  • CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! You look amazing and your attitude is so inspiring! Way to go, lady!
  • AMAZING job! You look gorgeous :)
  • I have gone from a 40DD to a 36C. I would say that my boobs are still roughly the same shape/firmness as before. Not perky, not saggy. I am incredibly happy with my smaller, yet still average sized boobs :) Info: I am 21 and do do chest exercises.
  • That's where I found it! :)
  • Hello! I am also 5'9" and so far (in about 2 years...although the last year I maintained) I have lost about 70 pounds. Because I had a lot to lose (starting weight ~250lbs) the weight came off super fast at first, but now I too am struggling with a plateau. After maintaining my 70 pound loss for a year, I have recently…
  • Absolutely! If you want to increase the amount that your core is working, try doing goblet squats. Here's a link with a picture: http://www.oprah.com/health/Lose-the-Last-10-Pounds-Workout_1/5 When you're holding the weight in front of your body, you want to lean forward, but the purpose of the squat is to remain upright.…
  • Workout for 2.6.13: HIIT 15 + Sculpt 30 Holy cow!!! This was technically my second time doing sculpt 30, but my first time doing it properly. I wasn't prepared the first time I did it to use a resistance band with handles, so I just used my normal resistance bands. It didn't go well. After the workout was over, I drove…
  • 1.5.13: 3 mile run..this time inside on a treadmill. I just couldn't handle another day in the snow! I am so ready for warmer weather! Happy sweating everyone :)
  • Hello again ladies!!! I am back! My cold decided to linger and I am just now feeling completely better! I am so ready to get back to a routine! Today marked the official start to training for my second half marathon (happening on May 4th!). Unfortunately this means that running will take priority over all other forms of…

  • I love your attitude here! It is so hard to stay positive when you have a setback, but it sounds like you handled it well. And also, great job on not beating yourself up. I honestly think that is the hardest part about this journey- learning how to deal with real life situations and knowing that one or two bad days aren't…
  • First of all, AMAZING burn!!!! And second, congrats on losing a pound! I know as you get closer to your goal that gets harder and harder to do. You're awesome!
  • Hey ladies! Sorry I've been MIA...I'm getting over a bad cold and needed to rest for a few days. I feel much better today and was excited to get back to Turbo Fire. 1.23.13: HIIT 20 This is still one of my favorite workouts; the time just flies by! Great job sticking with the program, everyone...it's quite a commitment but…
  • CONGRATULATIONS!! What an amazing feeling! I am so proud of you and your dedication! You are awesome!
  • 1.17.13: HIIT 25 I was so nervous for this long of a HIIT workout but I crushed it!! I did so much better than I thought I was going to and I felt great, albeit exhausted, afterwards. Jovan0609- I'm so sorry to hear your knee has been hurting you. I hope it starts to feel better fast. You are so dedicated to push through…
  • Thank you and Jovan0609 both so much for the info on HRMs! I will be sure to let you know when I purchase one! 1.16.13: FIRE 45 This is probably my favorite workout of Chalene's so far. I just love the music and the dance moves (especially when you slap your knees at the beginning!) I am loving that I can follow her moves…
  • 1-15-13: FIRE 30 + Jillian Michaels' Killer Abs, Level One Today was the most fun I've ever had during Fire 30 and the best I've done with the choreography! I was so happy! This was my 4th time through the workout and I am so glad to see that I am finally learning the moves! I introduced two of my closest friends to Turbo…
  • Thank you so much for the kind words and support! This group is amazing :)
  • 1-11-13: Rest Day Tomorrow is Fire 45 + stretch! I can't wait because I haven't done this particular workout before! I'll be sure to let you all know how it goes! Happy sweating!
  • Fitness DVDs are a great way to workout!! I find them motivating because I can work at my own pace with no one watching me...and it's a lot easier to convince yourself to do a thirty minute video than to drive to the gym, workout, and then drive home. Good luck with your videos!
  • I take off my socks and sweatpants. I always pee right before! Sometimes, you know, I'll do ten or so jumping jacks just in case :) haha! This topic is making me smile :)
  • I feel your pain! Who knew that 15 minutes could be SO effective? Great job, though!
  • I, too, prefer the HIIT workouts better than the longer Fire workouts. I did HIIT 15 again today and it went much better than the first time I did it.
  • I cannot wait to try Tone 30 (I think I get to in 2 days!) I'm so glad you got a great workout! Great job making it to week three!
  • 1-9-13: Turbo 55 EZ: I did this with my sister and we both had a hard time getting through it! We used the "new to class" option, which definitely extends the workout!! We only made it about 45 minutes in and then we were both so exhausted (I chalk this up to it being the first week back to classes after break which means…
  • I am curious to hear about HIIT 25. I felt that HIIT 15 was really intense and I expected HIIT 20 to be harder, but I was surprised when HIIT 20 felt easier than HIIT 15. In my mind I equate the length of the workout with how hard it will be. Now though, I'm thinking that as the HIIT workouts get longer, they aren't as "in…
  • Hello everyone! I am on week two, day four! Today's workout for me will be HIIT 15 + Stretch 10! Let's burn some fat!!!
  • Hello everyone! I just started week two of Turbo Fire today and I have really been struggling with it as well. I love working out at a high intensity, and I love Chalean's energy, but I have such a hard time keeping up with the long sequences she incorporates. Sometimes, even when I use the "new to class" option, I still…
  • I just started it 5 days ago! It is so much fun!
