Workout Check In
Replies

Today I walked to the wellness center on campus to do Zumba, since it is a free class. However, the instructor didn't show up, so instead I did the insanity "fit test" with some people from my residence hall. I definitely found out quick that I would not like the Insanity program! I still feel good, like I got a work out in, so that is good! Looking forward to this week! I unfortunately am still working on finishing up week 3 because of my rocky start at the beginning of the program (and lots of excuses). This was my 6th day in a row working out, and I cannot remember the last time that I worked out that many days in a row, so I am proud of myself! I look forward to keeping up with this and seeing results!0

HIIT 20 and Stretch 10. I'm pretty exhausted so I'm happy to have a rest day tomorrow. But no ChaLEAN tonight so I can work work work tonight!0
-
Fire 30 & Sculpt 30 today! I really feel myself pushing harder with each workout! And yes looking forward to a rest day tomorrow0
-
I did Low HIIT 25 tonight. I thought about having my rest day today, but decided to push through. I was thinking about not taking a rest day tomorrow, but the next workout is HIIT 15, so I have a question. The program says not to do two HIIT workouts in a row, so I was wondering if you guys have ever done two in a row, or if I should just take my rest day tomorrow for sure.0

Mylifeasolive: I have done hiit workouts back to back and I was fine however I tried to take it easy on the jumping because I knew my knees would feel it. I only do it once in a while when I am short on time.
Did fire 30 and sculpt 30 today. I have to move my rest day to Saturday because I am going out of town so tomorrow will be fire 55 and aerobics again.0 -
Well I decided not to double up as I was still sore from the last two days so I just did aerobics today which was still tough. I am still working out 6 days a week even if once in a while it is not turbo fire so I am happy with that. I can tell most are on rest day because no one has checked in since me yesterday:)0
-
I took my rest day yesterday and did Fire 30 and Strength 30 today. Both were considerably easier than they have been, although I still worked up a great sweat and burned major calories.0
-
I indeed took my rest day today, partly because after I wrote the post yesterday, two of my friends were going to do one of their last days of Insanity and asked if I wanted to join. They said I could "push through!" So I decided to join them and got an extra workout in last night. Today I really suffered with my eating! I am ready to get back to my workout tomorrow (Or should I say today)! HAPPY THURSDAY!0

Yesterday was a rest day and I needed it!
Just to recap Monday (Fire55 EZ) and Tuesday (Fire 30/Sculpt) - Noticing that 55 doesn't seem as long to me anymore and 30 goes by like a sweaty breeze!
Today, I missed my workout to sleep in a little. Not to share TMI...but I always struggle working out when it's at the start of TOM. By by the second day I'm good to go. I'm going to add today's workout to Saturday to get all of my workouts in for the week.0 -
I just finished with 45 minutes of Zumba and the Turbo Fire HIIT 15! That one kicks my butt! It felt amazing after my rest day yesterday! Great work everybody!!!0
-
Great job mylifeasolive!!!! Zumba is a lot of fun!!!
Did fire 30 and tone 30. Will probably feel that one in a day or two. I am going out of town tomorrow afternoon until sat evening so I will be eating out. Will still workout tomorrow but am taking Saturday as a day off. I will try to pick something healthier or a half order of something I love. I only get to eat out once ever couple of months so it doesn't stress me out as much. Hope everyone will have a great weekend!!0 -
HIIT 20 right now and Burn Circuit 2 later today. Yesterday was my rest day and I fully enjoyed it. I'm not down any weight, but I lose half an inch in my waist and a bit in my calves this week. So that's a win as far as I'm concerned!0
-
Fire 30/Tone 30 today! I noticed another workout on the DVD called Burn Circuit 1, has anyone done this one? I don't see it on the schedule but I'm curious.....0

That's ChaLEAN Extreme. I'm doing that along with Turbo Fire. It's still Chalene Johnson, but it's her heavy lifting workout series. I do those instead of the strength routines in Turbo Fire. I like lifting heavy! I think she did it a year or two before Turbo Fire. It's a great strength series.0 -
Ahhh interesting! Thanks Aquarabbit!0
-
Just finished Fire 55 and I think I pushed harder tonight than I ever have before! I went to a happy hour right after work and wanted to stay but I forced myself to go home and get the work out done and then meet up with people later this evening. So proud of myself for not giving in and sticking to it!0
-
I did Fire 45 this morning and Core 20. Since I moved things around this week, I will be doing Fire 30 and Tone 30 tomorrow. I am feeling really energized and inspired to keep going! :bigsmile: Since I am feeling particularly energetic today, I decided to order ChaLean Extreme and plan on going right in to that after Turbo Fire. I know some of you mentioned doing that program next - so for those of you who are, let's do another motivational group!
Happy Saturday!0 -
This morning was the Fire 45 EZ for me! I can tell just how much easier it is now, than when I first started! I decided to take another rest day yesterday because I had a particularly busy day, and I did my double workout on Thursday.0
-
Fire 45 today & pushed to my limit! I'm actually sore from all the jumps so I'm looking forward to Stretch 40 tomorrow.0
-
Fire 30 and Tone 30 today - sweating like mad!0
-
I did core 20 today, but did some stretching on my own instead of stretch 40! I have been avoiding this combination since I started the program because I am more interested in cardio. However, it went really fast and now I just want to improve on those exercises! I also decided to do about 15 minutes on a treadmill just to get some cardio in. I forgot how boring a treadmill is! I'm so happy I'm doing turbo!0
-
Yeah I have always found the treadmill boring and found time crawled while on it!! With turbo an hour flies by!! Did fire 55 today and felt great. I went Christmas shopping this weekend and it took two full days so I probably walked a total of 14 hours during that time. I am happy to be back home and on track. Can't believe I am already in my sixth week of turbo!!!0
-
Fire 45 today. I was sweating buckets! But we're going to see Thor 2 with friends tonight so I'm glad I got it in now. I might even allow myself a slurpee at the theater.0
-
Fire 55 EZ today for me! It flew by! I can't believe how much energy I have! By now I would of quit because of exhaustion or boredom but here I am starting my 6th week!0
-
I did Fire 55 EZ last night, but forgot to check in. I noticed I had a lot more stamina, but my legs were crying from Tone 30! Love that we are sticking with this and pushing forward each day!0
-
As usual, I did Zumba yesterday! Today I will be doing Fire 55 EZ. I'm happy because this is the last day of week 3 for me. I got so behind because of my lack of commitment in the beginning, and now my two days a week of Zumba! However, I am still determined to get through the whole program even though I am behind! Thank you everyone for keeping me accountable!0
-
Great job everybody!!!! We will be in our 12 th week before we know it!!! I did fire 30 and sculpt 30 today. I am finding it hard to get the right amount of resistance with my band. I already use the medium band which is the one up from the one that comes with the program. I can't find my thicker band so I might have to go shopping for a new one. Certain excercises are still difficult with it like the shoulder work but my biceps have definitely gotten stronger.0

Hello all!
Mommy duties has caused me to miss my workouts for the past two days. With tomorrow being a rest day, I'm going to repeat the 6th week. My rational is that if I miss two days, keep it moving! But if I miss three days in a row without a workout...it's a redo. I will continue with Thursday as normal, but repeating the week all together.
Loving that the group is still going strong!0 -
Bravo - Great job for sticking with it even when life gets in the way! Every workout counts even if we get off a bit
I did Fire 30 and Sculpt 30 today. Mel - I know exactly what you mean about the resistance. I find it hard to find the right resistance ons some of the exercises too. I lost the band that came with it, so I am working with one I bought at a sports store. Its a red one - not sure what the weight is though.0 -
Fire 55 today. It was alright. I overslept today and I feel so lazy the rest of the day when I do that! So it was a lot of coffee this morning and now I can give my full attention to ACIV: Black Flag until my husband comes home and takes over. But I'm glad I didn't start playing before my workout. I haven't gotten too far into the game yet, but I'm pretty sure Chalene wouldn't stand a chance against Edward Kenway as far as my attention is concerned.0
