    I did 55EX today. I had no energy all day. I knew that once I started and finished I would feel better. and I did. Also I got a great burn 620 cals.

    Would love to add some of y'all as friends. I have been doing TF for about 8 weeks, but not as serious about it as I should have been. Now I'm more committed and also have made changes to my diet and logging my intake using this site.

    good evening all!

    happy humpday!

    welcome aboard @dixiedavidson.

    today was my rest day and oddly enough, i'm kinda sore from all the workouts so i really needed it. i was planning on taking a walk but completely missed it. tomorrow is sculpt 30/HIIT 15 and i actually have to get up early at 5:30 just to workout. i'm already grumpy about that. haha. just gotta bite the bullet right?

    yay @myroots i love when clothes fit and you can get into things from the past. i have a whole bunch of cute, unworn outfits that i'm hoping to get into by at least the end of this year.

    hope you all had a fantastic day! :heart:

    Hi Everyone,

    I skipped my rest day today (haha, that sounds funny), because I have to get up super-early tomorrow. So I'm resting tomorrow instead. I did Fire 45ez and Stretch 10.

    Are the "ez" workouts ones that don't contain HIIT workouts? That's what I'm guessing, but I'm not really positive. Fire 45 was definitely a good workout!

    I read a couple of peoples' posts who were talking about Stretch 10. So far, I've done it everyday that has called for it except 1 b/c of time. I feel like it is kind of old, but the stretch is really good, and it is essential to work on flexibility. Plus, we are still burning calories... it definitely counts!

    Anyway, it was fun reading everyone's posts. Great job! :flowerforyou:

    Hi...
    I am new here to myfitnesspal and recently started the turbo fire program.. I am on week 3.. I have done insanity and p90x in the past and for some reason I am struggling to keep up with this one.. I think my lack of coordination is a major problem..
    but I am gonna stick to it...
    Was wondering what you log in your exercise under for the most accurate calorie burn/count... I have been using kickboxing (turbo jam).. which I think would be the closest. But when it comes to the HIIT workouts I think it would be much more then what
    it is telling me.. I guess I should just invest in a good HRM/calorie counter.. any good (semi-cheap) recommendation?

    I have the sportline duo which is designed for females. I love it.


    Today is Fire 30/Stretch 10. Can't wait to get my Turbo on!

    I got a polar f4 from amazon.com for 90.00 (total including shipping) I love it so much and even got one for my Bestie for Mothers day and she loves it too.

    I had an older Polar and it finally wore down and out. I purchased a BodyMedia at Best Buy for $99 and it's the best money I ever spent.

    It reallys helps with accountability. You can log calorie intake, see calorie burn and calorie deficit (hopefully). It logs your physical activity, steps taken and even your sleep duration.

    I find myself pushing even harder during workouts and walking more just to see how it progresses throughout the day. As a teacher I am pretty restricted walking, but during my breaks I walk the upstairs to the second floor and always find myself walking to the front office. I also coach football and track and always wanted to know how calories I burned out on the practice fields.

    I love the BodyMedia.

    First time posting here. I'm in week 9 (wow!...had to count. didn't realize it's been that long!) of my own mix of TurboFire and TurboJam. I started with TurboFire schedule but started getting shin splints. Got new shoes and added padding to the floor, and in the meantime, I started doing some lower-impact TurboJam with the handweights. I basically stuck with that and just do whatever workout I feel like doing that day. If I feel like pumped-up music and jumping around, I do TF; if I feel like working some muscle, I do a TJ with weights. Anyways, it's been working for me.

    61 days in and I'm down 22 lbs!!!

    Awesome- I think we all love seeing someone who has been doing it and succeeding.

    Today I did CLX Burn Circuit 3. My arms are getting strong! Oh, and I mowed the lawn in 90 degree heat. We went from 60's to 90's the last 3 days and we have been SWEATY.

    Fire 30 & Tone 30 today, burned a total of 528 calories. So I really am not a fan of Fire 30 and it is 2 times a week for the whole month. Ugh!!! Oh well, I guess I will be conditioned to like it by the time week 8 rolls around. So I tried the weighted gloves with Fire 30. I don't know if it was the gloves or the temperature today (it was only 72 so I imagine it's the gloves) but the sweat was literally water falling off of me, it was great. Has anybody else been using weighted gloves?????

    hey everyone!

    late night workout too because my lazy butt couldn't get up in time this morning. i am so not a morning person and i realized that i will never be one so i should just stop trying to get up extra early.

    hi new people!!!! i love that you are joining our little turbo fire community! welcome welcome!!

    so today i knocked off Sculpt 30/HIIT 15. killer workout,--- yeesh. i'm glad i got through them but maaaan, i'm such a weakling. my arms are killing me. By the 3rd fire drill in HIIT 15, i felt like i was going to topple over. Next came sculpt 30 where I realized that i don't like the resistance bands....so next time i do sculpt, i'm using free weights. does anyone use free weights instead of the resistance bands? do you think i should give the resistance bands another shot?

    also thanks for posting the HRM recommendations...i currently have a lifespan ring HRM that I bought from a fitness outlet store for $30. To be honest, i'm not sure how accurate it is and i want to buy the chest HRMs but wasn't sure what some of the good brands are. Are the chest bands uncomfortable?

    i can't wait for 55EZ tomorrow.

    goodnight everyone. keep pressing play!

    I had to HIIT 15/Tone 30 yesterday and it was tough. I always struggle with the Sculpt/Tone classes but I love what it's doing for my arms. Today I have Fire 55 EZ and good luck to everyone today!

    Hey all, forgot to check in yesterday (had a really long day). I did fire 55 for 525 calories.
    Wasn't feeling well this morning, so didn't do my turbofire. Might be up for it later this evening, if not I will do fire 60, push 2 and core 20 if I can tomorrow.
