Turbo Fire - Day 1

HOLY CRAP.

P90X was hard. I built some serious muscle, I became more flexible, I got to the point where I was able to do things that I never thought I'd be able to do. Some mornings were hell, and it was 90 freaking days, but I DID IT.

Turbo Fire is an entirely different beast.

I got my package last night, and couldn't WAIT to open it. And it came with this beautiful little calendar detailing my "class schedule." And that's when I saw it.

TWENTY WEEKS? Are they serious?

Anyway, while I was already staying up way too late last night, I did the math for how many calories you should be eating. What I like is that every four weeks or so, they have you recalculate, since your body is changing. Awesome :)

So the daily calorie count for now is 1850.

The first workout this morning was Fire 30 and Stretch 10 (the numbers are the minutes that the workout lasts). Chalene is a MACHINE. I did the "new to class" option, so that she explained the moves to me more before making me do them. And it was 30 minutes of constant motion. I was DRENCHED. Sweat streaming down my face, my hair soaked. Tucked into those 30 minutes are 3 different rounds of cardio and 2 fire drills. The fire drills are 70ish seconds where you go BALLS TO THE WALL and just hit it. You get a full minute of rest after that, but you've got to give it everything you've got for those 70 seconds. It's tough. It's fun. I think I loved it.

And my stomach thinks that it should eat everything in the world right now since the after burn (of calories) is insane.

Stretch 10 was nice, too. Ten minutes of stretching and relaxing. I'm totally down with that ;P

So day 1 is under my belt. We'll see what Day 2 has in store for me tomorrow :D

Oh...and starting weight was 201.5 this morning. Let's work through that last 50 pounds!!!
