When I took Jazzercise I use to burn 500-600 a class.

Just got mine yesterday! I thought I had pretty small wrist so I ordered the small. I should have gone with the Large, it does fit, but I am on the last 2 holes. I would definitely recommend the Large if you're on the fence about size.

I use my heart rate monitor and created my own activity.

I take classes, so I usually burn anywhere from 450-650 in 1 hr depending on the class and how much effort I put in that day. I take Jazzercise, Zumba, Spinning, HIIT classes. It all depends on your weight and intensity.

I have both. I haven't completed either program, because I use them when I can't make it to the gym. I will say T25 goes by fast and is a great work out for such a short time. Insanity was Insane!! It was to much for me! Maybe someday I will fit enough to do the program :smiley: Good luck deciding. I know you didn't ask…

I have had a FT7 for years and LOVE it! I was never interested in the fitbit until they came out with the Charge HR (with heart rate monitor). I should receive it tomorrow. I'm not sure how accurate it will be while working out since there is no chest strap, but I am excited to try it and will wear my ft7 to see how it…

I have had a polar ft7 for years now and love it. If you are just looking for a heart rate monitor and calorie burn polar ft4 is a little cheaper and will do that. I just ordered the Fit bit charge hr, so I'm eager to see how the calorie burn during my work outs compare to my ft7. Good Luck deciding!

I just was just on their website placing an order when the site went down for about 10 minutes. Not sure if that would be the reason.

Got through and order in!!

I was so excited when I saw your post about it being available, I went to the website to order and before I could finish the shipping the site went down :( I wonder if anyone else is having this problem.

My Dr prescribed it to me last year. I tried it for a week, and decided the side effects were not worth it. I felt like my head was going to pop off, I felt so horrible that I couldn't do my workouts, which I felt was more important. A year later I am still over weight, but It took me more than a few months to gain all…

Thanks everyone!!

Thanks for your replys. I kind of felt that way, but I guess I just needed to hear it from someone else. Now if the new fitbit could hurry up and come out :)

I agree with everything middlehaitch said!

I'm waiting for my piyo to arrive. I have had Turbo Fire for a little over a yr now. I started it at the my Gym (Turbo Kick). I love it, it's a great, fun workout. The Dvds can range from 30 min to 60 Min (60 min is in advanced Dvds. There are also a couple HIIT class dvds ranging from 15 min to 30 min. The 45 Class in my…

I have a few beach body programs, but it all started with turbo kick at my gym. Like another poster said, it made me love working out!! It is so much fun and a great workout! Once it was canceled I ordered the DVDs for home. Now I bounce between spinning and my videos. I don't actually stick to one program, but I really…

I always hated working out. I started with Zumba and loved it, then moved onto Turbo kick (at my gym) and loved it even more. It made me realize that Cardio Kickboxing is my Favorite. I just started Les Mills Combat at home. If you're looking for at home videos, Turbo fire and Combat are fun. But if you go to a gym I would…

When I got pregnant, My Dr. said what ever workout I had been previously doing I could continue. However she did no want me starting new programs. I think you will fine, of course once you pregnant you should always check with your Dr.

I am 5'2. I felt good at 135, but would love to be at 125. The smallest as an adult I've been was 115, but looking back I looked to thin. I have 40-50 lbs to lose, so just 10 lbs sounds good now, lol.

I was surprised the first time I did Insanity as well. I didn't burn nearly as much as I had hoped for.

You may like Turbo Fire (or Turbo Jam. I have only done turbo fire). It's a mix of kickboxing and kind of dancey. It's fun with good music. I started it at my gym, then bought the dvds for my house. I also just started t25 today and really like it. If your not wanting to go the beach body route and spend to much money, I…

I take A class called Tabata 1-2 x's a week. I usually burn 500-540 (according to my HRM) in 45 min. I am 5'2 175, so I am on the heavier side.

As others have said, consult a Dr. When I first started Zumba my knees hurt. I got a new pair of gym shoes and had no problems. I don't know a ton about gym shoes, but with all the moving side to side, I steered away from shoes with lots of traction. It made my movements glide better with out sticking and hurting my knees.…

I take spinning once a week. I was so afraid of going! The nice thing is no one knows what your resistance is set on, and it is dark, so no one can really judge you (everyone is usually so focused on their work out anyway) and you can go at your own pace. I have noticed the more resistance keeps me from bouncing in my…

Since you mentioned Turbo fire.I have Insanity (never finished) and Turbo fire. I did Turbo Kick at my gym and bought the DVD's for home. Insanity was a little to much for me, but I LOVE Turbo fire!!! I only use it to fill in when I don't go to the gym. But when I was doing it 4 and 5 times a week my joints did hurt. They…

I love TurboFire. I started with Turbo kick at my gym, then bought DVDS for home. You can do modifications or as some have said start with Turbo jam. I have Insanity (never finished it) and hoping Santa will bring me T25 :) I love the music with Turbo fire and it made me feel less like I was working out vs Insanity. Good…

I have a Polar FT7 and love it!!! It comes with a chest trap and I barely notice it.

I LOVE Turbo fire. I started at my Gym, then bought the dvds for my house. I have the whole set. It's nice because they have a 30 min, 2-45 min and some 15, 20, 25 (HIIT) dvds (in addition to the 55 ). There are also some shaping and stretching. If you know you already like it I would go for Turbo. You might as well enjoy…

I was really nervous about the 20 min run. I really surprised myself by jogging the whole thing, I went at a very slow pace but did it! Good luck, you will be amazed at what you can do. I was!

Thanks everyone! I'm already planning the next one!
