The group is called Christmas TurboFire Challenge! Let's do this!
-
OK - I'm creating the group! Let's make this official! If you are trying to figure out TJ or TF, let me know and I can give you the low down on both programs. Either way, you can join the group - we'll make it a Turbo group. And if you don't have the programs yet, let me know, I can help you with that too. :smile:

I have done both programs - and agree with the advise given! I did TF first then Chalean Extreme - but while I was doing CHX, I did throw in some TF workouts to get more cardio - so a hybrid would be a great way to go. I was actually surprised at how much I enjoyed CHX - and how effective it was - man alive! My arms - lean…

Agree with all said! In addiition to your overall fat-burning, be sure to do lots of core work - you want to have a really strong core because when you do get rid of the belly fat, you want that strong definition. I like doing workout programs that give me core work all the way throughout - I recommend Insanity or…

Soreness does go away eventutally - in the meantime, you can try epsom salt baths, or consider an afterworkout recovery formula. I use the P90X Results and Recovery formula. I don't drink it all the time, but I'm on month 2 of Insanity, and the whole first week, I've been sore every day (which I actually don't mind because…

Core work! I do Insanity and 10 minute trainer, and I can tell you that even with not crunches or sit ups, my core, including side-obliques, are like steel! :-) A program like Rev-Abs, by Biggest Loser trainer Brett Hoebel, would be super ideal too.

Julie - I'm not sure what you mean my exercise step. Are you looking for an at-home workout program? I can recommend some great DVDs if that's what you are needing.

I agree that to get a really effective strength training workout, you need to know what you're doing. Afterall who wants to stand around lifing and sweating and not get results. I love the Chalean Extreme at-home workout program - yes, I used to be a gym rat, but I'm telling you, this program rocks! It's based on the…

The very best at-home strength training program (not including P90X) is Chalean Extreme. You can do this with resistance bands or hand weights. I used 5, 10 and 15 lbs weights - and they were just right (and I've done P90X so I'm not a light weight!). This program is based on the concept that muscle burns fat. I'm more…

If you've done Turbojam, you will love TurboFire - it's faster, but the core moves are the same ones from TJ. There are 10 DVDs so lots of variety - and there is a calendar to follow. So one day you do a Fire30 workout, the next day you do a HIIT 15 (yes a 15 min workout!!), another day you do Toning or stretch. It's so…

You might also try a BodyPump class - barbell weight lifting to music in a class environment. I think it's fun. I would suggest 2x/week for your strength training. It reallly is so important particularly as you get older. I also like some of the at-home workout programs - 10 minute trainer has some really fast and…

Raenne, first let me say, way to go! What an amazing fitness journey you have made! I would have first thought that you're weight gain was muscle and not inches - but since you said your clothes were tighter, it sounds like it was inches. So....I think now that you are back into more moderate exercise, your body shouldn't…

A good rule of thumb is to not drop below 1200 calories per day. When you are doing intense workouts, like P90X or Insanity or training for a marathon, your body does need more calories to fuel itself. However, when you are doing more moderate exercise like walking, jogging shorter distances, or even most gym workouts, you…

P90X is a great program - a body changer for sure! I'm doing Insanity right now - and month 2 is kicking my bootay! My abs are so rock hard from this, P90X and TurboFire, I had to go up to my husband last night and say, "feel this steel honey!" LOL! I can do that, right? I worked hard for them!

I love the Beachbody at-home workout programs - TurboFire is one of my favorites - if you've done Couch to 5K, you could to that one no problem - It is a grooving fun way to get your sweat on! I've also done Insanity and P90X - which are also hugely effective. Let me know if you need any tips or have questions about those…
