Hey gang, Misty here!
Well I have had turbo fire for about three months and have done a couple of the workouts but have not commited to doing the whole program as written in the book. Well today I did the thirty min. class and I LOVED it!! I have officially caught fire and was hoping to get to know some fellow fire fanatics buddies on here. Obviously I mean the "fanatic" in the best possible way! Seriously I am freaking out about this program! I have done turbojam for years but this goes far beyond what I expected. I was DRENCHED in sweat! I am hoping to get a thread going where we can check in out eachother and just plain commiserate over the soreness (cause right now all I can think is OUCH) but also share the sucess beacuse I KNOW this program WILL bring sucess IF we stick with it and I believe staying in contact with others going through the same thing will be the key. I am starting the program for real on 6/20, So my question is this....anybody else ready to catch fire with me?!
Hope to hear from ya soon!!

    I loooooooooove Turbo Fire but due to my running schedule and focus on strength training, I'm not able to do it as often anymore. Here's a thread with a LOT of TF fanatics just like us!

    I have had it for 6 months now and I can not get into it. I cant learn the moves. I only like the short short one. I feel like I need to sell it and try something else like Turbo Jam first.

    I loved Chalean Extreme though.

    I know what you mean!!! Even doing the new to class feature I am finding it challenging but knowing the moves from turbojam is a plus because she does draw on those moves for fire but mixes them up! I agree whole heartedly Chalean Extreme is like my soul mate program lol. Well which ever you decide I wish you the best and if you want a turbo whatever buddie I am your girl!!! Here is wishing you blessings!!!

    Angela- thank you so much for leaving the link I will go check it out ASAP! =)

    Me to I love TF but I have some shoulder pain cause of the punching and I have to pick up my running again so I have to leave TF on the shelf for a while! But it is a great workout!!

    I will join you, starting on June 20?! Yay!

    I have had the same experience as you, I only pick and choose videos to do based on how much energy I have. I wonder if following the program properly will help me get off these last 10 pounds?

    Feel free to friend me if you want :)

    Good luck!!

    SWEET! So glad to hear from ya'll. And I am glad to hear that a few of you are just like me lol. There have been times that I am just thinking forty five minuets oh no not today , but I have about thirty in me so I will do that class!!!! I have been picking and choosing for a while now but its time to get real! I lost eight inches the week I did only some of the fire workouts I can't imagine what it will be like if I actually do it as planned! I just did the 20 min abs with my hubbs because I was obviously feeling crazy....oh my word I have NEVER done a more effective ab routine than this one! Tomorrow is gonna be a challenge just to get out of bed lol. I can't wait to see how this programs works when you actually do it as planned and I am ubber excited that so many will be starting around the same time that is so awesome!! Fire Fanatics are gonna rock this out!!! Till then be blessed guys!!!

    Psycho-obsessed-Turbo-fanatic reporting for duty!

    I'm on week 10 and am loving every minute of it. In fact, I just ordered the advanced dvds and cant wait to learn some new routines! So far I've lost over 25lbs and am definitely in the best shape of my life. I really like having the schedule to follow, and I think that's been the clincher for me. I know exactly what workout I'm doing every day and there's no guesswork that could lead to "oh I don't know what to do so maybe I'll just sit on the couch" logic!

    Good luck to everyone! I'll definitely check back to see how everyone is doing!

    I started mine on Monday, I found a CHX/TF hybrid schedule edited for M-F which is perfect for me and my home. DH and I also started C25K on Monday. We really want to lose a lot of weight because we are in a Biggest Loser competition with my family and we want to win.

    Feel free to friend me too for more support!

    Today was HIIT 15 and Sculpt 30. This was my first time attempting Sculpt 30. I would just like to say OUCH and no one should question whether or not they get a good enough workout with the bands!

    I hope those of you that planned to start today are hitting it hard!

    I have now decided to just focus on TF to lose the BF then go back and do the CHX hybrid. I'm starting today with the prep schedule because I wasn't able to really keep up with HIIT 15 last week and I can't do the jumps yet. Otherwise I really like the program!

    Good afternoon all!!!!
    Man! What a day I am having!!! Woke up to find my five year old son broke out head to foot in poison ivy, AND I gained three-four pounds (scale won't make up it's mind) Not gonna lie...for about an hour I seriously contemplated just saying forget all this mess but thanks to my invaluable buddies on here I decieded to flip that pitty party into a source of inspiration! I worked hard last week stayed under my calories, drank all my water and hit all six workouts planned for the week so a gain really made no sense....then I realized so what!!!! So what if that scale taunts me...I know how I feel, I know how I worked,I KNOW that scale can not tell me who I am! So I gave my little boy a nice warm oatmeal bath, some medicine, and got him all cozy and comfortable and then I took my measurements..had my oldest take my new before pic's (ICK) then I CRUSHED Fire 30 and stretch 10 (YAY)!!!!
    To everyone starting today...I hope ya'll are excited as I am...ok so I am sore and pretty tired but I did it!! Looking at the entire program its easy to feel somewhat intimidated by the length and intensity but I decide to just take this one day at a time...today I accomplished what I set out too and tomorrow I will look to do the same!!!

    @kel_bel- sounds like you have a really great plan, stick to it girl..your gonna kill it! =)
    @Klf- good to have you with us girl!!!
    @ Shakemybooty- Man, I saw your posts before I decided to quit pouting and was totally inspiried by you!! Keep up the excellent work!!!

    To anyone else doing this program no matter if you started weeks ago or havent even gotten your order yet we would love to hear from you!
    I hope ya'll have a completly blessed Monday and look forward to hearing from you!!

    Be blessed,
    Misty

    I'm doing the hybrid right now. I finished Insanity before this with another girl and her BB coach told her we could skip the first 4 weeks of they hybrid and jump right in. I think I'm on week 9 right now. It goes so fast. I was totally intimidated by the 20 week schedule because the 2 month schedule for Insanity felt like forever but this is a piece of cake because Chalean is a party girl. I like the music!

    I hope your little guy feels better. Poison ivy is horrible!

    My scale hates me and I hate it back. I will feel all thin and muscular and then that brat will tell me that my weight is up and I'll feel like crap. We've resorted to just giving each other dirty looks now. It's not about a number for me. I just want to feel good.

    Good for you for cranking out those workouts!

    Completed Day 1 of our Turbo Fire workout... Fire 30 and Stretch...

    Today was 45EZ. The entire right side of my body is sore from yesterday so it was brutal! It actually made me appreciate Stretch 10 (which after the zillionth time of that, I hate because it bores me).

    481 calories scorched up.

    Keep at it girls!

    The hybrid is turbo fire combined with Chalean Extreme. The schedule for it is in the back of the turbo fire book.

    Completed: HIIT 15 - burned 169 calories (I think this is WRONG, but whatever... I'll take it).

    Do you think it's too low or too high? That workout scorches calories.

    Today was my first core 20---which I really liked and Stretch 40 which I kind of liked. I prefer to jump around and wound myself to good music, not stretch my wounded muscles to elevator music. It did feel good, it just felt like it took a lot longer than 40 minutes.
