    Hi Ladies....bumping this to read in its entirety later. Have been toying with the idea of purchasing Turbo Fire. Anxious to read about how much you all love it and what it has been able to do for your body and soul.

    Hi! Welcome to the thread! You should definately get Turbo Fire! I've done a lot of Beachbody products and gotten great results but nothing quite like Turbo Fire! I just feel smaller! I love it! I'm sure you've ready my posts about having withdrawls, seriously, I do! That's how much I look forward to it! I also highly recommend using weighted gloves, does miracles for your arms!

    Let me know if you decide to purchase it!

    Hi everyone! I'm new to this website but so far I'm loving it. I have ChaLEAN Extreme and have been through one round of the program. I just received my TurboFire in the mail yesterday and can't wait to get started. I keep hearing about the ChaLEAN Extreme / Turbo Fire hybrid program and I'd love to be able to combine both programs! Can someone please explain how the hybrid works? Thanks!

    Hey! This website is awesome and really helps hold yourself accountable! Also, if you're not already, you can go to www.beachbodycoach.com/ddavies and sign up for a FREE membership on Beachbody where you can log your workouts too and that also helps hold yourself accountable! You're gonna love Turbo Fire!!! It's highly addictive which is a good thing! In your Turbo Fire book, towards the back should be the TF/CE schedule, it will lay it all out for you. If not, let me know and get ready to burn som calories!

    Don't know where you can find it for cheaper other than maybe amazon or ebay, but you may not be getting all of the materials you'll need such as the guidebook or the recipe book. I know it's expensive, but it's actually a lot cheaper than a gym and the great part is, you can keep on using it!

    I'm still here, just checking in! Vacation is going good but amazing how much I hate being off my routine!!!! I wasn't able to get my workout in yesterday and I was not in the best of moods!

    I definately got it done this morning! Felt great and somewhat normal. Other than the junk food lurking around, I'm doing good! I did bring my Shakeology and my veggie burgers and fruit for myself so that's helping!

    I just want to get back home and get on my schedule!

    Keep up the good work everyone and I'll see you when I get back!

    Greetings everyone! I've been doing Chalean Extreme for a month now, I'm just about to complete Phase 1 on Sunday. I'm planning to start the CLX/TF hybrid on Monday with Week 4. I've pretty much done Weeks 1-3 without the Turbo Fire mixed in so I think Week 4 is a perfect place to pick it up. I've been looking to work in more cardio, I'll probably be skipping one of the 6 days each week since I already go to the gym Tues and Thurs to do cardio on the machine there, and I'm working on my running.

    Anyways, I'm really excited to give Turbo Fire a try! I love the cardio workouts for CLX, and I'm fairly coordinated (I've been taking an advanced Zumba class all summer), so this hybrid looks perfect for me! I'm 23 lbs away from my first goal weight and I think this program can get me there by the end of the year if I stick to it.

    had a decent week getting my workouts in this week even thought the kids are off school and i am still working ( i work from home so that makes it a tad easier)
    but now my daughter is sick and i think that i am catching it too so today i rested - no exercise - and of course went over on calories - but its okay
    i did lean 3 and burn it off yesterday and my chest muscles are super sore right now

    this was my first weekend without the kids and it was mighty tough - though i did have time for longer workouts, i also had much more downtime than i am used to and i definitely hit the snacks while wathcing tv to avoid having to just sit and feel - and i know i did

    sitting with the reality of this divorce and all it brings is HARD - necessary work but HARD - and the quiet in this house without my two favorite little people while welcome is deafening all the same time. and it reminds me even more that i am ALONE. and that makes me want to eat

    so when i have weekends to myself. while i want to relax, i also have to make sure that my time is occupied so i don't BINGE like crazy...

    sorry for the ramble... sometimes it helps t write it down.

    here's to another week to kick some BUTT
  • Hi all!

    I just got done with my daughters sweet sixteen dinner this past Friday. Saturday I had a fair to do where I got sun burn on my face. Let's just say I have been running around since Thursday. I havent worked out since then. I slept all day today so I will be back on my schedule tomorrow.

    @ Deb I hope you are having a great vacation.

    @ Allison You will make it through this period of time. It will make you stronger. You are not alone! I am unsure of your spiritual beliefs but non the less you are not alone. Take you time to yourself to do things that you enjoy. Plan your goals for you and your family. Read or go for a walk. I know its hard but it will all pass.If you binge make smart choiices. Have fruits and some peanut butter. Plan your snacks.

    Today starts my CLX/TF hybrid!! I'm excited, I really need something to break this 2 week plateau. I'll be starting with Week 4, so it looks like mostly Turbo Fire workouts for this week. Then I can get back into the strength training with the Push phase from CLX. I previewed some of the workouts last night and it looks challenging but fun! My neighbors in the apartment downstairs will just have to deal with some jumping for the next few months... haha.

    Hey Deb! Thanks for the info -- I found the schedule in my guidebook.

    My name is Shirley and I just started the 5-Day Inferno Plan yesterday. Fire 55 EZ and Stretch 10 Class were my very first two Turbo Fire workouts last night. Tonight when I get home from work it will be Fire 45 / HIIT 20 / Stretch 10. I'll be checking back to see how everyone is doing.

    Hi Ladies - hope I can join this chat even though I'm only doing TF for now. I'm on week 8 day 2 so today I did TF 30 and Stretch 10. Funny thing is that yesterday I felt horrible so I only got through 15 min of TF 55EZ (my fave), Core 20, and 10 min of Stretch 40. My HRM said I burned 289 calories in that 50 min but today it said I burned 704 in 40 min!

    I've been loving TF and will do the TF/CLE hybrid once I complete this initial round...looks like I'll end the 20 weeks in December.

    Can someone tell me more about TF 60? I see it on the schedule in 2 weeks and I might be scared!

    Hey everyone!!! I started the Turbo Fire/CLX hybrid yesterday!! I'm picking up with Week 4, so I did Fire 45. OMG I have never sweat so much in a workout!!! I'm happy that I have been doing Zumba, I was able to pick up the sequences pretty quickly. I really like the energy in the workout and it went by so fast for being 45 minutes. I go to the gym on Tuesday and Thursday (had a great workout today!) so I'll probably be skipping the day where it's Stretch 40 and Core 20. I'll work Core 20 into another day. I've never been a fan of yoga or anything and it bores me out of my mind, so I'm fine with skipping it... haha. It's nice to have a week off from CLX workouts, I need something to bust this plateau to pieces... hehe. I think Chalene can manage that :)

    Hi Shirley! I love that Inferno Plan! I lost a total of 6 inches! Let us know how it goes! So, what do you think so far of TF? Isn't it fun and full of energy? Thanks for keeping us posted!

    Hi Sharon,

    Yes, welcome to the chat, glad to have you! So, how are you liking TF? I can't get enough of it myself! I did TF 60 yesterday and usually, I'm pushing through it, but after vacation and being completely exhausted, I was dogging it; wasn't happy with my calorie burn. But, usually, I burn close to 600 calories with that one! It's tough but even though it's 60min, it goes pretty fast. I would suggest doing the "new to class" option the first couple of times. It's a great workout! Keep up the good work!

    Sara,

    Way to go girl! Woo hoo!!! I've done a few Zumba classes too, so much fun! And I think it does help with getting the choreography down on TF! I'm on yet another plateau myself so time to kick it into gear!

    Hi Deb! I love Turbo Fire. It's helped me to lose 7 lbs in 7 weeks! Today I did 45 EZ and 10 min stretch. HRM said I burned 1031 calories so I was happy. Just bought a Bodybugg for me and my husband and we can't wait to see how those numbers compare to my HRM. 1/2 way through week 8 and pushing hard to see if I can lose another pound by the weekend. I think my eating looks pretty good...feel free to review in case you see anything I could be doing better.

    Have a great day!

    Sharon,

    Wow, good for you!!! That's awesome! Yep, Turbo Fire sure does melt those calories and pounds away, doesn't it?! Let me know how the BodyBugg differs from the HRM; I want one so bad but can't afford it right now. I'm sure you'll hit that goal by the weekend, keep it up! Sounds like you are eating clean; you're getting results that's for sure!

    I'll be posting my workout later, think it's Burn Circuit 2 and Abs 10 for me. Love those ab workouts!

    So I have a question for all of you. I was planning on ordering ChaLean Extreme tonight, just to do this program. What do you think is better ChaLean or Turbo Fire? I would like to lose about 10 lbs and tone up!

    Thanks!!

    Hi rcrews77!

    I think that Chalean Extreme and Turbo Fire are great. I can't see myself without either one. Chalean Extreme is a weight lifting program that pushes you to go heavy with shorter reps (10-12). Muscle burns fat so don't worry about getting bulky.
    Turbo fire is an all out party in your house. It is full of great music and high energy. I absolutely love it. You will truely burn off the fat while having fun. It also has some core and strength workouts thrown in.
    All in all the 2 programs are different from 1 another. If you want weights go for Chalean Extreme. If you want a fun filled cardio workout go for Turbo fire.


    Today is my off day but I will be working out. I had a lot going on since last week Thursday so I didnt get a chance to work out. I worked out last night and it felt great. I will be doing Fire 55ez new to class. I love that new to class feature. I have learned the steps better with that. I will also be doing zumba and some ab work. I'm going to be starting the 200 squats challenge today also. I plan on adding some of my own little workouts to really shred my body. I want this so bad. I hope everyone is having a great week so far. I am so proud of you all! Keep up the great work.

  • Hello Ladies!!!! I am a long time turbo jammer and bought Turbo Fire in July. LOVE The workouts and the music. I decided to buy the chalean extreme as well to kick it up a notch. I cant wait to turn this body around. I just ordered it but it should be here in a week and i've done a month or so of turbo fire. I'm hoping to start the Hybrid towards the end of september since im going to be out of town a lot this month. I've been reading through some of this thread and im so excited to start it. Can't wait to join you guys! Keep rockin out!

    turbo fire is kicking my butt in a good way - there is NOTHING easy about the 45 EZ class but i got through that and HIIT 20 today - also brutal

    i am in the lean phase of CLE which also kicks my butt - lean 3 and my chest is so sore that can't do anything for the next day but i keep pushing through

    i am off work until tuesday with the kids and i am going to try to get up early and work out each day so that i can just have fun for the last week of summer

    one thing is for sure about the workouts - it really does help me forget about all the things i was upset about beforehand - and with everything happening in my life right now that is a LIFESAVER

    night all!

    Hey girls! Well, I'm back on track! Did Fire 30 and Abs 10 today and back to eating clean! It feels great!!! I have to admit, I had a few oops' this past weekend on vacation and the first workout was rough but now I'm back in it. As much as I love being on vacation; I miss my routine!

    I ate clean all day today too and unpacked, got everything in order, did laundry, back on track ladies!! :happy:

    Becky: Welcome to the thread girl! Welcome to the girls who love Turbo Fire!!!! You are going to love the combo of the two programs! I can't wait to hear what you think of Chalean Extreme!

    So, I can't wait until Friday ladies!!!! Chalene is coming to Seattle and I'm going to workout live with her for a second time!!!! I will definately post pics! I can't even contain myself, I'm so excited!!!! :bigsmile: We're going to do a Turbo Kick workout and then a Hustle workout; I've done TK, but not hustle and looking forward to it!

    Hope everyone had a great day and had good workouts!!! Keep pushing that play button!

    Wow! I'm so jealous that you get to work out with Chalene!!! Definitely give us all the details!

    I did Day 2 of Week 4 for the hybrid today, sorta. Instead of just doing HIIT 15 and Stretch 10, I did HIIT 15 and Core 20. That Core workout was tough! The HIIT wasn't too bad, but I was trying not to jump too hard since I live on the second floor of an apartment building. Don't want my neighbors storming up to my apartment and find me at the door sweaty in a sports bra... hahah! I need to make sure my HRM chest strap is tighter next time, it wasn't picking up my heart rate for half of the HIIT workout from all the jumping. When it was though, my heart rate was 180, which is about as high as I can get it (180-183 is my highest range). Tomorrow is a gym day for me, I'm gonna shoot for running 30 minutes, with as few walk breaks as possible in there.
  • SO..i have a question for you ladies...since I am about a month in of Turbo fire, but have not done any of chalean extreme, would you recommend that I finish TF then move on to extreme? or just start the hybrid when I can? I was flipping through the hybrid schedule from TF and I noticed that in the later weeks she starts incorporating some of the advanced dvds from TF (which, i did not purchase but could sub them out for other ab videos). Thanks!

    Morning girls! It's going to be a beautiful day here in Seattle! We haven't had nearly enough summer!!!

    Haven't done my workouts yet, but just wanted to pop in before I do. Looks like I've got Fire 45 EZ and Stretch 10 on the schedule; love those EZ workouts! Calorie burners!!!

    Sara: Girl, you are a machine!!! Love your motivation and drive! I should tighten up my chest strap too on my HRM to get better results. So, what workouts do you do at the gym?

    Becky: Are you doing the12 week program? I mean I'm tempted to say jump into the hybrid, but then the kind of person I am, I would want to finish it out and then start the hybrid. That's a toss up, but I would say, finish out TF and then do the hybrid.

    Well ladies, I'll be back, time to log in to WOWY for my chance to win! Have you logged in today?

    Have a great day and make it a healthy one!

    Deb
  • Yup, I'm on the 12 week plan. I'd like to do them separately and then maybe try the hybrid after i complete both, but then again, I dont know if i can wait that long to try ChaLean! Hahaha. I guess we'll see how it goes, maybe i'll make my own hybrid! :)

    Wow!!!! So, apparently, I haven't done Fire 45 EZ!!!! It was by no means EZ!!! But, I loved learning a new routine; I did the new to class option! Good stuff! I can't wait to get to the lean phase, I know it'll be a while, but it's my fav phase in the CE program!

    Becky: I think that's a good decision. Keep pushing play with Turbo Fire and you'll be more than ready for the hybrid! Keep at it girl! How are your results thus far?

    I hope you all have a great day and keep up the good work! Rock those workouts!

    Hi Ladies! Hope you're all planning to push play today. On tap today was Core 20 and Stretch 40. I know stretching is an integral part of this program but jeez my HRM only showed 193 cal burned and my Bodybugg (day 1 today) showed 169 cal burned. I feel like I slacked off because I didn't burn at least 500 cals! Tomorrow the schedule has me doing my 2nd fave - 45 EZ - so I know things will improve.

    I think I need to go for a walk during lunch to see if I can burn some more.

    Have a good one! Deb I am so jealous to hear you're going to work out with Chalene. Take lots of pics!

    Sharon

    ETA the scale this morning showed a 1 lb drop. Official weigh-in is Saturday but I like to monitor my progress daily.
