The Workout

Obviously working out is a major part in weight loss.  One thing I have struggled with is boredom.  Sometimes I go to the gym and just walk out.  Why? Because its soooo boring, not to mention in my little hometown I get stuck with look at the same annoying faces lol (no offense)  So I decided maybe I'll try a home workout. 

The first home work out I tried is Insanity.  I will say that Insanity is without a doubt the best full body workout I've ever experienced.  However after about 3 weeks of the program I no longer had the desire to complete it.  It is extremely intense (which don't get me wrong intensity is good!) and not very fun.  It is also difficult to have time for Insanity because you have to dedicated 45-60mins a day 6 days a week and with a full time job, and school, that's very difficult.  There is a light though....

I was introduced to  Turbo Fire by my good friend Ashley.  She spoke so highly that I just assumed she was over exaggerating.  But let me tell you, this is the GREATEST home workout for women.  It is so fun! I actually look forward to doing the workouts every day and the best part is the music.  The song choices are so good that I find myself yelling the words to the song while out of breath and dripping sweat.  Another great thing about Turbo Fire is the time commitment is different everyday.  It also includes days that are just 15 mins, and those darn 15 min Fire drills will have you dripping buckets of sweat.  I just cannot speak more highly of this workout and frankly I think I'm in love with Chalean.  She is so fun, cute, and truly motivates you during the entire workout.

One of my friends was at the gym yesterday and when I saw her with a little sweat, I decided I will start following the class schedule on Turbo Fire much better. I've had this workout and have only been doing it here and there, but I will definitely start following the schedule.

  1. I was the same way with getting bored... I found The Shape Project bootcamp in July and have finally found something I enjoy doing! The past couple of months I've been missing more than I should... it's 3X a week and I'm also doing yoga one day a week. I am going to try to start running for my other 2-3 days... I'd like to be active 5-6x a week. I might have to look into the turbo fire workouts for something to change it up sometimes.

    1. The bootcamp sounds amazing. I wish Muskogee had something like that and I would definitely do it. The Turbo Fire is 6 days a week so I've been doing that and on the days where the Turbo Fire workout is only 15 or 20 min, I run. So I would say I do intense cardio conditioning 6 days a week, and run 3-4 days a week.

      Lyndi, You would LOVE turbo fire. It is really just a great workout and just so fun.
