hi everyone,

On May 1st, i'll be starting the Turbo Fire program and i'm really excited to start this program. It'll be my 30th bday in August and i'm planning a big birthday blowout vacation - so i'm hoping to be in tip top shape by then. Anyone want to start with me? It'd be nice to have a few buddies to share our experience in doing this crazy, amazing program!

    Hi there,

    I just started TF on Thursday, not sure if I'll so the entire class as suggested or if I'll do a hybrid Chalean Extreme and TF hybrid schedule, since I get bored very easily doing the same thing every single day. I'm giving TF a try as suggested for a week to see how it goes and then I'll decide. Either way, stay in touch, we can help keep each other motivated. That's what this site is all about....sharing, keeping motivated and having others on your corner cheering you on too. :smile: I have an August goal too...going to the beach with my entire family (don't want them seeing me in a bathing suit as I am now) and will also celebrate my 5th anniversary. So as the saying goes...IT's ON!

    Im doing Turbo Fire! I dont use the schedule but I workout with it. I LOVE it too! I think I will start using the schedule soon though once I figure out how to work it into my running and strength training schedule.

    morning everyone!

    thanks for all the replies - every time i see positive words/results about this program, i get even more excited to start it.

    question for all of you - has anyone done the inferno plan? are those workouts manageable for someone who's just starting out turbo fire? i plan on getting acquainted with all the workouts this week and then, on May 1st - i'm going to give that schedule a go.

    @l3xxi - thanks so much for adding me girl! yay for bdays - let's do this!!!!!!! how often are you doing the workouts right now?

    @cookie22684 - congrats on making it to week 14! that's amazing. i bought the advance workouts as well so my aim is to do the 20 week program. when did you start noticing results?

    @InMyJeans - so glad to hear you love it! i'm fully prepared to get my butt kicked with these workouts but i know it'll be worth it. you mentioned that you are running too? i just recently started the couch to 5k program (which i'd still like to keep up b/c i want to participate in a 5k at the end of september.) Do you train on your own or are you using a program? How do you find balancing the turbo fire with running?

    @nephie hi girl!! thanks so much for adding me! i love all the support from this site..it's definitely better to know others are in this with me! we can definitely do this and be super-stylin swim suit hotties for august! i'm game!!!! soooo, how did you find the first few days of TF? did you do Chalean Extreme before this?

    anyway, keep posting back here ladies - let's stay motivated! Happy Easter to you all!

    @angel1029 - i missed you in my big post - somehow your message didn't show up :/ thanks for replying! i'm really confident that if i stick with it that i'll get results. i've done P90, turbo jam and slim in 6 before and they gave me great results. i have to admit though that after awhile those programs started to bore me. i like that turbo fire mixes it up so you have a variety from week to week.

    Hi -- Can I join you, too? I'm starting the Push Phase (Month 2) of ChaLean Extreme and adding Turbo Fire (maybe Turbo Jam) to my non-lifting days. When I'm done with CLX, I'm going to start TF and follow the schedule. But, for now, I'd like to do this hybrid version. Good luck, everyone!

    Hi -- I believe you can order through Amazon, but just make sure the company you use is a "trusted" seller and that you can return them if they're defective. If you search for Beachbody products, you'll see a lot of complaints from people who got burned copies, incomplete sets, etc -- so just make sure you can get what you want and return it if you need to.

    I just bought Turbo Fire from Beachbody, and am being charged the $20 for 6 months rather than all at once. That made it more do-able for me. Hope this helps.

    $20 a month is doable I wonder if they ship to the uk? Thanks I'll look into that :)

    Hi there!

    I am new to the site and I just got the Turbofire set of DVDs from a friend (only the DVDs, no resistance band or anything else that comes with it, but I think I'll be able to manage). I would love to start with you, I might start a week early (tomorrow) but would love to have a few friends to help me stay motivated! I have a bad track record when it comes to sticking to a workout routine but this time I am REALLY determined!

    I am not sure if I have enough room in my house to do the workouts so that may mean I can't do it, but I will try and hopefully get started!

    Hi There
    I'd like in on this too but I won't be able to start until May 9th - that's when I plan to be finished with 30 day shred. Right now I do shred + cardio that could be power walking ( have issues with my left knee) card/weights or beloved turbo jam!! I might start the using turbo fire for my extra cardio on May 1st so can keep up with you all. I will probably be modifying some of it some my knee is okay but I'm in!! I tried this last year when I quit smoking but I lost motivation to work out . I feel like I've finally got my groove back and I don't want to miss out on my opportunity to be fit and healthy. It only gets tougher as we get older, unfortunately.
    My birthday isn't until November ; I'll be 49. I'd really like to be lean and fit so I don't trip so much about how I look and feel in my clothes. I look forward to getting to know all of you better on this 90 day journey

    I would like to join. I will be doing a hybrid with Zumba. I plan on doing Turbo Fire 4 days a week and Zumba 2 days.

    Yay for turning 30! I just did back in January and I'm determined to have a figure that will carry me on through my 60s and 70s--- and it starts now!
    I'm working on turboFire now, the prep-schedule until I get back from a week-long trip for work on 13 May. But the way I schedule my workouts is to have Friday as an off day (date night!) and everything falls in place from there. Please add me as a friend (and I'll do the same)--- although we'll be a little off schedule, I'm more than happy to throw in those words of encouragement--- it's really a great program. Word of advice: DRINK A LOT OF WATER all the time! :-) Have fun!!!

    I'm in week 8. Feel free to add me :)

    I agree with the drink lots of water advice. And, this might sound like a no brainer, but make sure your diet is where it should be. I went weeks 1-6 without changing my eating habits, and lost 2 lbs only. I started eating better last week, and lost 2 lbs in one week as opposed to 6 weeks. I feel like I've cheated myself...but I'm moving forward and doing my best from now on!

    Hi everyone!

    It makes me incredibly happy that there are so many fabulous ladies doing this program! I can't wait to see all our results!

    So my goal this week is "turbo fire prep" along with couch to 5k/turbojam. I'm going to try and learn as many moves as I can so that I can give it my all during Week 1 (May 1st).

    What are your goals?

    ps. i'm adding you girls as friends :smile:

    hey betharose7,
    i looked all over the internet and ended up ordering from Beachbody. JulianneR is right - you can try Amazon but watch for the trusted dealers. Another option is Ebay or craiglist/kijiji. I found someone selling a half-used DVD set on craiglist for $50. Hope that helps! Let us know if/when you start!

    Hey JulianneR,
    Of course you can - the more the merrier! I was debating between ChaLean Extreme and TurboFire before ultimately settling on TF. I might do that hybrid after i finish TF. How do you like it so far?

    I am on day 2 of the inferno plan so would love to start the regular plan with you guys, it will keep me motivated to keep at it.

    It's on girl! let's do this! May 1st is the big date to start. Tell me about the Inferno Plan... Was it easy-peasy or challenging? on May 1st, i'm going to jump into the regular schedule and maybe do Inferno on week 3.

    welcome to the boards and you most definitely can start with us! if you start today, let me know how the big Day 1 was! I'm the same way - i'm a yo-yo exerciser (if there is even a term like that). i tend to get into these exercise cycles and then just take a small "break" which lasts until I decide I need to get into shape again. pretty bad, i know. anyway, that's why i know that if I have a great support group, I'll feel motivated enough to do this program until the end. keep us posted!!!!

    i realize i'm probably clogging up this thread by individually responding to each message - sorry guys - but i really do want to welcome everyone!

    @DragonFly11 So glad you are joining us. I've heard a lot about 30 day shred - how are you liking it? I love love love turbo jam but I feel like i need something stronger. (that's partly why I ordered TF) Congrats on quitting smoking! I completely hear you on looking and feeling better in your clothes! Let's own this! ps. are you really going to be 49 in November? you look fabulous - I would have never guessed!

    @curlygirlyful - yayy! thanks for joining us! August is going to be a great month ;) Let me know when your TF arrives. Can't wait to start the program!

    @ch0c0lati3r so aweeessoooome!!!! welcome welcome! good luck on Day 1 - you have to let me know how it goes!

    @robynrae_1 welcome to our thread girl! zumba is so much fun. i love to dance so i'm slightly biased. (i think that's why i like all the turbo workouts - they are so dance-y!) Can't wait to start with y'all on May 1st!

    @hoyagirl03 well happy belated birthday girl and a big AMEN to having a figure that will carry you through the years! so cute about Friday date night - that's my BFF girls night (no matter how busy are schedules are, we always do Friday ladies nights!) thanks for the tip - i'll add you - looking forward to getting to know you better on here!

    @ladybug1620 Week 8! congrats girl! i totally hear you on the diet part...i think that's going to be the biggest challenge for me. i'm pretty good at working out but I LOVE food and I tend to go out to dinner with my friend more than I should. However, I have a big goal that I'm working towards so I'm going to have the diet on lockdown. keep posting here ok? i want to hear about your progress!

    CLX is AMAZING! I just started the Push Phase (which is month 2). In the first month, I lost 8 lbs and about 6 inches from all over. At first, to be honest, I was a little bummed because I figured I'd have those results with just watching my calories. I have been religious about following WW and really giving my all in the workouts. But then, just in the last week, it feels like something really switched on for me and I lost 2 lbs in just a few days, and am feeling stronger and leaner. Funny how our bodies work and respond, huh? I'm getting very strong too. I added Turbo Jam in the last couple of weeks, and I guess that is probably part of what is making a difference. Cardio is my weakness, but I am getting better at it. TF will be very intense for me, I'm sure ...
