I've been doing TurboFire since May. I started with the Prep (easier) schedule, and "graduated" to the regular schedule. I've lost 24 pounds and 24 inches, and have gone from a size 2X down to 16! It's a fun workout, with different routines every day.

I'm wondering if diet soda is responsible for the plateau I just hit. I went from losing 1-2 pounds a week since May to not losing any at all for the past 2-3 weeks. Until recently I wasn't drinking anything sweetened with nutrasweet, now I'm having soda every day or two.

It's very "up", bouncy & energetic, so I do look forward to exercising each morning. You work up quite a sweat - I exercise first thing in the morning so I can shower right after. You have to be able to block out a 30-60 minute block of time (depending on that day's routine) when you know you'll be able to do it. It's a…

It's a Beachbody program, using Cardio, Toning, and Interval Training. There are about a dozen different routines, some short, and some up to an hour. The basic moves are a lot like kickboxing - punches and some kicks, with an emphasis on building strong core muscles. Chalene Johnson is very high energy, and the music is…

Keep up the good work! Yes, you'll put on "baby weight", but you can keep eating healthy and exercising! I'll watch your progress - as you lose weight, you look more and more like my sister! :)

Fire 45 today. I must admit, this is my least favorite routine so far. The music isn't as inspiring, and the moves just don't flow as smoothly (although that "Tina" move was pretty cool); even the Fire Drills weren't as In-Your-Face! as in Fire 55 or 30. It feels like it was the first Turbofire routine she put together,…

I started Turbofire back on May 9th and love it! In 7 weeks I've lost 15 pounds and over 10 inches! I started with the easier "Prep" schedule because I'm 50 and took all the warnings that come with the program to heart. :) After 6 weeks I switched over to week 1 of the regular TF schedule. (Prep week 7 is when the HiiT…

Hi Rosie, It's working for me - I've been doing Turbofire for 4 (going on 5) weeks. I've lost 12 pounds and about 8 inches. I've also been very good about watching what I eat. I'm 50 years old, about 80 pounds overweight, and not in top physical condition, but I've been able to keep up so far! In another thread, someone…

Why I like Turbofire: 1. Chalene is so *up*! More spunky than Debbie Siebers in Slim in 6, and so much less corny than Tony (in Power Half Hour). 2. The video takes the form of a "class" full of people that you are one of, instead of just watching 3 people on the screen. It's fun to hear their reactions when Chalene tells…

I started with the Prep schedule, because all the "make sure you are in good enough shape to do TF" warnings scared me a little :) I'm on week 4 now. My joints are doing fine! I'm tracking my food here, but also using beachbody.com's SuperGym to track my workouts.

Hi, Swaymyway, There are several people here doing Turbofire! I started on May 9th, with the prep schedule of workouts. I love it! I was interested to see that I'm starting off about where you were 3 years ago! I'm 50, though.

Are you doing the regular schedule (on the poster sheet)? I'm doing the Prep schedule in the book, and it starts off a lot easier. It alternates the same 5 routines for the first 3 weeks, before moving on to other routines, so it's easier to get the hang of things. You can also pick the "New to Class" option on the…
