If you ever feel like you're cheating yourself with the resistance band do a workout with a 13 month old crawling around. All of a sudden it would be way harder and when I looked down he was pulling on the band lol. Fire 30 and Sculpt done today!

Yes it has a chest strap, but no it does not ask any of the questions. Maybe I should invest in a better HRM. Thanks for the input!

My burns with the HIITs are lower because the high HR isn't being maintained as long as with the cardio (plus they're shorter workouts), but you will get more accurate estimations with one that uses your age/gender/height/weight to calculate burns.

What kind do you have? I use a Pyle. It's relatively inexpensive (compared to more popular brands) but does ask all those questions. I too wondered about the accuracy because of my weight and the amount of sweat. Last night I did the HIIT 20+Stretch 10 and I burned 229 calories total. I'm not sure if your friends with Kakes80 but she posted today that she did the same workout without the stretching and burned like 207. She uses the Polar brand. She does weigh slightly more than I do though. Here is the amazon link for the one I have: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006QP0R2E/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Mine is also a Pyle, but I never answered any questions, perhaps I didn't set it up properly...ha ha, I am slightly challenged in the IT area:) I'll check out your link, I do like that the Pyle has been so easy to use and it was really easy to set-up, or so I thought!!

Did HIIT 20 & Sculpt 30 today. Felt okay. I hate that band! The moves are so awkward. I took two days off this week instead of just one. I've noticed it's so much harder for me to workout again after two days off than if I just have one day off.

Took today off. Did my first 5K distance with the double jogger, 3 hills and no walking! I definitely have Turbo to thank for that leg strength.

Fire 55EZ this morning + 250 squats! and I am done the 30 day squat challenge!! I got some strong thighs and booty now let me tell you!!

Nice, Rach! I am almost half way through my 31 day squat & plank challenge, and I'm looking forward to finishing up with strong thighs and booty myself!! The planks might kill me though......

Hi everyone.

Sorry I don't post often but as I access MFP on my phone most of the time I can't access the groups. Today saw me complete 55 EZ, (is the EZ meant to be a joke lol). I am only two workouts away from completing week 7 and I'm loving every minute of it. Up to the beginning of week six I'd lost 15" (4" off my waist alone), and 11lb in weight. Next results will be taken at the end of week 8.

I'm looking forward to starting week 9 as I love the HIIT workouts, they are a killer but the buzz I get after them beats most other feelings.

And guess what guys?..........YOU'RE NOT TIRED!

Fire 55 today my eating is bad but my workouts are on track at least. -.-

Food is always my struggle, I love to workout but I love to eat!

Had Core and Stretch 40 as my last make up workout yesterday. Did a 2.5 mi stroller run instead of the Stretch and killed it with Core. I'm finally at a point I can do less modifications! (1 year postpartum, took long enough to get it back)

Starting week 9 today, Low HIIT 20 and Sculpt.

Fire 45 done today!!! I always love doing this one!!!!

Fire 30 + Sculpt 30....and ***drum roll please*** I ran my first 5K race this morning!! I am not a runner by any means and have only ran once this entire season (before that I hadn't ran in about 3 years). I cut my time by 6 whole minutes and finished like a champ sprinting at the end!! So proud of myself! My husband signed me up for a local 5k as a Mother's Day present...it was on my bucket list so it was one of the best presents he could ever give me!!

P.S. After running my heart out in a 5k and doing Fire 30...Sculpt 30 almost killed me haha! Much deserved and needed rest day tomorrow!

Day 2 of Prep schedule today-Stretch 40 Happy Mother's Day ladies!

Started week 9 yesterday, I noticed I'm supposed to do measurements at the end of the week. That makes me nervous considering it just said to do them the end of this past week, am I going to die? lol

Fire 45 today, blasted my last burn and was sweating like crazy. Happy Mother's Day to the Turbo moms!

I just finished week 9 and I thought the same thing - what the heck, measurements AGAIN? But when I look at the booklet with the measurements and progress photos, it turns out we really don't do it until week 12. So I think the "track your results" on the calendar is a typo... Phew!
