Join me on this TurboFire Journey

I just started the classic turbo jam today. I liked it, but I felt clumsy. I'm planning on sticking with the 15-minute beginner routine until I'm comfortable with the moves. I thought I would do a sculpting routine in the a.m. before I get ready for work & then to the cardio in the evening. How many days per week are you doing the Turbo Fire routines?

How is TurboJam different from TurboFire?

The difference is like comparing a jalapeno pepper to a habanero pepper. :laugh:

Love all the TURBO programs! I did Fire 55EZ this morning

Hey my Turbofire people! I love working out with Chalene. She is very motivating even though when she says "Your not tireddd!" ..but I really am tired. haha This is this the Dvd program have ever tryed at home and I love it, and it has already changed my body. In 5 weeks Ive lost 10 pounds and counting more every week. I really feell like this is the program and type of excersize that my body needs to reach of ultimate goal. Seriously though. Anywhooooo. Thats my 2 cents for now. I am off for some Fire 55. p.s. I love the Core 20 class!

Hey Kania-- I think that you are over thinking it!! ha. To be successful you have to always think that your a winner, I like that you know what works for you. Stick to that. I am on week 6 of TF and I dont follow the sugestted eating plan--because I know what works for me! They want you to buy all different kinds of food. Well, that is too expensive and I am not going to cook all that stuff all the time, and Im a chef so I certainly love cooking. Anyways, I have lost a lot of weight over ther years so I know that tons of grilled chicken, frozen veggies, salad, egg whites, heartland whole grain angel hair, and skim millk is what works for me to lose weight. ha, and no bread, thats alwasysssssmy weakness. Ha! But if you know what works out for you, then DO it. BUT, only the nutritional aspect. I see that you mention you might just "go for a walk" or a quick 20-30 mins on elliptical. That is exactly what has been keeping you from really excelling and pushing YOURSELF. You body may not 'plateau' from eating the same things over and over, but it will plateau and dramatically halt weight loss. Changing the way you work out and the amount will change your body [for the better]! For real, I have hit several plateaus over the years. First is was the under 185 pound mark....it took foreverrr to get under 180. Then again when trying to get into the 160's. I hit a plateau the past year going up and down in the 155-165 mark. Before Turbofire, I was going to the gym 6 days a week. Hour long spin classes 4 times a week. Sitting in the sauna sweating off the weight for 20 mins. Running probably 8-10 miles a week. I did that for months but couldnt stay under 155 on my 'fat days' or 'skinny days'. When I starting Turbo I was like "uh yea right, they are moving waayyy too fast for me..i will never want to watch the same dvd's over and over..blah blah blah.' Well, I stopped making excuses and decided to really committ. That wasnt hard because Chalene is so freakin motivating. Shes better than this awesome personal trainer I had at my gym for one summer. Anyways, it gave me results fast and I loveeee how I can do 15-20 mins of huffing and puffing and it freakin works!!! I never thought that doing such short workouts could shock and change my body. I was used to going ot the gym for 2-2 1/2 hours a day! I cant begin to explain how much I like this program. You know, we are not all perfect either. I slipped up ate like **** for probably a total of 7 days since I started. And I have missed like 7 workouts. I have school, work, a life!! I thought that I wouldnt succeed since I kept slipping up, but I still did!! Thats why I love Turbofire. If I were doing reguular workouts at my gym and missed 2 days a week, I would probably gain weight. lol. Even when I have a bad day I am excited to pop in the dvd and watch Chalene and start burning calories! Anyways, enough with my long *kitten* story. What I am trying to say is that always keep pushing play! Your body will change quick. Take pics!!!!! Before and every 4 weeks. I never thought I had lost so much till I checked out my day 1 and day 30 pics. No doubt you will be getting some double takes if you stick with this program. That was a long 2 cents. lol
