  • My wrist and palms feel fine, and I don’t have any injuries or arthritis. So I think it might be my grip strength. I will have to try and develop that. My husband has a few grip strength devises that I squeeze, I can start using those. I hope that working on my grip strength everyday will help, but I don’t want to overdo…
  • First of all...congrats on your wedding! ;) I have done both Turbo Fire and ChaLean Extreme but I haven't done the hybrid yet, I'll start the hybrid after I'm done with my second round of TF. I think both videos are awesome and if I was in your shoes I would do the hybrid. I'm sure you will get great results! Good luck! :)
  • That is a great article! A good workout to do if anyone is interested in doing a fun workout with HIIT integrated into it is Turbo Fire. This is my soul mate workout!!!
  • Good job!!! I'm happy that you met your goal :)
  • MFP already calculates a calorie deficit so you should eat the recommended calories that MFP says you should eat. And how many calories you burn during your workout you should be adding those calories back into your diet (so you can eat more food, YAY!). Say MFP says you should eat 1200 calories and you burn 300 calories…
  • I scoop of whey protein (fruity flavored one) 2 cups spinach 1/2 cup Greek yogurt 1/4 cup water 1/4 cup frozen blueberries 1/4 cup frozen strawberries *Blender needed
  • I always wear my HRM, even if I'm just weight training. My heart rate does get higher when I'm doing some weight training. There seems to be a mild cardio effect when lefting weights. I just like to eat so I like to try and add those calories back into my diet :wink:
  • @ jataijah I just bought some UFC weighted gloves at my local Sports Authority. The weights are removable so I can increase or decrease the weight. I see the Amazon sells the same gloves, but they didn't get good reviews: http://www.amazon.com/UFC-Weighted-Gloves/dp/B004ECLEZU. I bet there are better ones out there but…
  • I live in the Seattle area and we use Amazon Fresh for our groceries. I love it! I would have to say that there are times when I'm not happy with the produce, but over all it's totally worth it since I hate going to the grocery store. They are pretty good about reinbursing you if you tell them the food was bad, so that's…
  • Fire 45 is by far my favorite workout. I just love the "Boom I Got Your Boyfriend" song. I just started week 11 of Turbo Fire, I'm going to do the advanced DVDs too so I have a long ways to go but I am loving Turbo Fire :)
  • I just started week 11 of Turbo Fire and I totally love every minute of it :love: At first it’s a little frustrating if you haven’t done Turbo Jam, since you have to learn the terminology. But I start with Turbo Fire and I managed to figure it out over time, you just have to stick with it and you’ll get it down. I thought…
  • I used to get them a lot. My cysts always seemed to burst and I'm sure it was because I didn't take it easy like I was supposed to :( I found that jumping around was extremely painful so if I was to do my workout I would go with a low impact workout like walking. I took advil for the pain and I also found that applying…
  • Great job!!! I recently entered a parallel universe with my size as well. I actually couldn’t believe it when I went in the dressing room with a size 8 dress and I had to request for a size 6; and that was even too big so I asked for a size 4. I was shocked that I could get my butt in a size 4. I was in such shock that I…
  • I’m sticking to MFP diet guidelines. I have tried other diet sites in the past but I wasn't losing any weight. I feel it was because I wasn't eating enough calories and trying to stick to a calorie range no matter how many calories I burned during my workouts. My heart rate monitor is my best friend so now I know roughly…
  • People tend to make fun of me when I tell them what's in my protein/recover shakes. But they only laugh because they haven't tried it yet, I promise it tastes really good! - 1 scoop Isopure zero carb protein powder Mango Peach - 1/2 cup non fat Greek yogurt - 1/4 cup frozen blueberries - 4-6 frozen strawberries - 2 cups of…
  • I am on my 4th week for Turbo Fire and I'm loving it! Working out always seemed like such a chore until TF. I didn't do Turbo Jam so I had to learn the moves, and I would have to admit I'm sure I look a little silly since I'm realizing how uncoordinated I am :) But I get my butt out of bed every morning to get my TF on.…
