Turbo Fire Challenge!!! Join Me

Did Fire 30 today and Sculpt. I know I need to do the Sculpt and Tone videos but I just don't feel like I'm working if I'm not doing cardio...warped thinking I know...I did burn 453 calories with both so that is a plus.

Was gone for the weekend and totally missed working out to TF! Got home yesterday and was just too tired to workout, so this morning did yesterday's workout w/today's scheduled one. Fire 45 and HIIT 20. Totally dripping with sweat and exhausted after that. Boy, just 3 days w/out TF and I felt like I hadn't done it in weeks!! Getting back on track!

I did that over the weekend to make up for Saturday. It was tough but well worth it. Tomorrow is supposed to be a rest day but I may miss working out this weekend so I plan on doing HIIT 25.

HIIT 25 today...it's awesome. I think I've become a HIITworkoutaholic...I crave them...hehe I think Chalene said that would happen!

HIIT 15/CLX Burn it Off/Sculpt 30 yesterday. Today did Fire 55EZ and used weighted gloves. I actually didn't feel as tired towards the end of 55EZ like I usually do. I'm going to see how the arms feel tomorrow after using the weighted gloves. Maybe I shoulda started with Fire 30 with those??? Hmmmm....oh well....hindsight! :ohwell:

Didn't get to workout yesterday.tweeked my back so gave it a rest. Today is a bust too. My 4 year old was up at 5 this morning. If I don't workout before everyone gets up I can forget it. We are going to the park for some serious playtime so I'll get a small workout in then,

Hello! I am new to MFP, but have been doing Turbo Jam with the weighted hand gloves off and on for the past four years or so between pregnancies. I want to get Turbo Fire....but need to justify the purchase. WHY should I get it? How is it better/different from Turbo Jam? And can I join your group? I need the motivation! I have about 15 pounds to lose. My hubby and I each have about 15 pounds to lose and have agreed that when we reach our goal, we will book a cruise or other trip for March to celebrate our 10-year wedding anniversary!!!! Now that should motivate me, right? :happy:

Well I can't answer how they are different because I didn't start with Turbo Jam but just wanted to say yes that should motivate you and be proud you've made it to 10 years, hardly anyone does that anymore. I do love TUrbo Fire, lost 9.25" and 4.7 lbs the first month. I have 10 more lbs to lose to get to goal.

Thanks for the link to that article! Now I just hope I can do Turbo Fire! I ordered it yesterday, so I hope I can hack it! Thanks for letting me join your group! I am looking forward to the support and motivation y'all offer each other! Are you doing the workout schedule included with Turbo Fire?

The main thing is to remember you can modify it. I can't work as hard with my knees so I modify that but make sure I keep it high intensity with the arm moves so I keep my heart rate up. There are a couple of jumps I don't do during HIIT but I'll do jumping jacks instead or run in place as hard as I can to keep the intensity up.

Fire 45EZ today. First time I did that one. I kept waiting for the "fire drill" but nothing. But that's a pretty good workout on it's own! Still sweating like crazy. Tomorrow is HIIT 25. It'll be the first time I'm doing that one too. Let's hope I make it thru!!!

I'm kind of doing my own thing with TF and not following the schedule right now. I did HIIT 20 today and Sculpt 30. I am amazed at how high your heart rates stays during Sculpt after you do a HIIT workout. 426 calories burned...whoot! whoot!

Rest day, today, but still worked out. I just took a rest day from TF. Did BL Last chance workout & Jillian Michael's 30 day shred. Still got a sweat on. Tomorrow is HIIT 15 & Tone 30.

Hey everyone!

@ Telcochik I have almost had 1000 calories burned doing the New To Class option on 55 and 45. I have also done those classes not putting as much intensity in it and my calorie burn was lower. I think the only way to know for sure is to get a BODYBUG. Thats on my Christmas list lol. I do believe that its possible to get that much of a burn. Tonight I did Zumba Cardio Party for 40 min and burned 441 calories. I then did about 15 min of Fire 30 and my heart rate was significantly higher. I put much more intensity in it and burned about 150 calories. Just the warm up alone had my heart rate pumping lol. I said all that to say, only you know your intensity level. If you don't want to wonder if your HRM is lying to you get a Bodybug. Its the only device specifically designed to rate calorie burn.

I hope that was helpful.

How do you ladies burn so much? I don't have a hrm but when I check it it's 170s-180s; maybe 190s after hiit, which is over my max heart rate. If I plug that into a calculator I get out about 600 calories for an hour of work! This is about what mfp gives me for kickboxing, too.

Today was going to be a rest day but I ate a ton of sunflower and pumpkin seeds and have to work the overnight shift, so Im going to workout before I go. Haven't decided what I will do. Insanity??? :embarassed:

Hi Everyone! Can I join your thread? I am new to this site but I am doing TurboFire as well. I am currently in week 6 and loving it so far. Today I did Fire55 EZ. So far I have kept up with the schedule and done all of the workouts but I'm not always good about eating and getting enough sleep.
