Join me! Turbo Fire/Chalean Extreme hybrid starts today!!!

I'm sorry you're not feeling well Prixy. I thought 1200 calories was too low as well which is why I never did the Inferno. Have some fruit or a small protein shake for an instant sugar boost. Hope you feel better soon.

Great job! I always neglect the ab workouts, mainly because they are really painful on my tailbone. I have issues with my tailbone from when I slid into home playing softball in middle school (it hadn't rained in a month...) and it hurts to sit on hard surfaces sometimes. So any ab work that requires situps, sitting back far, or balancing on my bum I can't really do without being in pain. Kinda sucks, but I like the first half of Core 20 since it works your abs standing up. And the regular cardio workouts in Turbo Fire do a good job with abs from all the kicks and knees and side-side movement type things. My obliques are great, I can feel them when I put my hands on my waist

I'm with you Sara, my tailbone hurts everytime I go down even with the mat I put underneath, but I still try to do abs workouts once a week... and as you, I can feel my obliques in shape, is weird that they mark faster than the frontal ones, but at least they make a beautiful waist line in us :ohwell:

So, today I'm feeling much better, honestly I thought I was going to fade out yesterday, I was soooo cold inside and had nauseas but I drank some hot skimmed milk (low fat) and ate a few candies to higher my sugar....I'm not eating the exact meals of the Inferno Plan but I'm trying to incorporate as much fiber, protein, veggies as she does, however, I'm not eating peanut butter as recommended by her plan so maybe that's what brought me down yesterday...

I must say I'm excited about this workout, yesterday I did burn circuit 3 once I'd recovered and I felt awesome...so in total (Fire 45, 20 HIIT, 10 strech and Burn 3) I burned 1100 calories of which 566 were fat calories as per my polar...so I'm so happy with that...this would be my 5th day of the plan, meaning my last one and I'm about to do 55 EZ and Strech 10, after this I'll take Saturday off and start on Sunday with my fourth week of Chalean Extreme. I can't wait to check my results of the inferno tomorrow, I'll definitely keep you posted because I need to buy a good scale maybe tomorrow or Sunday :indifferent:

Deb come back to us!! hehe we miss your energy!!
Sharon you are such an inspiration, you are doing a great work and even if you are only burning 150 calories one day a week, that means that your body really needs those days of fewer effort, and I bet with the HIIT you continued burning throughout your day without even noticing...

Sara and Swinnie, you girls are rocking!! Love your habit! :happy:

Gdivant!! Are you getting married as well?? come on tell us about it!

Hope you all have a great Friday with the ones you care or at least relaxed and happy

Yesterday was my first day TF sculpt. I had done the hiit 15 but when I went to do the sculpt I just plain quit. I'm not sure why. One thought was that if you only do it once every two weeks are you really building any muscle? Thinking I may replace it with a Cathe routine or something. Any advice? So irritated with myself for giving up on a workout.

Bella - I'm not yet advanced, but this is a very active thread someone will give you some great insight. If HIIT 25 is considered advanced I'm struggling to push myself to level 9-10 the entire time. I hit (ha ha hit) pause to try to catch my breath in the middle - after the 1st 2 HIITs. Hope this helps!

I, sometimes hit pause too being an asthmatic. I use my inhaler, couldn't do it without it.

cranked out a great hour on the tread then did Ab Jam and HIIT 15. Have a great day all.

Hey Sharon and Robin, great burned! Yesterday I ate a lot, hopefully I'll make that up today by eating 1500kc back..

So I finished the inferno plan on Friday and yesterday I took my measurements and weighed, here are the results:

I lost 3 lbs (for a total of 4 lost in 3 weeks) and 1.5 inches overall during 5 days!! Honestly, I'm glad with these results, even if I didn't lose any inches around my belly, which is the area I want to tone faster but I definitely feel my heart stronger with that week of tough cardio and my shape looks stronger... besides I didn't eat the meal plan she advised and I had to eat 1400kc on 2 days, so I'm very happy with the results.

I already made a calendar with the hybrid TF and CLX for the next 6 weeks until my wedding...I'll continue the weight training 3 days per week and I'll do cardio 4-5 days, I didn't include the sculpt nor tone videos because I find them very similar to the weight training of CLX so I'll stuck with the HIITs, 55 EZ, 45 Ez, 45 and stretches...

Wish you all a great Sunday!! Hugs!

Had ChaLEAN Extreme and did it about two weeks. Just got TurboFire. Main goal is to lose weight but would like to tone as well. Should I do straight TurboFire for weightloss or the hybrid? Either way I will go back and do CXT when I am done. Thanks! (Just became a coach too)

I've done just Chalean Extreme and now I'm doing the hybrid (I started doing the hybrid at Week 4 since I started with CLX). Personally, I tend to lose more weight while doing the parts of the hybrid schedule that don't have the CLX strength workouts. The strength workouts in Turbo Fire tend to get my heartrate up more, and I burn more calories doing them. And I'm still reallllly feeling the workout in my muscles. I'm just not as big of a fan with the Chalean Extreme workouts that are just strength training. I think interval training/circuit training, or at least strength training that gets my heart rate up is what I prefer. I also have another 13-ish pounds to go before I'm a healthy weight, so I'm focusing on losing fat while building up some muscle, rather than a main focus on toning. So it depends on your goals. I'd say Turbo Fire is good for fat burning, CLX is better for toning.

Hi Rhonda! Welcome to the group!

Today, as I mentioned yesterday, is the start of week 16 and is a recovery week according to the schedule; however, since I wanted to work up a really good sweat I substituted Core 20/Stretch 40 with Fire 60. I really love that one, especially the Bad Girl routine! Bodybugg said I burned 494 calories which is almost 4x what it would have said had I stuck to the schedule. I know my body needs this recovery week and I plan to pick it back up tomorrow per the schedule which has Fire 30/Stretch 10 and a couple of days of 45 EZ for the rest of the week. Next week...HIIT month...OMG HIIT 30 the mother of all HIIT workouts!

Hope you all are having an awesome Monday!
Sharon

Hi Elaine! Welcome to our little corner of the world! So glad you joined and look forward to hearing your success as you work through the hybrid! Are you using the schedule Chalene included in the TF guide or did you create your own?

Sharon

ok, question for you all! Did you guys follow the scedule that Chalean has in the Turbo Fire book regarding the hybrid, or did you just come up with your own? There are some videos that I can't do with the Turbo Fire because my discs are totatlly scratched! ( i bought it off ebay...and this is what I get! ) Turbo Fire 30 , no good, will not work at all, not matter how much I clean it.

So I'm just wondering if I should make my own schedule and if there are some of you out there who do it what do you suggest?
Thanks again!

ok, thanks Sara. I can't wait to see some results from this, I love Chalean's workouts!

Well I think I am going to go ahead and do the Hybrid starting today. If anyone wants to be a fitness buddy in the WOWY Gym my name on there is WhatAWaist Bama! If I don't see some number whether it is on the scale, inches, or bodyfat% then I will go back to just TF. Good luck to everyone who is doing these workouts. I love them!
