bands before but I just love it. I know I might be sore in the morning because I normally do AB Ripper X 3 days out the week. So today felt good because I was working different muscles with resistance.

    I have decided to cut some of my carbs out to jump start my metabolism again.I will be doing a raw diet of fruit and vegetables and then I will do the inferno plan. Overall, I am feeling great and glad to have ladies in this group trying to get even more healthier.

    STAY FOCUSED, KEEP MOTIVATED AND PUSH PLAY!!!!!:smile::smile: :smile:

    Just curious...did you create your own hybrid schedule with P90X or are you lightly following the CLX/TF that she included in the fitness guide? I'm just curious...wondering how you determined which exercises to put where...curious minds, you know?

    I'm starting the 20 weeks next Saturday (I think the 10th??) and want to follow it to the T to see what sort of results I can get without tweaking it...that way I can really tell my 'coachees' what to expect.

    Best wishes...and don't just push play, CRUSH PLAY!! : )

    I have created my own schedule to suit my need. I do pretty much doubles. I card in the morning and lift in the evening..If it is a day where I have cardio for P90X then I will just do Turbo Fire to replace it unless it's kenpo and I will do doubles. I ask do Ab Ripper X three days out of the week

    Hey! Did you guys know we can get a free TurboFire t-shirt after we complete the program -- just like we did with Insanity? Go to www.turbofire.com, and towards the bottom right, there's a link to print out the form. You'll need to take before & after pics & measurements, send in the form, and wait for your shirt to arrive.

    I don't know what it is about getting that shirt, but I really take pride in it!! I wear my Insanity t-shirt all the time with HONOR!! :drinker:

    Hi everyone,

    I am starting Turbo Fire tommorrow. Still have to read through all the info tonight and then I will most likely be doing it with doubles (as I love my weights). I will let you know what my plan is later! Look forward to chatting with you all!

    Laura
    (ps. Sandy, are Canadians allowed the shirt this time?)
