Try it. I doubled up weeks 2 and 3 because I wasn't finding it much of a challenge. I then had to take two weeks off because of holiday & illness and have been doing week 4 'by the book'. Am loving it though. Looking forward to Friday when once more I get to stride out into the dank november weather!

Great job! I'm proud to have you on my friends list, you've had so much to contend with, with your knee, yet you never fail to give others support, so thank you! X

There's an option on MFP to log turbo jam, and as turbo fire is apparently quite similar, that might be useful. Other friends I have on here who are doing it without a HRM log it as aerobics, high intensity. I'm not sure what they log the HIITs or the core/toning/sculpting workouts as. I know that I burn up to 450 kcals…

I just did that workout today and yep, my butt was kicked!! I felt last week I should repeat because I was feeling so lousy, but I've decided to push on through to week 8. Partly I did this because weeks 5-7 are identical and I was getting a little bored with it! Good news though- I got back onto my C25K routine, week 4…

Having a day off TF, still feeling really congested, so hopefully spending the morning doing a few household chores and then some gardening in the afternoon. Will try and get back on my schedule tomorrow, but if not, I plan to do fire 30 all week (as I seemed to be able to cope with that one!)

Ugh had a lame couple of days! I've been so congested for like 6-8 weeks I finally went to the doctors this morning, she couldn't see any inflammation, but gave me sudafed and told me to do regular steam inhalations. She said if that doesn't shift it, it's antibiotics on Sunday :grumble: This afternoon, I finally tried a…

It might be that after your first cold you didn't allow your immune system to properly recover, so you were naturally more susceptible to another bug that was going around.

It depends! I'm just getting over a cold and I think all the extra breathing through my mouth did my throat no favours. That was just breathing too- no exercise breathing, :frown: Even now I'm just getting back into my turbo fire routine, I really feel it on my throat through my mouth breathing, and for a while…

Hey and welcome!! Glad you're loving it- I'm on week 7 and it still totally rocks for me!! Did fire 30 & sculpt 30 today, felt pretty good but still no running- the cardio in the fire just whacks me, I'll go for a walk this afternoon and work on building my stamina back up I think. Have to go and buy flour as I'm half way…

Morning, happy November, hope we all survived Halloween! My challenge is to compete c25k and to be well on the way through B210K by the end of the year.... I'm trying to shift my focus away from weight loss numbers and onto fitness goals. Along with this, I will be continuing with Turbo Fire :smile: I :heart: Chalene!

Hey hey!! Back into week 7 after my time away / being ill! :smile: Have to say I struggled through fire 55 EZ, I'm still really blocked up...so gonna continue with turbo fire and get back into my c25k when I'm a bit better! Anyway, a new week, let's keep pushing pay!

I haven't quite finished week 6 yet- this cold has knocked me for 6! I'm away for the next few days, so will start back on wk7 when I return. I'm a bit gutted at not being able to exercise through illness tbh...really wanted to finish off week 6, get a couple more c25ks in before going away, I feel all fat and unhealthy…

Porridge- the make it up yourself type, with milk, golden syrup and cinnamon. Keeps me going til lunch time and then some!

Well I did fire 55 EZ....didn't get my run in, I just felt too groggy and like I'm coming down with a cold. Two more workouts to bust this week and then I'm away for a week...keep pushing play, people!

Oh I'm trying to find some motivation today! My plan: Fire 55 EZ C25K wk4 (possibly two lots) My problem: Am very congested in throat and glands this morning. Really don't fancy doing any of it! Maybe after I finish this disgusting menthol pastille I'm sucking to ease the congestion, I'll do a lower intensity version of…

I understand it to be higher weights with lower reps. I'm looking to start it in the new year after I finish Turbo Fire. I'm thinking I will use resistance bands, the select tech weights sound awesome- the price tag is way too awesome for me!

Here's the link to the blog, if you're interested: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/Huskeryogi/view/my-personal-thoughts-on-logging-cleaning-calories-154113

I've started doing this and someone posted an interesting blog that included a formula on how they calculated it. I used it and worked out that for me, it was 75kcals per hour. After a lengthy period of weight stagnation, I've been doing this for 3weeks now, and I've started to lose again, maybe just by being more…

Well I reached my limit today!! Did my c25k run and then in a moment of madness, decided to do the next day (which was also a new week, so more running). Kept telling myself that I could stop anytime as I'd done one run today, but felt fine so kept going....got home and started my TF, stupidly decided to do fire 45 EZ…

Petty witty, I agree, this thread is soooooo inspiring!! What hybrid are you doing? I fancy doing the CLX/TF hybrid, but I'm unsure as to whether to do the straight CLX first....any suggestions from anyone? Obviously not until I finish TF....I WANT to complete my 20 weeks, as I'll feel so damn proud of myself at the end,…

Don't worry if life gets in the way a little! We'll all have times when that happens :smile: How far had you got into TF? It seems a shame to start from scratch, would you be able to do a modified version of a week just to get yourself back into the swing of it? Started week 6 today- wow! I even picked up on C25k…

I'm perfectly happy and have come to terms with my addiction. That said, my world probably wouldn't fall apart if I missed a day...there's a measure of accountability and responsibility to myself in it, just as if I join a thread for doing a certain exercise regime I'll try to comment on it every day.

Crushed week 5!! Yeah!!! Just plotted out my schedule for the next week, but I noticed that the 1st 3weeks of the cardio are all the same! Noooooo!!!! Might add in a bit extra here and there. HRM is officially kaput. Tried changing batteries, washing chest strap, tightening it, loosening it.....nothing. Never mind. Keep up…

When I started I noticed I was starving about 4-5 hours after completing a workout and even after eating my lunch. I try to find healthy snacks for those times, and I've also tried working out at different times of the day.

I'm in my 5th week of Turbo Fire, which is also cardio based, and I had a slight gain, which only at the end of the 4th week I've started to lose. I have lost inches though. I was starting to feel a bit disheartened, but I read this article, which someone posted on here and I've nabbed and keep it in my notes as 'something…

Welcome Jataijah! Hope you're loving TF :smile: I did fire 30, core 20 & sculpt 30, ending with stretch 10... I was this close to going for stretch 40...but as I'd worked out for nearly an hour and a half, I was feeling pretty tired...lame excuse, I know :indifferent: Gotta get over my stretch 40 apathy! Oh...and I think…

I've done a few JM DVDs and recognise a lot of comments I've seen on these boards about the impact they have on people's knees. 6wk6pack was great for me in L1, but I had to stop L2 because I was finding it too hard going on my knees. I think I might have been sacrificing form in order to keep up, but that's the only one…

Did fire 55 EZ today, on week 5, so still a while to go. I felt like I jumped my highest during the fire drills :-)

I was looking at a poster at the doctor's that said that a healthy waistline was less than 80cm. Apparently, this reduces the risk of heart disease.

^^^Nice!! Am going to really try and do more than 30 min of the stretch 40....really I am....honest!
