You didn't miss anything; Get Fired Up is just Chalene talking about the program. I did Stretch 40 today because I'm doing the hybrid. It was nice, especially since I had no energy today.
Oh, ok good. I thought someone told me that it was her going over all of the different moves? Hmmm...oh well, glad I didn't miss out on anything. Thanks!0 -
Welcome to all the newbies that have joined us!!! The more the merrier!!!
I did my first day today. I really wanted to do the first DVD (Get Fired Up or something like that?) but for some reason it wouldn't play in my DVD player?? So, I just jumped right into Fire 30 Class. It was fun - but I was SO lost! I didn't do the Stretch 10 Class because I knew my son was getting up from his nap soon and I needed to get a shower before he did. I plan on doing Fire 30 again tomorrow with the Stretch 10.
ya, my first class i was all over the place. i actually tried again that afternoon and it was much easier. you will start to get it, everything gets repeated so much you just learn it without trying too hard!0 -
I ordered Turbo Fire today from Ebay. I hope it comes in soon because I am very excited about this!!! I've tried insanity but it was to advanced for me, I'm hoping Turbofire will be better for me.
It's great how eveyone here is so encouraging! Pls add me as a friend, I would like to stay informed on everyone's reviews and progress. It gives me hope!0 -
There's some called New to Class or Breakdown (maybe both..I can't remember right now) that show you the moves for different workouts.You didn't miss anything; Get Fired Up is just Chalene talking about the program.

The first time I do a class I'm pretty lost bit even mistakes burn calories! I'm pretty solid with both fire45s and HIIT15,20 now thankfully.
I'm in week four and currently having a bummer down day but it should pass I'm hoping.
A little about me. I'm 27 I have two toddlers back to back...like just 15months apart. I blame them mostly, well I like to anyway. Before kids I was a skinny mini and never worried about weight. I was 130 when I got pregnant the first time (lost that one though and got pregnant again like asap). When I joined mfp I was 218 which wasn't my brightest weight, I dont know what was. I'm currently 195ish depending on the time of month...stupid mother nature.
I live TF its so much fun and even today when I seriously could cry and give up I did it and was happier for that.0 -
Hey everyone! I'm Lori, 32 from Ontario Canada I did the 9 week prep schedule of Turbo Fire and am in week 2 of the normal schedule. So far I have lost almost 25 lbs! I love doing these work outs. I'd love to have others to talk to about TF! 0

Wow this thread moved fast today!! I'm about to do Fire 55 EZ! The 45's are my favorite though!
For the newbies that just started, you will get the hang of everything! I did the new to class for maybe 4 classes or so and then just started doing the regular paced and caught on quick! Sometimes I get a little lost cause it's hard to hear her with the music but once it starts up I'm good!0 -

Ah, ok. I saw that when I put the DVD in, but just ignored it :laugh:. Thanks for the heads up - I'll definitely use that tomorrow when I do Fire 30 again. I thought I would just be able to listen to her and follow along that way, but like Kayli said, it's so hard to hear her over the music. But I love the music!0 -
A little about me......
I never struggled too much with my weight until after college. I gained 25 my first year of teaching and used SlimFast to take it off....no exercise, just the shakes. I lost 30 lbs and looked good but because I wasn't exercising and I went back to regular food, I slowly started gaining again. After I was married, I was 15 lbs overweight and after each baby (I have 3 kiddos now), I got bigger and bigger. I was 198 when I began MFP in April 2011. I've done the Ripped in 30 and the 30DS and now I'm excited to try TurboFire and TurboJam! I'm down to 171 now and getting SO much closer to my goal of 150. When I get there, I figure I'll reevaluate and probably just work on toning....any extra weight loss will be a bonus!
Welcome everyone! I LOVE having accountability!0 -
Sara- after a few sessions doing the "new to class" my friend (who is doing it with me) and I got over it and said we'd just try to go for it and it was pretty easy! I think sometimes when she would break it down I would think too much during the routines but now it's pretty good!
I like Turbo Fire so much more than Insanity...not really sure why, maybe it's the music and Chalene? Or maybe it's that I'm not jumping and killing my knees every 2 seconds.
Next week I plan to add in some C25K into my routine. Lately I have been lifting and on heavy cardio days (Fire 55 EZ or Fire 45) I don't do any cardio and on light days I walk at an incline. As much as I do with TF, I am out of shape with running...big time! I plan on running a 5k at the end of October so I want to get my butt in gear!! Oh, and how do I have all this time to workout?? I am unemployed at the moment, I have nothing better to do!0 -

I'll probably do the same thing - think about it too much! I have Zumba for the Wii and I picked up on that pretty quick....but this is much faster paced than that. I'm also doing C25k......well, I've been kind of doing my own version, but going to do the actual schedule starting tomorrow. I'm doing a 5k with my sister and some of her friends (Including Kellybstampin!) on Thanksgiving. I did it in 2009 and had to walk most of the way. I'd love to be able to jog the whole thing this time!
It's going to be like a bazillion degrees here today and, since my husband is cheap, I'm like the only person in the US that doesn't have central air. Waiting for Redmond to go down for his nap so I can get this workout in, then take a nice, cold shower!0 -
Oh, and I wanted to ask - are there different moves for each of the classes, or does she incorporate the same moves throughout?0

she uses a lot of the same but in different combinations. i think every workout has something new with old incorporated.0 -
For those of you that are saying it's hard to hear her over the music, are you choosing the pummped up(or whatever its called) music version? I have only done HIIT 15 and Fire 30 and did not choose that and had no trouble hearing Chalene.0

Hi all! I have had turbo fire since May. I did about 5 weeks, then a few parts of the next two weeks then fell off. I've started over and am on week 3, but not as the schedule says. I would love to, but its just not working out that way. So, I'm going to do what I can and aim for 4 days of workouts, more if I can get it but at least 4.
I will read through all the threads. I did read the one about doing the two workouts back to back or not. It is really up to you. I do them together usually. I think the increase in cals burned is realized because you did them together. I think that if you don't do them together you are still burning more cals, but it's at rest and not through the workout so you don't see them on your HRM. I like to see them so I'd probably do them together to see it.0 -
Today I did ab burner and recharge. It was perfect because my back was sore and it's feeling good now. I'll finish it up with some yard work since it was a lite workout.0

Hey fellow turboites!
I'm bummed because the Fed Ex tracker says I won't get my shipment until next Wednesday....I really wanted to start this weekend. In the mean time, I'm trying to get an idea of the actual plan....if anyone has the time to respond that would be great. How many days /week do you do a DVD? It sounds like there is a calendar that you are supposed to follow? OK and for the silly question of the day....do the numbers after the title indicate how long the workout is?
Thanks, and feel free to friend me....I'd love some motivation/company through this!0 -

Yes, the number is how long the workout is. If you do the "new to class" version it adds a little more time - I think. I think the clock stops during that. But, yes, the number is the minutes roughly.
There is a 12 week schedule (that has some advanced weeks also if you bought the advanced dvds). 6 workouts a week with 1 rest day. The first section of 4 weeks is HIIT, the workouts are more focused on the HIIT workouts. The second 4 weeks are cardio - which are more of the Fire45, 45EZ, Fire30 and Fire55. The last 4 I believe are HIIT again, but more intense than the first 4...I haven't quite made it to that section yet.0 -

Shamrock pretty much answered everything there for you! The rest day on the calendar is Wednesdays. I personally would rather work out so I have my rest days on Sundays.0 -
I did Fire 30 & Stretch 10 today - what a great workout! I did the 'New to Class' for Fire 30 and it helped a little bit. I'm pretty good with the second set, almost have the first set down, but the third set, with all those different punches and turns and whatnot - I'm SO lost! So, I just bounce around and punch, trying to do what they're doing, but I know I look like a fool!
My arms and shoulders are killing me! They hurt so good!0 -

You will have to tell me what you think when you do Fire 45...it's my favorite!! I think I have that one tomorrow too!!
I lifted chest & triceps today and then did Core 20. Yes, I skipped Stretch 40...it drives me nuts...I may have to force myself to try to like it.0 -
Hi! I found this post when I did a search about Turbo Fire. I'm a Turbo Fire junkie! It's truly my soulmate workout! I've been doing it since February! I've completed the 20 wks and now I'm on Round 2 of Turbo Fire b/c I just can't get enough. After this 2nd round of TF, I'll probably try Insanity. I'm definitely stronger than when I was in Feb and I'm so ready for more fitness challenges.
I've lost 70.5 lbs since Feb (just join MFP on August 9 to help me with the last lbs)... my main workout for all those 70 lbs has been TF! And of course, I've changed my eating habits big time!
TF is the one and only workout that has held my attention this long and I'm still excited to do it every day. I love that there are so many different workouts. And I love that I can still smile throughout all of them even tho I'm sweating buckets. Oh and even now, 6 months later, I'm still challenging and pushing myself to do more, give more as Chalene keeps prompting us to do. Even today, I did Fire 45 and I got my heart rate up to 181 after a fire drill!! LOVE it!
On HIIT workout days, I try to do a strength workout too - either Core or Sculpt or one from the advanced DVD set.
Glad to find others out here in MFP land that love TF too!0 -
I'm all for TurboFire!!! I'm in the middle of a TurboFire/P90X hybrid! LOVE it!!!
I'm also taking Shakeology and having a great experience with it. I just became a coach so that I can save a little $$ on the shakes, lol. So glad to have come across this thread with so many people following Chalean's workouts!!
You're NOT tired!!!0 -

70.5 lbs, that is AWESOME!! When did you start seeing results with TF? I am ending week 4 and I will start Week 5 on Monday. Like you, I love, love, LOVE it! I fully intend on doing the whole 20 week program!0 -

I starting losing weight immediately, but I was 227.5 back then when I started. I think in my first week, I pulled a big # like 7 lbs loss. And had not been exercising at all. Plus, I'm not eating as many carbs as I used to (including brown rice or wheat pasta) -- No rice, pasta or potatoes. I do eat SOME light 40 calorie per slice bread or 50 calorie tortilla. I eat some cereals, but they have to have some protein in them. So the weight loss happened immediately. Although I couldn't do all the moves back in Feb., I just kept moving - didn't stop. Made little goals along the way. Like next time, I'm going to do ALL the jumping jacks she asks for - and not just the modified ones. etc...
Now I try to do all the plyometric jumps that Chalene does and I try to do them as high as Monica or Jenelle does! I'm sure I don't come close, but in my mind I feel like I'm getting higher on my jumps each time.0 -
meant -- I had not been exercising before I started Turbo Fire. Had gone from complete couch potato -- had pneumonia just 2 wks before -- to starting TF. I think my body was in complete shock that first week. LOL! I've come a long way since then!0
