  • i am doing this program too! im on week 2.
  • Hey Everyone:flowerforyou: ,

    Just want to say hello to all the newbies that have joined my group. I am so glad that you decided to take that first step in getting heallthy. I am on my 8th week of Turbo Fire and I love it. This past week I did subsitute my workout for 2 days with Insanity because I just missed it so much and wanted to switch things up a bit. But I am back on schedule and ready to hit it hard. I find myself doing my workouts in the afternoon because I am kinda busy during the day. But as long as I work out then that's all that matters.

    Please keep us posted on your progress and let us know if you are reaching your goals.

    TTYL and don't forget to Push Play!:happy:

    I am still having lots of fun and feeling great. I realized that with combining turbo fire with Brazilian butt lift and a little 30 day shred for muscle maintenance that I forgot to add in a rest day and hadn't had one for a while. I also had guests in town so I took 2 days off from exercising AND calorie counting! :huh: A little crazy for me but sometimes I get too type A with this stuff. My body also seems to enjoy it with no or only minimal weight gain. That being said, it will be good to pick up 55ez again today.

    I recently moved and it seems my hiit 25 is missing from my set. It hasn't come up in the rotation again yet and i havent checked through all my dvds but I'm worried cause it is a killer workout! :frown:

    Jerzeediva I miss insanity too but am saving it cause i know i will likely do a p90x insanity hybrid next :happy:
  • I got my TurboFire set in the mail last week and I just did Fire55 EZ. WOW! I am excited to workout again tomorrow!

    I also have the P90X set from this past spring. I tried to start it a few times but I didn't like doing zero cardio on strength days. I NEED cardio. I am thinking about doing Turbofire for this week and then doing a hybrid starting next week. Still not sure, though. I really just need to torch some calories right now. I have 25lbs I would like to lose by next summer.
  • That's great to hear that you enjoy the Fire 45 Amandac6772 because that is the one I am set to do today. I love that Chalene uses such good music, now I'm even more anxious to do the workout! Thanks.
  • Tomorrow is day 2 of the Inferno plan. I love TF and Chalene. The music is great and keeps me moving. EZ45 tomorrow

    Did HIIT 20 today...totally blew it out if the water with great intensity. My heart rate was up to 177 bpm on the last set...I'm on FIYAH!!!! I think that is the highest I've ever got it. Tomorrow is rest day but may sneak in another workout since we are going camping this weekend and I'll miss two workouts.

    Hiii Everybody!

    I had a sligt hiatus because of family vacation in Disney all last week. So I have to pick back up where I left off tonight. I had originally planned on doing the Shakeology cleanse this week but couldn't because I have too many family functions this week. I love reading through the thread and seeing everyone is so excited and being consistent!

    I had a mini-melt down when I got on the scale after my return from vacation...it was back at where I was about a few weeks ago but looked at my planner again and realized its almost TOM so I must be retaining water. Will check back after next week on the scale again.

    Excited for tonight's workout after work!

    Hi All,
    I happened to find this site and saw the Turbo Fire board. Hope you don't mind me jumping on the bandwagon, but figured this would be a good way to stay motivated and hold myself accountable. I did 1 round of CLX a few months ago and really liked it. I totally felt myself getting stronger. It was the 1st program I actually stuck with to the end. Did BBL for a couple months and now I'm moving onto Turbo Fire! I finished the 5 Day Inferno last week. I just started the 12 week plan on Monday. I LOVE this program!! It's tough and totally kicks my a**, but I like the challenge of pushing myself to do more (as Chalene says). I know I'll stick with this too. After I complete the 12 weeks, I'm planning on doing the TF/CLX hybrid. I'm taking it one challenge at a time. :)

    Thanks, Amanda!

    Today was supposed to be a rest day, but I'm pushing the workouts up since I'm going away for the weekend and want to get in what I can. Going to visit a friend who is also trying to get fit/healthy but struggling a bit. I'm hoping I can help get her motivated. I offered to be a workout buddy for her for the weekend. Not sure she's up for the Fire just yet, so maybe a long brisk walk or something like that.

    Keep up the great work everyone!!!

    I'm on week 5 but was pressed for time so I did hiit 15 even though there's not hiit in this section. It's crazy how much I sweat in my sleep after going hard on the hiit! I'm not sure I can stay away from it for 4 weeks. I didn't like the sculpt 30 DVD, it was good for then upper body, ESP the biceps, but I felt nothing in my lower body. Plus I hate resistance bands cause they scratch against my skin. I think I will continue using Jillian michaels and brazilian butt lift for toning, thank you very much!


    Welcome sas!!!!! Have fun on your visit - friends who help one get fit are the very best kind, so you are awesome! :flowerforyou:
  • Day 3 of the inferno. 961 calories gone!!

    HIIT 20 today. I think that is my fav HIIT. Did that and the Sculpt 30. It's amazing how many calories you burn doing Sculpt 30 after a HIIT workout.

    Thinking about doing Inferno next week. I'm four weeks into the schedule, it might be a good time to throw it in there. I go to the beach the next week for a few days. Might be a good way to shed a few before having to put on a bathing suit.

    @ cutmd...Thanks! I'm going to do what I can to help her out.

    Today was Fire 55EZ. That one is so long. I'm still stumbling with some of the choreography but I'm sure I'll get it eventually. I'm definitely tired by the end of it. I've pushed up the workouts so I don't miss anything. My goal is to do Fire 30 & Core 20 early tomorrow morning so that I have completed my week's workouts. CRAZY!! But my rest will be over the weekend since I'll be out of town. I plan on being workout buddy for my friend, but I know I won't be doing anything as intense as TF. Only been a couple of weeks, but already addicted. Gotta have my Turbo!!! I'll follow the reg schedule when I get back.

    Not sure if I'll be back online before I leave tomorrow, so hope you all have a great weekend! Keep the Fire burnin'!! :happy:

    Hi Everyone!

    So my hiatus and TOM have left me feeling seriously exhausted andwith frequent migraines this week. I am sure this is just a fluke but I haven't been able to get the workouts in. I just wanted an opinion from all of my TurboFire peeps if I should just restart from the begining of the schedule since I was only a few weeks in or pick up from where I left off in the schedule??
    I was at the 3 week mark but I'm really not sure what is the best at this point.

    Hope everyone is having a great week!

    Make sure you are drinking plenty of water. I think it's up to you, but since the second month has no hiit it's less intense. So if you feel much better and really want the maximum benefit you should start over. Or if you're still feeling kinda punky it might be better to continue on with the lighter stuff. Hope you're doing well :flowerforyou:

    Amanda I love to sneak in fire 45 when I can. If I've scheduled 2 workouts for the day (like TF with strength training), I use fire 45 as the reward, which is hilarious cause I sweat buckets and gasp for air the whole time :laugh:

    Today was a month of Turbo Fire. I lost 4.7 lbs and 9.25". I feel really good about that since I missed a few workouts because of a knee injury and laziness on a few Saturdays (like yesterday).

    Hello All!
    Got my TF late last week and did a couple of the workouts over this weekend. It's fun! I have trouble with some of the choreography, but I'm sure I'll pick it up.
    Starting the Inferno tomorrow as I am going on vacation starting next weekend, so I thought it would be a bonus to complete it right before I hit the beach.
    I'm glad to have found this group for advice and support!
    Enjoy your Sunday everyone!

    Starting month two of Turbo Fire. I did Fire 55 EZ this morning. This has not been one of my favorites but the more I do it the more I like it. It was a 400 calorie burn today...have to get the intensity up. My arms just really wear out with these long workouts and I find myself, as Chalene says "dogging it".

    Guys I just started TurboFire and I feel so discouraged :( It was my first day. Fire 30. Seemed easy, but I could only do 15 minutes of it before my chest felt really tight and I had to stop or I wouldn't have been able to breath. What the?!?!?! I'm thinking maybe I have to work on my breathing? Eat more? I don't know but this better get better because I had the energy to finish the workout but just couldn't because of the tightness in my chest. Bummer :(
