For those of you that have tried Turbo Fire already...would you say the Fire workouts are like Turbo Kick/Turbo Jam and the Hiit more like something out of Insanity (but with the kickin music?!?). I'm trying to determine how much like Turbo Jam/Kick and Insanity these workouts are like...the moves more so than the…

I do a lot of Plyometrics and side to side jumping, when I do workout DVD's, but also run, walk and do the elliptical, step, etc. I had a lady at a shoe store tell me that you can get a running shoe, as long as that shoe has lateral support as well. Many of the Asics Gel shoes do. I find them extremely comfortable, and…

I have both. If you really like dancing, go for Rockin Body (the red one). If you like kicking/punching and a "little" dance added to the moves, go with Turbo Jam. In all honesty, I got about equal calorie burn from both.

Mornin' Ladies! It's Friday...yeah!!! :bigsmile: At least this week has been better than last, so I can say I'm ready for the weekend for sure, but will be able to actually make it through the workday and still be sane at the end! :blushing: This morning was STS Legs #9...OMG...I'm not sure how much more my legs can take!…

Good Morning Ladies!!! This morning I had a little setback...I had no power in my basement and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't work. I checked the fuse box and that was fine. So, I had to move my workout upstairs and change the workout a bit. I was going to do KCM Plyo Step but had to just do Plyo instead. I'll…

I'm finally ahead of the game today (in logging into MFP anyway)!:huh: This morning was STS Disc 8--Back and Triceps. I absolutely hate chinups/pullups, so this ones a tough one for me. I do them assisted, but still can feel them working, so I'll stick with that! Went out for a b-day dinner last night to Red Robin (my boys…

Good Afternoon Ladies! Just a quick note, as it's getting busy again at work...but, I'm leaving early cuz it's my birthday today! I have to visit the dentist (just getting the teeth all polished up!) and then off to dinner with my boys! I decided to sleep in this morning (it was storming out, so it was so nice to just be…

I used to not eat before working out, but found I would run out of energy about 1/2 way through. Now, I will grab a banana, raisins or yogurt before I workout (I read in my Oxygen magazine that yogurt is a good pre workout snack as it's easy to digest). I always do a protein shake after my workouts (within about 15…

Good Morning Ladies...it's a new week...and hopefully a quieter one!!! I did some of Cathe's Punch Kick and Crunch as well as no equipment abs (ouch!) on Saturday, after attemping to run on the treadmill, but my legs were just not having it. The STS Legs on Friday killed my legs!! Sunday was a rest day, although I was…

Good Morning Ladies! Wow, am I glad it's Friday! :bigsmile: I'm hoping next week slows down and is more enjoyable! This morning was STS Disc 6--Legs. My gosh were my legs shaking. I'm following the weights based on my 1RM, and can do them and fatigue at the end, but really wondering what I'm going to be doing in the other…

Hi Ladies- I only have a quick minute to pop in and say hi, but I'm here... Work is crazy still, can't wait for the weekend!!! This morning was STS Disc 5--loved it as usual! I need to start working the abs in to the mix..maybe at night or something as I use up every minute I have in the mornings. You girls continue to…

My last pair were Brooks, and I LOVED them, but that style is no longer being sold. So, I tried on a bunch and have fallen in love with Saucony's! I also have a pair of Ryka's that I love too!!

Hey Ladies- Well, this week is really testing me on how well I handle stress, that's for sure. I normally have a very laid back and low stress job, but for some reason, this week has been horrible! I am still hitting the morning workouts hard, but was hoping to get in some evening workouts too to work off the stress, but…

Good Morning Ladies! I hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend! We had a blast, but man am I tired this morning! :grumble: Yesterday I got in a 3.2 mile run on the treadmill with my new running shoes...ahhhhh...they felt so good. I didn't realize how bad my last pair was! :blushing: Must be from all the running I did…

Hey Ladies...sorry I've been MIA for a couple days! We actually hired a good friend of mine at my job this week, so I've been training her in. Kinda fun as we originally met at a past job, so nice to have somone to chat with during the day! Yesterday was a rest day for me...I had a meeting in southern MN all day, so knew I…

Good Morning Ladies!!! This morning was STS Week 1 Meso 1 Disc 2....I LOVE STS!!!!! :love: Thanks again to all you ladies for highly recommending it! I think my favorite thing is the way she hits the muscles in so many different ways. I never feel like I didn't fully work the muscles. I gotta say...I very rarely get sore…

Good Morning Ladies!! I hope you are all having a fabulous morning so far! :smile: I was really tired this morning (my 8lb dog has a horrible cold and was up all night sneezing and congested :frown: But, I made myself get out of bed and did a TurboKick DVD. I had a good calorie burn from it, but I just wasn't "feeling…

Happy Monday Ladies!! I'm feeling a little overwhelmed at work today (LOTS of work to come back to), but started off the morning with my first STS Disc, and LOVED it, of couse! :bigsmile: My arms were shaking so badly by the last set of pushups that I couldn't even do them!!! :huh: But, I did what I could. Also had to do…

Good Morning Ladies!!! I hope you are enjoying your Friday..I'm a bit off on my days this week, so it's felt like Friday all week (plus I took Thursday and Friday off of work to re-group!). I FINALLY had enough strength and energy to do Tonique2 Workout #1 this morning...wow!!! I think it's all the squats and lunges with…

Hey Girls! Just a quick note to say hi! Vacation was wonderful and I even managed to get in some running on the beach a couple of mornings! I am fully rested, and ready to get back to my workout schedule! I took yesterday and today off to get some much needed rest from the jet lag, and I had something that didn't agree…

Hi Ladies! I'm hangin in there, but I tend to get really stressed right before leaving for vacation, so that's where I'm at today! Trying to arrange to get the dog to the boarding kennel, the kids to grandma and grandpa's and get myself organized to fly out tomorrow morning! I didn't get a workout in this morning...I've…

No workout for me this morning either...I'm still REALLY sore. But, it's a good thing, as it's in places I didn't know I could get sore! This morning, it's the muscles you use when you walk...so, walking is a little tough, but hopefully by tonight I'll be better! I'll check back later! Keep up the great work ladies!

No cardio for me tonight :sad: I'm too sore to really move right now. My butt and legs are really starting to feel the pain of back to back lower body workouts! I just hope I can get out of bed tomorrow! :ohwell: Michelle-Yes, it was the one with the voiceover. Honestly, when I pre-viewed the DVD, I thought it looked nice…

The soreness is really starting to set in...mainly from Tonique I think, as it's my butt! I'm trying to sit on my chair to work on the computer and it is not fun! :grumble: I guess after 45+ minutes of squats and lunges my butt should hurt. So far, legs feel fine, although my knees are a tad sore, but that happens when I…

Happy St Patty's Day!!! I was feeling a little daring this morning :ohwell: , and the soreness from Tonique hasn't fully set in, so I did Gym Style Legs this AM. I have a feeling, I'll be regretting back to back leg/glute workouts tomorrow when I can't stand up, but for now I"ll enjoy the burn! Hope you all had a great…

Ok ladies, I just had to check in quick tonight. Just got done with my Tonique DVD (not the mat one or Tonique 2, but just Tonique) and OMG I have NEVER sweated so much in my life. I actually had my HR higher (and calorie burn--730 whoa!) than even Insanity. I am positive I'm going to have trouble walking tomorrow!…

Good Morning Ladies!!! No workout for me this morning, maybe tonight. I was soooo tired today, and figured I need my sleep to make sure I don't get sick again! I'm thinking a Cathe Hiit workout tonight..we'll see! Tami-I got my STS set yesterday! I don't think I can wait until May like I thought I would. I'm planning to…

Good Morning!!! I managed to get out for a 2.5 mile run yesterday as we hit 64 here in MN!!! It felt good to run, but I can tell my lungs aren't quite back at 100%, as my HR was up in the upper 160's the whole time. But, I'm on the mend! This morning was Gym Style Back, Shoulders and Biceps. I liked it, but way different…

Hey Ladies! Just a quick check in! Did some Turbo Jam this morning...first cardio in awhile and I was huffin and puffin. I can tell I"m getting better, but still struggling a bit with the lungs. But, had my biggest calorie burn to date on that workout, so I'll take it! I'm really sore today from the 1RM's. I'm a crazy…

Happy Friday Everyone!!! This morning I decided to start tackling the 1RM's. They actually went pretty fast! I got through DVD's 1-4 and will do another 4-5 tonight. It's nice that some of the 1RM's carry into other DVD's so I don't have have to full go through 40+ DVD's! I can tell I'm gonna love this program! :bigsmile:…
