Turbo Fire vs Turbo Kick
Have any Turbo Fire fans tried Turbo Kick, the program that's offered at the gym? The gym I'm thinking of joining offers Turbo Kick and I'm wondering how it compares to Turbo Fire. I know they are two different programs, just wondering about intensity. I don't want Turbo Kick to be too low key and not enough of a challenge…

Silly question about using my Garmin to reach my goal pace
This is a stupid question but I'm asking anyway! I have a Garmin Forerunner 10. My question is which pace is it giving me when it beeps every mile? The pace for that mile or my average of the miles I've run? Basically, if I want to run a 5k in 30min with a 9:39pace, which column shows the number that I should see each mile…

base mileage
I'm going to register for half marathon that will be on Feb. 23rd and will start official training at the end of November/beginning of December. I've been on a bit of running break for the past 4 months, running 5 miles per week tops. I need to get back to running now before I officially start training. What is a good…

Finished Turbo Fire!
These 12 weeks flew by! I loved doing Turbo Fire and it is definitely my soulmate workout. My results are not as spectacular as I had hoped but progress is progress, no matter how small. The first 4 weeks of Turbo Fire I was unknowingly eating at my maintenance level so I had 0 change but then I figured out my #'s and the…

Inferno Plan
Is this supposed to be included in the set I ordered (the basic one) or is it an extra that I would need to order? I'm not sure I want to do it but I just want to make sure I got it if I was supposed to. The only thing my set came with was the schedule, the fuel the fire book and the dvds for the 12 week program.

Which program to start with?
I am trying to decide which program to start with, Combat or Turbo Fire. I know eventually I will own both but can only afford one program for now. I loved Combat when I took the class at my old gym (but then they got rid of les mills classes..ahhh!) so I decided to buy the at-home program. I went on to beachbody.com to…

40% carb marcos
I am having a hard time meeting this macro...I ended up going over everyday. Usually I'm between 47%-55% carbs. My diary is open if you would like to look. I really don't eat much of bread, pasta, potatoes...I do eat granola everyday. I'm thinking the other carbs come from my fruit intake? Any suggests how to get closer to…

Am I irrational?
I get home from work at 8:45pm on Thursdays and usually H is already home from work. Tonight I get home and he's not here. It's raining here so I got concerned that maybe something happened on this drive home so I called him and he said he stopped at a friend's house after work. Am I wrong to be annoyed that he didn't text…

Split calculator
I found this calculator for pacing with negative splits: http://www.runningforfitness.org/calc/racepaces/split It's helpful but I was wondering if anyone knew a of calculator where you put in your projected splits yourself and it calculates the final race time and avg. pace for you based on what you want to run in each…

getting more fat in my diet
I have my macro goals set at 40% carbs, 30% protein and 30% fats. I'm doing well with my protein intake and end up going over on the carbs but not by much..this is something else I need to work on. My big problem is with fats...I would say I average about 16% per day instead of 30%. Any tips for getting more healthy fat in…

Non-workout days
I've browsed several pages but didn't get an answer to this question. My TDEE with 20% cut is 1770. I know that if I burn more than the difference between my TDEE and BMR then I should track those and eat them but what about on non-workout days? I plan to run 1 mile and lift heavy MWF and run on Tues, Thurs and Sat and…

shoe question
I have Brooks Adrenaline (11th gen) and I didn't start keeping track of my miles when I first got them but I think they have a little over 300 miles on them. I've noticed that the heel part of my left shoe is starting to feel loose and my foot moves in the back part of the shoe when I walk but it doesn't bother me too much…

ordering salad at a restuarant
My go-to meal when I go out to eat with friends, etc is a chicken cesar salad without the cesar dressing....I ask for oil and vinegar on the side and usually end up only putting balsamic vinegar (I love the flavor!). Is this a good game plan or am I kidding myself thinking that is a health restaurant option. I assume the…

I am getting married in 3 months and I'm interested in starting Insanity soon as a DIY "bridal bootcamp" for myself. It possible to do insanity and incorporate other workouts (strength training and running) or do I have to stop all other workouts and ONLY do insanity?
