    Hey everyone! I'm new to your thread here, but I just wanted to ask if anyone was doing the Chalean Extreme/Turbo Fire hybrid?

    I've been doing Chalean Extreme for a month now and I'm one Burn Circuit 3 away from completing the Burn Phase. I saw the hybrid workout and it looks like Week 4 would be a great place to jump into it, since I've pretty much done Weeks 1-3 already minus the few Turbo Fire workouts in there. If you're on the hybrid, how do you like it? I'm always looking for ways to get more cardio in, and I LOVE Chalean Extreme so far, especially the cardio workouts. Thanks everyone! I'll probably be starting on Monday, if I decide I want to do it.

    Well my brand-new Turbo Fire arrived today. Hubby thinks he's going to do the 5-day Inferno Plan with me starting Monday. Anyone do that? It looks like starving yourself to death....1200 calories in, and burning tons doing the workouts....we'll see. There are before and after pics and it looks like there is no way they could have just been doing the plan for 5 days, so I am wondering if anyone has tried it and what kind of results you have gotten. I'm not sure I can give up my coffee and Propel fitness water as it recommends.....

    Do those of you following the class schedule also follow the Fuel the Fire nutrition guide?

    You know I never got around to doing the inferno plan. It's basically a 1500 calorie deficit or more a day, so one could expect to lose 5 pounds or so plus some water weight I suppose. Maybe I will do it for my last few pounds since vie been eating maintenance for the last few weeks.

    I haven't been doing the fuel the fire. Just mfp and lots of fruits, veggies, and protein

    I never did the Inferno plan either. Just jumped right into MFP and week 1 of the TF schedule. If you haven't done any TF workouts yet you might consider going through week 1 first and then doing Inferno. The workouts with Inferno are the 2 longest ones so you really want to be able to get through them w/o too many breaks.

    Good luck!

    Didn't eat that great yesterday, so did an extra workout this morning to burn off some extra cals. Fire 45 & Fire 30. Got a major sweat on!! I really need to invest in a HRM so I know exactly how many cals I'm burning, instead of the estimate I use (kickboxing including Turbo Jam).

    I think a new thread would be great. Do we want to start it now or on Monday??? I'm game for whatever you guys want to do.

    Did Fire 45 today...love that one!

    Try the inferno plan. I am just finishing day 2, but after the first day, I was down about 4 pounds! I couldn't believe it. My hubby is doing it with me and he was down 4 pounds after the first day too! I know most of it is probably water weight, but it is still weight and makes my pants feel tight! So I am glad to be taking off weight of any kind! After Friday I will let you know how much we have lost doing the inferno. We are hungry, but not TOO bad most of the time. MFP does tell me that I am below the number of calories I should be eating, etc. but I figure it is only five days and then we will nudge the calories up a bit again.

    :happy: Hey Ladies and Gents,

    Still working out and loosing weight. I lost a few more pounds and only 2 pounds away from my 2nd goal. Had to stop working out for a week to give my knees a break. Been working out hard since I started insanity back in March. I will be doing another round of insanity on Monday but will incorporate turbo fire on some of the days. Looking forward to see better results. So glad everyone is hanging in there. Let us know how you are doing from time to time to keep the motivation level up.

    PUSH PLAY AND HAVE A GREAT NIGHT:happy:

    I am here still pushing play. Had to take a break and rest my knees. I was in some serious pain. But now feeling better and kicking stronger. I have been going to the gym and taking different classes. Still doing Turbo Fire Hits for some extra added cardio. So what have you all been up too?

    Hi Sara!

    I just ordered my turbo fire today... My main question is how do I figure out how many calories I burn with each workout and how do we enter it into my fitness pal?
  • telcochik

    For those of you that want to know how to measure calorie burn during Turbo Fire do yourself a favor and get a heart rate monitor or Bodybugg. Create a custom entry to log your exercise and use the results from your device.

    Not sure what to do after falling off the wagon...that's easy...get right back on. You are not on a diet. You are on a journey. You may have a lot of stops/starts along the way but if you keep in mind that this is a way of life and not a short term fix then a slip here and there is meaningless. Need a cheerleader to kick your butt and keep you motivated...friend me and I promise to be there for you.

    YOU CAN DO IT!

    Day two of Turbo Fire! Pretty cool.

    I have done the Insanity programs but needed a break. I found that although it was always challenging I was getting bored with the workouts (having done them 3 different times) but couldn't go back to the others like Brazilian Butt Lift because it no longer was a challenge. This program ( along with this website/app) might just be my answer!

    Do I need to long in to see the forums or can I also access those using the iPhone app? I will have to look into a Bodybugg too....

    Hi everyone! I'm sooo glad to find people who are willing to lose weight and actually workout like I love to. My friends are not motivated to workout and have no desires in losing weight though they complain about being overweight. I've always been athletic, but after getting married and having children, I don't have the body I used to have. I got up to 171lbs and was so depressed. I ordered Turbo Fire and have worked on it for several weeks but not like I should. I really need help staying motivated (as I'm pretty much doing this alone) so that I will stay on track.

    I asked my son today if he could tell that Turbo Fire was doing anything for me and he said "Yeah it's making you sweat." Seriously you can't tell anything about my body? My daughter told me last night (after I had been called back into work and by the time I got home it was 9pm) that I hadn't worked out and I informed her that I was aware. She stated "well you're just gonna get fatter." My children love me, can't you tell? This is a real motivation killer.

    I am down 15lbs and about 10" since I started my dieting in November 2010. I workout several times a week and count my calories on Livestrong everyday. I ordered the bodybugg today. I really want to get more motivation and get this weight off. I know it's going to be a while before I can reach my goal of 125lbs but I would really like to have about another 15lbs gone and be toned before I go on my cruise in June.

    Please help me stay motivated.

    Hello there,

    My name is Carolina, Im a 28 years old and a SAHM of two kiddos, a little girl soon to be 5 and a boy almost 3. I am really loving TF is really my type of workout. I am currently at the tail end of week two. I actually look forward to working out thats how much I like TF but I am dissapointed that after almost two weeks I haven seen any weight loss or any types of changes. I know everyone is different but I really expected to see something at the beginning. I currently weigh 147 and trying to get down to 135. I also did some tweaking with my calories,because I think I wasnt eating enough all of last week. My rest day this week I was pretty slugish and even felt lightheaded at times, so I figured I just wasnt eating enough. I consider myself pretty active, besides this workout I take flamenco dance classes twice a week...so right now im gonna try to eat in between 1800 and 2000 I guess depending on how active my day is..Im gonna try to stay motivated and keep pushing forward because I know as long as I work hard I will see some kind of results right??!!
