  • I love Fire 45 for the same reason!
  • Good for you for getting your Turbo workout in. I wish I could say the same for myself. I was supposed to do FIRE 45/Stretch 10 today then the hubster decided to take me out for a very last minute date night...so no Turbo workout today but I had great quality time with him along with a martini and an awesome steak dinner.…
  • Switching out my Rest day today. Not that I "rested" today either. It's snowing big time here in Chicago! I just shoveled heavy wet snow for over an hour and I have no energy for Fire 45 today. Be safe out there...wherever you all are!
  • Congrats to making it to month 2. My fave month (all cardio). I did miss the HIIT's. Month 2 was when I started seeing my scale move in the right direction. Have fun! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Week 11 starts for me today. HIIT 25 (my fave HIIT) and Sculpt 30 to be done later tonight since my 7 year old daughter loves doing the HIIT's…
  • Hey Vin! I'm a "hard stick too". I have very narrow veins and deep ones too. I have lots of different doctors for all my ailments and when it's blood work time, the techs see me and they run or they're making bets on who gets to stick me. Once, one of them had to take it in my hand. That's the worst and the most painful!…
  • @lacey....31, taken,marketing.
  • Yes, Janelle Summers is Chalene's little sister. It's in the Meet the Cast at the end of the workouts and on CLX's Burn Circuit 1.
  • Well, I finally did it. Instead of watching and listening to Burn Circuit 1...I actually did it today. After the 1st 10 minutes, I had to let my pride go and use 5lb weights. On the lower body ones, I was able to do 12lbs. I love that it was only 35 minutes. So, in addition to Turbo Fire, I'll add an elliptical workout,…
  • Butterfly~ Congrats on 100 days of TF! That is so great to have come this far! Woo hoo! Yesterday was Rest day but I jumped on the elliptical instead. Today is HIIT25/Sculpt 30. I'll do the HIIT 25 and skip out on Sculpt 30 and do CLX Burn Circuit 1 instead. This 10th week is my longest ever on a dvd workout program. I've…
  • Hello ladies. I'm still pressing "play". I restarted Week 10 on Monday so now I'm on the same schedule as the calander. Rest day yesterday but did not rest. I got on our elliptical and burned so many more calories than I do with TF and I barely broke out in a sweat. Go figure. Today is HIIT 25/Sculpt 30. I'm going to do…
  • I sweat buckets when I do Turbo Fire but when I am on the elliptical for an hour, I barely break out in a sweat. I have no clue what gives.
  • I'd go with Insanity. Shorter time, shorter workouts...no extra equipment needed. Good luck!
  • 42 and holding. Will be 43 next month! Age is just a number.
  • Good evening ladies! I had a really off week last week and I restarted Week 10 today. HIIT 20 and Tone 30 all done. My goal for this week is just to finish the week. Hope you all have a good week!
  • Vin...try calling your local forest preserve or local wildlife co which I believe is part of the forest preserve. They should be able to help you out. Good luck!
  • TF ~ Turbo Fire CLX ~ Chalean Extreme BB ~ Beachbody (company that puts out the above 2 programs and P90X and a bunch of others, as well).
  • I've been having a really off week this week. Eating crappy and no regular workouts. I will be restarting Week 10 on Monday. I hope everyone had a nice "single awareness" day today.
  • I did not press "play" today. All that shoveling I did yesterday and Tone 30 left me with a sore upper body and sore right side arms. I'm missing the Stretch 40 and saw in the schedule that I won't be doing Stretch 40 until Week 12! I also noticed on the schedule that these next few weeks have me doing Tone 30 & Sculpt 30…
  • Vini~ I am going to do the full 20 weeks and I still haven't decided what I'll do afterwards. Maybe another round of TF without modifications or a TF/P90X hybrid or Chalean Extreme. I haven't lost that much weight, although I have lost lots of inches. So, we'll see. I took your advice last time and I'm using weights for…
  • CORRECTION: I am actually starting Week 10 today, not Week 9 as I previously stated. I was able to add shoveling snow today as part of my calories burned. How cool is that. Now, I'm going to have a choco coco banana protein shake. Good night everyone!
  • Hello everyone! Sorry, I haven't been checking in. Very hectic here at home. My husband injured his Left achilles tendon on a business trip in Phoenix and had an Achilles Tendon Repar last Thursday. He's got a boot on and using a knee walker. He needs to recuperate for 6 weeks and we have another week until he can see the…
  • Hello ladies! I did 55EZ, one of my faves along with Fire 45. I'm in Week 9 and it's been 2 weeks since I did 55EZ and I really missed it. My rest day is on Saturdays and that works better for me. Hope you're all pressing "play"!
  • I usually stretch right afterwards...but sometimes, if I can't put the time in, I'll save the stretch for later in the evening right before I go to bed. Do what you can. There's no right or wrong way.
  • I am in Week 8 and I grew to love Stretch 40. Yes, it's really Yoga but I feel so much better afterwards. I hated the beginning where it's up/down/up/down....now I see why my body needs it. The only reason I like Stretch 10 is for that Tae Kwon Do stretch. I could never do it in the beginning, I always stayed way high like…
  • Good morning ladies! Great to see you back, Connie! Jeni~ Praying for your IUI, hoping it takes this time around. Vin~ I'm still not used to your new profile pic. Everytime I see it, I initially think "who is this person?" I got so used to seeing the pic of your kids. but I like it...you're a fellow coffee drinker! I hope…
  • The scale started to move for me in the 2nd month when it's all cardio and no HIIT's. I lost 2 lbs and lots of inches in the 1st month and in the 2nd month, I have lost an additional 6 lbs and I have yet to measure for inches lost . I'll be doing that at the end of this week. I start Week 9 on Thursday. I have a lot of…
  • Hi, I'm Christel, or you can call me Stel for short. I am a 42 year old SAHM for my 7 year old boy/girl twins. I live in the far northern suburbs of Chicago. We are experiencing whacked out weather over here. It is wet, humid and 61! Go figure and the calendar still says January! Anyway, I'm just about to finish Week 8 of…
  • You look great! Well done! Your hard efforts really paid off! I'm a shortie too. 5'1" with a much higher SW than yours and your pictures/story were so inspiring. Thanks for sharing!
