I LOVE Turbo Fire! If you love it you should totally see if a gym near you has Turbo Kick classes. It's pretty much like doing Fire 60 :-) I teach it twice per week and while I love the videos I love the energy that a live class provides too :-)
-
Coupons for sure... or, if you have a membership to Sam's Club or Costco you can buy some things in bulk to save money in the long run.

BMR = how many calories you burn during the day at rest. It's really the MINIMUM amount you should be consuming any day. You can adjust your My Fitness Pal profile to be that same number, but then don't forget to add your calories burned during exercise. It's just the span of the day... it doesn't matter whether it's…

I use it, I love it, I am a coach it's true, but I don't care if you purchase it through me, hence my opinion is not biased in any way. For me, it totally curbs my sugar cravings to where you can place a sundae in front of me and I'll be like, "it's ok, I'm good," and I also have more energy and my skin looks better when…

My favorite Belly Dance video is called "My Personal Trainer"... I believe it's by Rania. The Bellydance Twins, Neena and Veena (I think that's it), have some good ones too. If you are simply looking for technique DVDs, then check out the ones by the Bellydance Superstars :)
-
How often do you allow yourself to rest? That sounds as though you could be overtraining. Perhaps try taking it down a notch in the Turbo Kick... be sure to stay hydrated during class, and immediately following. Also, try eating something immediately following the class... when working out you REALLY depleat your energy…

I start PUSH on Monday. I ended up having an unintentional (though not totally uncalled for) "rest" week this week between phases because I strained a back muscle... DOH! I was still cardio crazy this week, though, because I taught a couple extra classes. I'm looking forward to starting PUSH... particularly for the lower…
-
*bumping back up* Well, you know I've done it... and I LOVE it! I do recommend, though, playing your own music with it, because the music on the DVDs is kinda "zzzzzzzzzz." Hehehehe. My favorite in the series is Firm It Up... it's a fabulous lower body attack! :)
-
It depends on how you use them. If you simply wear them for running, or doing cardio, then it's likely going to be harder on your joints all the way up. But just your back? If it affects your back that comes from using bad form and just having generally weak core muscles (which makes you, overall, more prone to back…
-
If she loves dancing I think she'll love it! It surely does work the core, and the moves are fun... especially if you are a good dancer (I'm not, really, do I try not to have a mirror around... hahah). By the time I did some HHA I'd already lost weight, but I can tell it's a great program! If you have any questions about…
-
You are providing a little more resistance, so you would burn more calories because more energy would have to be expended for that movement... but that wouldn't count as strength training, in the class sense of it. It may help build up a little more endurance, but it's not really going to hit the muscles the way that…
-
But, it's not dieting :) It's just healthy eating. Have you tried the recipes in the nutrition guide? Boy, they don't feel like deprivation at all... they are so good! :-)
-
Yes! I just hit Day 30 and will be moving into the PUSH phase on Friday! I love 2 lbs. and 6.74 inches in my first 30 days... woohoo!
-
I use the Total Women's Health formula, Joint Support Formula, and I used to use ActiVit (but had to put those on hold... not because I don't like them, but because I got put on Accutane and can't take vitamins/supplements w/vitamin A in it). I also buy their chocolate peanut butter protein bars... yummo! Oh, and I have…

Thank you :blushing: :flowerforyou:

Calories burned really depends on LOTS of factors... from height, to weight, to current level of fitness, to how intense you brought your workout... so, you can't really base it on what other people post... unless you find someone who is in almost the exact same place as you, and then, maybe, it'll work out that way.
-
Yes, but when I do it's because I'm making a strong decision to do so, and not letting my emotions lead me into a binge. Sometimes it's nice to have an indulgence, ya know?
-
I'm not sure there's going to be many videos related to that, simply because it's soooo easy to hurt yourself if you are kicking/punching improperly. If you are looking for a DVD, you'll have to think of looking more for instructional style DVDs... because getting the form explained is VERY important... and even then it's…
-
Also, recheck your starting weight that you entered, maybe you missed a digit (or it didn't read).
-
Opt for grilled, boiled, broiled... etc. Fish is a great choice, pretty much any kind. Shrimp is also low in calories and has no fat (score!)
-
There really is no such thing as muscle "tone" (as they say)... that is just what people call it when you can see your muscle definition... but that really just comes from burning enough fat so that your muscles show a little better. So, you don't really "tone" your muscles by lifting weights, but moreso by burning the fat…

Just don't let depression eating kick into play and you'll be ok. It's BEST to take care of yourself... because injury to the spine is nothing to take lightly. So, let them help you get it better :flowerforyou:

Girl, I'm with ya! Ever since I started this new lifting regime it's like the hunger just won't stop... I eat every 2-3 hours, smaller meals, I get in more proteins... but I'm still hungry. So, I gave into it and had a large meal the other nice, and the same thing! I'm seriously thinking about getting one of those…
-
MollyK - I also use jojoba oil! My friend recommended that to me for my face, and so I use a little each morning... considering the fact that I'm on Accutane right now and am not experiencing serious dryness... well, then, I guess it's doing the trick! I also use a Sea Buckthorn facial moisturing lotion.
-
All of those suggestions are good. When you go outside do you properly cover your skin? If you let your skin get exposed to the cold air, that can really dry it out. Also, certain soaps/body washes can zap moisture away... so be sure to get a moisturizing wash. Lastly, I've heard that using really hot water to shower can…

PS - I've read articles that the "winter blahs" come from a deficiency in Vitamin D (which our body will naturally produce from sun exposure)... less time out in the sunlight, less Vitamin D... more blahs. But, do a little research and don't take my word 100% on this topic - http://healthlink.mcw.edu/article/982088787.html

Acai Berries are just the latest "trend." Sure, they have antioxidant values... but so do blueberries, pomegranite, rasberries... and hundreds of other fruits and berries out there. Since Acai berries are new and hip there's been a market created for them. Supplements are created for just what they are called...…

Soup soup soup (especially chicken noodle)! Also, drink up on some hot tea w/lemon and honey. Orange juice is good (b/c you get the vitamin C boost too). Meal replacement shakes can help you keep calories up, too. Fruit should be ok to swallow, just get softer fruit.

I'd love to meet her! :D
